Inspiring Call

Instant

Draw a card for each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it. Those creatures gain indestructible until end of turn. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them.)

NV_1980 on Urtet's Might V.3

This looks pretty cool but what it really misses now is momentum. Not in terms of mana-sources (in that sense this deck is top-of-the-line), but in your capability to draw more than one card per turn. Right now you have six cards in the deck that will allow you to draw/tutor for more stuff. Most EDH decks will aim for at least ten. Some ideas on this front:

• Distant Melody: draw based on the amount of Myrs you control; that's quite powerful!
• Inspiring Call: won't just protect your myrs from wipes, but will also generate draw based on all who were boosted by Urtet.
• Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain: with this many artifacts in your deck, she will guarantee plenty of additional draw.
• Kindred Discovery: by far the greatest draw-resource you could include in this artifact-tribe deck.
• Thirst for Knowledge: turns a dead-draw artifact into three new cards.
• Vedalken Archmage: same reasoning for inclusion as Jhoira.

Hope this works out!

MortisAngelus on Card draw when adding +1/+1 …

Thank you all again for all the awesome suggestions!

Last Laugh

I am well aware of all those "combat damage triggered" draws. But I want to not be restricted by combat damage. I already have Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar for that and was planning on complementing him with Bred for the Hunt. But now I am thinking of opting for Enduring Curiosity instead; why limit myself to drawing on combat with only +1/+1 counter creatures, and enduring curiosity also gives me another body to use an attacker.

But really, at this point, Toski, Bearer of Secrets is the best option.

Breena, the Demagogue is a very interesting card.

However, today I found a new (to me) card: Falco Spara, Pactweaver which essentially can capitalize on my collected counters.

@RiotRunner789

Thanks! But I dont think those cards fit my specific strategy.

=========

@Antsquisher

Yeah, but the angel is significantly better due to the evasion, and the additional synergy with Atraxa's lifelink.

Inspiring Call I feel like is the staple +1 counters matters card. It is literally reprinted in every deck now that cares about +1 counters. And yet I keep cutting it for spells.

Thanks to all of you again!

Two cards not mentioned above:

Exemplar of Light (same issue as Fathom Mage though)

Inspiring Call (kind of a one-time Danny Pink effect that can also save your creatures from Wrath of God style board wipes).

I would think about adding a few lands, usually Commander Decks will sit between 37-39. Your average mana cost is low, so 35 lands isn't too bad, but I think you should drop some of the lower power/lower cost cards and add a couple more synergy pieces or heavy hitters to close out the games. And try to find more useful lands with abilities, they really do some work in Commander.

Some cards you might want to think about replacing:

• Brave-Kin Duo

• Druid of the Spade

• Hazardroot Herbalist

• Intrepid Rabbit

• Loporrit Scout I recommended at first, but now I am wondering if its worth the slot.

• Burst of Strength

• Crumb and Get It

• High Stride

• Inspired Charge

• Predator's Strike

• Shelter

Suggestions:

• Hinterland Sanctifier

• Sol Ring Great for paying that commander tax after Finneas dies. Among other things!

• Case of the Gateway Express

• Claim Jumper

• Mirror Entity

• Adaptive Automaton

• Metallic Mimic

• Overrun

• Darksteel Plate

• Evolving Wilds Cards like this help fix your mana as well as thin out your deck. Less basic lands to draw later, if you are fetching them out of your deck. More likely to draw some heat!

• Terramorphic Expanse Same idea as Evolving Wilds.

• Escape Tunnel Yup, you guessed it! But also this has a neat second ability!

• Rogue's Passage

• Ghost Quarter

• Blighted Woodland

• Reliquary Tower

• Slippery Karst

• Tectonic Edge

• Tranquil Thicket

• Arcane Lighthouse

• Blossoming Sands

• Command Tower

• Graypelt Refuge

• Mystifying Maze

• Selesnya Sanctuary

• Sunpetal Grove

• Temple of Plenty

Agree with:

• Inspiring Call

• Shamanic Revelation

Thanks so much, Crow_Umbra and Tsukimi for the advice!

Yes, I found my way to EDHRec - it actually pushed my initial brew to over 120 spells and I really struggled trying to whittle it down.

I'm really into pure tribalism, in part for the challenge and in part for the aesthetic. If I have to include non-Elves to make it work, I'll probably just abandon the brew instead. I've never been big on Commander - it just doesn't resonate with me. I'd say there's at least a 50% chance I stop brewing in the format.

I did originally include Inspiring Call but I cut it in my final push to limit the deck to 100 spells. I chose to cut it because I didn't believe I had enough means of putting +1/+1 counters on creatures to generate reliable card advantage.

Always happy to help (:

Kodama of the West Tree was going to be my first suggestion as this card is bonkers, especially with a +1 counter theme. If you're looking to diversify the counters you generate, I am a big fan of Slippery Bogbonder as it can give your commander and other important pieces protection. In that vein Inspiring Call is great in any counter heavy deck. Cathars' Crusade would be an excellent fit with so many low mv creatures. With so many low mv creatures you may want to include some more card draw too.

Like Crow_Umbra mentioned, the life gain feels less synergistic so cards like Wellwisher and Oracle of Nectars don't do much for your deck. I find that outside of a dedicated lifegain shell effects like these are not very strong in EDH and there are better/more fun ways to interact with the table. Instead I'd recommend Craterhoof Behemoth, or some of it's less expensive cousins like Moonshaker Cavalry or even End-Raze Forerunners, Earthshaker Giant, etc. so you have a way to close out games with all of your elves.

If you want any more feedback just let me know

kamarupa on Budget +1/+1 Counter / Proliferate Deck

1 year ago

Thalia's Lieutenant and Champion of the Parish are just so good. Hard to beat the Human tribe when it comes to +1/+1 counters.

Luminarch Aspirant is pretty decent, too.

Tezzeret's Gambit is nice card draw with Proliferate. Especially nice that you don't really need blue at all if you can life with paying 2 life.

You can check out my deck Cocaine which is mono-white Human +1/+1 counter themed. I don't bother with Proliferate except Tezzeret's Gambit because the deck is so fast. I used to play a mono-green +1/+1 counter deck with Hardened Scales, Avatar of the Resolute, and Inspiring Call but I found my mono-white deck was just so much better - faster, cheaper removal, better protection/evasion. So ya, white is where it's at for +1/+1 counters!
