DreadKhan on Super Shivan

1 month ago

There are some ways to tutor out the Shivan, one is Gamble, another is Magda, Brazen Outlaw. Gamble works well with recursion effects, which is a niche area for White. Zirilan of the Claw is a really weird one, iirc you can get around the exile effect by flickering the Shivan, at which point it's yours forever. Flicker effects are sometimes useful to protect the Shivan, so they're not 1 trick ponies and you could run more than one in a deck without them being superfluous. The worst might be Magda, but there are ways to generate 5 treasures and that's all you need, and some dwarves have amazing tap abilities like Dwarven Miner, a move that will annoy your opponent without really winning you the game, it's using your opponent's lands to dig out Shivan. Another good Dwarf could be Dwarven Blastminer, Dwarven Driller, Storm-Kiln Artist can make treasures too, some maybe options are Axgard Cavalry, Bomb Squad, Dwarven Armorer, and Mine Layer. There are some terrible options but I'm not going to bother with them. If you want a pretty competitive feeling Shivan Dragon deck, you might look up some Magda cEDH lists, that's a fairly competitive way to dig out a non-Legendary dragon.

Green is another great colour to look at if you want to dig out creatures, if you used something like Atla Palani, Nest Tender you can dig out creatures from your deck, guaranteeing access to Shivan eventually (if you run very few creatures you only need to pop a few eggs and you're guaranteed to hit) and she'd give you access to Green, which has it's own power buffing effects that can be quite notable. If you throw in a few cards that shuffle your graveyard back into your library (Green is great at this), you can recur your Shivan through Atla, so it can be pretty resilient.

I'm not disagreeing with Black as an option, just throwing another idea out there for you to think about.

The coolness of this deck idea makes me vaguely curious about a Red heavy Dragon Tyrant Atla Palani deck, just run stuff to make a nutso Dragon Tyrant and take over with your beefy beater.

Light Paws is a crazy good commander. You should check out my version of bad fox. Light-Paws, Big Stomps, Budget Price You should include totem enchantments. The key to make a truely powerful one is to make sure each cmc has a few of the tools you need so that each card can pull the answer you need.

Personally I find this commander legit unfair to play against given its tutor and cheat out cards mechanics, but everyone who says mono colored commanders are all weak probably need to see this deck.

Magda, Brazen Outlaw is equally broken in its own way.

seshiro_of_the_orochi on What is your favorite tribe, …

Snakes has to be the answer. If you want a story, read the description on My snake deck (that title took me two weeks...).

Besides that, most of my decks are tribal. I have a multitude of 60-card tribal decks of the most obscure kinds. From cats to minotaurs over turtles, bats, crocodiles to satyrs, knights and warriors I have a massive pool of those. And even many of my EDH-decks are tribal. I have a Syrix, Carrier of the Flame phoenix tribal, I recently built Magda, Brazen Outlaw, I have a RGWU giant deck...and I recently starting building Kibo, Uktabi Prince. And I'm sure I forgot a lot here.

So, one could say I like tribal.

Hail and Well Met Fellow Dihada player.

I know you said you don't want to spend anymore on this deck, so a budget include that you have a chance at already have that I'd like to humbly submit, is Magda, Brazen Outlaw.

She is probably one of the best cards in a Dihada deck, admittedly I combo her with Maskwood Nexus to be able to tutor for everything, but her ability is still pretty darn strong, even if all she does is sit on the sideline while you -3 for Treasures.

Anyway, just a thought.

I take it Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer is excluded due to price?

You might consider these too: Iron Myr, Magda, Brazen Outlaw, Wily Goblin. These all get Winota out a turn faster, and then can attack the next turn and trigger her ability.

Max_Hammer on Mardu Treasures

Hello friend! I have some suggestions! I had way too much time today, so here you go.

Absolute must adds

Relatively cheap, potent, and just perfect upgrades.

• Anointed Procession double the treasures, double the constructs, double the fun.

• Inspiring Statuary is going to make all of your spells cheaper without making you sacrifice artifacts.

• Oni-Cult Anvil is going to go hand-in-hand with your commander by making all of these tokens.

• Grim Hireling does make a lot more treasures, it’s going to be more useful as super annoying removal.

• Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast isn’t budget, but one murder a turn is a good deal.

• Ghirapur AEther Grid is super good. When you have untapped tokens, why not use them?

Making more goodies

This bit is, of course, focused on making as many treasures as your board can bear.

• Dockside Extortionist makes so many treasures, aaaaah! But, y’know, also stupid expensive.

