DemonDragonJ: Yeah, my loathing of five-color goodstuff mostly comes from how this is supposed to be the color-restricted format: I have a Ghave, Guru of Spores deck, but if I want to make a Rith, the Awakener or Marath, Will of the Wild *f-etch* deck, I have to lose the black cards (and probably the entire Aristocrats theme). So, no more Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos. No more Pitiless Plunderer. No more Diabolic Intent. No more Blood Artist or Bastion of Remembrance. I do gain red, though, so say hello to Purphoros, God of the Forge. Rhys the Redeemed or Nemata, Primeval Warden would be even more restricted, as token decks go.

My removal also suffers, since red removal is surprisingly bad in this format. (Seriously, I'd argue white has the best removal, followed closely by black. Green's a distant third, and red and blue are tied for fourth: Red has more removal, blue has better removal.)

And it happens between Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, Betor, Ancestor's Voice, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Beledros Witherbloom, and Licia, Sanguine Tribunefoil too. All are lifegain, but only Oloro can use Absorb and Drogskol Reaver. Only Licia can use Lightning Helix and Searing Meditation. Only Betor can use Beledros Witherbloom. Ayli and Witherbloom are even more restricted, especially since Witherbloom can't use the color that's best at lifegain.

But that's the whole point. When I choose a Commander, I make a lot of choices regarding deck construction. I can't say "Cathars' Crusade would be good in my Animar, Soul of Elements deck." because, well, it wouldn't; it would be illegal. That forces me to pick, I don't know, Ivy Lane Denizen or Forgotten Ancient instead. Corpsejack Menace? You mean Branching Evolution? (Aside from the name, why is Corpsejack Menace anyway? I actually wouldn't mind if it were just because that's Simic's thing.) And so on down the line.

Five-color goodstuff opts to ignore all of this. And right now, there are more five-color decks in EDH than in Legacy.

Eh, I can always just hate them out with Primal Order.

That's my rant about how too much five-color goodstuff is bad for the game.

Anyway, I play Aura Shards and Seedborn Muse in a lot of decks too. Aura Shards is really oppressive in a token build, or even a reanimator build. Seedborn Muse is interesting because she's either overpowered (anything , token builds, Yeva, Nature's Herald) or just a fancy Village Bell-Ringer without the Splinter Twin combo. I have to go through my decks now and see which ones have four or more game changers.

Beebles - No worries; always liked Carrion Feeder dropping in at 1cmc to explode triggers is all. Only reason I mentioned the "wipe" was for if someone gets off the ground 1st (Gruul tricks, Animar, Selesnya, etc); as Grave Pact seems to be the "go-to" for that here.

Have you ever considered evasion? I've been chumped many a time with "go-wide, then go-tall" decks, and it feels bad when your 15/15s get shutdown by just good-ol' Avenger of Zendikar (or doubler decks, cough Rhys the Redeemed cough). Ever consider: Song of Freyalise - (elf) Bramblewood Paragon/Tuskguard Captain - or the new Sandstorm Salvager? Suddenly, the snowball is an avalanche ;)

I'm kind of fond of Rhys the Redeemed. Green gives you access to card draw and mana accel, so you can keep playing more copies of Hare Apparent every turn. Rhys also can double your tokens on his own. All this extra card draw will also help you get to the Thrumming Stone (or to an artifact tutor). Finally, this gives you access to Parallel Lives, for another token doubler if you need it.

You must make a decision, as with all token decks. Do you want to anthem and Cathars' Crusade your bunnies to be huge? Or do you want to use Meekstone and Dusk / Dawn to mess with your opponents while not hurting yourself at all?

legendofa I usually run Rhys the Redeemed, and am killed on sight. Only time I'm not killed on sight using that deck is when my mom is doing Krenko.

The other decks I use is my Baird, Steward of Argive pillow fort deck, and sometimes my Valduk, Keeper of the Flame Voltron deck.

berryjon Oh hi! Didn't realize you posted on this! Big fan. You should do more of the Custom Card Critique.

Anyway, some Fae cards? I made a Fae commander a while ago.


Allis, Queen of Ice

Legendary Creature — Faerie Wizard

Flying

When a creature is tapped, create a 1/1 white and blue Ice Faerie creature token with flying.

3/3


IDK why I made her green, probably for token shenanigans with things like Rhys the Redeemed.

Anyway, repeat or wild.

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

May 18 Rhys the Redeemed helms this deck :-) Token Selesnya deck win, topdecked Hour of Reckoning, (amazing Nontoken boardwipe), I had about 25 token creatures after activating Rhys once. Beat Cam despite his only 1 damage Ajani Steadfast emblem 8-6 .571

legendofa sorry I was reading an article.

I just got a job, so I'm willing to spend up to $10 on a single card, up to about $60 dollars of improvements at a time.

I usually play against combo decks. Here's my common opponent decks:

A Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip control deck.

A Kykar, Wind's Fury combo deck.

A Rhys the Redeemed token deck, sometimes headed by Ghalta and Mavren tho.

A Hazel of the Rootbloom token deck.

a Sharae of Numbing Depths control/stun deck.

And a very budget Sliver Hivelord sliver deck.

I usually play Baird, Steward of Control, Me, The Mighty, or Valduk, Keeper of Equipment.

Add Ghalta and Mavren, it can get out of hand VERY quickly. Especially with your Doubling Season, Parallel Lives and Rhys the Redeemed. That will be 5 attacking 12/12s with trample the turn after Ghalta and Mavren comes out. The next turn, if you used Rhys the Redeemed, that'll be 32 dinosaurs, but if you attack with Ghalta and Mavren again, that'll be 37 12/12 dinosaurs with trample. In 3 turns. That are attacking.
