NV_1980 on Lemme Show You My Enchantments

1 week ago

Hi,

Might I suggest some more early mana rocks to get Zur out quicker? I was thinking stuff like Arcane Signet, Azorius Signet, Dimir Signet and Orzhov Signet. The talismans (like Talisman of Dominance and its sibblings) are also great for some earlier mana. And as long as you're using many (expensive) enchantments, you could consider adding Land Tax as well.

With so much lifegain going on, you could also consider adding some cards that allow you to draw based/play cards that use life as their source of power. Necropotence could be awesome in here. Same could apply to Bolas's Citadel.

I should also point out that this deck is a bit light on removal; especially when it comes to opposing artifacts/enchantments. At the very least, I'd consider Heliod's Intervention (which also synergizes with the lifegain theme, if you want to use it in this fashion).

NV_1980 on Krav partner token/lifegain

1 month ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the general idea of this deck is to generate tokens and benefit from that by gaining (or draining) life and by saccing some of them through Krav so you can draw cards. So anything that's not helping towards that, can prolly be axed. In my opinion, this would be cards like:

  • Abstruse Appropriation: stealing creatures is fun, but this spell really makes it rather expensive. First you pay 4 to remove something and then the removed creature's mana cost to steal it. If you keep it for removal purposes, it's much better to replace with something that's cheaper to cast, like Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares.
  • Command the Dreadhorde: I get why you'd include this, considering the deck's theme, but there are better ways to steal opposing creatures. If you're THAT horny for what's in opposing graveyards, use Grave Betrayal; at least it won't cost you any life and it's an enchantment so it can be used until someone manages to zap it.
  • Debt to the Deathless: you don't need this. The deck already contains plenty of ways to deprive the opposition of their lifepoints AND plenty of ways for you to gain life. This just seems expensive to me.
  • Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip: honestly, wtf is this doing in here? Not saying this isn't a fun card, but considering its costs and the fact that your deck doesn't do anything with making your creatures unblockable, this seems a waste of a slot to me.
  • Emeria's Call  Flip: have some doubts about this one. I get it, but are Angel tokens so important that you're willing to spend 7 mana on a spell that saves your tokens from destruction? There are cheaper ways to do this (but then you don't get Angels), like Make a Stand, Rootborn Defenses or Unbreakable Formation.
  • Glasswing Grace  Flip: it's a nice boost for a single creature, but it doesn't add to the deck's theme.
  • Increasing Devotion: not bad but it's also relatively expensive to cast for what you get in return. Matter of taste I suppose; personally I'd leave it out (the deck has plenty of (cheaper) token-generation already).
  • Polluted Bonds: strong drain, but not of a kind that's in-theme with the rest of the deck.
  • The Regalia: it's an ok ramping mechanism. I'd replace it with a cheaper-to-cast mana rock though, which saves you some time. Jet Medallion, Orzhov Signet, Pearl Medallion, Talisman of Hierarchy ... whichever works.

So aside from all the above, you can cut four lands (or replace them with cheap-to-cast mana rocks to increase resource availability). Good luck.

CommanderNeyo on The Ultimate Warriors (Updated)

I love Mardu! My favorite deck plays a lot like this one.

Below are some of my recommendations, but I would mostly recommend you check out the CommandZone on Youtube - they have a deckbuilding guide that is very good. Also, for some ideas on cards, you can check out EDHREC, which is a database for deckbuilding.

Anywho, here are some of my recommendations:

== ADD ==

Isshin, Two Heavens as One and Windcrag Siege double all your attack triggers.

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Terra, Herald of Hopefoil if you face a lot of removal.

Swords to Plowshares, Damn, Blasphemous Act, and Ruinous Ultimatum for removal.

Boros Charmfoil for protection.

Voice of Victory, Bone-Cairn Butcher, Infantry Shield, and Dalkovan Packbeasts for more Warrior tokens.

Hardened Tactician, Raiders' Spoils, Mindblade Render, Skullclamp, and Zurgo Stormrender for card draw.

Professional Face-Breaker for ramp and card advantage. Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet, Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Hierarchy, and Talisman of Indulgence for more ramp.

Shared Animosity, Fiery Emancipation, and City on Fire for buffs.

Reconnaissance to remove any creature your opponent blocks so it won't die, and Redoubled Stormsinger to double your tokens.

33 Lands is very low, especially since you have so little card draw and a high average cmc of 2.67. I recommend at least 38, if not 40 - you generally want to be playing a land every turn for the first 5 turns.

