Uril Test Deck jtneal92
2 days ago
I'm not sure how fast you usually end games, but I love Field of the Dead in my Voltron decks, it's ability to generate blockers is usually very relevant by the time it's active. It's best in a Green deck, where you often run land ramp effects over stuff like Arcane Signet, but technically if you fetch Jetmir's Garden it'll still enter tapped, and Signet doesn't, I just hate stuff like Vandalblast wiping me out, they price the effect so low. Anyways, if you wanted to run Field of the Dead, you would probably switch out 1 of each Basic for a Snow-Covered version (you'd only need 3, so it's not a big investment), these have a different name and can help turn on Field! Other things that might help Field work are Crop Rotation, since you run Ancient Tomb (and Sanctum!) I think this is a must anyways, Open the Way is a truly great ramp effect, Farseek is another spell that can find a typed dual or tri, the only thing it can't find is a Basic forest, which is usually fine when you've already got Green in my experience. Considering you're using some pretty strong lands I would consider Hour of Promise, it's a Primeval Titan trigger for less mana, but you just get the one. With lands this good getting two of them should give you a pretty big edge. Into the North can find a Snow land, which would help in a Field of the Dead deck. I suspect with a 5 mana Commander your deck will run smoother if you could find space for a few more lands, up to you obviously but I do suggest a few lands you could consider. At the same time I'd also toss in a few more ramp effects, Green has some good ones, ones that survive the board wipes people will be tutoring up vs a deck like this!
If you're on Serra Sanctum, I feel like mentioning a few cards I like to use with it, to eek out a bit more value. Ruin Ghost can flicker it and generate a bunch of mana, as can Nature's Chosen (which is even an Enchantment!), you might even look at Deserted Temple (probably the worst option all told). Kessig Wolf Run is a card I don't run with Sanctum (I don't have Red i that deck), but plays very well with large amounts of mana, and if you're stuck playing vs a guy that keeps wiping your board. I'm always impressed by it's ability to generate a threat from a weenie, I imagine it'll be more effective with your Commander. Normally I run Wolf Run as much for Trample as the buff, but you do have a lot of Trample sources in here.
Oh yeah, I just remembered a weird trick I like to use in a Boros deck (it was desperate for card draw and I didn't want to spend even more), I settled on using Crown of Flames and Flickering Ward as auras that I could recast over and over. You could also use Whip Silk if you wanted, but the only one of those that seems worth the include in a deck this competitive is Ward, which can make you very hard to block vs some boards, but I think you'd mostly have it to trigger your Enchantress cards.

Snowbrawling ((MODERN // Competitive Sultai Snow))
6 months ago
legendofa The manabase generally feels pretty good, sometimes I am unhappy to see a tap land as it can effectively mean losing a turn, but the main concerns I've found are color fixing and maintaining snow perm count, where falling short could mean losing out on several plays or interactions. I cut a Scrying Sheets because of this, might cut Mouth of Ronom too but I like being able to toolbox with Into the North a bit. It was hard for me to add the Breeding Pool+Watery Grave because of snow count but I think it's necessary to be able to find untapped colors with Lorien. It would be nice to run 4 Lorien but the list was getting tight and I wanted to keep at least 3 ofs for some key sideboard cards. The deck does have a lot of 4 drops but 4 of those are Subtlety which is a flexible card and I think a real necessity in this meta. The deck feels like it curves pretty well, you are likely to have at least a couple 1 and 2 drops and the ability to either Blizzard Brawl or Dead of Winter or Subtlety or flash Ice-Fang Coatl to stall the board until your big 4 drops can hit. Or Force of Negation/Subtlety/Commandeer vs THOSE decks. Turn 2 Into the North feels really good, curves into 5/5 Treefolk or Coatl/Brawl with no land drop. I wish it was snow then I would run more. I think in a lot of matchups it ultimately comes down to who can out attrition the other, and the snow scry mechanic REALLY helps with that. Vs Yawgmoth I can aggro/tempo them out with Treefolk and Subtlety, vs Murktide I'm running them out of removal, clearing with Dead of Winter and when the game is stalled Avalanche Caller or a 7/7 Treefolk ends it. I haven't had a Rhinos match come up yet but the plan is to simply outmatch and outcontrol their board with Treefolk + killing/commandeering the rhinos. I'll likely update the description with some more specific matchup and card selection info over the next couple weeks! Thanks for the feed

Hi Meklow, yes you are right. In the list I've not update the basic lands with the snow versions. Of copurse, if you put Into the North you have to replace basic with snow basic to use it like Rampant Growth. I will update the list. Thx!

