hyalopterouslemur on Bottom-up deck design

3 weeks ago

Technically, it's top, bottom, top, bottom, but that's harder to say.

Step 1: Create a deck concept, and choose a Commander. You can do either first, but you must do both before continuing.

Step 2: Nuts and bolts So this is your stuff you need: Removal/counterspells, draw, ramp, wipes, recursion, tutors, protection, and land destruction. Here we're looking for reasonable overlap with our deck concept, and with each other. Boundless Realms is not a ramp spell; it's a landfall enabler. Spread the Sickness is a proliferate spell that happens to kill a creature. Rhystic Study is a Stax piece, pretty much until an opponent plays a wincon.

Step 3: Themes So, these are the cards that make our deck unique. Again, look for overlap between your themes, and continue to look for overlap with your necessities; that's where infinite combos are born.

Step 4: Lands There really isn't much here. Like. if you're hating nonbasic lands with [card:Back to Basics]] or Ruination or the like, you should probably limit yourself to five nonbasic lands at most. On the flip side, if you're in four or five colors, maybe limit yourself to exact;y ten basic lands so you have something to play with if someone drops a Path to Exile or Assassin's Trophy or Boseiju, Who Endures. You can just use an algorithm to find your ideal land configuration for properly matched mana. And be aware, if you're in 3+ colors and playing mostly basics, something like Bolas's Citadel or March of the World Ooze or Twilight Shepherd or Garruk, Primal Hunter or Necropotence is unlikely to be hardcast.

Step 5: Testing and revisions The final step. Test your deck. Goldfish. Play it against friends. Make revisions where it's weak.

Does anyone else make decks like this?

rangab7 on Gilanda and Kodama's wild weekend

Heyo,

I also run a gilanra kodama list: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/gron-3/

It's not upto date (way more removal added in since). But I'll fix it today.

First note is that Three mana ramp is bad.

Add in dorks so you can get gilanra turn two/three and kodama turn four. You want kodama out early before people can start holding up mana for removal.

So cultivate effects can go for the other two mana ramp spells in green.

Secondly, generic stompy big creatures don't need to be there.

Terra Stomper, Treeshaker Chimera, Thrun, Breaker of Silence, Polukranos, World Eater, Gaea's Revenge.

If it costs a lot and all it does is swing, it's not the best effect.

Silverback Elder is better than Hivespine Wolverine

Oakhame Adversary is better than Deadly Recluse

Your enchantments are also pretty bad

Abundance, Assemble the Entmoot, Bonds of Mortality, Elemental Bond, Season of Growth, Sandwurm Convergence. Don't do enough.

Your garruk planeswalkers can. be replaced with Garruk, Primal Hunter.

IDK what your goals are with the deck. But prioritze low to the ground creatures that pair well with top end cards like Ohran Frostfang.

The deck is fun, so if you want that kitchen table ono green hitter deck. Take my changes with salt.

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

Jul 21, with Rich, Ella Marie, Neil, Joseph, Alan

Multani Beat Down Win, Selvala's Stampede was great 15-21-1.Garruk, Primal Hunter drew 32 cards, played Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, tapped for 13, cast Overwhelming Stampede for 62, had 5 creatures to attack five opponents. GAME OVER. Win percentage up to .417

NV_1980 +1 my good sir, I love reading your descriptions. It's evident that you spend a lot of time and love for each of your decks. I have some thoughts....

Return to Nature > naturalize - Strict upgrade

Elemental Bond > Garruk Packleader - Costs less and is an enchantment so it's much less likely to be removed and it's easier to cast

Nissa's Pilgrimage > Cultivate/Kodama - Strict upgrade

Primeval Bounty - First mode is the best, second is decent, third is not impactful. It has a high CMC and doesn't do much the turn it comes in. What has your experience been with it? Perhaps swapping it with something below could help....

Momentous Fall - Useful in response to removal. Sacrificing is additional cost to cast so watch out for the blue player. Alternatively, it's cousin, Life's Legacy might be worth considering. Return of the Wildspeaker also can act as draw or an overrun.

Green Sun's Zenith - While you do already run finale, some additional tutoring redundancy can't hurt.

Garruk, Primal Hunter - It's a soul's majesty that can make tokens to defend itself. Also adds devotion.

Dense Foliage - Not an entirely serious suggestion but worth mentioning, you usually target your creatures with abilities, not spells. Depends on the meta for sure. Could be useful to make someone burn a removal spell.

Greater Goodfoil - Best recommendation for your deck. Draws cards + virtual card advantage, acts as a sac outlet to prevent exile and theft (which apparently is a thing given your homeward path) and can be used in response to removal.

Shaman of Forgotten Ways - Nice little guy, not entirely serious but worth noting. It's ramp and an alt wincon.

Castle Garenbrig - Simple ramp

Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal in land form

Mirrorpool - Not a serious suggestion given your lack of nonbasics (which I think you can add some more). Imagine copying rishkar's, shamanic, beast within, etc.... not to mention any of your big dudes.

Turntimber, Serpentine Wood  Flip - Land when you need it, creature when you don't!

What else could be removed (In favor of Maybeboard)?

Profet93 on Xavier Sal, Infested Captain

SufferFromEDHD I'm sincerely honored you're asking for my opinion. Sadly, walkers, tokens and proliferation are not my strong suit. I will give you my thoughts for what it's worth. Some suggestions are better than others but I want to throw the best possible PW's I found for your strategy/what you're looking for...

Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury - The best PW for your deck IMO as it creates mana dork tokens to defend itself/proliferate, is naturalize and potentially even draw.

Garruk, Primal Hunter - Maybe not because of triple green in a 3 color deck. It makes tokens, draws cards and can create a potential army. Really depends on your mana base and how much of a payoff you believe you can achieve with it

Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip - Can potentially create a token upon death. Its trigger might be a bit difficult given your lack of creatures and the payoff is nothing crazy given it's a flip walker but potentially worth considering

Oko, the Ringleader - Seems solid. Fair mana cost, (virtual) card advantage, token generation to defend itself, and a strong ult that is easy to achieve.

Oko, Thief of Crowns - Only reason I mention is because of how broken he was in modern. Idk if it can hold it's weight in EDH but it can come down early and really mess with one guys commander centric deck.

Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools - Creates lots of tokens to defend itself, card advantage/sac outlet and a strong ult.

Vraska, Betrayal's Sting - Card advantage, proliferation, creature and removal/transformation. It's ult could be an alt wincon perhaps given proliferation?

The Ozolith - Would this card work for your deck?
