Nodrog666 on Numot Stax

Hey man! Good first draft! I like some of the ideas in here. I have some constructive criticism for you, so, as brutally honest as I will be with my suggestions, keep in mind I’m just offering my best advice on how to improve this list. I tested this deck a bit and here’s some thoughts I have:

More Tutor / Draw: You’re running very little card advantage, which I noticed when I was testing this deck. There isn’t enough dig or deck manipulation going on here. Basically every time I found myself durdling. Here are some suggestions:

• Sensei's Divining Top
• Scroll Rack
• Crystal Ball
• Courier's Capsule
• Wheel of Fortune
• Windfall
• Stroke of Genius
• Mystic Remora
• Mulldrifter
• Ponder
• Jace Beleren
• Long-Term Plans
• Fabricate
• Land Tax
• Academy Rector
• Idyllic Tutor
• Madblind Mountain
• Fetch Lands. Literally any fetches.

More spot removal: Your deck doesn’t have a lot of ways of dealing out targeted removal. Mass Land D and other sweeper spells are great and all, but you also need ways of handling individual problems as they arrive. Here are some suggestions I have:

• Path to Exile / Swords to Plowshares
• Seal of Cleansing / Dispeller's Capsule
• Return to Dust
• Crush Contraband
• Capsize
• Boomerang
• Shattering Pulse
• Shattering Spree
• Oblation
• Chaos Warp
• Lightning Bolt
• Pongify

More Persistent harassment: You’re running MLD, Tax, but you aren’t running a whole lot of effects to consistently torment the opponent. Smokestack, Pendrell Mists, Kataki, War's Wage, Manabarbs keep pressure on your opponents. Even just running more stuff to slow things down (Winter Orb, Tangle Wire, Kismet, Rule of Law, Stranglehold etc.) would be useful here.

Consider less creatures, more enchantments: Hatebears are cool, but consider the fact that they are easier to kill than their enchantment counterparts. Magus of the Moon dies much easier than Blood Moon and you want these effects to have a good return on investment. This one is more food for thought than actual criticism.

Suggestions for cuts: Hall of Heliod's Generosity (?): It’s a great card, but right now you aren’t running enough Enchantments to justify it. Most of the time it’s going to just tap for colorless. If you run more Enchantments, it’s a keeper! (I think I’m going to try and find a slot for my own deck)

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain: This is pretty vestigial. It’s not really pulling much weight. Cut it.

Karn, Silver Golem: See above.

Remorseful Cleric: This is too squishy. Run Tormod's Crypt instead. Just as easy to recur (moreso, in fact, cause Academy Ruins sees it) and it lowers your curve.

Tomik, Distinguished Advokist: I get what you’re going with here, but you’re blowing up your lands anyway, making them untargetable is kind of moot. There’s a bunch of hatebears I’d rather run in this slot.

Burning of Xinye / Wildfire: These are weak, you can do way better for MLD in your colors. Add Sunder (Cheaper at Instant speed!).

Saltblast: This card is kind of bad. Costs waaay too much for targeted removal. Also, is completely dead against decks that run white. I’d honestly remove this and replace it with Wrath of God instead.

Karn, the Great Creator: Not doing enough. I see the combo with Mycosynth Lattice, but Hellkite Tyrant is a much better combo.

Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis: This card isn't great. If you want Elspeth, put in Elspeth, Knight-Errant or Elspeth, Sun's Champion instead. Both make tokens as a +1 ability.

Empowered Autogenerator: Too slow, too expensive. It’s not as good as it looks. Ideally, rocks should slot into the 0-3 CC range. If you desperately wanted something in the 4 slot, why not just run Thran Dynamo instead? It’s more consistent.

Firemind Vessel – See above.

McToters on Naban, Dean of Irritation

Wow, this is super fascinating! I’ve never seen a mono-blue deck like this before. Naban is a great choice for a commander. Hopefully some of my advice will help! These are just my initial thoughts.

1) Hot Damn, 55 creatures! That’s the most I’ve ever seen in a deck. I can see how it works with your commander though. So that’s pretty neat you’ve been able to make that work. Props to you on that. I think you have some room to take a few out though and add some good game-changers in.

2) I see a pathway to a little more efficiency if you do take some creatures out and you put in cards like Sculpting Steel, Mirrorworks or Mirage Mirror to copy your Panharmonicon. If you do that you can add in Fabricate, Inventors' Fair, Reshape, and Tezzeret the Seeker. At least this is the route I would go because it heavily backs up support for Panharmonicon—the only other card that does what your commander does. I know you don’t want to make this an artifact deck but with those handful of cards you can have a faster way to get what you want out since you already have easy access to your commander. And in the event your commander is targeted too much you have an alternative to copying your triggers.

3) I think I you should add in Cloudstone Curio from your maybe board if you already own it or can afford it. Helps bounce creatures back to your hand to play again for value. Also, if you add in those cards from my second bullet point you’ll have another useful artifact to tutor for. Altar of the Brood isn’t even a terrible idea either. I kind if like that actually.

