lagotripha on Sliver of Eternity

Traditional sliver aggro basically mandates Aether Vial , which is anything but budget, but sliver combo gives options.

If you are looking at a Basal Sliver deck, its worth looking at Adaptive Automaton / Changeling Outcast / Haakon, Stromgald Scourge . Torment of Hailfire gives another 'I win the game' card, and Bitter Ordeal gives another, but frankly any storm card will work. Even Ignite Memories . Changeling also lets you run different 'ramp sac' options in Skirk Prospector . Weather the Storm will be spectacular sideboard.

Lands are where it gets tricky. You want green for gemhides etc, and multicolour to fix for other slivers. Sliver Hive will fix most problems, but it got expensive at some point. Ancient Ziggurat doesn't fuel your spells, but when trying to combo into them with basal, that matters less. Playing mostly green/black and leaning into Llanowar Wastes and friends is likely the best option.

If you're looking to do spider tribal, perhaps consider Conspiracy and Cover of Darkness ? Conspiracy will let you turn all your creatures into spiders, then you can give them extra evasion with Cover. Also, you may want to add some more dual lands and other useful lands if at all possible. Some examples would be Llanowar Wastes , Hissing Quagmire , Overgrown Tomb , Twilight Mire , and Nurturing Peatland . For tribal synergy, also consider Path of Ancestry as well as, if you can afford the hefty price tag, Cavern of Souls to help protect your spiders.

Another suggestion to capitalize on ETB abilities would be Conjurer's Closet . This lets you flicker a creature at the end of your turns, so you get continuous value! That all said, I like what you have going so far! Hope you have fun with your first deck! :D

Why use Yargle, Glutton of Urborg ? Sure he's flavorful, but it's not a good card. I know you can find a budget five drop ( Mulldrifter ) that gives you better value with Muldrotha than Yargle.

The rest of my suggestions are budget lands to help to improve the manabase:

• Command Tower
• Opulent Palace
• Llanowar Wastes
• Yavimaya Coast
• Exotic Orchard
• Ash Barrens
• Woodland Cemetery
• Sunken Hollow

Lands to consider cutting:

• Simic Guildgate
• Dismal Backwater
• Foul Orchard
• Thornwood Falls
• Vivid Grove
• Warped Landscape
• Skyline Cascade
• 1x Forest

Nice Deck, Abzan is one of the best tri colors for tokens, the only problem I can see regards the lands. I would consider adding some of the following lands: Godless Shrine , Temple Garden , Sunpetal Grove , Isolated Chapel , Silent Clearing , Concealed Courtyard , Marsh Flats , Fetid Heath , Caves of Koilos , Nurturing Peatland , Blooming Marsh , Llanowar Wastes , Verdant Catacombs , Twilight Mire , Scattered Groves , Razorverge Thicket , Canopy Vista , Brushland , Windswept Heath , Wooded Bastion , and possibly Prismatic Vista . Having these should help your deck out a lot! If you found any of these suggestions helpful I would appreciate it if you upvote my deck: A Deal With the Devil EDH! Nonetheless, I hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a nice day!

Hey, nice start, several good cards and interactions here.

The manabase alone tells me this is a budget deck, but there's some budget upgrades to consider for the manabase. Your relying on basic lands which is fine on a budget, but if playing a lot of basic lands then consider adding lands that have interaction with basic lands?

• Ash Barrens
• Prairie Stream
• Sunken Hollow
• Canopy Vista
• Port Town : cares about Plains and Islands.
• Fortified Village : cares about Forests and Plains.
• Choked Estuary : cares about Islands and Swamps.
• Woodland Cemetery : cares about Swamps and Forests.

Stream, Hollow and Vista have interaction with Farseek . Farseek being a two drop land ramp spell that can get a dual land is good when playing four colors. Other budget lands to consider adding:

• Llanowar Wastes
• Yavimaya Coast
• Mirrodin's Core : uses counters, it can be proliferated.
• Scattered Groves : has interaction with Farseek, can be a less expensive replacement for Canopy Vista .
• Irrigated Farmland : has interaction with Farseek.

