legendofa on Using ChatGPT to generate a …

To address this primer specifically:

"This is my Commander deck with a focus on utilizing the high power of the Commander to trigger effects that scale with a creature's power. The deck strategy revolves around four main themes:"

• This is a good capture. The first sentence is a little unwieldy, but that's a style point rather than a content point.

Token Generation: The deck includes cards that can generate tokens based on the power of a creature. Examples include Fungal Sprouting and Ghoulcaller Gisa.

• I count five cards that create tokens, and one of them doesn't create scaling tokens. In my opinion, four cards isn't a "main theme."

Card Draw: There are cards that allow the player to draw cards equal to a creature's power, such as Disciple of Bolas and Momentous Fall.

• This is an okay comment. While it ties into the power scaling, the act of drawing isn't a main theme. It's card advantage, but it doesn't rely on drawing the way Queza, Augur of Agonies does.

Power/Toughness Manipulation: Some cards create creatures whose power and/or toughness are based on the power of another creature. For example, Miming Slime creates an ooze token with power and toughness equal to the power of the creature with the greatest power among creatures you control.

• This comment is somewhat inaccurate. It gets the closest to the core "power matters" theme, but P/T manipulation as I interpret it isn't present. P/T isn't being manipulated, just tracked. The rest of this point is redundant with the first "main theme."

Life Gain/Loss: Some cards in the deck, such as Essence Harvest and Rite of Consumption, can cause a player to gain or lose life equal to a creature's power.

• This is a fine capture, if somewhat underdeveloped.

This deck also has a good amount of recursion and removal cards, along with cheap ramp to ensure that the commander can come out as early as turn 4. For instance, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Hell's Caretaker can bring creatures back from the graveyard, and Beast Within and Sever the Bloodline can deal with problematic permanents on the opponent's side of the field. For ramp, the deck includes staples like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and a suite of mana dorks (Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves) and land fetch cards (Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wayfarer's Bauble).

• The formatting in this section is good, but Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's ability is misinterpreted. Again, the substance is kind of missing, basically saying "These are cards that are in this deck" without describing how or when to use them. What is a "problematic permanent" for this deck? What creatures would you want to recur?

Two possible additions!

Ivy Elemental is essentially interchangeable with Slime Molding, but notably is immune to Spell Pierce!! Since you're almost always tapping out to get your beater in play, that's a huge level of protection.

Miming Slime is a cheap way to just copy your big, scary slime for a measly 3 mana!

I LOVE this deck! I plan on making a handful of modifications and buying one for myself :)

First Look

Update: Story is on, first chapter here

Update2: Where to Find previews

Update3: Image Gallery

Wall of text for my thoughts Show

Jin-Gitaxias: Use proliferate to turbo trough the chapters; there's probably some combo to be had. Actually kinda dissapointed that it doesn't bounce Phyrexians? It makes it randomly bad vs some opponents, and you could just recast your own Phyrexians with the third chapter anyway. (Also, the Saga side isn't Legendary.)

Breach the Multiverse: Not super exciting, but I like that black is getting more utilitarian mill, especially for the purpose of stealing stuff.

Ghalta and Mavren: Doesn't have to attack to trigger. Maybe take a page out of OG Ghalta's book and use cards like Fungal Sprouting and Miming Slime?

Heliod: No noncreature devotion shenanigans or indestructible! Guess he hasn't quite recovered from his Punishment. At least compleation gives +2 toughness. Anyway in EDH, Teferi's Puzzle Box sound pretty fun although continously paying the transform cost in addition to commander tax feels rough. Note that it's the sum total of the cards all opponents have drawn! (Also, I expect Daxos to take over as sun god, even if he's a whole lot more boring.)

Omnath: IDK why they made red center in the art while black just another hand, but whatever. As I understand it, it doesn't need it to be three or more different mana symbols, so you'll probably want to lean heavily black? Honestly, while the flavor is good, this card is kinda dissapointing seeing it's been effectively anticipated since 2015; mostly a fancy Phyrexian Arena that sometimes ramps.

Goro-Goro and Satoru: A french vanilla token or three doesn't excite me, but it's still more interesting than Ardoz as far as haste tribal goes.

Katilda and Lier: I have quite a bit to write about this, going to have to go in its own post.

