Crow-Umbra, yep! I saw Vadrok when I was looking for a new commander and thought that he would be pretty good considering his ability supports so many strategies.

Btw when I was looking at decks for inspiration your list was one of the main ones, I love playing control and tempo and adding voltronesque qualities seems like it would make those archetypes stronger in a setting where you may not be able to control all the threats coming from 3-4 different players.

For your recommendations I have strongly considered adding Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip, I just chose some favorites before her and didn’t have anymore room so it’s just a matter of find something to cut, maybe Elixir of Immortality .

I saw Glitterfang when putting together the list but it just seemed kinda meh, 5 mana for a 3 mana card, and Underworld Breach , Lore Drakkis , and Sevinne's Reclamation are already in the list.

Leonin Warleader is definitely good, after playing this deck some I’ll see if I need to add it.

Thanks for taking a look at this list, Vadrok is def awesome, also if you don’t mind could you tell me what you think of this list: Vadrok and Roll Tier 8? It’s a similar list where I dropped some of the cards that are just good for combat, flashy, or goodstuff for more ramp, tutors, and draw so that the deck is more efficient in achieving its combo.

Yay, another Vadrok player! Vadrok is a lot of fun, and can be built a lot of different ways. I took my build a similar direction as yours, wanting to combine elements of Voltron with tempo-control & the Dockside + Bounce spell loops combo. I'd recommend checking out the following, in case you haven't already:

• Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip - She came in clutch in my last game with Vadrok, & helped me get the extra mana I needed.

• Glitterfang - Cheap creature that auto-bounces back to hand

• Leonin Warleader - More of a meta-call, but just in case you want another effect similar to Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin .

Here's my Vadrok build, in case you're interested Thundercat Song Reference

Nice Cat Deck :) Maybe think about Leonin Warleader , with 3,74 Dollars, it's more on the costly side of things, I hope that doesn't interrupt the budget thought behind the deck.

multimedia on Orzhov token life drain

7 months ago

Hey, nice budget version with some creative strategies. You forgot Sol Ring :)

Consider more repeatable draw from effects you don't have to cast since you have a lot of cards to assemble for the combos and then you don't lose life from Liesa.

• Dawn of Hope
• Arguel's Blood Fast  ^Flip
• Mask of Memory
• Skullclamp
• Court of Grace
• Palace Jailer

Dawn of Hope is nice with Liesa because she has lifelink thus when she does damage pay 2 mana to draw. Arguel's Blood Fast  ^Flip uses life to draw. Liesa has flying and there's quite a few other fliers here who can more easily do combat damage to a player for Mask of Memory .

Court of Grace and Palace Jailer can be repeatable draw with the monarch and Grace can be repeatable 4/4 Angels or 1/1 Spirits. Cards that create tokens are good with Skullclamp especially 1/1 tokens such as from Keeper of the Accord and Leonin Warleader .

Some cards to consider cutting:

• Harmless Assault
• Mishra's Self-Replicator
• Withercrown
• Rally the Ranks
• Demon of Loathing
• Bloodline Pretender
• Replicating Ring

Cards to consider cutting are Harmless Assault since four mana for this effect is too much. Mishra's Self-Replicator there's much better five drops here to cast. Withercrown subpar for a removal spell since your opponent can just ignore it until they find a way to remove it because losing 1 life is not much to worry about. Rally the Ranks since +1/+1 anthem effect is not really worth it.

Demon of Loathing is not as good as the other high CMC creatures. Bloodline Pretender only good when you have Nexus or Conspiracy on the battlefield because you have to choose a creature type. Instead play a card that can help to setup Nexus or Conspiracy? Sol Ring could replace Replicating Ring .

Good luck with your deck.

Barbarian_Sun_Pope on Boros Legions

Nice deck (+1), love the Boros theme here. Have you considered some creatures with built in battalion enabling; i.e. Hanweir Garrison, Hero of Bladehold, Leonin Warleader, Skyknight Vanguard, or Basri Ket (not a creature, but the same idea). Also Ilharg, the Raze-Boar seems like he would fit nicely here. Hope this helps.

Crow-Umbra on 5 Color Mutate

Hi, I saw your post on /r/EDH. In regards to white & red mutate targets, a few I'd recommend are:

• Malignus
• Markov Blademaster
• Leonin Warleader
• Augury Adept

These are some of the more aggro hosts I used in my Vadrok deck. Also, if they're in your budget, Cephalid Constable & Needle Specter can both be pretty back breaking. I use them in my Brokkos deck to great effect.

Cut down to 37 lands, I'd say. Probably...a Plains and a Forest?

Also. Hungry Lynx, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Bronzehide Lion, Fleecemane Lion, Leonin Warleader, Mowu, Loyal Companion, Ainok Bond-Kin, Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse.

You also need more removal. I'd recommend picking a few out of Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Generous Gift, Beast Within, Chaos Warp, Nature's Chant, Return to Nature, Force of Vigor, Return to Dust. Those are single target creature/artifact/enchantment removal, mainly. You also need a bit of mass removal. I'd suggest something like Hour of Reckoning, Dusk / Dawn, Cleansing Nova, or Austere Command.

We talked about it a bit earlier, but Leonin Warleader is a good include here. I think it's more threatening than Brimaz. I see Impact Tremors, so It would be intersting to kinda steer the deck in a token build. Docent of Perfection  ^Flip can help get the party started. There are also gobo spells you can cast daddy Vadrok, like Hordeling Outburst to help fuel your army.

One thing I noticed is that there aren't a whole lot of pump effects for a voltron subtheme commander outside of double strike type cards. Might be cool to add Brute Force, Infuriate, and low cost buff spells. If that style sounds cool you can add in Feather, the Redeemed for more ways to get your spells back and if you lean towards token theme adding Zada, Hedron Grinder will really scare the table!

As for potential cuts, I think Archipelagore can probably take a seat. High mana cost with a bit of a low effect. How often will you mutate ove 2 creatures. Fling seems a bit out of place. I can't imagine wanting to sacrifice a mutate pile.

Focusing on your commander's ability and bouncing to recast it will be much cheaper and have a greater impact in game. Blistercoil Weird, Kiln Fiend and Spellgorger Weird could also be some cool potential targets to mutate onto. Flood of Tears can clear the board and let you put down a mutate target.
