Grind on The Final Destination (The Afterlife)

1 month ago

hi, I like your deck! I have a couple suggestions:
Esper Panorama > Warped Landscape
i would consider High Market over or in addition to Miren, the Moaning Well.
I like Mirrorpool in theory but ive found i like never actually use its ability and it ETBs tapped - so i like Temple of the False God for 2x the mana and etb untapped...
your removal selection is really good already..
Proper Burial feels like an, "if you're winning win more" card to me but idk.
given that you are sacrificing your creatures i feel like you could have a little more recursion... i like Phyrexian Reclamation and Unburial Rites.
also i would consider just a little more card draw in general, i like Promise of Power, Ambition's Cost, Skeletal Scrying, Phyrexian Arena. but i've never played your deck so idk maybe you usually have enough cards.
anyway those are my thoughts, hope they are helpful and keep on having fun!

Hey, your deck is missing it's Commander. If Alela is the Commander of this deck then you can make it official by tagging her with CMDR. In the deck editor put the CMDR tag after Alela, Artful Provocateur text.

1x Alela, Artful Provocateur *F* *CMDR*

What this does is it displays the card image of Alela in the deck list making her the official Commander of your deck.

---

Bident of Thassa is a good repeatable draw source with Faeries. Faeries have flying meaning that more times than not you will do combat damage to your opponents when you attack. For each Faerie who does combat damage to an opponent you draw a card. This can draw you a lot of cards. Consider cutting Festive Funeral for Bident?

Some upgrades within the budget to consider:

• Cloud of Faeries > Moonglove Changeling
• Faerie Conclave > Safe Haven
• Faerie Swarm > Glen Elendra Pranksters
• Faerie Formation > Nightshade Schemers
• Latchkey Faerie > Fencer Clique
• Etchings of the Chosen > Always Watching
• Favorable Winds > Eel Umbra
• Counterspell > Spell Syphon
• Open the Armory > River's Grasp
• Generous Gift > Mortify
• Brainstorm > Cerulean Wisps
• Ponder > Advice from the Fae
• Mask of Memory > Winged Words
• Detention Sphere > Prison Realm
• Chromatic Lantern > Mana Geode
• Exotic Orchard > Rupture Spire
• Caves of Koilos > Vivid Meadow
• Sunken Hollow > Dimir Aqueduct
• Esper Panorama > Evolving Wilds

Good luck with your deck.

And it looks like spoilers don't work in comments, at least not for me! So much for keeping things neat. Anyway, here's what I wanted to say:

Cuts

Lands

• Esper Panorama - Seems unnecessary in a two color deck. If you build it right, color fixing should never be a problem

• Geier Reach Sanitarium - You have access to better card draw effects in black

• Kabira Crossroads - One time life gain doesn't make up for coming in tapped

• Memorial to Folly - This one is just okay. The effect is alright, probably not worth losing a land for in my opinion

• Orzhov Guildgate - I personally avoid tap lands like the plague, they slow you down to much in my opinion

• Radiant Fountain - One time life gain doesn't make up for this not producing colored mana

• Scoured Barrens - See Kabira Crossroads

Enchantments

• Curse of Fool's Wisdom - This really screws over one opponent, but what you should be shooting for is stuff that does "splash damage" so to speak, remember, you will usually have three or more opponents in a game.

Artifacts

• Armillary Sphere - This one is just okay. Ensures you hit land drops, but doesn't boost you

• Bontu's Monument - I don't feel like you're running enough creatures for this effect to pay off

• Fountain of Renewal - "On your upkeep" effects seem really powerful, but on a multiplayer format, your upkeep happens less often relatively speaking. It's not terrible for the cost, but I'm sure we can do better

Sorceries

• Final Parting - I don't think you have enough graveyard interaction to make this better than other tutors

Creatures

• Drana's Emissary - See Fountain of Renewal

• Ranger of Eos - This can only snag four of your creatures. Granted those creatures are pretty good for your strategey, but I personally don't think it is worth it

Instants

• Murder - There are definitely better kill spells we can find

• Ray of Distortion - Not bad, you're definitely getting that choice is key in EDH; however, I think there are a couple better options to choose from

Adds

Enchantments

• Ashes of the Abhorrent - Deathgreeter in enchantment form. Also hoses some graveyard strategies

Artifacts

• Sun Droplet - This card is a sleeper! Not that it says each upkeep, helping you stack those sweet, sweet Karlov triggers

• Talisman of Hierarchy - I love the talismans. Great rocks in any multicolor EDH deck in my opinion

Sorceries

• Read the Bones - One of my favorite black draw spells. Card selection plus draw is generally very powerful

• Syphon Mind - A critically underplayed draw spell in my opinion. Puts you up quite a few cards on each opponent

Creatures

• Blood Artist - This guy does work in so many situations. Usually an auto-target in most metas, that just goes to show how powerful the effect is

• Cliffhaven Vampire - If you're going to run Sanguine Bond, you should consider this guy too

• Deathgreeter - A lower-aggro Blood Artist. Most people won't mind the life gain, and Karlov can get swol

• Divinity of Pride - Similar to Serra Ascendant, big beater for cheap plus lifelink!

• Vizkopa Guildmage - See Cliffhaven Vampire

Instants

• Return to Dust - Gives you options and can snag two cards for one. Considered a staple in some circles

(I've been on this site a long time and I still haven't figured out the quirks of coding on here all that well!)

Hey, I like your version of Athreos and it has a much higher budget than your Niv deck, nice Scrubland :) There's not a lot of versions of Athroes yet to compare too, but there's some really good interactions here especially Nightmare Shepherd and Mangara of Corondor.

