fluffyeel on Rafiq of the Many

Equipment and other stabtastic things are fun, and your deck has a lot of my usual favorite toys in those colors. I approve. I do have some thoughts that might help you, though, but some of these are playgroup dependent (or meta-dependent):

• From MH3, things like White Orchid Phantom, Estrid's Invocation, Lion Umbra, Glyph Elemental, Indebted Spirit, Triton Wavebreaker, and Monumental Henge all might prove useful.
• Some other fun toys in your colors I quite like include Mirari's Wake, Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist, Privileged Position, Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Yosei, the Morning Star, Exalted Angel, Sublime Archangel, Eiganjo Castle, Council's Judgment, and Questing Beast. These may or may not do things for you, but they might help depending on how crazy things are in your playgroup.
• I'm very surprised you're not running Umezawa's Jitte, given how it likely synergizes with Rafiq (and it's just a really good card).
• Steelshaper's Gift, Fact or Fiction, and Eladamri's Call might help you get to the fun stuff, and Abundance combos really well with Sylvan Library.
• While you aren't really an equipment deck , Puresteel Paladin might both get you cards and makes your equipment quite cheap (and it's easy to turn on in your deck). I also quite like Kaldra Compleat and Batterskull, but I'm not sure if you want to draw that kind of attention.

One of my favorite creatures to use in my Rhys deck is Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist. Drives opponents completely up the wall. Also, would you reconsider main-boarding Aura Shards? It's such an exceptionally power control card in a token deck.

Terrashock on Rin and Seri

1 year ago

Hello, fellow cat and dog enjoyer. I noticed that you pretty much stuffed every cat or dog in naya colors in that you could find but not a single changeling. While changelings might not be satisfying since they don't look like a cat or a dog, they provide great value because they actually trigger Rin & Seris ability twice generating two tokens instead of just one. They also benefit from both lord effects. Notable examples of changelings are:

• Realmwalker
• Taurean Mauler
• Irregular Cohort
• Masked Vandal
• Impostor of the Sixth Pride (actually looks like a cat!)
• Chameleon Colossus
• Crib Swap : Removal that also nets you two tokens!
• Maskwood Nexus : Everything becomes a changeling. This means that every creature you cast will generate two tokens. For you deck, this is just a better Parallel Lives!

Additionally, you seem to have missed (or purposfully no included?) some rather powerful cats and dogs:

• Black Market Tycoon : Not the best ramp card, but it's ramp that is on theme!
• Oreskos Explorer : This dude gets better the more expensive your mana base is as he does fetch every Plain card not just basics.
• Qasali Pridemage : Suprised to see that one missing.
• Brimaz, King of Oreskos : It's just a good card for 3 mana, honestly.
• Feline Sovereign : Lord, you can never have enough of those
• Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist : Don't forget our favorite cursed cat. Her effect is actually really strong
• Prava of the Steel Legion : Lord
• Skyhunter Strike Force : Lord
• Alms Collector : On theme draw effect that can absolutely wreck your opponent if you flash it into a wheel effect. The secret lair artwork is also the most adorable cat you will ever own.
• Leonin Warleader : Stronk
• Qasali Slingers : Very good artifact and enchantment hate. Basically an on theme Aura Shards
• Loyal Warhound : On theme ramp.

Just a few for you to consider. I have a list of all good (in my opinion) cats and dogs in my Rin & Seri list: Rin and Seri

Now, let's be real: Its not the best tribal. So I wouldn't force cat and dogs as hard as you do and also supplement with normal creatures like Mondrak, Glory Dominus or Bloom Tender .

