Hey hkhssweiss, if you're still looking for a good janky Monored Commander, I recommend Feldon of the Third Path . Use his ability in order to spam creatures with high power and solid ETB abilities, without worrying about a Counterspell. Typical picks are Molten Primordial , Bogardan Hellkite , Tyrant of Discord , Dragon Tyrant , Rapacious One , Pathrazer of Ulamog , and It That Betrays .

Instants and Sorceries like Faithless Looting , Cathartic Reunion , Dangerous Wager , Khorvath's Fury , Collective Defiance , Pirate's Pillage , and Shattered Perception let you put these biggies into your graveyard for early game Feldon recursion. Orbs of Warding can help protect your graveyard from removal.

Other notables are Petradon (exile your tapped lands, return them untapped at end step) and Avaricious Dragon (use when you want to dump your hand into the grave, activate Feldon at upkeep to draw an extra card). There are lots of fun tricks you can do with Feldon.

No Strip Mine? No Wasteland or Dust Bowl or Encroaching Wastes? For shame.

Also, you don't really seem to have... a win condition. Dingus Egg rewards you for what you'll be doing anyway, and you might like some big boys such as Terravore, Argothian Wurm, Deus of Calamity or Petradon.

Hmmm... just off the top of my head, some ideas include Petradon, Somnophore, Colossal Whale, Stormtide Leviathan, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Tradewind Rider, Dungeon Geists, Sower of Temptation, Rimescale Dragon, Lorthos, the Tidemaker, Heartwood Storyteller, Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, Deus of Calamity... I hope some of those are helpful!

I was thinking the same thing about Petradon, so I'm going to keep in Silvos, Rogue Elemental for now.

I think adding Keldon Firebombers would necessitate a total rework of the deck, so it'll probably be kept on the sidelines.

Thanks for explaining your thoughts and the upvote!

Some deckbuilding guild lines I set out for myself are very little artifacts or enchantments and creatures with toughness 5 and preferably 6 or more to survive Wildfire and Destructive Force so adding Sakiko, Mother of Summer or Wort, the Raidmother would be suspect. Though they are really good cards and I should probably try to fit in sakiko anyway.

I'm also running this on a strict total budget of $50. My buddy and I are trying to flex our deck building skills not our wallets lol. So I don't think i can fit in Neheb, the Eternal even though it's super good as well.

I'm going to swap Conjurer's Closet with Selvala's Stampede though! That's a super cool card and i think it'll be great!

Do you think I should run Hunter's Insight over Soul's Majesty?

If you like the deck an upvote would go a long way, Thanks!

Hey hoardofnotions. I think something like Silvos is probably stonger. Lower cmc, evasion, some survivability. Petradon's more if you want to play an old curiosity or if the beast creature type had synergy. You could be cute and use it to blink your lands out before land destruction.

Keldon Firebombers needs a bit of building around. To really benefit you basically need your mana production separate from your lands. So mana dorks and artifact ramp or to be able to work at a low land count. Splendid Reclamation and similar effects obviously work nicely with it. It doesn't get as bad a reaction as other land destruction as it doesn't wipe everything. It hits decks that are trying to play across multiple colours worst (ive mainly used it in mono decks).

Hey Draw_Wurm, thanks for the suggestions!

Petradon looks interesting, I think it might be too mana expensive to run. It's definitely on theme though. Do you think it's better than Silvos, Rogue Elemental?

I've always heard that Keldon Firebombers is an anti-ramp card. Like you punish folks that ramp hard by getting everyone on the same level again. Have you played with the card before and experienced it first hand?

Hey hoardofnotions. Petradon is an odd card that maybe on theme. Keldon Firebombers is also great land destruction on a budget.

How about a Petradon? Or a Petravark? Not actually land destruction, but it'd hinder the opponent and provide you with a way to defeat your enemies instead of slowly waiting them to deck themselves. After all they shouldn't have enough mana to get rid of the creature.
