AwesomeJMS5 on WALKING GRAVE (Skullbriar or Sarulf) ♡

I used to have a Skullbrair EDH deck, and I used to love playing with it. There's a few cards I'd put in there before dismantling it that I think you could consider, thanks to his unique abilities. Slippery Bogbonder is a creature that can put a Hexproof Counter onto skullbrair at instant-speed, giving him permanent hexproof for the rest of the game if it resolves. Hornbash Mentor can give him permanent trample with a Trample Counter, while also have the ability to give him more counters later on. Along those same lines, Duskfang Mentor does the same thing that Hornbash does, except it involves a Lifelink Counter instead. Finally, like those previous 3, Daring Fiendbonder has a way to put an Indestructability Counter on Skullbrair. Those four creatures are something you could consider for your deck.

Finally, a few other cards to be considered is a favorite of mine: Jarad's Orders , which puts a creature into your graveyard and into your hand. Fireshrieker is nice, because who doesn't like double strike. And last but not least, why not consider a Llanowar Reborn in the deck. Yeah it enters tapped, but it also adds an extra counter for free to Skullbrair later on when he enters the battlefield.

I hope this has helped!

Hey Walrighti, +1!

@your post

Congrats on your first deck! You have a lot of fun cards in here and it looks great! I imagine you want to tune and make it even more efficient so here are some ideas...

Add 3 categories: #Combo, #Lifegain, and #Evasion; and then sort your maybeboard the same way you've done your mainboard to easily rank your choices within a category (By "combo" I mean all your "if-then" cards like Trudge Garden that are slower and don't work by themselves). Remove #Creatures (most of them are #Combo).

Avoid most cards above 4 cmc... Willowdusk is fast and fragile, so play into that... Also, prioritize cards that can do 2 or more things or that give value on ETB... If you have pet cards that don't really fit and that hurt to cut, put them in a "I'll build that theme later" list.

cut

-1 Baleful Force

-1 Pelakka Wurm

-1 Sproutback Trudge

-1 Ageless Entity

-1 Ezzaroot Channeler ... cut the fatties.

-1 Ob Nixilis Reignited

-1 Garruk, Apex Predator

-1 Planewide Celebration

-1 Primeval Bounty

-1 Trudge Garden

-1 In Garruk's Wake

-1 Deadbridge Chant

-1 Decree of Pain ... too slow

-1 Bow of Nylea ... meh

-1 Jarad's Orders < Diabolic Tutor

-1 Sangromancer ... amazing card but doesn't trigger when you need it to.

-1 Venser's Journal ... also amazing, but too conditional for this build

-1 Marshland Bloodcaster

-1 Gift of Paradise

-1 Nissa's Renewal

-1 Ranger's Path ... all your ramp should be on turn 2

-1 Temple of the False God ... this card is almost never good

add

(All under $3)

+1 Devoted Druid ... this card is a beast

+1 Arcane Signet

+1 Golgari Signet

+1 Talisman of Resilience ... #Ramp

+1 Elves of Deep Shadow

+1 Soul Channeling ... #Combo with Willowbark and stick to the board...

~1 Phyrexian Processor ... fun?

~1 Lurking Evil ... maybe?

~1 Solidarity of Heroes ... #Combo

~1 Ooze Flux ... tokens at instant speed?

~1 Retribution of the Ancients ... removal?

+1 Garruk, Primal Hunter

+1 Mindless Automaton

+1 Thought Gorger ... (leaves)

+1 Life's Legacy

+1 Return of the Wildspeaker ... #Draw

~1 Essence Harvest

+1 Bloodspore Thrinax

+1 Triskelion ... #Combo

+1 Nighthawk Scavenger ... #Fatty

...Always play at least 10 ramp spells under 3 cmc.

...Playtest and make sure Willowbark consistently makes a fatty (with evasion) before turn 6-7.

Here's another Willowdusk thread.

