I love equipment, I am hoping for an upgrade to the preconstructed deck and I came across this one, I massaged the mana base a bit with some stuff I already have, but thank you for continuing to tweak, I hope that the person piloting this at the table has fun (I tend to bring a dozen or so commander decks to game night so folk don't have to be out of pocket to play ... and I'm addicted).

• Forest out Yavimaya Hollow in
• Forest out Gaea's Cradle in
• Razorverge Thicket out Selesnya Sanctuary in
• Temple of Plenty out Wooded Bastion in
• Brushland out Misty Rainforest in
• Ancient Tomb out Arid Mesa in
• Graypelt Refuge out Krosan Verge in
• Blossoming Sands out and Savannah in

SideBae on My (probably) sad attempt at something strong

So this is not a bad first draft at all -- having the dorks, like Llanowar Elves and Avacyn's Pilgrim , is a big deal. I have a few suggestions:

• Include Natural Order : Grabbing Craterhoof Behemoth for is great. Spamming a bunch of dorks and then hoofing can win you the game real fast.

• I don't think Path to Exile is very good. In EDH, everyone is trying to do busted stuff with a lot of mana, and Path to Exile actively ramps your opponents. This is actively dangerous.

• Consider Utopia Sprawl or Wild Growth as potential one-mana ramp, in addition to your dorks. Also, with your Arbor Elf they can make much more than one mana.

• Dryad Arbor : This land feels bad when you have it in your opener, but you can get it off Green Sun's Zenith for X = 0. This is a pretty good turn one play, especially with a flipped Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip.

• Collector Ouphe : Love the Stony Silence you have in there. This is a meta-call, but having a second Null Rod effect may be worth the card-slot.

• Triumph of the Hordes : This card can serve as a secondary win-con if Craterhoof Behemoth doesn't work out.

• Thalia, Guardian of Thraben : Hatebears are the best way to win in GW, outside combo. Running something like Thalia lets you slow down your opponents; with the mana-advantage from your dorks/general, you're likely to be able to play through it better than your opponents.

• Thorn of Amethyst , Root Maze , Aven Mindcensor , Vryn Wingmare , Kataki, War's Wage , Linvala, Keeper of Silence , Eidolon of Rhetoric : More hatebears.

• Fetches: These are better than Selesnya Guildgate , mainly because they allow you to double-trigger your landfall guys, like Rampaging Baloths and they enable duals, like your Temple Garden or (if you have access to it) Savannah . I like that you're running Windswept Heath ; consider off-colors, like Flooded Strand or Misty Rainforest . If these are too difficult to get ahold of, slow-fetches like Grasslands and Flood Plain are also good. Prismatic Vista , too.

• Slate of Ancestry : If you choose to limit your global artifact hate to just Stony Silence , this thing is a draw engine.

• Nature's Revolt / Living Lands : Living Lands is better (as it's four mana), but Nature's Revolt is $200 cheaper... Paired with Linvala, Keeper of Silence , these two produce a hard lock on your opponents. Additionally, paired with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , this effect produces instant fun.

• Selfless Spirit : This is a good way to avoid a boardwipe wiping you out of the game.

• Knight of Autumn : This is a strictly better Reclamation Sage in GW, though you may want to consider running them both.

• Cataclysm : This is a boardwipe like no other. I suggest running it in any white deck, as it deals with a clogged board real fast. Note that it makes everyone sac all their planeswalkers, as that card-type was not instituted when Cataclysm was printed.

• Mentor of the Meek / Sylvan Library : Card-draw is at a premium in EDH. These help.

• Grim Flowering / Nature's Resurgence : These can help rescue you after a boardwipe, and may be valuable late-game plays even without having ALL your creatures in the yard.

Good luck!

Dude Savannah isn't boros are you sure you're not thinking of a Plateau

So it might be correct to swap these ramp cards out and my CMC will go down a little.

Yeah, "If you fear the dragon's fire, you are unworthy to wield it." - but that being said I probably won't be able to afford ABUR duals besides maybe Taiga and Savannah , also Mox Diamond seems to be expensive as hell too. But for the rest of the cards I'll try to get them sooner or later, recently I've bought foil Assassin's Trophy and next on the list are probably missing fetchlands or Sylvan Library .

Hey, just a heads up, Primeval Titan is banned in commander, but if your playgroup is fine with it, keep it. There's a reason it's banned lol.

Also, Wood Elves could be a great way to ramp and a good blink target.

If you beef up your mana base with shocklands like Breeding Pool and Temple Garden you can use Wood Elves to ramp AND fix your colors.

