TriusMalarky on Force of negation/rage

2 weeks ago

I would say that Green is a lot too slow for this sort of thing. This is Modern -- your 3 drop should be winning the game. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but you should remember that.

Here's a quick decklist:

Prototype Decklist Show

4 Eternal Scourge

• Will be your best threat with cost reducers. or for a 3/3 is not bad.

4 Misthollow Griffin

• Prioritize exiling this with FoNe.

4 Squee, the Immortal

• Your best creature when you haven't gotten an engine or cost reducer set up.

4 Force of Negation

• Protect your Engines

4 Serum Powder

• Extra Mulligans, and you get to start with extra cards in hand. Activate it every time, because a hand with it in it is effectively one card less.

4 Relic of Progenitus

• Randomly beat Dredge, also helps you when setting up your engine.

4 Rest in Peace

• Just a better Relic.

4 Path to Exile

• Target your own creatures, you get ramp. Also a good removal spell.

4 Simian Spirit Guide

• Works with the theme of exiling, and helps you power out your engines.

4 Semblance Anvil

• Note that if you cast the Imprinted Squee or Scourge, it won't be usable anymore. However, it's a lot better than other things and you have the ability to get your creature back.

4 Mesmeric Orb

• Mill everybody.

That list needs some trimming, but it should function. Please note that you CAN NOT use a fetch-shock manabase, at least not a traditional one. You could exile your one copy of Hallowed Fountain with Serum Visions, and then if you need white and all you have is a Scalding Tarn.... you're screwed. You'll probably want a Fastland heavy manabase -- Spirebluff Canal, Seachrome Coast, Inspiring Vantage. Additionally, you might even consider Arcum's Astrolabe, but that's preference.

multimedia on Feather's Token Tantrum (~$200)

Hey, nice version of Feather.

If tokens is what you're going for than consider more cards that can pump all of them at once for bigger attacks: Anax and Cymede and Phalanx Tactics. Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin is a good attacker with pump spells and can be a repeatable source of lots of Goblin tokens.

You don't need 40 lands with Feather because one of the advantages is lots of low mana cost spells which means you can play less overall lands. Try 36 lands and the manabase could use a few more dual lands: Battlefield Forge, Rugged Prairie, Clifftop Retreat, Inspiring Vantage, Boros Garrison, Ash Barrens.

If playing Sunforger then also consider Mistveil Plains because it combos with it to be able to keep tutoring for and casting instants. One of the drawbacks of Sunforger is it's high equip cost which you have to pay each time you want to use it's activated ability to tutor. Magnetic Theft becomes very helpful as a repeatable way to equip Sunforger to a creature you control.

Aria of Flame is very good with Feather. It can build up verse counters quick and then every instant/sorcery you cast has lots of added damage to an opponent's face. I suggest adding more instants that draw as these cards are the engine for Feather: Defiant Strike, Psychotic Fury, Guided Strike.

Cards to consider cutting:

• 4x Plains
• Mortal's Ardor
• Battlewise Valor
• Grapeshot
• Burnished Hart

CaptainCautious on Jirina Kudro EDH Upgraded:Help & Advice Appreciate

Amazing, appreciate the advice! I have been very worried about the manabase... I am new to commander so pretty much got all the duals I could afford and threw them in there.

Allied colours just have so many more affordable duals but my early game, and deck in general, leans white. I have the same problem in my temur deck that leans blue but gruul lands are just much easier to come by on a budget.

Current thoughts are to lose a direfleet daredevil and offspring's revenge for 2 plains, then go from there.

Potential changes are:

Cut the Bojuka Bog although it's good graveyard hate

Cut the Castle Embereth and Castle Ardenvale although they are very on plan

Cut the Inspiring Vantage although it's one of my few duals with white in

Cut the Canyon Slough although it's got 2 land types

Cut the Dragonskull Summit although i can probably now fit enough basics to make it work, i probably want them all to be plains?

Possibly cut Spinerock Knoll and Windbrisk Heights?

Mana is hard.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look!

Oooh, good choice! I have some ideas of what you could do for her, however, I'll start off with the lands and mana base. Some of the suggestions are expensive, so if they are not within your budget I would consider using something else in the meantime, and then getting them later when you can.

Lands

• Temple of Triumph
• Sacred Foundry
• Clifftop Retreat
• Inspiring Vantage
• Battlefield Forge
• Sunbaked Canyon
• Arid Mesa
• Rugged Prairie
• {If you have a super budget) Plateau
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Gemstone Mine
• Forbidden Orchard
• Exotic Orchard
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• Strip Mine
• Hall of Heliod's Generosity
• Wasteland

• Command Tower

• Those lands I would definitely consider, though if you need some budget options I would use Boros Garrison, Stone Quarry, Wind-Scarred Crag, Boros Guildgate. Of course you can also use a lot of basics at the start, and slowly fill them in with the more expensive ones. Those are what I can think of off the top of my head, though if I think of more I will add them!

• Before I start on the ramp section, I was wondering if you wanted to focus on auras or equipment. If you pick one and make the deck completely around it, usually it ends up better and gives you more card options. However, using both could be an asset too! So let me know what you pick so I know how I can continue with suggestions if you still want help of course!

I really like the theme of your deck but you should think about updating the manabase. Implimenting some fetchlands (Bloodstained Mire is the cheapest in your colors) as well as some fastlands (ie Inspiring Vantage or Concealed Courtyard) can make your colors much more consistent, especially in the early turns where you need untapped mana of the right colors for your aggressive gameplan. additionally its usually nice to have a few (1-2 of each) basics so you have protection from Blood Moon and Path to Exile effects. Finally you probably want more than 21 lands if you plan to reach five mana every game without card draw effects. I hope some (or all) of this helps you :)
