Doombeard1984 on Miirym, Spooky Lizard Flap-Flap!!!

Thank you for your comment AkaAkuma, and appreciate the ideas.

You are correct in that I partially lean into the idea of making a few extra tokens of Miirym, but I also use effects like making copies of Roaming Throne (because it is super dumb in this deck), and things like Parallel Lives/Adrix and Nev, Twincasters to just double out my tokens. I did check out your build, and it is very sweet (+1 duly given). The only other Clones I would love to add would be Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Sakashima the Impostor respectively. I have very little recursion in the deck, and so whilst I would retain copies from the Miirym trigger, returning these clone cards from my graveyard should I need too, would require quite the rebuild. The 2 above, I simply don't have copies of, and (unfortunately) am not in a position to currently purchase them.

Utvara Hellkite again is simply a card I do not own, and if I did, it would likely replace Lathliss, Dragon Queen. She only triggers on non token ETB, and whilst additional triggers from Roaming Throne are nice, I just thing Utvara is a simple upgrade.

Sneak Attack does seem fun for some shenanigans, as can "surprise" people for blocks, as well as just making that combo damage finish much easier. Will see how I can fit that one in.

Mirror of Life Trapping seems like a fun card, but dear lord I struggle with tracking all the triggers anyway, this looks like it would make my brain explode lol.

Thanks again for your comment, appreciate it

It seems that you already lean into the idea with Spark Double/Cursed Mirror - but i build Miirym as a "copy" commander, and only included some of the beefy dragons to top it off.

Visage Bandit can be plotted turn(s) before Miirym enters, then you cast the bandit on the turn Miirym enters. Miirym creates a non-legend token, Visage bandit dies by legend rule but now you have copy token that can be copied without legend rule issues.

1 Miirym turns to 2, another copy now makes 5 Miirym (2 existing + 2 new + copy), a third copy spell and you have 11 Miiryms... And this gets wild easily with Dragon Tempest or Scourge of Valkas.

Other good options are Naga Fleshcrafter that can make everything a Miirym (or a Utvara Hellkite) in a pinch. Pirated Copy is a great one. Dack's Duplicate gives all Miirym tokens haste,... and there are many more options.

I also really love Sneak Attack with Miirym, and another fun one to copy etb's is Mirror of Life Trapping. Just make sure the mirror isn't removed while Miirym is exiled with it.

Flame-Kin War Scout, Mogg Bombers, Mirror of Life Trapping, and Monkey Cage. I don’t have a commander to build the deck around, any suggestions. darkkirodon if I can keep the rest of the deck pretty budget, I can probably get a sphinx. Thanks for the suggestion! seshiro_of_the_orochi the only veiled card I really like is the veiled sentry because it forces my opponents to play their lower cmc spells first, disrupting their gameplan and the hidden guerrillas which are actually really good if any opponent has an artifact.

I love this one as a commander! Here is my take on your deck list: - Since you seem to create a good amount of treasure token, I think Blood Artist would be a good addition and synergyze well with your commander second effect. You can add any other card that does the equivalent (ie. Falkenrath Noble) - Your commander first effect would require some blink. That said, Rakdos doesn't have that much flicker cards. I would add may be a Mirror of Life Trapping or a Conjurer's Closet (this one is probably to expansive to even consider it).

Mirror of Life Trapping maybe. Mirror Box so you can copy legendary creatures

Blinking scarecrows is good, especially if you blink all of them at once. Eerie Interlude etc.

Mirror of Life Trapping makes all scarecrows enter the battlefield twice.

Clout of the Dominus or Pledge of Loyalty is cheap protection for the King. Spirit of Resistance is nice if the King is on the board.

Mirror of Life Trapping would double your tokens, one on cast then another when it pops out of the mirror.

You don't need to cast the dragon, it just needs to enter the battlefield. Any cards you own the blink a creature will give you a free Dragon token. Especially look ay things like Spark Double that can copy Miirym and then you get multiple token copies.

Mirror of Life Trapping will let you copy a cast dragon, then when anybody casts the next creature you get another copy as it re-enters the battlefield.
