Mortlocke on Commander Sliver Deck

2 months ago

Okay Twinships, lets start with the most important thing you must know about Slivers - and repeat after me: "Slivers are a sometimes food.". While they are amazing, and the more show up the more ridiculous the boardstate - you don't need all of them. There are times when you absolutely need room for other things like interaction, engines, you know...an actual deck. First things first - Who is your commander? To designate a Commander for the list on TappedOut you need to tag the card with CMDR when editing your deck list. Depending on the Commander, choices and recommendations will vary.

As of now, your deck has no engines, interaction, or resiliency - all of which are needed as you seem to be suffering from the classic Sliver problem of poor table politics. So, lets start looking at some card recommendations:

  • Lurking Predators: You need an engine, and this is as good as any. It also plays into table politics as it disincentivizes other decks from popping off at best, at worst it gets your opponents focusing on it instead of your creatures.

  • Intruder Alarm: You need an engine, this one in particular is one of the usual suspects for slivers that help close out games. When Heart Sliver (or any other haste enabler) and Manaweft Sliver (or any other dork) are on the field you can at worst play your whole hand, and at best play your whole deck and close the game on the same turn. Just make sure you only play this when you can effectively end the game as it is an effect that benefits your opponents as well.

  • Worldly Tutor: You need tutors.

  • Sylvan Tutor: You need tutors.
  • Demonic Tutor: You need tutors.
  • Grim Tutor: You need tutors.
  • Guardian Project: You need card draw.
  • Dormant Sliver: This is an optional card draw suggestion as you need a reliable sac outlet to remove the Defender ability from your Sliver
  • Counterspell: You need interaction.
  • Mana Drain: You need interaction.
  • Strix Serenade: You need interaction.
  • Swan Song: You need interaction.
  • Kindred Dominance: You need mass removal to slow down faster players.
  • Blasphemous Act: You need mass removal to slow down faster players. This also combos very well with Spiteful Sliver as well.
  • Cyclonic Rift: You need mass removal to slow down faster players and have answers.
  • Consider the Talisman cycle: Talisman of Curiosity, Talisman of Dominance etc. You need more rocks and means of fixing your manabase.
  • Kodama's Reach: The Sister to Cultivate - you need as many options as possible to fix your manabase in this deck as you are running all 5 colors. 5 Color decks tend to run slow and inefficient if you don't invest heavily in the manabase and/or in many different options for color fixing. On that same note, consider Skyshroud Claim as it is also very similar in nature as long as you have lands with multiple subtypes e.g. Stomping Groundfoil or Breeding Poolfoil which are both Forests but also are other land types. Also on that note - get shocklands. All of them. If you can also afford it get the Kahns of Tarkir/Onslaught/Zendikar Fetchlands as well. An okay cheaper substitute for the previously mentioned would be the Mirage Fetchlands - but they're an incomplete cycle. Sorry for the tangent here.

Now, these are just a start to some suggestions and ideas for your deck. But we can't get started until you designate your commander. Then we can start cutting to make room. Are there any pet cards or ideas you have? Please share.

Andramalech appreciate the feedback. I like koma as well, had to start making some tough choices to slim down to 100. I should leave a few of the good choices on the maybeboard. Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath seems interesting. Most of my additional land drops are tied to creature affects or things like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach. With a somewhat limited number of basic lands I'd be concerned with having too many options to Tutor out all my basics, then end up with dead cards. I could be wrong there though. Fastbond also seems like it could be a good addition. I had Growth Spiral and Farseek on an earlier list as well, just didn't end up making the cut.

Mortlocke on Gishath Spared No Expense!!!

2 months ago

Ah! You're right about that Roaming Throne! I missed that. Sorry for the wasted suggestion. Interesting philosophy regarding your commander getting combat damage - instead of trying to sneak by, you just hit them harder. Well i'm glad you're considering Finale of Devastation as it fits this ethos quite nicely. I do wonder about your deck's consistency though - have you ever found yourself needing to tutor for creatures? I see you're considering Worldly Tutor, what about Sylvan Tutor? Both place creatures on top of your library, so it synchronizes perfectly with your Commander's triggers. What maybe more ramp? There's Kodama's Reach, the sibling to Cultivate that you could also include.