You also do not seem to have a lot of draw options in your deck. Depending on the pod you are playing in, board wipes might be present and can absolutely wreck your game plan. Draw effects help you recover from this. Sadly, Naya is not the best color combination for drawing cards and most of the good draw effects are really expensive. You can see some suggestions for draw effects in my deck list: Rin and Seri

I would highly recommend proxying if your pod allows it. Be careful with draw effect like Camaraderie or Shamanic Revelation. They look good on paper in a token theme but they are "win more" cards in my opinion. If your board got wiped and you draw into those cards, they will not do a thing to help you recover. A wheel effect like Wheel of Misfortune however, will draw you 7 fresh cards to start again.

Lastly, I would recommend getting some tutors in there. Eladamri's Call, Green Sun's Zenith, Natural Order and the like. The best card in your deck by far is Jetmir, Nexus of Revels. He is basically your secret commander. If you can resolve him with 9 creatures on the board, you can devastate your opponents out of the blue. All the more important to be able to find him if you need him.

That's all for now. Have fun!

plakjekaas on Eminence: Do you like it …

1 year ago

Because the only way a card is problematic is if it's viable in cEDH? That's some ignorant prejudice '^^

Arahbo's eminence is not better than Edgar's. Cats may be powerful, but the ability of Arahbo can be negated by fogs, removal spells, Moat, and does nothing without a target, for which you need to invest in a board presence first. Edgar gives free board presence upon casting spells, which can only be negated by Stifles. You'll cast more vampires in an Edgar deck than you'll have combat phases in an Arahbo deck. To compare the advantage of both eminence abilities and conclude that Arahbo is the more powerful out of the two is frankly delusional.

Eminence changes the rules of the game for the user, without any cost tied to it. It's the same reason Companion is the most problematic mechanic of all time. The reason it's not a real problem like companion was in 1v1 formats, is because competitive formats don't have a command zone. If Inalla's eminence ability was obtainable in legacy, the card would be banned yesteryear.

The only reason it works in commander, is because it's a casual multiplayer format, which can correct overpowered cards with table politics. A lot of other broken cards and mechanics are fine in commander because of that. The infamous Command Zone analysis on t1 Sol Ring success rates proves that powerful effects can be mitigated by the inherent self-balancing of multiplayer formats.

I'm not advocating Eminence cards should be banned, but I will judge you for choosing an eminence commander over the plethora of other options every color has to offer now. If you choose Arahbo over, say, Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist as your cat commander, I will act accordingly because you're trying to exploit free resources I can't interact with. Your deck defines itself with this unfair advantage in the command zone, radiating its privilege from its safehouse. Just own up to that and we'll be fine, but don't deflect and argue eminence isn't that powerful, because it is. People are allowed to feel bad going up against it, just like people are allowed to feel bad when they get Armageddond.

Play unfair commanders, get treated unfairly, is all I'm saying.

Spirits on Arahbo, Xenagos... for Cats EDH

Feel like this deck has lost some of it's effectiveness, perhaps too central focused around the Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista strategy.

Will review new combos for selesnya, and also revisit the core infect early strategy with doublestrike/infect.

Draw still an issue for sure, hmm working on returning to a core. I tried focusing on a Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist progression, but it draws so much threat when it's supposed to protect me, while drawing attention from the combo focused decks. Have to find a balance.

Hunt381 on Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist and Goad …

If for example in a 1v1 setting and all my opponents creatures were goaded how would the Tapped effect on Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist interact with multiple enemy creatures? Would they all still be able to attack or would only one be chosen to attack and if so, would it fall back on my opponents choice?

Last_Laugh on Jetmir, Nexus of revels

Nice deck, I'd suggest more card draw and more ways to protect your board though.

Card Draw: Beast Whisperer and Sylvan Library both deserve spots and depending on how big your creatures reliably get, possibly The Great Henge.

Board Protection (combat): Dolmen Gate, Reconnaissance, and Iroas, God of Victory all allow you to swing all out without losing a single creature (and in the case of Recon, have everything untapped by the end of combat). Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist is also good for both offense and defense.

Board Protection: Luminous Broodmoth, Sylvan Safekeeper, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Teferi's Protection, and Privileged Position will all help the resilience of this deck.