Happy building :)

Hey, well done on such a low budget. Less than $100 is impressive :)

Some $1-$2 or less budget cards to consider adding:

• Miara, Thorn of the Glade : she triggers when Elf tokens die.
• Pyre of Heroes : Elf Birthing Pod .
• Pact of the Serpent : mass draw with Elves.
• Llanowar Wastes : ETB untapped.
• Fallen Ideal : enchant Jarad to give him flying evasion to do Commander damage. Is a no mana cost sac outlet to make Jarad huge while also triggering Poison-Tip, Elderfang, Savra, Nightblade, etc.
• Paradise Druid : could replace a Swamp.
• Golgari Signet : could replace a Swamp.
• Lys Alana Huntmaster : another source of repeatable Elf tokens.
• Jarad's Orders : put an Elf in your graveyard and one into your hand.
• Temple of Malady

Cards to consider cutting:

• 3x Swamp
• Deathsprout
• Casualties of War
• Masked Admirers
• Golgari Germination
• Necrotic Wound
• Rhys the Exiled
• Uncage the Menagerie

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Korvold eats your breakfast

Hey, good start on a budget.

Cards in the maybeboard that are worth adding:

• Whisper, Blood Liturgist
• Altar's Reap
• Costly Plunder
• Solemn Simulacrum
• Fleshbag Marauder
• Apprentice Necromancer
• In Garruk's Wake
• Tainted Wood

Possible others:

• Erebos, Bleak-Hearted
• Smothering Abomination
• Acidic Slime

---

Some budget cards, $1-$2, most are less than $1, at TCGPlayer to consider adding:

• Chandra, Acolyte of Flame : the two Elementals she creates are saced at your end step meaning they will trigger Korvold. Repeatable two Elemental creatures has interaction with Priest of Forgotten Gods and Whisper, Blood Liturgist to activate them on your turn each turn.
• Awakening Zone : Eldrazi Spawn tokens have nice interaction with Korvold since they self-sac to make 1 colorless mana.
• Arasta of the Endless Web : repeatable Spider tokens whenever an opponent casts an instant/sorcery thus can be lots of value in multiplayer Commander. It can even create infinite Spider tokens if an opponent combos by infinite casting.
• Atarka, World Render : creature to reanimate. Korvold is a Dragon and giving him double strike in combination with flying and huge power from counters can outright kill an opponent with Commander damage.
• Sakura-Tribe Elder : can sac itself.
• Caustic Caterpillar : can sac itself.
• Viscera Seer : can sac itself.
• Reassembling Skeleton : can reanimate itself.
• Bloodsoaked Champion : can reanimate itself.
• Harrow
• Village Rites
• Jarad's Orders : tutor for two creatures, one into your hand and the other into your graveyard. Good reanimation enabler or get Reassembling/Champion.
• Victimize
• Poison-Tip Archer : trigger when any other creature dies including opponent's creatures making it good in multiplayer Commander.

---

More ramp is good with Korvold because it can help to cast him faster and then it can be sac fodder to trigger him.

• Sol Ring : the most expensive price card I will suggest, but it's a staple of Commander.
• Harrow
• Sakura-Tribe Elder
• Gruul Signet
• Golgari Signet
• Rakdos Signet
• Mind Stone : can sac itself.
• Commander's Sphere : can sac itself.
• Springbloom Druid

Some budget lands to consider adding:

• Exotic Orchard
• Savage Lands
• Path of Ancestry
• Llanowar Wastes
• Cinder Glade
• Smoldering Marsh
• Jund Panorama
• Evolving Wilds
• Terramorphic Expanse
• Myriad Landscape
• Blighted Woodland
• Ghost Quarter
• Ash Barrens

I offer more advice. Good luck with your deck.

DreadKhan on Prime Slime [cEDH]

I feel like Temples probably are a bit too slow for cEDH. I really have a visceral fear of CIPT lands there, but I might be a bit paranoid. That said, Yavimaya Coast , Underground River , and Llanowar Wastes are probably better fits for the faster games that occur in cEDH games, and I don't think they are too bonkers price-wise, maybe River.

Burning-Rune Demon is probably wildly better than Rune-Scarred Demon , and I feel like you might (barely) consider Jarad's Orders , but these are getting pretty slow. Also, when they are in color, you should consider running Opposition Agent and Hullbreacher in cEDH, as these are just insanely hostile cards for 3 mana. Players often need to either answer or just lose.

