Horologium on Merica heck yeah

This deck has potential, I'm not sure if you're trying to go budget or not but I have a couple of suggestions:

I would get rid of Citadel Siege. And Virtue of Loyalty Your commander does this better than siege and while its not bad its slow for this deck which is the same issue with Virtue since you're already waiting for your 5-6 ish commander. In their stead I would put more advantage cards like Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender and/or Solemn Simulacrum or perhaps Thirst for Knowledge.

If you feel like your setup is fine then you could use some payoff/power cards. You might consider throwing in an Akroma's Will or Insurrection for example or if you get a creature really big you could swing with it then use stuff like Fling

Hmmm maybe Rite of Consumption would be up your alley? Its bit slower than Fling being a sorcery and its locked to targeting a player but it also heals in a pinch also you know it's black.

Okay so pivoting the deck I could go for Izzet walls, or something along the lines wiht cards like About Face and just Flinging walls around. Wall of Torches is an okay fling on its own (ig) and Wall of Fire is an okay mana sink into fling. This kind of deck could make a lot more use out of Wall of Runes and Mnemonic Wall to find flings and other card selection like Brainstorm imo kinda boring but if you want a "viable" walls deck this or a defender combo deck would be it. Mordor Trebuchet is really funny flavorwise but loses out on requiring non wall creatures to function... Though it should be noted that you can trigger it with Mistform Wall I suppose.

I really enjoy (incoming pun…) off the wall deck ideas, uncommon mechanics or anything else that shakes up a stagnant format, so this was pleasant to see. That said, there are some issues.

To begin with, no matter what direction the deck inevitably takes I’d say 12 lands is far, far too low. Yes, most of your cards are low costed, but that won’t make much of a difference if half your lands are buried at the bottom of your library after you shuffle. So give the land count a bump.

As for the general idea of what you’re trying to accomplish, I think it can be molded into something playable and fun, but I wouldn’t expect many wins. I think you need a more focused wincon at the moment. Off the top of my head I’d say you have a few choices if you want to retain the ‘wall stall’ theme: Either scour all available walls for one that somehow causes direct damage and build around that, go the somewhat tried-and-true route of Assault Formation/High Alert and turn those walls into offensive tanks (might be tough to do in Pauper—is The Great Forest pauper legal?), or else think outside the box and find a way to repurpose any given wall. Something along the lines of Fling but utilizing toughness, if such a card exists.

I obviously have no idea how exactly your deck looks. But I imagine you would have some damage multipliers such as Fiery Emancipation. So maybe try some Fling effects for the 1v1 phase of the game?

DreadKhan on Edh options

He's not heavily played, but Kresh the Bloodbraided can do some absolutely nutso things when he's big enough, and the deck often has some control elements (especially vs creatures, the deck wants to kill off everything but Kresh typically). It can be built on a budget (for Casual play) or as a High Power deck. On a budget you run all of the Merciless Executioner effects you can find, and at higher power you'll still run a bunch of them, but you'll also have Dictate of Erebos effects. Rite of the Raging Storm by itself turns Kresh into a huge body, and it's easy to include lots of Flings/Chandra's Ignition/Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to win, but you can also use stuff like Mandate of Abaddon to wipe the board and one-shot someone, there are a TON of cards that play very well with Kresh, and people probably aren't familiar with the deck at this point.

Another option might be Azorius Control, Azorius is a great pair for wipes, removal and countermagic, meaning you can deal with problems, both for yourself as well as the table. I guess you might go something like Shorikai, Genesis Engine and play any vehicles that don't suck? You can freely wipe your pilots without risking your vehicles, even without things like Teferi's Protection. The card draw Shorikai offers can really help you dig, and it synergizes with untap effects.

My final idea would be something like Sauron, the Dark Lord, Grixis gives you a lot of control options, and Sauron makes you a big honking army very readily, and fwiw you can make an evasive Changeling (like Changeling Outcast) your Army in place of a token. Grixis struggles a bit vs certain types of permanents, but you can certainly pressure people and have input as to what stays around.

Oh yeah, just thought of a bad idea I've never gotten around to testing, but you might be able to build Optimus Prime, Hero  ^Flip with all the Jeskai wipes you can find? Optimus can 'survive' a wipe, so as long as you can give him Haste somehow you can swing each turn vs a cleared board, wiping whenever anyone gets anything relevant out. Would it be obnoxious? Incredibly so. But I think it could work, especially since you have Red for various good Haste sources. You probably need lots of things to protect Optimus from Swords effects, including a smattering of Blue counters that are either free or cost {U} so you can hold them up.

Taking a look at other people's ideas, I support Karazikar and Breena, both seem like great fits!

Blackerhawk on Affinity and what to cut

3 months ago

Hey nuperokaso , thanks for the input. Black mana was in the deck for the alternative equip cost of Cranial Plating, but Mistvault Bridge coming into play tapped does slow me down. I do have 4 Memnites and 4 Welding Jars in my collection, and could replace the remaining 2 Myr Enforcers with those. Or maybe instead of the Gingerbrute? Would you go Fling over Shrapnel Blast? As it can do a lot more damage with the Cranial Plating attached to a creature and with the Arcbound Ravager after he eats the rest of the crew...

I greatly appreciate your response and any other input is more than welcome.

The thought of swinging an unblocked 0/5 Coram, then Entomb-ing any big beater is pretty hilarious. Besides Brawn & Anger, I'm interested in if most Coram decks will use Voltron & anthem components to make commander damage consistently viable. Fling & Tainted Strike are also kinda cheeky options with the big beaters in these decks.