Overall, I think this is a very strong list. The main improvement I would recommend is to the mana base, as you stated. If you've got the money for Tundra and Savannah and Tropical Island , go for it, but even adding a few more cheap non-basic lands like Evolving Wilds and Blossoming Sands . I think your deck would be fine with about 15 basic lands (maybe 8 forests, 4 islands and 3 plains depending on the colors from the nonbasics).

And personally, I think it's fine for a Roon deck to not have too much to do in the late game. Roon's all about out-valuing your opponents in the late game.

Hope this helps!

SideBae on Mirri lives, and she brought friends

I highly suggest investing a little more into your mana base. Temple Garden is good to fetch out with your Windswept Heath (as it's a dual), along with your Canopy Vista . Scattered Groves is another land to consider here, along with Savannah , if you want to blow $150 on a marginal improvement. Off-color fetches are similar; they are effectively duals as they allow you to fetch your Canopy Vista and friends. If you choose to run fewer fetches, Suppression Field can be plain brutal against a lot of decks.

I see you're running a few dorks; I advise adding a few more, as they're one of the best aspects of your colors. Arbor Elf and Llanowar Elves would be good additions. If you want more one-mana ramp spells, Utopia Sprawl and Wild Growth are options that also act synergistically with Arbor Elf . Priest of Titania , Shaman of Forgotten Ways and Somberwald Sage can be great too.

Swords to Plowshares is better than Path to Exile . In EDH, giving an opponent five to ten life is unfortunate, but not terribly bad; ramping an opponent, on the other hand, can be very dangerous. I advise against spells that can help speed up your opponents.

Along that vein, slowing your opponents down is a good idea. Vryn Wingmare , Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Glowrider are all good tax effects identical to Thorn of Amethyst that also can come in for damage. Gaddock Teeg is great for holding off board-wipes, as Damnation , Wrath of God and Supreme Verdict are all uncastable while he's on the field. Kataki, War's Wage is a powerhouse as well.

Depending on your meta, you may have a lot of options for color-specific interactions. Carpet of Flowers is excellent if your meta is really blue, and Choke is a pretty mean card with essentially the opposite effect.

In green, you might way to consider adding a land-recursion package if you have access to it. Ramunap Excavator is good for bringing back your fetch land(s), and thereby guarantees land drops. Exploration is an excellent card, if you're willing to spend $25 to get ahold of it, that accelerates you like crazy from turn one. Sticking a Wasteland or Strip Mine into the mix is pretty spicy too.

In creature-heavy decks, Slate of Ancestry is a powerful card-draw engine.

Natural Order is busted in Legacy Elves; it'd also be busted here. Grabbing Craterhoof Behemoth for four mana tends to end games fast, or at least put your opponents into the five to ten life range. Similarly, but significantly worse, Green Sun's Zenith , Finale of Devastation and Chord of Calling can all end games. Worth noting is that if you include Dryad Arbor in your deck, you can grab it with GSZ on turn one for one mana. Along the lines of finishers, Overwhelming Stampede is good, but I would run Triumph of the Hordes first. Be weary, as people can be salty about losing to infect in EDH.

If you choose to run some equipment in your deck, Stoneforge Mystic is good. It is approaching $40, but as you already run Sylvan Library I figured I'd mention it. I don't advise running more than two or MAYBE three equipments in your final list, and Stoneforge both fetches then and provides a body to carry them. In this vein, I do like Dragon Throne of Tarkir in your list; you should consider running Batterskull and/or Sword of Fire and Ice . Sword of Truth and Justice , from Modern Horizons, is another card you may want to consider -- I think its price will go down, at least a little.

Deftblade Elite is an interesting creature you should consider. It's good for removing the single blocker your opponent might have, especially if the blocker would kill something important of yours.

That's all I got. Good luck with deck building!

PartyJ on Rhys and his elves

Hi,

While I have no vast knowledge of Rhys - I never played with and against him - I do believe that I could make making some solid observations.

• The decks average cmc is currently 2.99. I would try to trim this down as much as possible.

• How far are you planning to go to optimize your manabase? I would ditch the tapped/suboptimal lands and select these lands: Savannah , Brushland , Sungrass Prairie , Cavern of Souls , Windswept Heath , Flooded Strand , Marsh Flats , Misty Rainforest . I am not sure how deep you want to invest in this. But selecting an optimal manabase greatly improves your overall gameplay.

Which cards do I feel would be really interesting for you to consider:

• Karametra's Acolyte
• Huatli, Radiant Champion
• Beast Within
• Imperious Perfect
• Triumph of the Hordes
• Mirror Entity
• Beastmaster Ascension
• Seedborn Muse
• Secure the Wastes
• Noxious Revival
• Wirewood Symbiote
• Chord of Calling

This should give you some food for thought :-)

Good luck!