• Seize the Spotlight is a way to hold your opponent’s creatures hostage! And since there are plenty of sacrifice outlets, you can just throw it away after you’re done with it.

• Life Insurance, Scion of Opulence, Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge and Pitiless Plunderer both net you tokens for sacrificing creatures (your Commander’s whole thing!!)

• The Reaver Cleaver is gold. Yes to all of this. Trample and +1/+1 is alright, but the loads of tokens will be really sweet.

• Blood Money is a board wipe, but you get even more treasures afterwards.

• Monologue Tax makes three more treasures a round, more or less.

• Bolas's Citadel can be a wincon on its own.

• Descent into Avernus is some snazzy treasure creation, but also pretty dangerous. Use with care!

• Skullport Merchant and Dockside Chef both give plenty of card draw, in exchange for a little mana.

• Black Market Connections gives you pretty much whatever you need at the moment.

• Ancient Copper Dragon makes a million treasures, plus he's a dragon.

• Hoard Hauler can protect a weaker creature that you can’t attack with and still get you more tokens.

• Prosperous Partnership is extremely useful when on the defensive. If you must have all of your big bad creatures untapped on your opponent’s combat, then you’re wasting potential! Just marry some of your creatures, they won’t mind.

• Trove of Temptation forces your opponents into a potentially uncomfortable position while giving you treasures in the meanwhile.

• Storm-Kiln Artist is a good ground defender, since it’ll kill most whatever is thrown at it, but it’ll also make plenty of tokens!

• Unexpected Windfall, Inspired Tinkering, Pirate's Pillage, Deadly Dispute, Big Score, and Seize the Spoils are all just draw but with extra token creation.

• Fake Your Own Death revives a creature and gives you a treasure.

• Contract Killing and Grim Bounty are both murders but with extra tokens, which is very nice.

• Sudden Breakthrough is a buff with first strike that makes an extra treasure.

• Sticky Fingers gets you tokens when you attack.

• Treasure Vault is here for obvious reasons. Pump it with enough mana and you’re set for life.

• Ancient Den, Great Furnace, and Vault of Whispers aren’t treasure tokens, but they are artifacts, which is just going to give you a little boost to some of your mechanics and means that you can tutor them with cards that weren’t intended for such.

• Mimic, Glittering Stockpile, and Goldhound are all just treasures. Nothing special, but still something to note.

• Smoke Spirits' Aid seems useless… Unless you board wipe after. Could be lots of damage and lots of extra treasure.

• Undercity Scrounger is okay filler, if you need it.

What to do with your treasures

Great, now you have all of these treasures, now what are you going to do with them?

Frogmite, Lens Flare, Scale of Chiss-Goria, Tooth of Chiss-Goria, Mycosynth Golem, Slag Strider, Furnace Dragon, and Myr Enforcer are all notable cards you could add, since they pretty much become free after a while, though mostly pretty useless.

Forsworn Paladin is pretty good token generation early game, but really shines with the second ability where it can instantly punish anyone blocking or attacking you recklessly.

Marionette Master is going to pack a punch.

Dargo, the Shipwrecker is super cheap for a 7/5 with trample.

Enraged Giant, Freejam Regent, Battle at the Bridge, Saheeli's Directive, Herald of Anguish, and Organic Extinction are all pretty solid additions, since they don’t make you sacrifice anything in exchange for it.

Ruthless Technomancer has a million combos with (like Dockside Extortionist+sac outlet) and is just pretty good on its own.

Leonin Elder is just one life, but when you’re playing a treasure deck, that one life will definitely add up.

Underhanded Designs is a murder or a poke engine, which is very snazzy.

Glaze Fiend is pretty scary, considering that it has trample.

Dragonspark Reactor could be a bit of removal in your back pocket or your wincon.

Arcbound Crusher’s design team didn’t anticipate just how many artifacts I was planning on throwing onto the field.

Professional Face-Breaker is just like Grim Hireling, in that it makes treasure tokens, but more importantly, it gives you something else. You get a load of impulse draw, which is really nice when you have loads of mana.

Magda, Brazen Outlaw is just an artifact tutor, really. Though, there are plenty of treasure loving dragons you could also fish for. (:

Kalain, Reclusive Painter loves treasures, giving everyone big buffs.

Swashbuckler Extraordinaire can give anything that might be sensitive to dying double strike for a big final push. That, or just give one big boy double strike.

Their Number is Legion gets you lots of life and lots of tokens.

