TypicalTimmy on Where do you personally draw …

My general strategy is to have more spells than the table has removal. I don't worry about one or two people holding up a counterspell or a path to exile. Similarly, I tend to not worry about their plays either.

I get my stuff out faster than the rest of the table, then overwhelm with a force they can't hope to stop.

This tends to make all of my decks very heavily reliant on combat damage and combat tricks, but there are ways to mix that up. In my aforementioned Lathliss deck, I have a bit of cruel control such as with Mudslide and Citadel of Pain, as well as Blood Moon and some others.

Then I passively create damage via Chandra, Awakened Inferno, Impact Tremors, Dragon Tempest, Warstorm Surge, Scourge of Valkas, Terror of the Peaks, Purphoros, God of the Forge and more. Also Sarkhan the Masterless

Ramp, I've got Mana Crypt, Ancient Tomb, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Mox Amber, Chrome Mox, Mox Tantalite, Mox Diamond and other staples.

Even cost reduction via Ruby Medallion, cloudkey, Urza's Incubator, Herald's Horn, Dragonlord's Servant and Dragonspeaker Shaman.

I can cheat via Sunbird's Invocation, Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast and Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded - who also serves as a haste enabler on top of like the six other haste enablers in the deck. Oh and Spinerock Knoll.

It even has recursion. For example, Haven of the Spirit Dragon, Vesuva and Thespian's Stage.

...it's like a $1,000 deck... For a $4 Commander, lol

As much as I F** LOVE Impact Tremors, First Day of Class might be better for you here. I personally would start by trying something wacky like -3 Fireball and +3 First Day, or maybe 2 and 2.

I feel like there should be at least a couple Impact Tremors in here, maybe more. What do you think?

Or maybe First Day of Class instead?

Hey, I should get some kind of sales commission ;)

I like the changes, good job, but how is gameplay? I ask because the mana curve is a little high at 3.7. Impact Tremors is a two drop win condition with indestructible Vron + Scourge of Valkas/Dragon Tempest/Goblin Bombardment/Terror of the Peaks, etc.

multimedia on Fort Burn

Hey, interesting budget version of Kykar.

Lots of burn here doesn't have enough oomph when each opponent will have 40 or more life. Glacial Ray, Magma Spray, Lightning Helix and other single effect burn spells like this are subpar in multiplayer Commander. Flame Rift doesn't do enough, hitting all players for 4 damage a single time is not worth a card. Even being able to flashback these spells with Backdraft Hellkite isn't good enough because they're only doing damage to one player. Some advice is research Torbran, Thane of Red Fell burn decks and mimic the burn strategy with Kykar?

Impact Tremors and Zo-Zu the Punisher are good, it's the kind of repeatable burn you want in multiplayer Commander. Consider more repeatable burn sources?

• Manabarbs
• Burning Earth
• Guttersnipe

Barbs and Earth seem like very good repeatable burn sources with Kykar since have lots of mana rocks (could have more), Spirits can make red mana and playing lots of basic lands. Tremors and Goblin Bombardment want an infinite combo for they're burn that can create infinite tokens with Kykar or Saheeli, Sublime Artificer.

• Mana Geyser + Reiterate

By adding this budget combo you add some more competitiveness to your deck and Guttersnipe is another burn win condition with the combo. You can't do this combo if you control Spellshock. But with Jeskai you have many options that can bounce/tuck/destroy an enchantment before comboing while still keeping it in your control to burn your opponents until you want to combo.

• Aura of Silence or Seal of Cleansing
• Chaos Warp
• Wear / Tear

---

• Shared Animosity
• Blind Obedience
• Ghostly Prison

What Kykar provides for a burn strategy is extra damage from attacking with fliers, 1/1 Spirits and Kykar. Animosity can make Spirits more of attacking threats and with a lot of them a win condition. Consider increasing the fort with Obedience and Prison? Obedience can also be a nice source of repeatable life gain with extort since you gain life each time equal to the number of opponents you have.

Consider adding more draw as well as more mana efficient draw to expand on spellslinger?

• Skullclamp
• Bident of Thassa
• Tandem Lookout
• Brainstorm
• Preordain
• Ponder
• Faithless Looting

Tandem Lookout when soulbond to a creature who can do damage to an opponent or all opponents you draw cards. Use this interaction with Guttersnipe since when he does damage you draw a number of cards equal to the number of opponents you have. Zo-Zu the Punisher is also good with Lookout because all players can play lands including yourself to draw. Lookout can change who it's soulbond to which is really helpful to first soulbond with flying Kykar or a Spirit and then change when a creature ETB who can do damage to opponents.

---

Some cards to consider cutting:

• Fog Bank
• Essence Backlash
• Boros Fury-Shield
• Glacial Ray
• Magma Spray
• Momentary Blink
• Lightning Helix
• Faith's Shield
• Flame Rift
• Ionize
• Not Forgotten
• Martyr's Cause
• Backdraft Hellkite

Good luck with your deck.

Phule451 on Food Fight!

Hot Soup I see is in the maybe board, fits both the food theme and doing damage to self. Impact Tremors is another tool in the damage on ETB plan. Syr Konrad, the Grim can also drain opponents when your or their stuff dies. You really need more ramp here to get yourself in a position to cast all your stuff. Also, you should improve your mana base, at least toss in a Command Tower

Stardragon on Feisty Gruul Mother

Crucible of Fire, Obelisk of Urd,Vanquisher's Banner or Jugan, the Rising Star to buff your dragons and give you more card draw, Gruul War Chant or Goblin War Drums to give them even more evasion Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors and Warstorm Surge for more ETB Burning, Balefire Dragon for massive field clearing potential (the bigger it get the damage it to the field) Moonveil Dragon for a field firebreathing effect, Dragon Broodmother for big tokens, while not dragons Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion and Neheb, the Eternal both ramp you very well, Ryusei, the Falling Star, Star of Extinction, Savage Twister, Starstorm and Blasphemous Act for board wipes. Red rituals like Pyretic Ritual, Seething Song, Mana Geyser or Battle Hymn quick mana and Braid of Fire for steady ever increasing mana. Can't go wrong with the Bird duo of Birds of Paradise and Gilded Goose for mana nor is Archetype of Endurance bad for protection Gratuitous Violence and Fiendish Duo are both one sided Furnace of Rath. Fervor or Fires of Yavimaya make dragons hasty, and Glorybringer and Combat Celebrant can be massive boon and if you Seedborn Muse you can alway have them untapped as exerted creatures only don't untapp during your phase but since seedborn untaps during opponents turns they also untap so you can get 4 free damage and an extra combat step ever turn. Savage Beating + Spellbinder can give free extra combat and if you use this combo the entwine also happens so you get both Savage Beating's effect's each time it goes off.

rwn1971 I don’t include Rhythm of the Wild because it doesn’t give tokens haste. The blue counterplay is nice, but I prefer shusher because it can make anything uncounterable. Impact Tremors seems nice, I haven’t tried it out. My board tends to get decently wide, but not enough to kill someone through pinging for 1 usually, unless I have Scute Swarm. Terror does that way faster, and is slightly harder to remove. Purphoros, God of the Forge is another that seems really good, I just don’t have a copy. I like how hard he is to remove.