Now lastly, this suggestion is very expensive - but why settle for Three Tree City when you could go for Gaea's Cradle? Gishath Spared No Expense, so why should you? Just hear me out - this card is indeed a game changer, and a very splashy one. You don't have purchase it, as you can proxy. But if that's not your style, I won't slight you. On the other hand if you have a full trade binder with some pricey goodies you could go to an LGS you trust and work out a deal. I've done something like this before and it's worked out for me. But again, this is a very subjective thing. If that doesn't seem appealing, you could also try Growing Rites of Itlimoc  Flip. It can help you get another creature in hand/filter the top of your library. What're your thoughts?

Mortlocke on A Pulverizer? Perrie the Pulverizer?!

Hi Baron777,

Just responding to your post here. I hope you don't mind. Just for my own understanding, I think you need to clarify what kind of decks you want to play against. When you say "This is designed as a fun 6-7 level deck that..." This tells me nothing. When discussing your deck I suggest following this prompt:

  1. My deck has a budget of...
  2. My manabase has the most efficient lands available/most cheap and slow utility tapped lands and tapped fetches/a mix between the two
  3. My deck threatens to kill an opponent between turns x and y/The most important turns for my deck are between x and y when my deck can pop off when doing z.

Based off of the previously mentioned cards in your post - namely Solemnity and Torpor Orb it sounds like your meta has a lot of particularly nasty control magic that can absolutely one card you out of a game. Therefore I suggest adding both more ramp and more interaction - you're in the colors for it:

In summary, I think your deck doesn't match what it's playing against. You need to have more consistency if you are going up against opponents who are going to completely lock you out of a game. To get that, you need to make sure you can target problem permanents as often as possible.

TheForsakenOne on Omnath, locus of all

5 months ago

You need a lot more cards that trigger Omnath, ideally you want to be hitting it every single turn but with lands that's already not going to happen. You barely have 6 cards in the deck that he'll trigger on, and while he will still draw you a card each turn you want to be adding that free mana. If you want a more goodstuff commander I'd recommend switching to Kenrith, the Returned King as a card that has more general value.

You seem to have a lot of just bad cards in here, giving the impression that you built this out of the cards you have lying around. Everyone has to start there, I did the same when I was starting out, but a lot of these go straight to the cutting floor. Aegis Turtle, Campus Guide, Sanguine Syphoner, Gutless Plunderer, Scytheclaw Raptor, Stromkirk Bloodthief, Hoverstone Pilgrim, Misleading Motes, Pilfer, Navigation Orb, Prophetic Prism, Tithing Blade  Flip, and Clawing Torment are all on this list.

You also seem to have a weird sacrifice subtheme with Ravenous Amulet, Vampire Gourmand, Dreg Recycler, Ayara, First of Locthwain, Vein Ripper, and Liliana, Dreadhorde General. The problem with this is that you just don't have good token generators or sacrifice fodder to support this outside of Liliana, not to mention its complete disconnect from the Omnath theme. I'd cut them all except for Liliana and Vein ripper since those are just good cards by themselves.

For other miscellaneous cuts: Rest in Peace is probably unnecessary for the power level you're looking to play at, most of the time it's going to sit dead in your hand. You don't really have enough enter the battlefield effects for Blur to pull its weight. And you don't really seem to be putting out creature numbers necessary for Campaign of Vengeance to be worth the 5 mana. Invasion of Ravnica  Flip is a decent card but the flip cares about 2 color pairs which seems out of place in this deck.

And are you sure you want to keep the infinite combo? Your deck is very low power, while that wincon is something more akin to something higher up. People are going to see you pull off the infinite out of nowhere and then have the perception of your deck based off of that when it'll probably only do it once every dozen or so games. I heavily suggest cutting Marauding Blight-Priest to avoid this.

For what you should add:

Pick and choose from the and cycles, those are pretty consistent 3 color spells that trigger Omnath.

Other suggestions: Villainous Wealth lets you turn all that mana into free spells of your opponents deck. A wincon in of itself.

Rienne, Angel of Rebirth if you put in more multicolored legends then this is a godsend, letting you play them over and over.

Maelstrom Nexus triggers Omnath and is just a really good card for casting big things like you want to.

Kodama's Reach is a second cultivate, which you definitely want.

Mirror Room / Fractured Realm copies a creature or doubles the triggers of all your stuff, including your commander.