Necron Overlord is just a worse Ghirapur, but it’s still gonna hurt.

Street Urchin is the same idea as the above.

Armix, Filigree Thrasher could be some annoying removal, especially early game.

Hellkite Igniter is a big boy that, if left unblocked, could be a one hit kill.

Feedback Bolt is a big, powerful spell. To put it simply: ouch.

Fain, the Broker can make treasures, can make +1/+1’s, and can make little spooky boys. The best type of boys. Great utility and variety overall.

Rain of Riches is big. One cascading spell a turn, whichever one you want? Imagine dropping Feedback Bolt and cascading into Hellkite Igniter.

Captain Lannery Storm is innocent… Until you leave her unblocked like a dummy.

Concussive Bolt can be an easy kill, letting you get as much damage as you want through.

Dispense Justice is just like saying “Fuck your voltron.”

Construct tribal specifically

It seems you also like having and sacrificing constructs, so here’s a bit to let you do more of that, if you’d prefer to have a construct deck over a treasure token deck.

• Solarion and Suncrusher both utilize your ability to make any color of mana and are stronger for it.

• Digsite Engineer is going to make a lot of big creatures for you.

• Flamewright and Sokenzan Smelter are going to make plenty of tiny constructs for you.

• Scrapyard Recombiner is a good tutor for you.

• Hangarback Walker, Gemini Engine, Traxos, Scourge of Kroog, Scuttling Doom Engine, Crackdown Construct are all just big boys.

• Scrap Trawler might be kind of annoying? Idunno how well it would work, I’ll let you judge that.

• Adaptive Automaton, Steel Overseer, Alibou, Ancient Witness, Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer, and Chief of the Foundry make all of your boys bigger and scarier.

• Epochrasite is great, since you can sacrifice it again and again.

• Arcbound Worker and Sparring Construct are both little boys to sacrifice,

• Ancient Stone Idol isn’t a construct, it’s a golem, but it makes a construct.

• Skittering Surveyor, Manakin, Hedron Crawler, and Millikin are all very good for mana.

• Shambling Suit and Slag Fiend are big boys that are really just a massive menace.

• Noxious Gearhulk and Chaos Defiler are removals with a big, mean body.

• Phyrexian Soulgorger is a big boy. Granted, if you let him live for too long he’ll eat your entire army, but for a little while, especially while you’re pumping out constructs, this is a good deal.

• Indulge / Excess makes creature tokens, sure, sure, but mostly makes a lot of treasures.

What to take out

• Shared Animosity will give constructs a boost, but there really isn’t a specific theme across creature types aside from that, and your constructs are better used for chump blocking or just turning them into scrap. Ignore this if you’re going for more of a construct tribal sort of thing.

• Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip is a good card, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it’s really necessary.

• Rakdos Charm could be replaced with something better as far as artifact removal or graveyard hate. Nihil Spellbomb would be good graveyard hate and Generous Gift is just a good white staple.

• Comet Storm is fun, but Crackle with Power is more fun.

wallisface on what is my purpose?

7 months ago

Some thoughts:

• any deck running Asmo should be playing the full playset of both it and The Underworld Cookbook. I would suggest against stuff like Goblin Engineer to assemble these pieces as it’s slow and easy to disrupt. Same goes for the cat-cauldron combo, run a playset of both or none at all.

• It definately feels like you’re doing waay too much here, and it’s going to cause your deck to function very clumsily. I would suggest ditching all of Old Gnawbone, Shimmer Dragon, Goldspan Dragon and Hellkite Tyrant (they’re all painfully expensive mana-wise, and none of them really do enough. Imo you need your payoffs to capitalise on what your deck is doing, like Sieve and Troll-King do… just run more of those), as well as Goblin Engineer (adds more moving parts to an already complicated archetype), Magda, Brazen Outlaw (again, adds more unnecessary clutter), Ignoble Hierarch (if you need more mana after the Goose, then your curve is too high. Also, your curve is too high), and Tireless Tracker (it’s not helping your gameplan in any way that’s meaningful).

• i would also suggest ditching Chord of Calling - if you’re running mostly playsets, as you should be, this card becomes more clumsy in this deck than helpful. Something like Unearth will prove to be much more useful at keeping stuff on-board.

• assuming you’re wanting Asmo to perform her best, you really need a playset of Ovalchase Daredevil to help profit from the discard triggers.

• have you considered Chatterfang, Squirrel General? Might be useful seeing as you’re leaning quite heavily into green.
