Hallowed Fountain

Land — Plains Island

(: Add or .)

As this enters you may pay 2 life. If you don't, this enters tapped.

I like it! Verity Circle seems like a powerhouse here, maybe consider more copies to ensure it sees play. Aside from replacing inferior taplands like Tranquil Cove with something like Hallowed Fountainfoil or Flooded Strand, the mana curve and the sources you have available look decent enough. The lands I mentioned are quite pricey though, so if it’s more a budgetary concern then the ones you already have are suitable enough.

Venum,

In regards to your manabase, you still haven't answered what your budget is looking like. A manabase tends to be the most expensive (and important) part of any EDH deck. Does your playgroup allow proxies?

Side tangent - the upcoming set Edge of Eternities has recently teased the return of shock lands. Shock Lands are some of, if not the best lands in modern magic. With this upcoming reprint they will be more accessible than ever so I highly recommend you get them their prices lower, namely: Watery Grave, Breeding Pool, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountainfoil, Overgrown Tombfoil and Temple Gardenfoil.

You slightly misunderstood what I meant when I asked about your meta. Do you use the bracket system that was introduced by Wizards? Using that to describe your deck (or the one you wish to build) will make this process go over much more smoothly. Seeing that your Meta includes the infamous likes of Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow you are facing some very strong commanders that would likely have decks that would place them in Bracket 4 (using the aforementioned bracket system as a reference). But, and a very big but here - it depends on what kind of decks these commanders helm. Do they have big expensive manabases with lots of (monetary) expensive interaction cards? e.g. Mana Drain, Force of Will, Mana Vault

It seems here that you have a misunderstanding of infinite combos. The aforementioned combo of Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation are used almost exclusively in the alternate format known as Competitive EDH or cEDH. That is an essential combo for the format, and is expected to be part of a deck running . To you that may look like someone who just doesn't want to engage with other players - but to those who wield the combo in a game where other players are using similar strategies this is what everyone signed up for. Infinite combos are a staple of Magic and Commander. I understand that you are a person and you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. But please, have consistent logic here: Infinite Combos may be unpopular to some players, but for the love of Father Yawgmoth Poison is a FAR less popular mechanic in Commander.

Not saying you shouldn't use it - I for one embrace it. But using Poison will give you a distinct political disadvantage at just about every single table you show up to. Once the other players know, they will more than likely work together to tear apart your boardstate and shove you off the table.

Try this:

Replace 2x Hallowed Fountainfoil with 2x Breeding Poolfoil.

Replace 4x Misty Rainforest with 2x Flooded Strand and 2x Windswept Heath.

Replace 1x Island and 1x Plains with 2x Forest.

I know why you did what you did, but give my setup a shot for a few playtests.

The problem with your manabase is that it's quite scattered, even if the numbers seem to check out in the pie chart. You need lots of green pips, and lots of isolated pips in general, so you can't even out on fetches and shocks.

Draw forests more naturally. Get dorks online. Fetch pips you didn't draw. Minimize lands like Hallowed Fountain that can't pay for your multicolored spells in a deck with more than 2 colors. What I mean by that is, those are UW in your deck, so hallowed fountain sucks, since you're gonna need another land anyway to pay for multis, but you need green too. Possibly get rid of the fountains alltogether.

Hope this makes sense. Source: trust me xD

Cheers!

As a general rule of thumb, lands that enter tapped are worse than ones that don’t. Modern has a plethora of lands that enter play in a useable state, so there are plenty of better options than Valgavoth's Lair. They can be expensive though, so if Flooded Strand or Hallowed Fountainfoil are too costly, try something like Glacial Fortress or Hengegate Pathway  Flip or Seachrome Coast.

psionictemplar, and I heart-throbbingly hope it's a warhammer reference now that I think about it, I have so much to say!

  1. Thank you so much for all of this incredible feedback- I love to make sure that I lead and end interactions with gratitude. Your interactions just through the few times I've recognized your comments (there's a few now that I think about it) are always so thoughtful. I appreciate the care and insight with generous consideration for poise and respect to one another. You're a class act for that alone!

  2. Thank you so much for the insight with regards to Cascade- as I have stated in the description, it is one of my weakest deck-styles that I've tried. Storm and Cascade are just hard for me sometimes. This care and response has given me some insight I had not considered for deck construction, and I'm very grateful for that level of knowledge and education. So this'll be the first blurb where I address your recommendations; I completely and whole-heartedly agree that I will be adjusting not only the mana base to include at least one Hallowed Fountainfoil, but also to adjust some other pieces of my build. I am intent on creating another 100% competitive list.

  3. Bloodbraid Marauder is a cool card that I think helped me chain downwards and not lack in value, however I agree with your commentary that my list is sufficiently struggling to produce cards in grave, unless I shift my list and replace some pieces. I'm not sure how to precisely replace what Temur Devotee provides through Arena of Glory; spend from the Arena, cast Temur Devotee and immediately use the other from Arena to use the filter ability, effectively getting the color of mana that you wanted in the first place. Admittedly super bad when you say it out loud, and when you see it in function? It's.. not awful. But.. it's not really doing the most, as you've described.. I need to maximize the output. Normally that kind of concept is finely tuned and drilled into my brain, but with cascade for some reason I tend to be so laise-faire. Thank you for calling me out on that! I appreciate anyone who can challenge my pre-conceived notions about the best way to do something.

  4. Force of Negation was in fact the card I should have chosen.. no discussion there, I was out of practice on that. Thanks for the tip!

  5. I don't really have definitive promised changes for what I'll do, but the update tab is about to get thicc. We'll talk soon, I'm sure!

I like to think I'm open and reasonable, and I now see the advantage with both Hallowed Fountainfoil and Flooded Strand over what I had before. I always have to remind myself that life is a resource as well. This deck is based on speed, and getting what you need out fast.
