Hey, consider Sol Ring ? It's a staple mana rock in Commander. Consider less Swamps and more Golgari dual lands? Green mana is much more important than black. 11 Swamps really reduces the consistency of having a green source turn one for a green one drop mana dork. You don't want to draw all Swamps and no Forests.

You can speed up game play and help color fixing by adding more dual lands that can ETB untapped:

• Llanowar Wastes
• Undergrowth Stadium
• Overgrown Tomb
• Nurturing Peatland
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Verdant Catacombs : gets Overgrown Tomb .
• Windswept Heath : gets Overgrown Tomb .
• Darkbore Pathway  ^Flip
• Unclaimed Territory

Others:

• Twilight Mire
• Woodland Cemetery
• Reflecting Pool
• Blooming Marsh
• Tainted Wood

Several of these lands could replace lands that always ETB tapped: Foul Orchard , Golgari Guildgate , Jungle Hollow , Golgari Rot Farm . Elves of Deep Shadow is very helpful since can make black mana. Deathrite Shaman if playing multiplayer since can exile lands from opponents graveyards.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, nice upgrades to the precon.

Green mana is much more important than black mana with Elves. Having an equal amount of Forests and Swamps can be problematic since you could draw all Swamps and no Forests which will be difficult to cast Elves. Elves of Deep Shadow is a helpful one drop mana Elf because can make black mana. Elvish Harbinger is an Elf tutor and can make black mana. Consider cutting some Swamps for more Golgari dual lands?

• Llanowar Wastes
• Undergrowth Stadium
• Overgrown Tomb
• Unclaimed Territory
• Nurturing Peatland
• Twilight Mire
• Woodland Cemetery
• Blooming Marsh
• Tainted Wood
• Path of Ancestry
• Golgari Rot Farm

I would add Golgari Rot Farm , Dimir Aqueduct , and Simic Growth Chamber . They really go off hard on synergy with Peregrine Drake and Cloud of Faeries .

Have you considered adding Strip Mine ? With Crucible of Worlds or Lord Windgrace's second ability you can destroy an opponent's land each turn.

With a Fastbond you can play any number of lands each turn, then add Jaddi Offshoot to neutralize the negative effects of Fastbond. Add in any combination of Bounce lands including, but not limited to, Golgari Rot Farm and Dormant Volcano and you have an infinite combo you can stop at any time. If you go this route I'd suggest adding Amulet of Vigor .

Happy Hunting!

cool deck!
might recommend some tapped dual lands like Golgari Rot Farm and Jungle Hollow , and others to smooth out your mana base.
also Merciless Executioner seems good.
cheers

I most certainly can! Archelos is super cool and can really warp a landbase, as now you can include so many tap lands that normally aren't too powerful, not only giving you that sort of ability but also making the land base WAY cheaper! You also have to think about the lands BEFORE you put our Archelos though, and so I'd say a balance between better lands and tap lands are what you probably want to head towards. What you have so far looks wonderful, and certainly efficient, though again, you may want to include one cycle of a certain land, maybe Breeding Pool, Overgrown Tomb, and Watery Grave? These guys can help get Archelos out, but after he's out you won't necessarily have to take the shock damage from them which I'd say deserves them a good spot in the deck. Other ones that aren't necessary but could be worth considering are Hinterland Harbor, Woodland Cemetery, and Drowned Catacomb, since again they can come in untapped with Archelos and still be relatively good without him, and of course the bounce lands Simic Growth Chamber, Golgari Rot Farm, and Dimir Aqueduct, since they can get pretty powerful when they come in untapped. Since you have Fabled Passage, Evolving Wilds, and Terramorphic Expanse I'd say it's worth it to slot in a Ramunap Excavator or Crucible of Worlds, since you'd then get two landfall triggers per turn guaranteed, since you can continuously play the sac lands again and again. If this trick proves to be very helpful, you may want to consider slotting in more fetch lands like Prismatic Vista, Misty Rainforest, Verdant Catacombs, Polluted Delta, etc. Speaking of landfall triggers, I think Myriad Landscape would work AMAZING with Archelos, as not only would the Myriad come in untapped, but so would what it searches for, giving you three landfall triggers just off of that one card if you have two mana to spare. So honestly, I don't have too much to say about the lands, I think it's pretty solid at the moment though you may need to playtest a lot to know for sure, however, I did find a bunch of great cards that could work well with Archelos!