---

Additional mana sources that use counters thus have interaction with proliferate is helpful ramp:

• Astral Cornucopia
• Everflowing Chalice
• Crystalline Crawler : a creature and a mana rock, don't have to tap it to make mana which is very good.
• Gyre Sage

If going heavy on the +1/+1 counters theme then consider these cards that are within the budget here:

• Hadana's Climb  ^Flip: repeatable source of counters, Winged Temple of Orazca with Atraxa or a creature with a lot of counters can be a win condition.
• Simic Ascendancy : repeatable source of counters and can be a win condition.
• Winding Constrictor
• Good-Fortune Unicorn
• Sage of Hours : extra turns by removing counters, good interaction with Forgotten Ancient .
• Skullbriar, the Walking Grave
• Hardened Scales
• Cathars' Crusade

Cards that give you repeatable sources of counters should be priority over cards that only give you a one time source of counters. Repeatable effects especially if they don't cost any mana are very good in Commander.

---

More repeatable sources of proliferate can be helpful:

• Evolution Sage
• Grateful Apparition

Other good budget cards to consider adding:

• Eladamri's Call
• Beast Within
• Swords to Plowshares
• Deathrite Shaman
• Brainstorm
• Ponder
• Fellwar Stone
• Arcane Denial

I offer more advice if you would like. Good luck with your deck.

Hey, nice upgrade of the precon, but consider cutting a lot of the fat for more low mana cost support?

There's 16 four drops here includes Atraxa and there's 12 five drops. This is too many four/five drops especially four drops because the main one you want to play is Atraxa since she's in the Command Zone. My advice is consider cutting a lot of these four and five drops for lower CMC cards that are within the budget here?

• Gyre Sage
• Everflowing Chalice
• Birds of Paradise
• Nature's Lore
• Farseek
• Mystic Remora
• Eladamri's Call
• Diabolic Intent
• Sage of Hours
• Skullbriar, the Walking Grave
• Good-Fortune Unicorn
• Evolutionary Escalation
• Orzhov Advokist
• Grateful Apparition
• Deathrite Shaman
• Eternal Witness

Higher mana cost cards to consider cutting:

• Enduring Scalelord
• Ajani, Valiant Protector
• Armorcraft Judge
• Citadel Siege
• Fuel for the Cause
• Herald of Secret Streams
• Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker
• Angel of Invention
• Cauldron of Souls
• Elite Scaleguard
• Inexorable Tide
• Verdurous Gearhulk
• Vulturous Zombie
• Ajani Goldmane
• Bloodspore Thrinax

Other cards to consider adding:

• Mirrodin's Core
• Llanowar Wastes
• Yavimaya Coast
• Ash Barrens
• Simic Ascendancy
• Ponder
• Tamiyo, Field Researcher
• Swords to Plowshares
• Arcane Denial
• Anguished Unmaking
• Beast Within

Other cards to consider cutting:

• Vivid Grove
• Vivid Meadow
• Vivid Marsh
• 1x Plains
• 1x Forest
• Servant of the Scale
• Tuskguard Captain
• Hungering Hydra
• Darksteel Ingot
• Mortify
• Putrefy

I offer more advice if you have questions about any of these suggestions. Good luck with your deck.

SideBae on ooze tribal redux

1 month ago

I see a few areas for improvement:

So one of the main reasons to play green is the mana dorks. You should at least be running Birds of Paradise , Llanowar Elves and Elves of Deep Shadow , and you should probably be running a few more as well. Fyndhorn Elves , Elvish Mystic , Priest of Titania , Arbor Elf , Bloom Tender , Boreal Druid and Deathrite Shaman are also worth considering.

Card-draw is a big part of EDH. Distant Melody is good in any tribal deck, and depending on your typical board presence Slate of Ancestry may be worth considering, too. Fact or Fiction , Painful Truths , Treasure Cruise , Dig Through Time , Night's Whisper , Windfall , Harmonize and Concentrate are also good draw-spells. Sylvan Library and Phyrexian Arena are good pieces of permanent-based card-advantage. Mystic Remora is excellent, if transient, and at more inexperienced tables it can easily be an Ancestral Recall .

