ldvatwa on Aragorn, the Legend

We have similar builds! Mine is focused on multicolored Legendary Humans. Mine has an emphasis on creating human tokens and drawing to come back from field wipes. It's easily my most consistent deck. A few standouts that swing the board in my favor heavilyare: Fallaji Wayfarer hits all of Aragorn's abilities, but more importantly lets you reduce the cost of multicolored spells. Inga and Esika for making use of tokens to cast bigger spells and netting cards in the process. Kyler, Sigardian Emissary is the secondary commander and if it stays for more than two turns you typically have lethal. Tome of the Guildpact gets me back into and takes over so many games. I can't overstate how impactful drawing by simply casting half of your deck is. I hope these help. Check out my build if you get a chance. I already see some things in yours I want to try.

This seems a bit more like a multicolour human legends (of LotR) deck than a +1 counter / token deck. That's not a problem, it's a lot more fun to play, but it may help you tighten things up if you build more into this theme.

One of the obvious additions consider that is Relic of Legends, possibly Inga and Esika (though they're not LotR) and We Ride at Dawn. You're running a lot of high mana cards and it will help you get them down. Herald's Horn will really help with not only some card draw, but shaving off 1 of all your creatures will help you cast more, which triggers your commander. Heroes' Podium is similar but can be a little expensive (though will make all your creatures strong). Mirari's Wake is an old standard as well, mana doubling is just good.

Flowering of the White Tree is also good considering all your legendaries, but I see it's in your maybe board already.

You also have a lot of triggered abilities all over the place so Annie Joins Up would work very well, as would any other trigger multiplier.

Noire_Samhain on Our turn!!!?? Dork Tribal

Deathrite Shaman is another Mana dork you might like, albeit slightly more limited due to requiring lands in the grave (not too limited though if your playgroup all play some sort of fetchland including the casual ones). Inga and Esika can make everything not a mana dork as well, though for creatures only. Also provides card draw for casting creatures with mana dorks as well.

To answer your question in the description, you would draw a card first. Inga and Esika has you draw a card when Nulltread Gargantuan is cast, and Nulltread puts a card on top of your library when it enters the battlefield.

Inga and Esika is a cast trigger. It will go on the stack before Nulltread Gargantuan resolves.

So you draw a card first. Then Nulltread resolves, entering the battlefield.

Really enjoyed this list, especially Inga and Esika and Elven Chorus. I think I would take out Silvergill Douser for something else stronger. If you want more ideas, check out my Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca deck that I'm working on.

Rhadamanthus, I think I found the card already. Was it Cryptolith Rite by any chance? Because that's the one I found. There is also a few more cards. Took me some time to find a search term to narrow it down enough. The other cards are:

• Elven Chorus
• Esika, God of the Tree  ^Flip
• Inga and Esika

Which do you think is better? I feel like Elven Chorus is a little unnecessary as I already have Augur of Autumn in the deck. I don't know. I am just curious to get your opinion but it is fine if you don't have an answer.

Riveyn on Looking for Spice

So I have just made a first draft of an Inga and Esika deck and I would love to get some spicy options. Since Inga and Esika is not in English here yet, the text reads:

Creatures you control have vigilance and "{T}: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to cast a creature spell." Whenever you cast a creature spell, if three or more mana from creatures was spent to cast it, draw a card.

Slay

The basic premise is that I am casting creatures that create creature tokens to use as mana to cast other creatures and draw cards, then get big and stompy to swing out. Would love some suggestions!