Omnath, Locus of Douchebaggery

Another suggestion I had in mind was to split your basics between regular basics and Snow-Covered basics, to make it easier for Field of the Dead to trigger (with the added benefit of running Into the North as another spell to ramp into Omnath, Locus of Creation).

Forgot to mention Alms Collector and Esper Sentinel.
In terms of ramp, I like to use Farseek, Three Visits, Nature's Lore and if I have enough snow lands Into the North.

Forgot to say what to take out for the three cards above: Green Sun's Twilight, Hull Breach, Lukka, Bound to Ruin. The Twilight is unrealiable until you spend a lot of mana into it. The Breach is sorcery-speed. The planeswalker does not do much here.
Now some small upgrades you can make:
-
Assassin's Trophy and Tear Asunder are more versatile than Artifact Mutation and Putrefy.
-
If graveyard decks are rampant on your playgroup, Baleful Mastery works better than Terminate.
-
If you run fetchable lands (Ziatora's Proving Ground, Blood Crypt, Stomping Ground, Overgrown Tomb, Canyon Slough, Woodland Chasm, Sulfurous Mire, Highland Forest, Haunted Mire, Geothermal Bog, Wooded Ridgeline), consider running Three Visits, Farseek, Into the North and Skyshroud Claim instead of Sakura-Tribe Elder, Rampant Growth, Explosive Vegetation and Thran Dynamo.
-
Since you run Crux of Fate, it might be better not depend on non-dragon creature ramp: Courser of Kruphix, Shaman of Forgotten Ways and Solemn Simulacrum could instead be Scaled Nurturer, Fellwar Stone and Coalition Relic.
-
Garruk, Primal Hunter and Return of the Wildspeaker draw way more cards than Read the Bones and Dragonmaster Outcast (this last one is too slow to get going).
-
You probably want to run Ash Barrens, Blighted Woodland and Myriad Landscape for more fixing and ramp. Exotic Orchard and Secluded Courtyard wouldn't hurt, either.

Ur dragon, need recommendations
1 year ago
Hello! I saw your deck help tag and wanted to give some insight.
I don't run Miirym as commander, but I do have her in the 99 in Smashing Faces with the Ur-Dragon, and she always pushes me to victory whenever she's allowed to stick on the battlefield.
Some areas you might want to change to improve your consistency:
1 - Ramp
- Farseek and Fellwar Stone are great for fixing for multiple colors of mana. You might take out Birds of Paradise (dies so easily), Sakura-Tribe Elder (fixes for only one color) and Sword of Once and Future (no synergy with dragons) for them.
- Skyshroud Claim is great for the same reasons above. Frontier Siege never impressed me in a multicolor deck, because I often need colors outside of .
- If you run the suggestions above, you probably need more fetchable dual lands: Ketria Triome, Breeding Pool, Steam Vents, Stomping Ground, Sheltered Thicket, Wooded Ridgeline.
- If you run Into the North, you can also use Highland Forest, Rimewood Falls, Volatile Fjord and some snow basics (Snow-Covered Forest, Snow-Covered Island, Snow-Covered Mountain) to fetch.
2 - Draw/Haste
- It is tough to cast Tribute to the World Tree in a 3-color deck without Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth or Chromatic Lantern on the battlefield. Maybe you want Temur Ascendancy instead.
3 - Removal/Boardwipes
- Chain Reaction cleans your own dragons. Curse of the Swine should get rid of your opponents' most problematic creatures. If you face a lot of token decks, Surtland Frostpyre is a boardwipe on a land that leaves most of your dragons alive.
- Green Sun's Twilight could be Chaos Warp as a second Beast Within.
4 - Protection
- In my dragons deck, I often want protection and haste for more than one creature. Swiftfoot Boots got swapped out for Asceticism.
- Slip Out the Back could instead be Heroic Intervention (it has good synergy with Blasphemous Act).
- If you don't want to be attacked, Propaganda might deter more attackers than Fog.
- Can you cast Counterspell and Bane's Contingency reliably? Swan Song or Arcane Denial might be easier to cast considering your manabase.
5 - Card draw
- Rishkar's Expertise, Garruk, Primal Hunter and Return of the Wildspeaker are the cream of the crop of green card draw. You might want to remove Blur, Essence Flux and Ghostly Flicker for them. (Instead of running flicker effects to save your creatures, it might be better to just run more threats in case they are dealt with - and card draw helps with that.)
6 - Better threats
- Dragon Broodmother creates tokens at a much faster pace than Dragonmaster Outcast.
- Korlessa, Scale Singer never impressed me. Knollspine Dragon is way better at drawing cards.
- Overwhelming Stampede wins games harder than Thundermaw Hellkite.
- I would take out Flameblast Dragon for Utvara Hellkite.
7 - Some utility lands you might want to run
- Exotic Orchard, Unclaimed Territory and Secluded Courtyard fix your colors.
- Haven of the Spirit Dragon fixes your colors and bring Dragons back from the dead.
- Littjara Mirrorlake clones one of your Dragons.
- Blighted Woodland and Myriad Landscape ramp you into Miirym.

