Pedrodamus on Tutorless Commander?

1 year ago

Tutors are an inherit part of the game that have been around from the very beginning. If your playgroup has an ironclad "no tutor" policy, then more power to ya. My playgroup doesn't play by those rules, but I, personally, have been limiting the tutors I include in my decks in lieu of new cards I want to test out. My tutor inclusion depends entirely on how strong I intend the deck I'm building to be.

That being said, I've limited a few of my decks to a single tutor. Like, my Rith, the Awakener runs a lot of enchantments, so I have an Enlightened Tutor in there. I run a Mystical Tutor in Neera, Wild Mage because it's just fun to search up a fun big spell to the top in response to her trigger. In contrast, I run quite a few tutor effects in my mono black Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed and mono green Omnath, Locus of Mana decks because they're meant to combo out. I think this tutor sentiment depends entirely on how a playgroup feels about it.

kingc0rn on Karona [PREMODERN EDH]

Appreciate it! PREMODERN is simply a deck with the restriction of ONLY using cards available prior to 8th Edition (old bordered cards).

I've been on a mission to build a premodern EDH deck for a while now. I always love trying to make things I haven't seen done before. I wanted to make an Invasion Legendary Dragon deck but just couldn't choose between Rith, the Awakener (the best), Crosis, the Purger, or Darigaaz, the Igniter (best art IMO). So what went from a Saproling Tribal, to a Reanimator, to a Dragonstorm deck, is now a reanimator deck with ALL of the Invasion dragons; Karona, False God leading the charge.

I've got it to 124 but could really use some help tuning/chopping it a bit more. Any and all help would be appreciated. Spiritmonger is the only card I can see that is pretty out of place, but he's the only pet card from my childhood I can think of that isn't in a deck I own so I think he'll stay!

I fully acknowledge this deck will probably be a train wreck. Every other deck I have is pretty highly tuned, to the point I don't have any options for playing new players or underpowered decks. I'd like this to be that deck.

ProBertels: The issue with Rith, the Awakener is that not only does she cost 6 mana to play but that you have to sink mana into her ability each turn in addition to that. And then on top of that, worst case scenario you only make 1 token. So while she can generate a large boardstate, there is the potential to be quite slow in doing it.

Tana, the Bloodsower comes down two turns earlier, which in competitive games is a huge difference. And the fact that she couples with Tymna the Weaver makes her very strong. On top of that, the typical build for her is a stax deck which uses the tokens to keep above parity to sacrifice effects, so the main goal is not necessarily to just flood the board with tokens anyway. And in this case, the fact that she costs 2 less is much more important than the fact that you can make a bajillion tokens in an optimal scenario.

Marisi, Breaker of the Coil seems like it would fit right in here.

Here are some other cards you might like: Adriana, Captain of the Guard, Goldnight Commander, Valor in Akros, Pollenbright Wings, Ogre Battledriver, Shamanic Revelation, Camaraderie, Martial Impetus, Predatory Impetus, Shiny Impetus, Ilysian Caryatid, Second Harvest, Storm the Citadel, Rapacious One, Rith, the Awakener

1. Arcanis the Omnipotent
2. Bosh, Iron Golem
3. Dakkon Blackblade
4. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails
5. Haakon, Stromgald Scourge
6. Higure, the Still Wind
7. Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
8. Jaya Ballard (one creature, 2 walkers)
9. Karona, False God
10. Kresh the Bloodbraided
11. Lyzolda, the Blood Witch
12. Malfegor
13. Maralen of the Mornsong
14. Mayael the Anima
15. Momir Vig, Simic Visionary

18. Raksha Golden Cub
19. Reaper King
20. Rith, the Awakener

So now figure out which ones are most likely to fit into Tefiri's Past/Lore. Still say Sidar is most likely, But Jaya as another creature card could be possible I suppose.

I'm a huge fan of Rith, the Awakener and Hazezon Tamar as token Commanders. I haven't played EDH in a while so my builds are woefully out of date, but here are a couple of possible starting points: Smashface Gardening with Rith and Sandbagging with Hazezon.

Cheers!

Want something off-beat? How about Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer ?

Want a brew where your long-sought-after Doubling Season really works double duty? How about Marath, Will of the Wild ?

Wanna really have a game where you're spinning the wheel? Atla Palani, Nest Tender . Like a token Cascade!

Wanna be the unconventional token strat that goes tall instead of wide? Take a look at Feldon of the Third Path !

Krenko, Mob Boss can get out of hand, I'm sure.

You could sac your way to the win or just go wide with Prossh, Skyraider of Kher !

Need something totally typical? Might I suggest Rhys the Redeemed ?

How about Rith, the Awakener devotion tokens. I hear White has some good stuff for that?

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Izoni, Thousand-Eyed look like they've got a good thing going...

Wanna get creative? Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun is a unique choice, but how much support does he have? Quasiduplicate is a good start.

Teysa Karlov is sitting in the middle of the Orzhov web of power. Know what that means? Lots of tokens and a lot more death.

Need to come out of nowhere with an enormous beat stick? Ulasht, the Hate Seed is your beat stick!!

Valduk, Keeper of the Flame is another beefy boi who benefits from auras and equipments a lot... as do Tana, the Bloodsower and Siona, Captain of the Pyleas ... Here's something else entirely. Voltron tokens?

Hope that was enough options.

LanceBluPaladin on Advertise your COMMANDER deck!

Hello everyone,

I've been working on this deck for a while now and wanted to get some feedback on it. I'm going with a more conservative route on making tokens using Rith, the Awakener . I'm also using spells to generate tokens, Planeswalkers, enchantments, and even a land as well. Creature removal and board wipes are huge in commander so I figure by using enchantments and some other spells I could keep a pretty solid board state and rebuild easily.

There are some other things in the deck like Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors . So the deck has win conditions in there and even an infinite combo between an enchantment and a creature as well which I didn't even think about at first.

Let me know what you think?
