SaberTech on non-black commander search advice

3 months ago

Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second is a good token commander for a budget. She can turn any type of token into a creature instead, and cards like Raise the Alarm or Hordeling Outburst feel a lot more impactful when they are spitting out 3/1s. If you have Requiem Angel on the board then every one of your cat or dog tokens replaces itself when it dies, which combos to give you infinite creatures to sac if you also happen to have a free sac outlet on the board.

Samut, Voice of Dissent is a few bucks to buy but I had a pretty good deck built around her in the past. Since she has so many keywords you run her with Odric, Lunarch Marshal to amplify the damage your creatures are dealing. Samut giving haste makes Etali, Primal Storm a much more viable inclusion. Her untap ability can let you ramp even more with creatures like Somberwald Sage, get extra protection out of Skrelv, Defector Mite, or let you drop a second creature onto the board with Oviya, Automech Artisan. She offers support for several different playstyles so if you get tired of playing the deck one way you can change it up to focus on a different angle of gameplay.

Spell_Slam on Mono-white Aggro drop 1 Pauper

There's a lot of depth to mono-white aggro and many different ways to go about it. It seems like you're focused on convoking and going wide.

I think your deck really wants Raise the Alarm and Triplicate Spirits. These seem like better options than Loyal Cathar or some of your 1-drops. You've got quite a selection in your maybeboard... Sacred Cat is good, so are Thraben Inspector and Novice Inspector.

If you go down the road of artifacts, you might consider playing Brute Squad. Here is my list as an example

May I recommend a Raise the Alarm? How about a keen and mean Charismatic Conqueror? I'm telling you, these are great! You better hop to it!

The moniker of this deck has very strong 'Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire' energy but I'll be sure to provide some relevant suggestions: Captain's Call and other cards like Raise the Alarm to create lots of tiny bodies, cards like Intangible Virtue and Anointed Procession to reinforce the weenie presence for Convoke purposes. Good luck!

Diving Hawk could probably get away with being a 1/2. It's still worse than Battlefield Raptor, but nobody really looks at Aven Skirmisher or Suntail Hawk with awe and wonder.

Distracting Hornstomper is a shade worse than Fiend Binder (power usually counts more than toughness) and a step down from Territorial Hammerskull. Maybe a 2/4?

Clifftop Watcher is probably at a good point right now. Playtesting leads to tweaking, but I think it can stand where it is. There's no great points of comparison, but Diving Griffin or Changeling Sentinel or Dragon Bell Monk are in the ballpark.

Skullshield Guard is raising some flags for me. Repeatable targeted indestructibility doesn't show up at uncommon; you get either single use or affects only itself. This would be uncommon, or maybe even rare. Some soulbond-ish tech might work, but that gets into complexity issues.

I would put a "playtest this" mark next to Flatlands Scout. Double explore is pretty significant potential ramp and draw, and Jadelight Ranger isn't the most reliable precendent for a common.

Bannerless High-Born can fit as to reduce the color weight. Maybe tweak it to 1/3.

Only notes on Sun-Crowned Second Sun are that the name and flavor text are great, but that's a beefy dude at 4/4. I assume he's got a good retinue of followers with him to push his stats up.

To make Light Footfalls a touch more white, the unblockable needs a rider like "can't be blocked by creatures with greater power" and a corresponding drop in activation cost, or maybe just as a static effect.

Summon the Guards might use a little poke. It's a touch underpowered compared to Raise the Alarm, Recruitment Drive, or Master's Call, but it's on par with Hive Stirrings.

As always, it's clear you're putting a lot of good effort into these cards. Thanks for sharing your progress!

Hi kimosabe! Thanks for the comment!

I’m really loving this deck despite only having one creature. For me the protection spells are helpful but I find myself holding up mana for a bounce spell like Unsummon to avoid removal, only because 3 players will likely have chances to remove Chun-li most games so if she’s going to be removed I just bounce her to my hand.

As for creatures I’ve got a few token makers that help the deck survive a ton. Spiritual Visit, Secure the Wastes, Recruit the Worthy, Rally for the Throne, Raise the Alarm, Midnight Haunting, Master's Call, Errand of Duty, Call the Coppercoats and Lazotep Plating. The tokens are fun to create every turn and can accumulate to be a pretty big board state fast.

While those creatures are strong and I appreciate your recommendations I just personally like the idea of owning a deck with 0 creature cards in it, just kind of funny and different.

If you have a chun-li deck I’d love to see yours, one thing I’ll add is that Release to the Wind is absolutely nasty in Chun-li, so if you have her I recommend that card.
