Karmic Guide

Creature — Angel Spirit

Flying, protection from black ((Remember the acronym debt.) This can't be damaged, enchanted, equipped, blocked or targeted by anything black. Anything black attached to this immediately falls off.)

Echo (At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)

When this enters, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

All good points. Here are some other cards to throw your way.

Karmic Guide - Nothing special but worth mentioning. Bonus points with skullclamp.

Smothering Tithe - White good stuff, which can get repetitive so I understand why it likely isn't included.

Loyal Retainers - Fun little guy, gets thalia as well for what it's worth. Probably not the best card but thought it might be something.

Academy Rector - Can get your 2, 6 mana enchantments, an effective blocker and easy to sac in this deck.

I really like how you built this staxy version.

Flarhoon13 on Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Oops, I Did it Again

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Oops, I Did it Again won, Comboed off on my fifth attempt thru lots of disruption. Ian and Madison didn't team up, on their Ren and Stimpy, err, Rin and Seri, Inseparable and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic decks. Murderous Redcap entered at least 5 times and Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit about three before the combo finally stuck, with Karmic Guide out and then Renegade Reaper milled a Reveillark, starting a new combo that finally won the game.

SlangNTrees13 on Whippits (Jolly Balloon Man Token Primer)

Hey TitanWalls, I really like Threefold Thunderhulk. That's a lot of tokens coming in with a copy ability or untap or two to take advantage of our damage pingers. Ancient Gold Dragon has also caught my eye if I decide to slot in anymore high mana cost baddies. For now I had stayed away from going heavy token creation and focusing on our own balloon tokens, as do you feel the 7 mana is still worth it when we could be dropping the likes of Battle Angels of Tyr or Charismatic Conqueror for much less? You have got the wheels turning though here to shift our focus towards damage pingers with copiable token creators. I do like it very much. I run Boss's Chauffeur in my Jetmir deck to great effect and the lower 5 mana cost is appealing despite its other creature dependent conditionality. If I do move to the token route it would definitely make sense. Custodi Soulbinders Cool one, but don't want to have to pay that 3 mana activation cost. For Jackdaw Savior I had to read your comment and sat for a second and then went, "Does it copy the mana value? Have I ever known this?" and then realize yes, yes it does. So, Jackdaw I'm going to get in for sure, don't want to lose Sevinne's Reclamation as I want to be able to get any permanent, so Karmic Guide will most likely get the chop. You are right, edhrec is good at listing any Commander synergy cards. Thanks for the suggestions. See if I can't get a few token focused games going today as I'm happy to lose Felidar Guardian and Restoration Angel and move away from the blink focus I am thinking.

albanshqiptar not just etbs but even just angels like Archangel of Tithes with cool static abilities to surprise the opponent with aether vial. Also for card drawing like 2x veil of summer, 2x reprieve would be nice. Recursion from graveyard is useful aswell if you can't drow much, maybe a Karmic Guide or you can put in Dawn of Hope since you get many hp.

I need a little more clarification on the objective of the deck. Are you wanting a deck with the longest list of combos, a deck with a large number of completely unique combos that you want to draw naturally, or a deck with a large number of completely unique combos and you will tutor the last piece? Each different style is going to require different combos.

Without any specific guidance on how you want to build the deck I am just going to list some of my favorites. I'll just list off cards, LMK if you need an explanation for any.

Apart from a spate of tutors of varying price points (Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Entomb, etc.), here are some thoughts of varying degrees of evilness/making sure your opponents "love" you forever:

I think you hit the main ones for card advantage, and I really like Mask of Memory because you are running Karmic Guide and Bruna, the Fading Light  Meld and you can sometimes pitch a big creature to get reanimated. I have a Bruna deck and it's very fun to reanimate in mono white : )

Other equips you might consider in general are: Dowsing Dagger  Flip is great with flyers, and pays back 3 of it's 4 mana often on the turn it comes down.

Hedgewitch's Mask I really like this one, especially with flying creatures to limit who can block them even more.

Explorer's Scope might just be my all time favorite equip, but it might just be me : ) Most often it is just a more efficient Wayfarer's Bauble and even if it bricks, it's surprisingly valuable to know your next draw and plan your plays before you draw.

And one I really like in angels is Concerted Effort It can turn Mother of Runes into boardwipe protection, or give your whole team double strike, or just make your support creatures flyers.

Oh, and also, equip decks can have a lot of fun with Leonin Shikari that can give all creatures Lightning Greaves or add on more Sword of Fire and Ice triggers, more Sword of the Animist triggers, it's always pretty good.

The most compact Hulk line is going to be Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista which requires you to add only Protean Hulk and Walking Ballista both of which are decent outside of the combo. The combo does require a sacrifice outlet, and I was having trouble thinking of how to grab one since the combo already uses all 6 CMC of the tutor and I am most familiar with the combo in Abzan where you get Karmic Guide. Luckily DreadKhan supplied the missing piece, if you add in Activated Sleeper you can tutor the Sleeper and Viscera Seer to provide the sacrifice outlet.

Combo I am describing in case you are not familiar with Mike and Ballista. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed gives non-human creatures +1/+1 and undying, so the Ballista enters as a 1/1 and doesn't die. Sacrifice Walking Ballista and it comes back with a +1/+1 counter. Remove the counter from Ballista and deal 1 damage to an opponent. Repeat loop of sacrificing Ballista and removing counter until all opponents are dead.

You are also already running Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, so you can add in a few low cost undying creatures and get that combo with low opportunity cost. Young Wolf and Butcher Ghoul are the easiest to cast ones since they only have a single colored pip. Treacherous Pit-Dweller, Geralf's Messenger, and Strangleroot Geist are perfectly defensible options too, though the pit dweller is more all-in on having a way to sacrifice for value before the trigger to give an opponent control resolves and as such I think isn't a great fit here.

In general you can also up the power level of the deck by adding tutors. The "good" ones you are not running are Worldly Tutor, Grim Tutor, and Vampiric Tutor.
