Hi Venum, thank you for checking in, and sorry for the delayed response. I was in the middle of a round of disc golf when you first commented lol.

I haven't built this deck IRL, as it's more of a theory craft. Tbh, I hadn't really thought about this deck in months lol. I do like your suggestions, and think Sneak Attack could fit right in; I use it in my Goro-Goro and Satoru deck for similar reasons. Impact Tremors effects paired with ETB Token generation is definitely a solid way to build this deck, I think I omitted some of those token generators since a couple of my other decks are more Token/Impact Tremors/Group Slug focused and I wanted to do something a bit different here.

Trailblazer's Boots are pretty solid, I've used them in past builds and some of my friends have used them for some of their Voltron Equipment builds before. I used to use Whispersilk Cloak in an early version of my Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck a few years ago, but the 5 total mana to cast and equip felt kinda clunky for me. There were also some past corner cases where I wanted to be able to target my own creature for certain effects. Personally, I like Brotherhood Regalia a bit more for a cheaper over all mana investment to cast and equip to a legendary creature. Ward 2 isn't Shroud, but in a lot of cases 2 additional mana for spot removal is enough to deflect attention away, especially in my primary play group.

Crow_Umbra on non-black commander search advice

1 month ago

Okay, maybe a couple more suggestions from my rotation, since you are still somewhat open to a bit of Black. The following options have Black in their color identity, but it is more so the secondary or even tertiary support color:

• Goro-Goro and Satoru - They're a blast to play and have a couple of different build paths, depending on your budget and whatnot. Their most popular build option utilizes Ninjutsu and smaller evasive/unblockable threats as Ninjutsu enablers. I went more all in on Haste, Dash, and Dragon support, so the deck is almost Mono Red with Blue and Black playing support. They're a bit over a dollar, and they're currently sitting at 205 on EDHRec.

• Szarel, Genesis Shepherd - The newest addition to my line up and another pre-con commander option. Out of the box, the World Shaper pre-con is probably one of the strongest and well built options out there, and doesn't need a whole lot of upgrading. Most people play Hearthhull, the Worldseed as their commander, since it was the "face" option for the deck (and is fairly strong). Given Szarel's wording, you can lean into Lands Matter, +1/+1 Counter, or Aristocrats/Sacrifice to various sliding scales, or even go for an Insect typal build. From playing him, he feels more like a +1/+1 counter commander that uses the other strats as additional value. Either way, both commander options lean much more heavily Green with Red and Black used for additional support. Szarel is currently sitting at 634 on EDHRec, and Hearthhull is at 184.

Your decks are always amazing Crow_Umbra, I enjoy reading them and this one doesn't disappoint either :)

Since you said in your description that "Remember to go fast, we're on a Time Limit", would it make sense to include stuff that would allow for the generation of more dragons via Goro-Goro and Satoru? I'm talking cards that could copy them (like Sakashima of a Thousand Faces) or maybe copy their triggered abilities (like Roaming Throne).

Cheers.

Hey.. that's pretty good! I've not built Goro-Goro and Satoru yet, so this might finally be the kicker. I appreciate the angle of how you've built this deck, and I think Crow_Umbra really nailed those recommendations. Otherwise, I've noted you have like.. NO instants in the deck, which is more of a playstyle difference rather than something I'd wanna critique. Your build is super cool, +1.

Crow_Umbra on WOTC announcement - All Commanders …

legendofa, I run both Goro-Goro and Satoru, & Ognis, the Dragon's Lash as commanders. I play G-G&S more as quick aggro/self-bouncing threats, & don't use any Ninjutsu.

Both decks share a few overlapping cards, but they could make for a fun partnership.

Just thought of Goro-Goro and Satoru + Ognis, the Dragon's Lash. Attack with haste, make treasures, ninjutsu down something scary, make dragons. Probably not going to pull it together, so I'll put the idea out there if anyone is looking for something fast and chaotic.

Thanks for the recommendations KayneMarco. I actually have 2 copies of Revel in Riches, but I have them in my Burakos and Vraska decks respectively as alt win-cons. I figured Revel in Riches might get a bit more mileage in those decks since their creatures are a bit on the smaller side. I definitely considered it for this deck, but opted for some of the X spells instead.

This deck is more so a quick successor to my old Windgrace deck (not really my playstyle after a few games) and my Prosper deck, so I threw it together with what I had on hand. Not sure if I'll keep this deck around for long term, since it has some overlap with my Goro-Goro and Satoru deck, in terms of wanting to play Haste-y stuff, and also has overlap with the aforementioned Burakos & Vraska decks with the Treasure synergy.

I don't currently own a copy of Old Gnawbone, and since I'm unsure if I'll keep this deck long-term, I'm not really sure I'd want to invest in a copy at the moment. Proxying is definitely an option in my play-group.

{UB}{RG} haste + ETB this turn + ninjas. Goro-Goro and Satoru, Ognis, the Dragon's Lash, Deathleaper, Terror Weapon, Samut, Vizier of Naktamun, Higure, the Still Wind... Kind of a legendary subtheme, there. The commander options are a partner set or Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder, unless {W} somehow finds a spot in there.