Muldrotha Snow: The Frozen Forest
1 year ago
Hey, well done with such a low budget, The Undead Forest is a cool deck name. Interesting deck idea for your first Commander deck with Muldrotha, but why snow? Weathered Runestone completely shuts down Muldrotha.
Marit Lage's Slumber, Jorn, God of Winter Flip, Priest of the Haunted Edge, Blood on the Snow, Ice-Fang Coatl these are some reasons to play snow with Muldrotha. Iceberg Cancrix can repeatable self-mill and that's a good effect with Muldrotha. Pilfering Hawk can be repeatable loot which gets cards into your graveyard. Unfortunately, this isn't many cards.
Draugr Necromancer is a good card with snow, but it doesn't have much interaction with Muldrotha. Dead of Winter is another good card with snow, but Muldrotha is not a snow creature. Narfi, Betrayer King is fine, able to reanimate itself with snow, but he's support for snow not really a reason to play snow.
Some advice to consider is to play nonsnow cards that can put snow-covered permanents (lands) onto the battlefield to meet the snow requirement for snow cards without playing lots of unnecessary snow creatures. The best way to get snow permanents is with snow-covered lands. You really don't need lots of other subpar snow creatures here.
- Frostweb Spider
- Saddled Rimestag
- Zombie Musher
- Frostpeak Yeti
- Grim Draugr
- Rimebound Dead
- Boreal Centaur
- Hailstorm Valkyrie
- Frost Raptor
- Avalanche Caller
- Boreal Outrider
- Frost Augur
All these creatures could be cut to improve your deck.
Instead of playing lots of lesser snow creatures, play just the better snow creatures here?
- Ascendant Spirit
- Iceberg Cancrix
- Ice-Fang Coatl
- Pilfering Hawk
- Priest of the Haunted Edge
- Jorn, God of Winter Flip
- Ohran Viper
- Abominable Treefolk
- Draugr Necromancer
- Icebreaker Kraken
Use other deck slots for cards that can search for and get snow-covered lands onto the battlefield?
- Sakura-Tribe Elder
- Font of Fertility
- Wayfarer's Bauble
- Diligent Farmhand
- Dawntreader Elk
- Springbloom Druid
- Binding the Old Gods
- Khalni Heart Expedition
- Evolving Wilds
- Terramorphic Expanse
Consider adding some spells that are not permanents that can search for and put snow-covered lands onto the battlefield?
- Harrow
- Into the North: can get a snow-covered dual land.
Cards that can get snow-covered lands into your hand as well as get cards into your graveyard can be helpful with Muldrotha.
Could also add some snow mana rocks and mana dorks?
Land ramp for snow-covered lands and mana from mana rocks is more ramp which also helps to cast 6 mana Muldrotha as well as having more mana to cast permanents from your graveyard when you control Muldrotha.
Example of a budget more refined creature base with snow.
- Ascendant Spirit
- Diligent Farmhand
- Dawntreader Elk
- Iceberg Cancrix
- Ice-Fang Coatl
- Lotus Cobra
- Pilfering Hawk
- Priest of the Haunted Edge
- Rime Tender
- Sakura-Tribe Elder
- Satyr Wayfinder
- Sculptor of Winter
- Jorn, God of Winter Flip
- Ohran Viper
- Springbloom Druid
- Abominable Treefolk
- Draugr Necromancer
- Icebreaker Kraken
Good luck with your deck.