4) Most likely unnecessary but since you are going tribal, have you ever entertained the thought of using Arcane Adaptation? It would enable you to add in some bomb non-wizards that could still count as wizards. Probably something you may not want to do but seems like it could open up some different options.

Awesome deck! +1

Geralda on Бюджетная Кесс

А сам почему через Маньяка/Джейса/Огакула + Консультация не играешь? - я вот сам пренципиально не играл "Маньяком" но всё же пауерлевел дек в мете вырос настолько, что пришлось положить эту комбу т.к. она гораздо быстре Изохрондраматика (пару раз удавалось на второй и третий ход её пропихнуть)

Твой вариант с Isochron Scepter + Narset's Reversal + Time Warp очень интересен, откуда ты такие техи берёшь? - я тут в сборках ничего подобного не видел, собственно, твой лист очень выделяется из общей массы и мне очень понравился наличием Dark Deal, Whispering Madness сейчас вот ещё увидел Underworld Breach - великолепно! обязательно их тоже положу. И с Fabricate - тоже спасибо за подсказку т.к. я-дурак использую Tribute Mage, но теперь понял что Fabricate в Кесс гораздо лучше!

Однако, лично я отказазался от такого большого количества манакамней (как у тебя) в пользу контры. Собственно, и Dispel в нашей мете показал себя гораздо лучше чем Pyroblast и REB. Понимаю - у тебя выход на бесконечную ману только с изохрона, мой же лист отличается: (раньше у меня была полностью реаниматорная Кесс и винкон был через быстый каст больших туш, с тех времён осталась одна хорошая комба) Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead = выход на бесконечную ману (в некоторых версиях и на бесконечные жизни), при удачном стечении обстоятельств закручевается на третий ход. Даже Entomb лежит ради этой комбы. Ну и наличае реанимации иногда помогает вернуть "Маняка"/Вора/Вымогателя или просто тушку из чужлго кладбища (в нашей мете есть Эльдрази и Демоны). Dockside Extortionist - удивлён что у тебя его нет т.к. это один из луших разгонов в формате. Past in Flames - дешёвая-дорогая вилка (Yawgmoth's Will) Final Parting - в моём случае невероятно сильная карта, т.к. позволяет сразу закрутить Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead, а с Кесс в столе можно выйграть и с Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation Spellseeker - позволяет искать почти все комбо-писы (Dramatic Reversal, Demonic Consultation, Torment of Hailfire, Exsanguinate) либо просто контру для прикрытия своей комбы или ответа на чужую.

Bolas's Citadel - в чём закрутка? с Sensei's Divining Top? Aetherflux Reservoir - как часто играет? (- у меня тоже лежит, но редко получается его закомбить - медленный тех) Seat of the Synod - зачем? (- это же не нулевой манаразгон) Chrome Mox - я не фанат этой карты... для меня всегда проблема - что под него импринтить, поэтому играю им только в Урзе. В Кесс даже не пробовал, но попробую... (в Кесс у меня лежит Lotus Petal - он мне больше нравится)

Пытаюсь переделать Кесс в шторм - что бы не быть зависимым от бесконечной маны, мне кажется это должно прибавить стабильности.

П/С - ты карты вручную размечаешь или тут есть автомат какой-то?

Sorry it's been a minute but finally getting around to physically upgrading this deck.

I appreciate all of your imput and please don't think it's gone unnoted Here is the list I currently have for replacements

Manalith - Arcane Signet Think this would just work better IMO

Crumbling Necropolis - Coalition Relic ^

Fetch - Temple of the False God Think this would be better due to having more mana rocks.

Fetch - Izzet Boilerworks - ^

Dissipate - Swan Song - You're right.

Rewind - Muddle the Mixture - You're right.

Undermine - Disallow - Looks better

Liliana - Narset, Parter of Veils - Idk about this but will give it a shot

Comet Storm - Anger of the Gods - Better removal

X - Finale of Promise - Idk what to sub...

Dreadbore - Fire Covenant - Better removal

Fabricate - Demonic Tutor - Duh lol

Toxic Deluge - Black Sun's Zenith - Life's a resource yeah?

Rakdos Signet - Fellwar Stone - Easier Filter Ramp

X - Lightning Greaves - Kessy Likes to draw attention to herself...

Basic- Talisman of Dominance

Basic - Talisman of Indulgence

X - Past in Flames

Basic - Commander's Sphere

I know you've spent a lot of time in your previous suggestions, and I really appreciate the effort man Honestly. Would you mind taking a look at what I've come up with and see if there's any room for the X's?

About to put an order in for an upgrade on this. Kessy is going to be my first cEDH deck I wanna upgrade.

The Budget has been increased but still things like Mana Drain, Yawgmoth's Will and stupidly priced cards like that are still a no go for obvious reasons lol.