Hi,

Nice to see a cat tribal Nethroi deck!

I've played Arahbo, Roar of the World a lot, a when Ikoria was released, I pondered to make an abzan cat tribal with Nethroi. But I ended building it normal graveyard synergy as I wantet to keep my classic Arahbo constructed.

Anyway, I know the flavor is that all your cats are legendary, an I love that, but I think if you want to play the deck more efficient without losing cat theme, you can do some changes:

Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar in this particular deck is only a 2/2 vanilla, as your only commander Nethroi already has deathtouch. I love it, but in this particular case sadly doesn't do anything.

Cards you could add, knowing that aren't legendary, but they are cats that work very well with your deck:

Fleecemane Lion can became indestructible, and then you can mutate your commander on it, making a great indestructible menace and keeping that +1/+1 counter.
Fleetfoot Panther and Whitemane Lion can save one of your cats or can bounce your commander to keep doing his mutation and reanimating things. Bronzehide Lion also protects your creatures.
Qasali Pridemage you play it, control your opponent best artifacts or enchantments, dies and Nethroi will recover it later.
Necropanther to reanimate small cats or creatures, and can mutateo over your commander to repeat effects.
Feline Sovereign and Regal Caracal , if you go tribal, those are the best cats lords, in addition to Kaheera of course.
Rakshasa Debaser can be a wincon when you encore him.
Alms Collector for card draw and to control greedy card draws of enemies.
Phantom Nishoba and Phantom Tiger look scrapy, but they count 0 power when you reanimate them with Nethroi, and if you mutate Nethroi on them, you transform Nethroi into a crature that prevent all the damage that receibes, even if he loses all +1/+1 counters.

And playing something like Nethroi, believe me (I'm a Nethroi and a golgari player), you need graveyard synergy. If you don't, you'll find that you reached turn X, play Nethroi but you only can revive 1-2 sad creatures. You need to fill your graveyard before that.
Exmaples (of course there are much more):
Grisly Salvage
Satyr Wayfinder
Mulch
Buried Alive
Jarad's Orders
Entomb
Altar of Dementia
Life from the Loam

And last:
Eerie Ultimatum and Living Death you'll have much fun with those in this type of deck.

Hope that give you some ideas to improve the deck without changing its spirit.

Cool deck!!
Jarad's Orders and Gifts Ungiven are playable.
If you want more bombs, Diluvian Primordial and Sepulchral Primordial are pretty good.

beets on Horde of Notions - Elemental Tribal

8 months ago

hey! i love elementals and love seeing your list :) if i may suggest a few changes, you seem to be pretty light on creatures for a tribal deck? 26 isn't even a third of your deck! so 1/3 of the time the only creature you'll have available is your commander..... may i suggest a few?

Nevermaker is a fantastic catch-all removal creature. not only does it hit most permanent types, it also wastes opponents' next draw.

Omnath, Locus of the Roil is a huge boon to this deck, not only because he specifically cares about elementals, but also because he can draw you cards! he's everything you could want from a card.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is super ramp, turning all of your creatures into mana! so you can can even bigger spells. she acts like a second Cryptolith Rite if you so choose to run it.

tutors aren't always a necessity, but i think cards like Buried Alive, Jarad's Orders, and Final Parting are good, budget fits for reanimator decks such as this!

it may not seem impressive, but Wispmare is incredible value on a card, as you can cast it for a single . then you can recurr it for more value later! i would recommend Ingot Chewer for the samw reason.

do notice that i like the lorwyn block a lot.....

i would definitely pick up the new Maskwood Nexus from kaldheim for any tribal deck!! especially since i see you don't run 25 elementals.

try to remove some of your spells with super specific mana costs. it sucks to try to cast Kaya's Wrath in a 5-color deck. even regular Wrath of God would be better.... or Fumigate if what you care about is the life gain, but that would increase your overall deck cmc, which is already 3.7.... yikes!

well i hope that whatever you decide to do, you enjoy playing this deck! let me know how it fares at ypur kitchen table! :)