• Amulet of Vigor: If Archelos isn't out yet and you have a ton of tap lands, this guy could be of great use, especially for just a single mana.
• Root Maze: SUPER amazing card, this guy can tax everyone but you! On your upkeep untap archelos, have everything come in untapped, then tap him before your next turn and boom now everyone's artiafcts and lands come into played tapped for one mana besides yours.
• Coldsteel Heart: Basically a 2 mana, untapped mana rock with Archelos
• Cryptolith Fragment  ^Flip: This guy can perform your goal of whittling away peoples health, as well as coming in untapped with Archelos. The flip side can also perform that whittling quite efficiently.
• Manascape Refractor: Comes in untapped- could be pretty fun to see how that works out!
• Arcane Signet: You should run this no matter what
• Orb of Dreams: Similar power and ability to root maze mentioned above, this can tax everyone else except you with Archelos
• Renegade Map: Basically 1 mana get a basic land if you have Archelos out
• Sphere of the Suns: Great with Archelos out and coming in untapped
• Terrarion: Seems pretty solid if it doesn't come in untapped
• Worn Powerstone: Like the rest, pretty sweet if it doesn't come in tapped and can be immediately used.
• Moss Diamond/Charcoal Diamond/Sky Diamond: Untapped ability again
• Honor-Worn Shaku: Allows you to tap archelos and get something out of it
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth: It's amazing why not run it
• Retreat to Hagra: Can be a great way of slowly ruining your opponent's health, especially with the extra land triggers I mentioned before
• Stasis: If you already have the things you need to slowly remove your opponents health, this can pretty much ensure victory.
• Verity Circle: SUPER amazing if I'm understanding it correctly, basically whenever your opponents play a creature since it comes in tapped with Archelos you draw a card, and has the second ability if you are ever in need of it
• A great way to slowly get rid of your opponents health is with recurring triggers that happen every turn, such as curses. Here are some that I found: Trespasser's Curse, Torment of Scarabs, Cruel Reality, Curse of Thirst, and Curse of Fool's Wisdom
• ANY COMBO WITH RETREAT TO CORALHELM. Edhrec names 1000+ combos with this card, so I'd recommend looking through it and seeing if you find anything that would work if you haven't already!

That's all I have, sorry it probably wasn't too much regarding the lands, but I hope I gave you some good stuff to think about! I honestly love the deck it has a super cool theme, and seems like it could work very well! That said though, hope this helps, and have a wonderful day!

Hey! This is Phunlife from the [email protected] server. Just thought I'd give you some suggestions, since TortEx is my 2nd favorite Pauper deck. I'm gonna get nitpicky, be warned.

I see you're pretty keen on shutting down Tron with the 3 Thoughtpicker Witch, Mesmeric Fiend, and Burglar Rat. I see where your mind is, since Tron is one of TE's worst matchups.

I don't like Cast Down as it's not a creature and thus, not repeatable. All the other spells the mainboard are fine except those and maybe Gnaw to the Bone.

I also think your manabase needs some work. If you live in the US, I have two more Jungle Hollows I could send you. You reaaaaaalllyyyy want to be tapping for one black mana at a time in order to activate TE, and if you don't have the versatility in your manabase, you're done for. In my experience you don't want to be playing more than 2 Golgari Rot Farms, since tapping for BG is always awkward with TE. I play 2 in my list, but that's because I have a bit of a higher curve.

Hey, good budget version of Muldrotha.

Mystic Remora, Kaya's Ghostform, Siren Stormtamer, Crop Rotation are one drops to consider adding. These cards provide good value for only one mana. Muldrotha enchanted by Ghostform makes it difficult for your opponents to remove since it doesn't even go back to Command Zone when it dies or exiled.

Exotic Orchard, Llanowar Wastes, Yavimaya Coast, Sunken Hollow, Tainted Wood, Ash Barrens, Simic Growth Chamber, Golgari Rot Farm, Dimir Aqueduct are budget land upgrades to consider.

---

Cards to consider cutting:

• Dismal Backwater
• Jungle Hollow
• Jwar Isle Refuge
• Thornwood Falls
• Traveler's Amulet
• Aligned Hedron Network
• Levitation
• Brawn

Good luck with your deck.