Slimefoot and Squee: You know, the whole point of the last Squee story is that he gave up on respawning. Anyway, let's be grateful that Food Chain exiles instead of sacrifices, especially with Embalmer's Tools around.

Wheel and Deal: Seeing as New Capenna is a modern times-ish plane, I don't get why they didn't have the art feature actual playing cards.

The flavor sure rides the ongoing multiverse trend, but can't really blame MtG of all franchies for doing it.

Gitmog eating phyrexians seems like a fast track to compleation, but maybe Thalia's angelic spear provides immunity? Can't say the same for various other miscelanous beasties who rely on biting and such.

I'm guessing the various "Invasion of..."-art is for Battles? IDK about the wider dimensions though. (Also, Esper seems to be joining the other shards on the defense, you'd think they'd welcome their new metal overlords.)

The set symbol + the art for Collector Boosters seems to indicate that Elspeth will get Godsend back? Maybe fused with Luxior?

Judging from the art for the Commander Deck Growing Threat ({B}{W}), it seems Brimaz got compleated.

Oh no, Ragavan reprint

Path of Ancestry can give you fixing along with card selection. Miming Slime gives you yet another fatty to push through with, and Overwhelming Encounter will help your oozes slime your opponents. Mystic Genesis could help to stop an opponent’s threats while also giving you an ooze and Deathsprout is great removal plus ramp in one card. I find with my ooze tribal deck the key is protecting your board and also getting your giant oozes through. Hope that help. It’s slime time!

Try Gelatinous Genesis, Miming Slime, also Consuming Blob would be really strong in tribal.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Gigantosaurus, Primeval Protector and Miming Slime? The land is kinda pricey though.

Yo I really like that Ooze Garden tech! +1!

Yours is a better version of the Grothama, All-Devouring gimmick deck I built that does the similar things.

Thoughts on Outland Colossus, Wolfir Silverheart, Fungal Sprouting, Miming Slime, Traverse the Outlands, Cream of the Crop... maybe Ravenous Slime for graveyards?

Also random stuff like Werebear?

I like that Phytotitan might be pretty good here.

And Birthing Pod might be pretty strong with other costs less cards like Ancient Stone Idol, Primeval Protector, etc.

For a token deck, you don't make very many tokens.

The very best token producer in Pauper is Sprout Swarm. This card is often a win condition in even non-token decks because of how powerful it is. I cannot recommend this card enough.

Battle Screech makes many tokens for very little effort. Fliers are a great bonus, too. This is another one of the best token producers out there.

In terms of card advantage and having a sticky board, Cenn's Enlistment is extremely powerful. It can turn all your late game lands into 1/1s to reinforce your board.

Other decent token producers are Icatian Crier, Maul Splicer (good top-end), Miming Slime (good with pump effects), Penumbra Spider, Raise the Alarm, Scatter the Seeds, Selesnya Evangel, Slime Molding (good with populate), Sporemound, Triplicate Spirits, Wake the Reflections and Walker of the Grove. There are few other good ones, but these see more play.

I would recommend running most/all the soul sisters. Soul Warden, Essence Warden, Soul's Attendant and Anointer Priest are all fairly strong.

Ivy Lane Denizen is a great choice for you. Most of the tokens you'll make will be green, which will in turn grow whatever creature you want (or it basically turns all your 1/1s into 2/2s, which is huge).

Rampant Growth could easily be Sakura-Tribe Elder, which is basically the same card but with a 1/1 body for free that you can attack and block with.

I understand you want to maybe cycle them, but Safe Passage can be a big blowout in your favour.

In terms of cuts, I would think about cutting a lot of the non-token stuff. The cards that tap down creatures seem like a good place to start, since ideally you are going wider than your opponent anyways. Ardenvale Tactician and Expose Evil are easy cuts. Next, some of the more vanilla creatures that would be better served as more token producers, like Aven Skirmisher, Healer's Hawk, Faerie Guidemother, Pilgrim's Eye (you don't need this when playing Green), Sedge Scorpion and Voracious Typhon. Then, in your enchantments Bonds of Faith and Squire's Devotion seem like weaker options. For protection spells, you could be doing much better than Flicker of Fate.

I hope some of this helps you!
