Rising Populace

Creature — Human

Whenever another creature or planeswalker you control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Rising Populace. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)

TheOfficialCreator on Favorite MTG Set (Newer)

I still have to stick with War of the Spark as my favorite set. It has such a fun draft setting in my opinion (if you look at my drafts, I sometimes go on drafting sprees of WAR just for fun), and its cards are often powerful yet contained within a certain limit. There were no Okos in this set (although both Karn and Narset proved powerful enough for Vintage).

And the story... I know Greg Weisman's take on it gets a lot of flak for being kinda bad, but the story is better told, at least in my opinion, within the cards themselves. Little things, like Battlefield Promotion being tied to Tenth District Legionnaire, or the incredible grief portrayed in Rising Populace. Plus, it wrapped up a complex arc in a grand and emotionally investing way.

The cycles were all interesting and unique, and it introduced static-ability and non-mythic planeswalkers, which both had a big effect on the game in their own ways. Amass, while an incredibly limited mechanic in scope, was incredibly cool and unique.

Sorry, I get a little long-winded when explaining why it's my favorite set.

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is my second favorite from recent years.

junga on Mono white +1 counters and lifelink

So, ur deck is kind all over d place, no offense. U decided wat u want ur deck 2 do, but not How (+1 counters vs enchantments, win con etc) and some cards haver no place in there (some odd ones R d Soul's Attendant (fits swarm strategy better), Rhox Veteran (needs swarms and .. i really dont like dat card lol) and d Arcbound Mouser (needs other artifact creature 4 it's ability), Rising Populace (outclassed as far as cmc goes, and ia more of a aristocrat card)and u lack evasion (only d princess may avoid some blockers. Ill assume u want a more direct aggro strategy. Lets focus on creatures first, Sacred Cat os quite Nice, even better agains removal heavy, Healer's Hawk is another 1cmc slot and adds evasion. At d 2cmc u can fill with some 2/2 lifelinkers (LL) (there r some Functional reprints of Ajani's Sunstriker If u want other models and Sungrace Pegasus 1/2 flying LL. On a heavier cmc u can consider Seraph of Dawn as a finisher, a 2/4 LL with flying is Nice. u could consider ETBs pumpers like Dawnfeather Eagle so u can hit and still keep ur defenses up. On d +1 counter profit u could consider maybe Ainok Bond-Kin giving ur creatures with +1/+1 d first Strike ability. I would drop d enchantments pumps since u wont b protecting ur creatures. As Far as removals Go, 8 cards should b enough i Guess. U could use Oblivion Ring or Journey to Nowhere and Sunlance , there r some other Fun options like Weight of Conscience . I would also drop Battlefield Promotion , Moment of Triumph and Wanderer's Strike . Shoulder to Shoulder could be paired with Unbounded Potential for some card draw. White doesnt have dar many card advantage maybe Revitalize could help u 2, and drop 2 Idyllic Grange 4 2 Secluded Steppe . Dis r Just some random thoughts, d most important is 2 have Fun. Oh, and when starting a New deck, think about d rules of 4 (9-10 different non-land cards, 4 copies each so u can reproduce more consistent outcomes )

Rising Populace? I like your deck btw +1 from me

Hey, good start upgrading the precon on a budget.

28 lands is not enough land for an avg. CMC of 3.4 which is high. I recommend 36 lands and adding Knight of the White Orchid. First strike with a two drop Human is good with +2 pump from Jirina. You want to take more advantage of Jirina who's a four drop anthem effect for Humans. This means you want to consistently be able to play more impactful one drops (Champion of the Parish)/two drops (Thalia's Lieutenant)/three drops (Frontline Medic) to attack with the turn you play Jirina.

Tribal creature strategies in Commander fold to board wipes. To combat this play more repeatable instant speed indestructible protection (Etchings of the Chosen), creature recursion (Phyrexian Reclamation), reanimation (Alesha, Who Smiles at Death) and noncreature repeatable sources of Humans (Outlaws' Merriment).


Budget lands to consider adding:

Good luck with your deck.

SueMe: Excellent suggestion, but I don't own any. So instead I'll be on the lookout for some. Thanks a lot!

Flooremoji: I think that is definitely an upgrade over the Rising Populace, seeing as how it's also 1 CMC less. Thank-you, and I'm gonna make that change now.

Tips. If you have recommendations I think I'd like something which can recover some value if all the spirits get taken out or if I'm ending up suiciding some lifelink tokens for Dawn of Hope . I basically added Impassioned Orator originally because opponents playing Ethereal Absolution was giving me head-aches and at least allowed me to throw Ministrant of Obligation onto the board for a minimum of 3x card-draw events off Dawn of Hope as they all come onto the board and immediately die while waiting for a Conclave Tribunal or something. Rising Populace is at least a cheap option, and the synergy with Teysa Karlov is nice but I'm hesitant.

Or maybe skip a Final Payment and just go for Kaya's Wrath and recover some tokens if the game gets stuck?