SoggyWaffles777 on Competitive Solemnity in Selesnya

I think this is an awesome deck! I do have a couple of suggestions though. the sacrifice outlets (Blasting Station, Altar of Dementia, AKA your wincons) are too few in the deck. Also, i would suggest maybe splashing a little black for maybe a Murderous Redcap for a win with any sac outlet at all. Flesh-Eater Imp is a good sac outlet and a wincon provided that you get the rest of the combo pieces. Also, between Noble Hierarch and Birds of Paradise you could probably throw in at least 2 Fabricate to get your sac outlets. Another card that's fun with this kind of deck is Chronozoa. Similar to Fabricate it wouldn't be impossible to just slide one or 2 into the deck, but chances are you wont need them. I was going to recommend Dark Depths but haha BANNED that was awhile ago i don't know why i didn't remember. My only suggestions are more sac outlets or some more ways to find them like Fabricate. Great and original idea, +1 from me!

Tiphus on Lobotomist for dummies

FaiberJC, well, this is an interesting question. I think this can be done and the deck will not suffer much. I propose to make the following replacements:

1. Mission Briefing -> Snapcaster Mage
2. Chain of Vapor -> Laboratory Maniac
3. Thought Lash -> Baral, Chief of Compliance
4. Fabricate -> Trinket Mage
5. Codex Shredder -> Jace's Archivist
6. Rain of Filth -> Tomebound Lich

Specter_Of_Communism on Бюджетная Кесс

Привет.

Названий может быть и не часто увидишь русские, но русскоязычные описания были и до меня. Пока тестирую сборку, поэтому не парился над оформлением страницы колоды.

Прежде всего стоит отметить, что у нас в провинции мета тир 2-3, поэтому эта сборка пока показывает себя удовлетворительно. При этом в городе есть 2 тир-1 дека, среди которых Таже самая Кесс. Основное отличие: комба маньяк/джейс + консультация/пакт и наличие нормальных тюторов в виде демоника и вампирика.

С Fabricate, Whir of Invention в основном ищутся 2 основных закрутки: Isochron Scepter и Bolas's Citadel. Но также помогают в случае чего нарастить темп через нулевой манаразгон(Chrome Mox, Seat of the Synod) или чуть тяжелее, но и чуть профитнее, единичный манаразгон(Sol Ring, Mana Vault)

Scheming Symmetry - игра дипломата в половине случаев, договариваешься вытянуть какой-нибудь Sol Ring с оппонентом на пару, либо используется в закрутке, к примеру, при Bolas's Citadel в столе положить на топ Aetherflux Reservoir или Sensei's Divining Top. Во втором случае главное чтобы оппонент не умел на инстант скорости дровать карты. Рекомендуется целить самого слабого оппонента за столом.

Lightning Bolt - колоде нужны хорошие одномановые ремувалы. Поэтому болт. Убивает стакс на вроде уфа, может замедлить темп, убив дорка. Оба варианта хороши, если речь про темповые игры, где каждая мана на счету.

Red Elemental Blast и Pyroblast - отличный сайд против синих дек. Когда в мете стабильно присутствуют синие деки(тир-1 и тир-2 мета), то из сайда переходят железно в мейн. Как правило это одномановое средство против контры. В свою очередь Dispel контрит только инстант, что важно для тир-1 меты, где очень много контры и тюторов. В тир-2 мете не такое повальное засилье контры, поэтому для Dispel меньше целей чем для Red Elemental Blast и Pyroblast.

По плану на игру в принципе уже сказал выше. Остаётся добавить про нарсет/вор+колёса и инфинит ходы через Isochron Scepter + Narset's Reversal + Time Warp.

П.с. с моей субъективной точки зрения, если ориентироваться на компот, то наиболее эффективно играть в маньяка и изохрон, всё остальное играет хуже. Местные популярные листы в принципе это подтверждает.

McToters on Etrata, the Weird Wincon?

1 month ago

Nice brew! I contemplated building this when this was spoiled. I have some suggestions. Not sure if you have a budget but I'll try not to list anything expensive. BTW, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact you are running Rhystic Tutor! Definitely not a highly used card, but could be just as good as the expenisve tutors if you run a high-level political game.

As for tutors, I like the using some of the fringe stuff like Scheming Symmetry and Tunnel Vision. Now the latter doesn't appear to be a tutor and typically most want to use it for milling but you can totally use it on yourself to mill down to the card you are looking for. It's sometimes double the advantage if you are using graveyard shenanigans and want more cards in your graveyard anyway. This isn't necessarily a graveyard deck but it can probably still be proven as a useful tutor.

Windfall, Flash of Insight, Prosperity or even Teferi's Puzzle Box might be useful to you to wheel and deal through the deck in the event you do not have nay tutors in hand. Not something you have to include but another angle of how to get your commander in your hand. Tutoring is probably most effective and efficient.

Maybe a Sculpting Steel to copy Strionic Resonator? Could be sweet having two of those on the field and triggering both. Fabricate is a great artifact tutor.

My only other advice is maybe take out some of the creatures for anything new you put in since this deck solely cares about your commander's wincon.

Hope this helps! Good Luck! +1