== CUT ==

Here are some cards I recommend cutting:

Aeronaut's Wings, Colossus Hammer, Greatsword of Tyr, Inquisitorial Rosette, Mardu Monument, Team Pennant, Amazing Alliance, Cartouche of Solidarity, Rally the Ranks, Shared Triumph, War Effort - Most of these provide modest buffs or require too much mana to use in one go. Most equipment are better in dedicated equipment builds, while Zurgo is generally more about going wide. If you do want to play equipment, I would recommend ones that provide utility (like Sword of the Animist, which you already have) or provide large buffs (like Blackblade Reforged). Cards that only buff your damage by 1 are generally underpowered.

Chromatic Lantern, Commander's Sphere - Your commander is 3-mana, so it is nice to have 2-mana ramp so you can still play your commander on curve.

Diabolic Tutor and Mastermind's Acquisition are a lot of mana for a tutor, and I would generally recommend cutting them.

Anywho, that's a lot, but let me know if any of it was helpful!

firasnake on Kaalia of the Waifu

That's what I'm going for!

For the mana, I think I've been hoping some of the indirect mana sources (blink or reanimate Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, steal mana rock with Yuffie, Materia Hunter, even out land advantage with Knight of the White Orchid, etc) would play out, but I definitely see what you mean. I added Arcane Signet and Orzhov Signet and added back Priest of Gix and Priest of Urabrask.

I can also see that I'm short on draw, and tutoring doesn't cover it. I strangely cut a few good options all at once and haven't noticed the hit yet, so good catch. I've added back in Matzalantli, the Great Door  Flip (which also helps with mana), Minas Tirith, and Shilgengar, Sire of Famine, along with your suggestion of Harvester of Souls, which puts me at 12 card advantage cards. I don't suppose I should go much more than that since my reanimate options are supplemental card advantage, particularly later-game.

Thanks for the insight!

Honestly I don't think I've ever seen a Kaalia deck quite like this one.

Some general notes: The deck could really do with some additional mana-sources aside from your lands to make it a bit quicker. I tried to play-test it ten times or so and each time, I couldn't do anything meaningful until turn 3 or 4 at the earliest. Stuff like the signets (Arcane Signet, Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet and/or maybe the talismans (Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Hierarchy, Talisman of Indulgence could all be of tremendous value in this regard.

Then there's draw. Right now the deck contains maybe 1 or 2 actual draw resources. You also have 5 or 6 tutors; most of which I presume are meant to find you your combo pieces. I see you have blink options in here too, which allows you to reuse some of your tutors, which is nice. However, most EDH decks contain at least 10 or so card-advantage options to keep things moving along steadily during games. For this deck, I'd recommend CA-options like Bloodgift Demon, Dark Confidant, Harvester of Souls, Phyrexian Arena and/or Rakdos, Patron of Chaos. I can think of more, but these are quite expensive (money-wise) and considering the deck's current budget, those might not be suitable.

Hope this brew works for you, good luck!

multimedia on Liesa but Angels

1 year ago

Hey, good WIP for Angels, nice Avacyn and Tithe.

When you break it down to the very basics of what you need for Angels it's three things: Angels, ramp and draw. Angels because you want to cast/attack with Angels, ramp because you want to be able to consistently cast your higher mana cost (4+ CMC) Angels and repeatable draw because you want to keep having Angels in your hand to cast. The better Angels you want to attack with, including Liesa, have a high mana cost, without more ramp you'll have a more difficult time casting them. Consider more lower mana cost (1-3 CMC) ramp and more repeatable draw sources?

In my opinion, a good rule for casual Commander deck building is having at least 10 sources of draw and at least 10 sources of ramp, allocate deck room for these. These are the most important two effects to have for smoother gameplay. Better overall gameplay makes playing Commander more fun since you'll get less frustrated with how your deck is running. Consider cutting a few of the lesser power cards compared to other cards here for more ramp and draw?

Add:

Cut:

Some land upgrades to consider that are within the budget for the manabase: Caves of Koilos, Fetid Heath, Shineshadow Snarl, Great Hall of Starnheim, Tyrite Sanctum, Vault of the Archangel, Soulstone Sanctuary, Path of Ancestry

I hope this advice is helpful and I offer more if you're interested, about the potential adds/cuts I've suggested.

Apoptosis on All my life

Updated with better tutors/mana rocks I pulled from an old tribal zombie deck. Additional changes made to make it more competitive.

I think it still needs more removal and ways to deal with artifacts/enchantments, but I haven't decided what that should be. I'm also not super excited about my high end bombs, it would be nice to have win-cons that are not dependent on going infinite or forcing loss of life.