Conflux tutors you three cards which is just great and with all the mana you should have you can have a nasty turn with this.

Annie Joins Up is removal and doubles your commander trigger. Also triggers Omnath's draw.

Wargate lets you tutor out whatever Permanent you need directly onto the battlefield, and is a good X spell for all your mana. Also see Chord of Calling or Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer for creatures specifically.

Yurlok of Scorch Thrash is great for adding a ton of mana over several turns. Also triggers Omnath

Sphinx's Revelation to turn that mana into a ton of lifegain and card draw.

Victory Chimes nets you 4 mana a turn with Omnath.

Koma, World-Eater is just a big guy that creates a bunch of tokens and is hard to get rid of. Also triggers Omnath.

Faeburrow Elder is another bloom tender that's also a 5/5 for 3 if you have a decent board.

Aragorn, the Uniter loves you casting multicolored spells because he'll trigger multiple times for each.

Zacama, Primal Calamity can be devastating with the amount of mana you can store. You can cripple your opponents with a string of her abilities.

Muldrotha, the Gravetide is great for recursion to spend all that mana. You'll basically never run out of things to play.

From your Maybeboard: Kroxa and Kunoros should be fun, and Polukranos Reborn  Flip is just a decent creature that also triggers Omnath. Rebuild the City is decent mega ramp that also creates bodies. If you add enough 3 color stuff Meeting of the Five would be great for a massive turn (I would also suggest Threefold Signal if you hit that level). Everything else I don't think is worth adding, you seem to have ambitions for Battle synergy but most of those don't trigger Omnath, I think that would be better saved for another deck.

Tl;Dr: Add more stuff that triggers Omnath and cut out the bulk. Add more ramp and think long and hard about if you do really want that infinite in a deck that cannot match it's power level and the hate it will bring on you.

VerbotenViper on Miirym's Drag(on) Party

Dragons are big enough you don't need Crucible of Fire. I ran it for the longest time but trust me you don't need it. You also should run Cultivate, Farseek, Nature's Lore and Kodama's Reach. Birds of Paradise is good too. Ramp and a good mana base is the best thing for Dragons. Get your commander out turn 3-4 and you'll probably win the game.

hyalopterouslemur on Going beyond 40 lands if …

6 months ago

A good ratio is 40 lands, and then 10 for mana accel, 10 for instant answers, 10 for card draw, and one boardwipe which will favor you. But it's just a guideline.

In green, you have five mana ramp spells for . All green decks should presumably use all five if possible. (Monogreen gains nothing from Farseek, and Three Visits is a very rare card because Portal: Three Kingdoms. Hermit Druid decks are advised to just use mana rocks.) Toss in Sol Ring and Arcane Signet and we're at 7. The rest can be diamonds, signets, Mind Stone, Thought Vessel (if you're drawing a ton of cards), or Coldsteel Heart (which is strictly better than diamonds because you get to choose your color).

At three mana, you get Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, and Chromatic Lantern. Wood Elves and Farhaven Elf can be good, if you have ways to sacrifice them or otherwise abuse the 1/1 body.

At four, Skyshroud Claim and Migration Path are my favorites. I also like Hedron Archive.

NV_1980 on Ursa Major *PRIMER*

Thanks for the recommendations Profet93; I can always count on your valuable support. For now, Nissa's Pilgrimage will definitely replace Kodama's Reach and Castle Garenbrig will definitely replace a forest (can't believe I overlooked that one!).

You're suggesting a lot of additional (or replacement) draw mechanisms for a deck that already has at least sixteen scry/draw/tutor resources. During play with this set, I've rarely lacked for enough cards to cast so I'm not sure whether adding more CA is necessary. Greater Goodfoil is the one suggestion I'd still like to find a place for, considering that it allows one to still make use of a card that might already be on its way to the graveyard (or in emergencies, when one is stuck). I get Elemental Bond is harder to remove than Garruk's Packleader, but I opted for leader because as a creature it can do more than just remain a static enchantment (so for me, multi-functionality trumps survivability, but I can still understand Bond's appeal).

As for Primeval Bounty; it's mostly in for sentimental reasons (I will mention this in the primer, because you're not the first person to mention it in a similar context). It was the first mythic my wife ever pulled from a pack (she unexpectedly passed away in 2020) and the above deck is largely based on her favorite mono-green build (which featured Yeva as its commander).
