Trickster318 on Which commander should I use …

5 months ago

FormOverFunction: Ooo, Mirror Match looks very thematic and I think it'll find a home in this deck. I'm at the point where I found too many creatures and I'm having to make cuts for the mana base

legendofa: I am committed to mono blue for this one, and even if I wanted to grab another color, it'd be white for more illusions (I think). Blue has interaction down to a T and I can use things like Throne of Eldraine or Gauntlet of Power to address ramp issues.

Inferno wants lots of color ramp so you can slam it down and activate its ability to do a quick 20. Treasure generation, Caged Sun, Glittering Stockpile, Extraplanar Lens, Gauntlet of Power, even Chaos Moon

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse - Offsets commander lifeloss, great against blue/draw decks. Deathtouch is nice. Synergy with Peer into the Abyss (which also goes well with underworld dreams).

MAYBE Heartstone? - I'm unsure if this works with your commander only if he's a creature or even if he's just an enchantment.

Cabal Coffers - Ramp. Cabal Stronghold is more budget.

Deserted Temple - Untap coffers + politics

MAYBE Rings of Brighthearth - Copy commander ability without paying life. Also Coffers + Deserted temple + rings = {INFINITY}{B}. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - Makes you need less swamps but is not budget (or needed, but helpful).

Imp's Mischief - "Counter" counterspells while redirecting targeted removal, extra turns and draw.

Necropotence - Draw

I am unsure what your wincon is, beatdown? You lose a lot of life with your commander's ability. Perhaps a The Meathook Massacre could help as a wipe + lifegain effect?

Diabolic Tutor/Beseech the Queen/Beseech the Mirror. Tutors are black's biggest strength, utilize it for consistency.

Alhammarret's Archive - Extra draw

Black's 3rd biggest strength is massive mana. Aside from coffers, Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, Caged Sun, Gauntlet of Power

Once you determine your wincon, you can start to mold the deck to achieving that goal.

EDIT: Removed the non-budget options

Profet93 specifically Gauntlet of Power with opposing basic swamps as my meta has many folks running mostly basics. And from what I understand, would means basics other than swamps also would get the added doubling if tapped for black mana with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth out. I believe I am understanding that correctly?

Thanks for the suggestions capwner. Tutors are always helpful and of the two, Increasing Ambition could be a good fit since the 5 drop slot is slim and could be a great outlet for mana.

As for the omission of Gauntlet of Power, the idea is keeping mana doubling to my side of the battlefield and since going wide is not a part of the strategy, it is often more harmful than helpful. Extraplanar Lens on the other hand is closer to an include, though with as many non-swamp lands as the deck I have not given it a try yet.

Very sweet and well put together list. Absolutely love it. Only thing I could think of is maybe running more tutors, such as Grim Tutor, and I personally am a fan of Increasing Ambition especially when on swamp synergy. Speaking of which I'm guessing you're aware of Extraplanar Lens and Gauntlet of Power and have specific reasons for avoiding these... Very cool deck +1

New Unesh Card Printed in Wilds of Eldraine

Virtue of Knowledge to replace Gauntlet of Power. Pros of virtue of knowledge:

• 2nd copy of Panharmonicon
• Same CMC as Gauntlet of power, but has a devotion to blue. It benefits from Defiler of Dreams & Sapphire Medallion.
• The effects are 1-sided. They only benefit you, not your opponents.
• Still Combos with Palinchron.
• Adventure modality. Can be used to copy fetch ability early game. Can be used as a one time mana stimulus with Frantic Search, Snap, Palinchron. This is modality not even Panharmonicon has.
• Triggers when ANY permanent enters the battlefield, not simply creatures and artifacts. This deck doesn't make great use of this text, but it could more so in the future maybe. Mystic Sanctuary is the only additional card that benefits in this deck right now.
• Pitchable to cards like Force of Will.

Notable Cons:

• Isn't targetable by Scholar of the Lost Trove