Puppeteer Clique can steal an opponents creature from their graveyard, attack with that creature, at your end step stack the triggers to first put a coin counter on that creature then exile it, returning it to the battlefield under your control.

Eldrazi Displacer can be repeatable exile of opponents creatures for three mana. Steal any opponents creature at your end step at instant speed after you put a coin counter on that creature. Displacer would require more colorless mana sources from lands and mana rocks: Caves of Koilos, Fetid Heath, Talisman of Hierarchy, Mind Stone, Tainted Field, Esper Panorama, Ash Barrens. Displacer can also protect you from an opponent creature attacking you since if you blink an attacking creature it will leave combat and ETB tapped. Can also use the blink with politics.

Plaguecrafter and Fleshbag Marauder are powerful creatures in multiplayer Commander who can sac themselves or another creature you control who may have a coin counter. These creatures are good with Mimic Vat which would give you a repeatable creature at instant speed who can make all your opponents sac a creature. Vat can pair nicely with many board wipes since you can imprint an opponents creature.

Good luck with your deck.

Neat multiplayer deck! I can see it's based in voting and multiplayer politics, i'm a really big fan of this idea

I notice you're playing Terramorphic Expanse Evolving Wilds, and Esper Panorama without playing any basic lands... It may be worth it to take out some of the slower ETB Tapped lands in favor of some basics here.

You should consider some of these cards: Coercive Portal -> Nets you an extra card each turn or wraths the board based on each players' decision Oreskos Explorer or Boreas Charger -> Good way to get you out of a situation where you're down on lands, with a nice multiplayer theme Wayfarer's Bauble -> Mana ramp in non-green colors Crystal Shard or Erratic Portal -> Buys back your own creatures that may have ETB effects, can also save your duders in a pinch Split Decision -> Voting card that can either copy a spell or counter one

Might be worth investing in a Ghostly Prison or Propaganda effect to deter people from attacking you

Some howling mine effects like Dictate of Kruphix or Howling Mine

Duskmantle Seer is always fun in a deck where you consistently have more life than an opponent

multimedia on Teysa karlov

Hey, nice budget version of Teysa.

Cards to consider adding:

• Caves of Koilos
• Tainted Field
• Isolated Chapel
• Esper Panorama
• Ash Barrens
• Viscera Seer
• Buried Alive
• Altar of Dementia
• Leonin Relic-Warder
• Fiend Hunter
• Animate Dead
• Open the Armory
• Angelic Renewal

Consider more ways to take advantage of Reveillark, Karmic Guide and Sun Titan? Altar of Dementia + Lark + Guide is infinite opponent mill combo that doesn't require an aristocrat to potentially win. Mill all your opponents or self-mill yourself until you find an aristocrat to win since you can reanimate it with Lark.

Lark + Guide + Blood Artist + Viscera Seer is one of the best Orzhov aristocrat combos and Buried Alive can tutor for and set up this combo by putting three of the creatures into your graveyard to reanimate them with Lark. Animate Dead + Leonin Relic-Warder + Artist is another powerful aristocrat combo. Warder enchanted by Animate creates a loop of Warder dying.

Fiend Hunter combos with one of Lark, Guide or Sun Titan since it can exile your own creature. Add a sac outlet and aristocrat to create a dying loop of Hunter. Animate Dead and Angelic Renewal are good with Sun Titan since Titan can reanimate them. Titan + Renewal is a combo with a sac outlet and aristocrat to create a dying loop of Titan. Open the Armory can tutor for Skullclamp or Animate Dead.

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Ravos/Tymna commander

Hey, since your deck is low budget consider adding more cards to take advantage of your best card? Your best card is Tymna :)

You have the right idea with wanting to add Kunoros and Kambal. Kunoros because of menace evasion, lifelink and it's a hatebear. Kambal because he can be a repeatable source of life gain. With Tymna you want more creatures who have evasion so they can more easily do combat damage.

White has many good budget flying creatures. Hatebears who fly and can also disrupt your opponents are good in multiplayer Commander: Aven Mindcensor, Kinjalli's Sunwing, Hushbringer, Tomik, Distinguished Advokist, Archon of Absolution. Flying creatures who can create flying tokens: Emeria Angel, Archon of Sun's Grace can be repeatable sources of flying creatures. You also want more repeatable sources of life gain to safely keep triggering Tymna: Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Wingmate Roc, Answered Prayers.

Cards that create flying tokens are nice to go wide which helps to attack more than one opponent. Spirit Bonds and Sacred Mesa can be repeatable source of flying tokens. Lingering Souls, Spectral Procession, Battle Screech, Midnight Haunting create flying tokens. Entreat the Angels can create a lot of 4/4 Angels. With more creatures with flying then you can play Sephara, Sky's Blade who has a powerful effect for flying creatures, has lifelink and other flying creatures reduce her casting cost.

Other budget cards ($1-$2 or less each) to consider adding:

• Lands: Command Tower, Tainted Field, Esper Panorama, Terramorphic Expanse, Ash Barrens, Orzhov Basilica
• Ramp: Talisman of Hierarchy, Dark Ritual, Heraldic Banner
• Fliers: Remorseful Cleric, Healer's Hawk, Vampire Nighthawk, Aerial Responder
• Tutors: Diabolic Tutor
• Removal: Swords to Plowshares, Kaya's Guile, Mortify
• Removal: Heliod's Intervention, Cleansing Nova

I offer more advice including what cards to cut. Would you like more advice?

Good luck with your deck.
