Just a quick update! Played and managed to pop off a Defense of the Heart on turn 4 and got both Koma, Cosmos Serpent and Koma, World-Eater which ended the game in 2 rounds.

So sad serpents don’t count as snakes. Koma, Cosmos Serpent is such a ridiculous card.

Bookrook on Top ten most toxic commanders.

7 months ago

These are, in my opinion, the top ten most toxic commanders to play against. The ones where you get teamed up on more than the guy with the turn one sol ring.

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Infect infect infect infect. Also gets toxic points for being an infect commander.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent.

If they have any kind of token doubler or nonlegendary cloner, you might as well skip your untap step. Once my friend had an Essix, Fractal Bloom out with a Mirror Box.

Numot the Devestator Land destruction. Need I say more?

Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip.

Nobody cares about the lantern. Everybody cares about their creatures going up for adoption.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Pray WOTC never makes a blue version of it.

The Beamtown Bullies I’m guilty of playing with this deck. Who new there were so many cards with very big downsides. *cough cough Leveler

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Do you want people to play with you?

Maha, Its Feathers Night

Kaervek, the Spiteful, Night of Souls' Betrayal, and the million other cards that give all creatures -1/-1 until end of turn exist.

All the Phyrexian praetors (but mostly Sheoldred, the Apocalypse)

Card draw is good in commander. Sheoldred deals damage to your opponents when they draw cards. Plus,Peer into the Abyss either instakills an opponent or gives you 30 life and 40 cards.

Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Just like sheoldred, but you get access to red for wheels and handsize burn spells, and blue for being blue.

*honarable mention to The Infamous Cruelclaw decks that play 99 lands and Worldfire.

That's great, e wit would be a good addition too - very versatile card.

To link cards, write its name in nested brackets like this:

[[Eternal Witness]]

I personally don't make decks with big beaters so I'm not well versed in what the best value will be for your creatures. With that disclaimer out of the way, I'll give my 2 cents anyway :p

I'd suggest examining these cards to see if you can replace them with cheaper CMC or more synergistic alternatives:
Portal to Phyrexia
Maelstrom Colossus
Koma, Cosmos Serpent
Basically, I'd examine any spell CMC 6 or higher personally, I find once you get into that range each card should be something you enjoy and can't replace.

You may like these cards:
Etherium-Horn Sorcerer
Beast Whisperer
Garruk's Uprising (specifically over Temur Ascendancy)

@Coward_Token The 1/1 Koma, Cosmos Serpent would still be legendary and one of them should be sacrificed. Am I missing something?

Irenicus's Vile Duplication seems like an awesome addition, thank you!

In Simic there are options like Koma, Cosmos Serpent which can just overwhelm tables by itself, especially if you can protect it. Not the cheapest card though, some cheaper options are Overwhelming Stampede, which can help close games by making your creatures a lot bigger, even if you don't have a huge number of them, as long as you have a creature with decent power out you'll be good. There is also Blossoming Bogbeast, this wants ways to gain life, but Green has some out there, Primal Command is a great budget card IMHO, solves problems and has pretty impressive synergy with the Bogbeast. You might like using Spawning Kraken, any time an appropriate creature gets in you get another big token. Finally, not sure if you have enough Islandwalk, but Stormtide Leviathan is a big unblockable attacker that makes you fairly hard to attack. Resolving any of those cards tends to end games pretty quickly in my experience, and most reward you for simply having a big board, a thing you always want to be doing.

I also like some of Blue's fairly nasty interaction, one alternative to making your guys big is to make someone else's guys way smaller, Mass Diminish is frankly an absurd amount of value in more Casual pods, such as lower budget games. Note it has Flashback and the effect lasts an entire turn cycle, meaning it can also eliminate an archenemy that's gotten ahead. Since you're running higher MV stuff, you might try out Curse of the Swine, this can make your opponent's defenses quite paltry, and it also can deal with problem creatures (like the aforementioned Koma) since it's an Exile effect. Another way to chip away at your opponent (and empower yourself) is to use something like Mass Diminish, I don't know how long your games go, but if you expect to end up with +10 mana available, this card starts looking interesting. I'd skip it if people run a lot of counterspells though, it's a 'go big or go home' kinda card but by all means hold up your own Negate.

Green has some interaction of it's own, if people run flyers in your meta and you're losing to them there are many ways in Green to wipe them, I like Squallmonger and Silklash Spider, but there are a ton more including Hurricane. If you don't have many flyers, this does nothing to you. Green also has Ezuri's Predation if people like to make lots of tokens that are usually smaller than 4/4 (if you run anthem effects that affect the beasts the card is much better obviously).

Just a general point, in Simic it's nice to avoid artifact ramp because you have so many amazing options to ramp with, artifacts tend to die more easily than lands, so effects that get extra lands into play are better than Command Sphere, especially in a 2 colour deck I'd argue. Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland are both fairly interesting ramp cards, you can always leave them as lands until you need them. Another feature of land ramp is that you can run cards like Rampaging Baloths and Scute Swarm, either gets a lot better if you're getting more landfall trigger, artifacts rarely have synergy with Simic game plans.

Profet93 - I see where you're coming from but the 3 power is key for this deck as the Coil Tokens that Koma, Cosmos Serpent makes are all 3/3's. Also since I'm in Green/Blue Garruk's Packleader being a creature has some upside as it can be found with the few tutors I'm running.