Your mana-base is worth rethinking, too. Overgrown Tomb , Breeding Pool and Watery Grave are all relatively affordable these days (because of the reprint), and City of Brass and Mana Confluence are worth running in a three-color deck, too. Depending on your budget, you may want to run fetch-lands like Polluted Delta or Prismatic Vista ; lower-budget options include Bad River , Flood Plain or the other slow-fetches. Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse , too. Llanowar Wastes , Yavimaya Coast , Underground River , Waterlogged Grove , Nurturing Peatland , Hinterland Harbor , Woodland Cemetery and Drowned Catacomb are more good dual-lands.

If you do end up running any sort of fetches, you'll have a bunch of shuffle-effects. This means Brainstorm becomes a powerful spell, as you can shuffle away bad cards while digging for the ones you want. Ponder , Preordain and Impulse are great as well.

Tutors are great -- then you don't even need to bother digging, as you can just go get what you want. Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor are the gold standard, but as a pair they'll likely run you around $100. Diabolic Tutor , Lim-Dul's Vault and Dark Petition are all far more accessible. Mystical Tutor and Worldly Tutor are also good, though I don't think they'd be as good as the non-restricted tutors.

You also need to consider removal. Toxic Deluge , Pernicious Deed , Damnation , Decree of Pain and Cyclonic Rift are all great boardwipes. Nature's Claim , Krosan Grip , Casualties of War , Assassin's Trophy , Abrupt Decay , Windgrace's Judgment and Ashes to Ashes are good forms of spot-removal.

Narset, Parter of Veils and Ashiok, Dream Render are both powerhouses in EDH. Narset is especially busted if paired with a Windfall .

Speaking of value-town, consider Villainous Wealth . Notion Thief and Eternal Witness are great, too.

Finally, you might want to consider a reanimation package. Entomb or Buried Alive paired with Animate Dead , Reanimate , Dance of the Dead or Necromancy is a great way to get fatties out fast. Reanimating Grave Titan , Massacre Wurm or Inkwell Leviathan can swing the game in your favor real fast.

Good luck!

Dig deeper into the Sultai Morph precon decklist and you can find lot of reason to buy it. The manabase alone may be one of the better manabases for a three color Commander precon. Eleven nonbasic lands ETB untapped which is by precon standards an improvement from past precon manabases.

Why are the Signet lands ( Darkwater Catacombs ) being printed as rare lands? These lands don't actually make mana without having another land/one mana first, this is not an ability that's rare. These should be uncommon since they're much worse than Filter lands ( Sunken Ruins ) which are also rare lands.

Land value in the precon (in order):

• Ash Barrens
• Command Tower
• Sunken Hollow
• Bojuka Bog
• Reliquary Tower
• Thespian's Stage
• Exotic Orchard
• Llanowar Wastes
• Yavimaya Coast

I'm happy to see Ash Barrens reprinted because it's land that should be in every Commander precon. There's 17 two drops which is an improvement for precon deck building. Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer , Scroll of Fate and Kadena's Silencer look like good cards for morph. Silencer will however not hold at $10 of value it will decrease a lot. I don't know enough about the 13 other new cards to evaluate their value in the precon.

Valuable reprints in the Sultai deck (in order):

• Seedborn Muse
• Tempt with Discovery
• Thran Dynamo
• Sol Ring
• Strionic Resonator
• Hooded Hydra
• Sakura-Tribe Elder
• Reality Shift
• Grim Haruspex
• Ixidron

Some notable exclusions for a morph theme:

• Dream Chisel : going to spike.
• Ixidor, Reality Sculptor : going to spike especially because of Scroll of Fate .
• Voidmage Prodigy : going to spike.
• Riptide Entrancer : going to spike.
• Birchlore Rangers : never been reprinted.
• Aphetto Alchemist : never been reprinted.
• Whisperwood Elemental
• Primordial Mist
• Zoetic Cavern
• Sultai Emissary
