Elnxida on Cost Reduction Cards

I've noticed a few* omissions, namely effects that let you pay an alternate cost - which can be less than the regular cost (Zombie creaturess: Rooftop Storm) or reduced by other effects (Samurai: Kentaro, the Smiling Cat).

*Yeah, so I decided to do a proper search and it bloated into more than a "few"... Sorry for the wall of text, but here you go!

You've already got Fist of Suns and Jodah, but here are some less ubiquitous ones:

Echo: Thick-Skinned Goblin

Next Spell (honorable mention?): Hardened Berserker, Saheeli, the Giftedfoil

Prepared: Uvilda, Dean of Perfection  Flip

Undaunted keyword: Durnan of the Yawning Portalfoil

Hmm... Cuts are difficult. From a glance, Mana-Charged Dragon , Bane of Bala Ged , Cheering Fanatic , or Hardened Berserker would be my suggestions. But it is tough, your current list is pretty tight! The cantripping Cleansing Wildfire could be replaced with like a Strip Mine , Opening up space for Crucible of Worlds possibly.

Hey, good start upgrading the precon on a budget.

28 lands is not enough land for an avg. CMC of 3.4 which is high. I recommend 36 lands and adding Knight of the White Orchid. First strike with a two drop Human is good with +2 pump from Jirina. You want to take more advantage of Jirina who's a four drop anthem effect for Humans. This means you want to consistently be able to play more impactful one drops (Champion of the Parish)/two drops (Thalia's Lieutenant)/three drops (Frontline Medic) to attack with the turn you play Jirina.

Tribal creature strategies in Commander fold to board wipes. To combat this play more repeatable instant speed indestructible protection (Etchings of the Chosen), creature recursion (Phyrexian Reclamation), reanimation (Alesha, Who Smiles at Death) and noncreature repeatable sources of Humans (Outlaws' Merriment).


Budget lands to consider adding:

Good luck with your deck.

Here ya go, Derrick,

Where is Gamble

Ramp or extra mana

Fellwar Stone , Fire Diamond , Marble Diamond , MindStone, Sword of the Animist , Thought Vessel , Hardened Berserker , Treasonous Ogre , Neheb, the Eternal , Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion Desperate Ritual , Pyretic Ritual , Seething Song ,

Target spells that are dope

Coordinated Assault , Enrage , Otherworldly Outburst is cool and you can loop it if the creature you buff dies making a token, Samut's Sprint , Titan's Strength , Accelerate , Aleatory , Chaotic Strike , Stun , Niveous Wisps , Carom , Formation gives banding which is spicy, Spiritualize , Stave Off , Bathe in Light , Feat of Resistance , Chaos Warp target tokens to get permanets from your deck for free, and is good removal.

Heroic/Prowess Creatures cuz value

Vanguard of Brimaz , Fabled Hero , Tethmos High Priest , Leonin Iconoclast , Arena Athlete , Akroan Line Breaker , Monastery Swiftspear , Soul-Scar Mage , Dragon-Style Twins ,

these are some cards I think you should look at, don't need all and some might not fit exactly but if you like them then put them in. Cut some lands you can go down to 34 if you add in more artifacts, which go great with paradox engine.

Cards I think you should replace: Emerge Unscathed rebound fucks with your commander it exiles them not letting you put them back into your hand; Aurelia's Fury really expensive to get any good use out of it, or if you want protection during your turns run Grand Abolisher or Silence ; Expose Evil is too slow of a draw engine Mentor of the Meek with the tokens you make is better for drawing; Burnished Hart and Solemn Simulacrum are meh, better to go with artifact ramp that can feed the paradox plan, plus artifact ramp is cheaper and faster; speaking of artifacts Boros Cluestone and Boros Keyrune are good flavor options but aren't that good as other artifacts; Inferno Titan and Sun Titan are good creatures but don't fit into the game plan as well better to put things that help with the gameplan.

nothing like flamerush, mostly just ~ attacks it gets (see Boros Elite)

Combat Celebrant is arguably a faster aurelia (combo on t4) but its much more fragile/blockable

Conduit of Storms  Flip, Hardened Berserker and Herald of War make things cheaper / mana

Knotvine Paladin has some potential as you can stack the triggers so your stuff is all untapped (similarly Xenagos, God of Revels, Sublime Archangel

Emzed on Alesha, who smiles at Commander

9 years ago

I played Alesha briefly myself, you can take a look at the list i built here.
If you want to remove more cards, Hardened Berserker, Boros Elite, Bloodsoaked Champion, Zurgo Bellstriker, Wojek Halberdiers, Griffin Dreamfinder, Act of Treason, Launch the Fleet and 1-2 basic lands would be my suggestions.
A few cards that allow you to sacrifice creatures for value would likely be useful, for example Goblin Bombardment, Blasting Station, Altar of Dementia, Grim Haruspex or Goblin Sharpshooter.
