Mardu Siegebreaker

Creature — Human Warrior

Deathtouch, haste

When this enters, exile up to one other target creature you control until this leaves the battlefield.

Whenever this attacks, for each opponent, create a tapped token that's a copy of the exiled card attacking that opponent. At the beginning of your end step, sacrifice those tokens. (This is a linked ability, linked to the ability on the second paragraph of this card. You may only create tokens of exiled cards if those cards were exiled via the ability in the second paragraph.)

Thank you for all the kind words too ... but honestly, it was your earlier comment that set me on this path, so thank YOU!!!

Yeah, Martial Coup is definitely better for this deck. I think I must have been comparing it to other Mass Disruption options when I cut it, rather than comparing it to other Go Wide options ... derp!

Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon has been fine so far, but thanks much for the thought; I'll definitely keep an eye on her. FWIW, Mardu Siegebreaker is my current "Hmmmmmm ..." card, mostly becuase it's so inconsistent ... amazing with something like Mirkwood Bats on the board, but super-frustrating with a board full of Legendaries and Tokens!

The token doublers are GREAT, but I'm very consciously avoiding them in this deck, just because I hate accidental infinite combos (in case it's not obvious, Exalted Sunborn or Anointed Procession go infinte with Spawning Pit and Pitiless Plunder on the board). I mean, I'm absolutely happy to run infinite combos, but I just hate it when they happen accidentally in a lower-Bracket deck ... if I'm doing combos, I'm going all-in! :-)
Similarly, I'm not running Luminous Broodmoth (2-card combo with any Free Sac), Restoration Angel (2-card combo with Mardu Siegebreaker), Stridehangar Automaton or Forsaken Miner (3-card combos with Pitiless Plunderer and any Free Sac), or Aggravated Assault (3-card combo with Mardu Siegebreaker and Professional Face-Breaker).
All that said, I've REALLY been enjoying working on this deck though for my friend, so I think I'm almost certainly going to try building this as an all-in combo deck (at a higher Bracket and with a higher budget) for myself.

Fanatical Devotion is a fantastic card and I generally try to run both. But if I can only find room for one, it's almost always Reconnaissance. Partly because it always fits nicely on curve (especially with a 3-mana Commander), but mostly because I find the pseudo-Vigilance to be so useful in multi-player.

Great catch on Ashnod's Altar; I'm not sure why I trimmed it. It maybe combo'd with some card that's no longer there? Or was maybe a purely accidental cut? Either way, you'll see it back in the deck soon(tm)!

Good call on Thunder of Unity ... I'll force it into some test games (I seriously can't recall ever having cast it, lol) and form an opinion.

Thanks again for all the thoughtful and kind comments! And good luck (and good skill!) on your remaining finals!

Cheers!

Thank you for all the kind words! Also, thank you for reminding me of Enduring Courage! I had a bunch of Haste enablers in an early version of the deck, and at 4 mana, he was one of the first to go. But he'd be a great target for Mardu Siegebreaker, and I'm excited to give him another look. Especially since the friend I'm building this deck for is a dog person! :-)

IN: Windcrag Siege, Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate, Mardu Siegebreaker

A few minor updates with newer cards that fit the theme a little better and give me some commander redundancy.

Thank you for stopping by CommanderNeyo. I forgot to pick up an Ironwill Forger during my most recent round of pickups. I think it's a cool card, but I'm considering it a bit more for my Satya, Aetherflux Genius deck.

In regards to Mardu Siegebreaker, I was bummed it wasn't a Legendary. I brewed up a Rule Zero deck for it recently for funsies. I'm considering publishing it.

Thank you! I'm hoping we will record in the next week or two. I'm thinking my friend and will do our Tarkir review episode first. If you're interested, I can send you the link to our channel on Spotify. So far we just have an Episode 0 intro, & Episode 1 where chatted Brackets.

I'm curious what your thoughts on Ironwill Forger are? Giving Myriad the turn it enters (assuming Isshin is up) seems like it could be good, but I'm afraid it's just a worse Mardu Siegebreaker, which also didn't make the cut.

Been lurking and enjoying the updates, and look forward to hearing the podcast!
