MortisAngelus on Persist combos

6 days ago

This looks nice, but also overly complex and expensive. You dont need this many persist creatures, especially not a biggie like Restless Apparition and Sifter of Skulls . At the moment when you hit your combo, they dont matter. You want persist with an effect (like murderous redcap). So my suggestion are the following:

Take out all Sifter of Skulls and Restless Apparition , then add 4x Altar of the Brood and 4x Carrion Feeder for an additional sac-outlet.

Also, get rid of all the tap-lands and add Caves of Koilos , Llanowar Wastes and Brushland . Not that I think you need them with all the shocklands you have.

Anyways, looks great and thanks for showing me Vizier of Remedies . That could replace Solemnity or Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit in my own deck.

Hey, consider Sol Ring ? It's a staple mana rock in Commander. Consider less Swamps and more Golgari dual lands? Green mana is much more important than black. 11 Swamps really reduces the consistency of having a green source turn one for a green one drop mana dork. You don't want to draw all Swamps and no Forests.

You can speed up game play and help color fixing by adding more dual lands that can ETB untapped:

• Llanowar Wastes
• Undergrowth Stadium
• Overgrown Tomb
• Nurturing Peatland
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Verdant Catacombs : gets Overgrown Tomb .
• Windswept Heath : gets Overgrown Tomb .
• Darkbore Pathway  ^Flip
• Unclaimed Territory

Others:

• Twilight Mire
• Woodland Cemetery
• Reflecting Pool
• Blooming Marsh
• Tainted Wood

Several of these lands could replace lands that always ETB tapped: Foul Orchard , Golgari Guildgate , Jungle Hollow , Golgari Rot Farm . Elves of Deep Shadow is very helpful since can make black mana. Deathrite Shaman if playing multiplayer since can exile lands from opponents graveyards.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, nice upgrades to the precon.

Green mana is much more important than black mana with Elves. Having an equal amount of Forests and Swamps can be problematic since you could draw all Swamps and no Forests which will be difficult to cast Elves. Elves of Deep Shadow is a helpful one drop mana Elf because can make black mana. Elvish Harbinger is an Elf tutor and can make black mana. Consider cutting some Swamps for more Golgari dual lands?

• Llanowar Wastes
• Undergrowth Stadium
• Overgrown Tomb
• Unclaimed Territory
• Nurturing Peatland
• Twilight Mire
• Woodland Cemetery
• Blooming Marsh
• Tainted Wood
• Path of Ancestry
• Golgari Rot Farm

Hey, well done on such a low budget. Less than $100 is impressive :)

Some $1-$2 or less budget cards to consider adding:

• Miara, Thorn of the Glade : she triggers when Elf tokens die.
• Pyre of Heroes : Elf Birthing Pod .
• Pact of the Serpent : mass draw with Elves.
• Llanowar Wastes : ETB untapped.
• Fallen Ideal : enchant Jarad to give him flying evasion to do Commander damage. Is a no mana cost sac outlet to make Jarad huge while also triggering Poison-Tip, Elderfang, Savra, Nightblade, etc.
• Paradise Druid : could replace a Swamp.
• Golgari Signet : could replace a Swamp.
• Lys Alana Huntmaster : another source of repeatable Elf tokens.
• Jarad's Orders : put an Elf in your graveyard and one into your hand.
• Temple of Malady

Cards to consider cutting:

• 3x Swamp
• Deathsprout
• Casualties of War
• Masked Admirers
• Golgari Germination
• Necrotic Wound
• Rhys the Exiled
• Uncage the Menagerie

Good luck with your deck.

Nerdytimesorwhatever on Korvold's Light-Speed Garbage (cEDH)

- Deflecting Swat

Often if I have my commander on the stack, I am winning the game and cant use this to protect casting Korvold.

- Karplusan Forest

Less red prevalence.

+ Necropotence

Third Naus, I didn't include it because I couldnt find my promo lol and EOT is rough. Its functioning as a CA engine as often as a wincon tbh. Probably not worth the changes.

+ Llanowar Wastes

Higher black prevalence.

Considering:

Emergence Zone . With Krosan Wayfarer and Crop Rotation , it may be worthwhile to include EZ. Im not looking forward to less colored mana in my starting hands though.

Hey, good edit so far. Nice Ezuri, Renewal, Shadow and Warmaster upgrades :)

What's your budget for upgrading? The precon has too many Swamps compared to Forests. You've cut some already, but consider cutting more? Green mana is much more important than black mana especially now that you have added more one drop green mana Elves which is another good upgrade. My advice is cut several Swamps for Golgari dual lands especially lands that can ETB untapped.

• Llanowar Wastes
• Unclaimed Territory
• Darkbore Pathway  ^Flip
• Overgrown Tomb
• Undergrowth Stadium
• Twilight Mire
• Tainted Wood

---

Some of the powerful tribal Elves have exploded in price since the release of the precon. If your budget allows these cards are upgrades.

