Raven_of_Arella on Blessings of Blood and Feathers

This seems like a really cool deck! It seems like a cool way to capitalize off of a strong life gain strategy. As much as I love Reya Dawnbringer I might consider looking at Ravos, Soultender for a cheaper cmc option. The only downside to him is that creatures return to hand instead of to the battlefield.

I'll make a few suggestions here, trying to keep in mind your budget considerations.

Suggestions for reanimator:

Palace Siege - either lifegain or reanimator, depending on what you need when you play it.

Ravos, Soultender

Debtors' Knell - high mana value, but returns a creature from ANY graveyard to the battlefield directly.

Suggestions for lifegain:

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose - Highly recommend, as he goes infinite with Exquisite Blood.

Marauding Blight-Priest - Like Vito, also goes infinite with Exquisite Blood.

Tymna the Weaver - Lifegain and card draw.

Ajani's Welcome - cheap, consistent lifegain for playing creatures.

Ivory Tower - cheap, consistent lifegain each turn for having cards in hand.

Also, random one that you may want to consider: Pyre of Heroes. It'll let you sacrifice one of your creatures to find another with mana value equal to the sacrificed creature's plus 1.

As a few more thoughts:

If you're set on using , a partner pair with Ravos, Soultender will keep your discarded cards ready to be used. Maybe Thrasios, Triton Hero for the other?

Copying the abilities with cards like Lithoform Engine, Illusionist's Bracers, or Battlemage's Bracers, depending on budget, can improve their efficiency. Since the Spellshapers signature ability involves tapping and discarding, a way to untap them repeatedly and a big pile of draw effects would also help efficiency.

Gadianten on Divine Machinations (Cleric Tribal)

Thanks for the comment kookoo, I have thought about it in the past and the only reason it was not an auto include was because of the detriment of self exile in a reanimation deck. However, after looking it over again Deadly Vanity  Flip could be hilarious as repeatable board wipe every turn with Ravos, Soultender being spared to continue the abuse.

Kazierts on SKELETONS!

When I said Jund, I actually considered Tormod, the Desecrator and Tana, the Bloodsower. Mainly because Tormod just sinergizes very well with a lot of skeletons and some Skeleton support also supports zombies too (namely Death Baron and Death-Priest of Myrkul.

Another option, but 4 colored, would be still Tana, the Bloodsower now with Ravos, Soultender. You can still have Tormod in the deck, still have access to a lot o reccursion (even in your commander) and get a lot of good anthems, and tribal support, in white.

MrXilas on Burakos + Folk Hero Party Tribal

I like the vibe you are going for here. I'm gonna throw three of my favorites at you and you can decide if it's worth it. Depending on budget, Tymna the Weaver is great in any creature based deck. Ravos, Soultender acts as an anthem, party member, and recursion for your creatures. FInally, if you are willing to veer off from the party and embrace your keyword soup, Odric, Lunarch Marshal is going to do WORK in this deck. I'd cut the Orator for him.

Gadianten on Clerics

1 year ago

No reason not to add Tymna the Weaver as a commander partner to Ravos, Soultender as it will allow you to control when you want to play her.

Some good in tribe clerics matter cards to consider are Righteous Valkyrie, Taborax, Hope's Demise, Akroma's Devoted, Battletide Alchemist and Orah, Skyclave Hierophant.

Another cleric to look at would be Moon-Blessed Cleric, just for the ability to tutor up Necropotence alone should be worth it.

Also a short overview or primer of the deck would be helpful to better understand how you want the deck to win or particular synergies or combos your aiming for.
