McToters on Lord Xander Taxing your Deck

1 month ago

Hey there! Happy to throw some suggestions on this.

Tunnel Vision works as mill but it can also be a nifty last chance tutor on yourself. Depends on how you look at it.

Bedlam would help you worry less about opponents blockers when you swing with Xander.

Kindred Charge could be interesting.

Relentless Assault, Combat Celebrant, are all choices that can help trigger additional combats so you can trigger Xander.

Need for Speed or Anger for haste!!!

Hahaha can you tell I'm a red player? I'll do a bit more research and comment back in a bit! Nice brew! Cheers

Since you aren't running a single creature, Proteus Staff will quite literally let you stack your entire deck in the order you choose.

Replace Fervor with Need for Speed and/or Mass Hysteria. Ashling's Prerogative is another option (I ran all 3 and Hall of the Bandit Lord)

Aqueous Form/Spirit Mantle are great to make Narset evasive and in the case of Aqueous, lets you dig 5 deep with Narset.

Long-Term Plans, Mystical Tutor, Scroll Rack, and Brainstorm are all worth it for the ability to manipulate your topdeck for Narset.

I'd also suggest replacing Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, and Chromatic Lantern. A good rule of thumb in Narset is 2 drop or less mana rocks (3 drop is ok if it adds more than 1 mana like Basalt Monolith, Coalition Relic, or Worn Powerstone). I'd personally recommend Talisman of Creativity, Talisman of Conviction, and Talisman of Progress.

Feel free to check out my list for inspiration. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Narset, American Beauty

Nicely built but I do have a few suggestions.

Ramp: Pentad Prism is the only 2 drop rock that'll net +2 different colored mana (albeit once). Copy Artifact doubles as any mana rock (or Strionic Resonator #2).

Haste Enablers: Need for Speed, and/or Ashling's Prerogative (especially since all your creatures are even cmc) deserve a spot over Fervor.

Topdeck Manipulation: Brainstorm (had to do a double take... how is this not already in the deck?) and Ancestral Knowledge (before Narset it finds mana rocks and after Narset it sets up absurd turns).

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Narset, American Beauty

Last_Laugh on Narset Says "My Turn" *Primer*

Ok, here because of you Cyclonic Rift vs. Omniscience post. Now, first off, why no extra combat spells?

Now, on to suggestions. I'll try to break it down by category and keep things budget friendly.

Ramp: Run LOTS more. Pentad Prism is the only 2 drop mana rock that'll net +2 different colored mana in the same turn (albeit, once). Fellwar Stone , Worn Powerstone , Coalition Relic , and Basalt Monolith are worth running also. Crystal Vein is handy in a pinch as well.

Haste Enablers : Need for Speed , Mass Hysteria , and/or Ashling's Prerogative are all excellent here.

Defense: Smoke is worth its weight in gold here and 100% deserves a spot.

Topdeck Manipulation: Dream Cache or Scroll Rack which is available in gold border for MUCH MUCH cheaper (as is Grim Monolith ).

Feel free to check out my list for ideas (especially for extra combats). Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Narset, American Beauty

SteelSentry on Overperforming Cards?

Need for Speed . Sometimes you just need the one haste threat, and you can spare the land. Bonus if filling your graveyard for recursion or Delve is relevant. It flies under the radar in a way that the most popular haste enablers don't, and you can use it on other player's creatures as well.

SteelSentry on What are your favorite underused, …

Telepathy and Need for Speed. They're only one mana, and both feel bad to waste enchantment removal on. I put Telepathy in every deck I can, and Need for Speed in everything outside of Boros, and are frequently one of the best cards on my side of the field. Plus, Need for Speed is literally the best card in my Korvold, Fae-Cursed King lands deck.

@ channelfireball12345 thank you for the suggestion and I get your point but sadly:

The "commander tax" is an additional cost, but it does not affect what a card's converted mana cost is. Converted mana cost is always based on the mana cost printed on the card; it never accounts for effects that add or reduce actual costs to cast something. It's a bit like kicker costs...

If that wouldn't be the case, this card would be a staple card in almost every red edh-deck. to give narset haste, I prefer Need for Speed(/Footfall Crater), Torch Courier or even Generator Servant.

Ah yes, Lord Windgrace. Mine is my oldest deck (it was an Adun Oakenshield landfall deck prior to the release of our Cat Lord). One of my favorite win-cons in my list is pairing Titania, Protector of Argoth with Need for Speed or Zuran Orb + Anger.

Also, Tectonic Reformation and Wrenn and Six (if you can afford him) are solid additions.

Feel free to take a look at my list for other ideas if you want: This deck has HUGE tracks of land.