• Joraga Warcaller
• Priest of Titania
• Elvish Harbinger
• Tyvar Kell
• Elvish Champion
• Heritage Druid
• Joraga Treespeaker
• Gilt-Leaf Palace

---

Copperhorn Scout can be another repeatable untap all your creatures effect and it's an one drop Elf. Pair Scout with Magistrate + Lathril to make Scout and Lathril bigger each time you attack. Magistrate first puts counters on Scout that way Scout can survive combat. Scout + Lathril attack which unaps Magistrate to then tap Magistrate to put counters on Lathril.

Staff of Domination is a mana sink/win condition enabler. It's busted because it can untap itself. Use it in combination with a big mana producer such as Archdruid who can make 5 or more mana to make infinite green mana. With infinite green mana you can activate Staff to draw into a mana sink win condition such as Ezuri. Staff can also be used with infinite mana if you have 10 or more Elves with Lathril to repeatedly untap Lathril + 10 Elves making Lathril's tap ability the win condition.

Chord of Calling is powerful with Elves, an instant speed tutor that Elf tokens can help to cast with convoke. Wirewood Herald when it dies is an Elf tutor. Skullclamp is excellent repeatable draw when your Commander can create 1/1 tokens as well as with other repeatable token sources.

Shamanic Revelation and Regal Force are other mass draw effects with Elves. Regal is nice since it's a creature which is easier to tutor for.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, well done in progress on a low budget.

Some budget cards to consider adding:

• Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord : combos with Lord of Extinction for a budget win condition that has interaction with Meren.
• Elves of Deep Shadow
• Fyndhorn Elves
• Elvish Mystic
• Llanowar Elves
• Viscera Seer
• Burning-Rune Demon
• Satyr Wayfinder
• Grisly Salvage
• Village Rites
• Llanowar Wastes
• Tainted Wood
• High Market
• Jund Panorama
• Temple of Malady
• Woodland Chasm

Mana dorks are better than land ramp spells with Meren because they can be ramp first and then be fodder to give her experience. One drop mana dorks could also replace some lands. Viscera Seer is a nice sac outlet since it's a creature who can sac itself. Burning-Rune Demon is a new card from Kaldheim who can be a repeatable Final Parting with a 6/6 flying body.

---

Some cards to consider cutting:

• 8x Swamp
• 1x Forest
• Ambition's Cost
• Kodama's Reach
• Cultivate
• Dimir House Guard
• Corpse Connoisseur
• Aphotic Wisps

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Korvold eats your breakfast

Hey, good start on a budget.

Cards in the maybeboard that are worth adding:

• Whisper, Blood Liturgist
• Altar's Reap
• Costly Plunder
• Solemn Simulacrum
• Fleshbag Marauder
• Apprentice Necromancer
• In Garruk's Wake
• Tainted Wood

Possible others:

• Erebos, Bleak-Hearted
• Smothering Abomination
• Acidic Slime

---

Some budget cards, $1-$2, most are less than $1, at TCGPlayer to consider adding:

• Chandra, Acolyte of Flame : the two Elementals she creates are saced at your end step meaning they will trigger Korvold. Repeatable two Elemental creatures has interaction with Priest of Forgotten Gods and Whisper, Blood Liturgist to activate them on your turn each turn.
• Awakening Zone : Eldrazi Spawn tokens have nice interaction with Korvold since they self-sac to make 1 colorless mana.
• Arasta of the Endless Web : repeatable Spider tokens whenever an opponent casts an instant/sorcery thus can be lots of value in multiplayer Commander. It can even create infinite Spider tokens if an opponent combos by infinite casting.
• Atarka, World Render : creature to reanimate. Korvold is a Dragon and giving him double strike in combination with flying and huge power from counters can outright kill an opponent with Commander damage.
• Sakura-Tribe Elder : can sac itself.
• Caustic Caterpillar : can sac itself.
• Viscera Seer : can sac itself.
• Reassembling Skeleton : can reanimate itself.
• Bloodsoaked Champion : can reanimate itself.
• Harrow
• Village Rites
• Jarad's Orders : tutor for two creatures, one into your hand and the other into your graveyard. Good reanimation enabler or get Reassembling/Champion.
• Victimize
• Poison-Tip Archer : trigger when any other creature dies including opponent's creatures making it good in multiplayer Commander.

---

More ramp is good with Korvold because it can help to cast him faster and then it can be sac fodder to trigger him.

• Sol Ring : the most expensive price card I will suggest, but it's a staple of Commander.
• Harrow
• Sakura-Tribe Elder
• Gruul Signet
• Golgari Signet
• Rakdos Signet
• Mind Stone : can sac itself.
• Commander's Sphere : can sac itself.
• Springbloom Druid

Some budget lands to consider adding:

• Exotic Orchard
• Savage Lands
• Path of Ancestry
• Llanowar Wastes
• Cinder Glade
• Smoldering Marsh
• Jund Panorama
• Evolving Wilds
• Terramorphic Expanse
• Myriad Landscape
• Blighted Woodland
• Ghost Quarter
• Ash Barrens

I offer more advice. Good luck with your deck.
