Ok I will take out Zulaport Cutthroat and Ichor Explosion for the combo

I cannot stress this enough: take this out Ichor Explosion and put this in Terminus (or Wrath of God or Damnation or Decree of Pain, anything more efficient. Actually, these are the TOP PRIORITY: Merciless Eviction and Supreme Verdict. Mass-removal is good anytime.

MagicalHacker on Official MagicalHacker Commander List Update …

6 years ago

Welcome, fellow planeswalkers, to the Official MagicalHacker Commander List Update (OMCLU) for Hour of Devastation!

If you are not aware, I have had lists for commander staple effects for a very long time now, and I have been updating them as new sets are released. Rather than showcasing individual cards that are being used, I instead use these lists to show all cards in categories that have proven to be advantageous to have in Commander. More specifically, these categories of staples are ones that answer certain problems a deck could be experiencing, such as having a hard time against control, not being able to play cards in hand quickly enough, or dealing with problematic commanders. (They can be found on my profile.)

The purpose of this thread is three-fold:

1. To raise public awareness for these lists (which I know to be extremely useful since I use them more than literally any other resource online when building decks).

2. To receive feedback about HOU cards that should be added/removed from lists.

3. To receive feedback about older cards that should be added/removed from lists.

Hour of Devastation is now up on Gatherer, so its now time to go through the process of updating my decks!
