Melek, Spellcaster Extraordinaire
2 weeks ago
It always nice to see another Melek player in the wild. Here are some cards that have worked for me.
Mystical Tutor and Personal Tutor are both insane in melek.
Also instants and sorceries that can be played as lands like Sink into Stupor Flip and Valakut Awakening Flip can be used place of normal land and makes melek's ability a little more consistent.
Library of Leng is another really good included if you got enough discard cards like Shreds of Sanity, Frantic Search, and Recall
Ritual are always good Seething Song is my favourite
In removal I've found Nevinyrral's Disk is the only way to get rid of enchantments. Submerge is free in 90% of games. Also cards like Pillage and Boomerang are good when cloned and can hurt your opponents mana base.
Anyways I hope that these suggestions are helpful :)

Dissident Storm
1 month ago
Alright. It's harder to pull off a storm deck in Commander but there are things you can do.
The easiest way to storm in Commander is with the Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal combo. The Scepter copies the imprinted spell, but you cast the copy so it counts towards your storm count. Running this combo requires you to run a bunch more mana rocks though, because you need to be able to produce at least 2 mana off of the rocks just to get the engine going, plus more mana if you want to produce infinite mana off of the combo. I don't know what your budget is like or if your group allows proxies, but at higher level tables you'd be looking to run cards like Mana Vault and Grim Monolith since those produce 3 mana all on their own. Beyond that though, you would definitely want to be running the talismans like Talisman of Dominance. Everflowing Chalice is another good option for storm because it's on rate if you only kick it once or you can just play it for free un-kicked to increase your storm count. Whichever rocks you end up running, you'll need a good number in the deck to support the combo.
The Dramatic Scepter combo also works well with Wishclaw Talisman. Activate the Talisman, then with the ability on the stack you activate the Scepter to untap the Scepter, the Talisman, and your mana rocks. While the first ability is still on the stack, activate the Talisman again and repeat the cycle. You'll be able to use up all 3 wish counters yourself and in the end you just pass a useless Talisman to the opponent, although after tutoring three cards you should just be winning that turn. The combo also just kills if Guttersnipe is out.
Running a bunch of mana artifacts (that don't enter tapped) has another benefit in that you can run cards like Paradoxical Outcome, Hurkyl's Recall, and Retract. You get to tap your rocks for mana, bounce them back to hand, and then recast them to increase your storm count and hopefully even net extra mana, although that requires more artifacts that produce more mana than they cost like Sol Ring, Mana Vault, and Grim Monolith.
Another combo card you could be running is Chain of Smog, which combos with Professor Onyx as long as you keep targeting yourself with the Chain and its copies. The copies won't count towards your storm count, but they will get you a bunch of treasure tokens off of Storm-Kiln Artist. You would have an empty hand, but you would have the mana to cast Kess and then cast a card from your graveyard. Ideally, you would be running wheel effects like Wheel of Fortune to immediately refill your hand and keep your plays going. Storm decks typically like to run wheel effects. On the more budget end of things, you could at least be running Windfall and similar effects so that you can match your opponents' hand sizes after emptying your own.
Chain of Smog + Archmage Emeritus will basically let you mill through your deck at the cost of emptying your hand. You'll be forced to discard the cards that you draw off of Emeritus. However, If you run a copy of Unearth in the deck then you can draw and discard your deck, use Kess to cast Unearth from your graveyard, and bring back Thassa's Oracle for the win. It's a risky line though because you won't have access to any counterspells to protect it.
Unearth is still worth considering for the deck in general since it can get back several relevant creatures in case they are countered, it's a 1 mana spell for storm count, and at worst you can cycle it away to draw a card.
Another combo I can think of based off of cards already in your deck is God-Eternal Kefnet + Scroll Rack + Time Warp (or any other extra turn card that doesn't exile itself). You use Scroll Rack to make sure that Time Warp is the top card of your deck. When you draw, Kefnet sees it and copies it. You cast the copy, and then before the end of your turn you use Scroll Rack to put Time Warp from your hand back on top of your library. Rinse and repeat for infinite turns.
Beyond that is typical storm stuff:
- Ritual Spells like Dark Ritual, Rite of Flame, and Seething Song are good for generating bursts of mana, especially since Kess can cast them again from the graveyard.
- Cheap cantrips like Ponder and Thought Scour help to dig through your deck while adding to your storm count.
- Cards like Bolas's Citadel and The Endstone keep the card train rolling.
If all of that is sounding really expensive, Stella Lee, Wild Card and Veyran, Voice of Duality are known commanders for their own unique storm decks. You can find lists at various budget point for them online. Zada, Hedron Grinder can also play as a budget, glass-cannon style goblin storm deck.

Pia-tiful Impulse Control
4 months ago
Seething Song for Ruby Medallion: While Medallion has a theoretical long-term upside that can't be matched, the deck is too heavily white spells at this point for the ramp to be consistently meaningful, especially early on. SS allows us to impulse draw with greater confidence knowing we can absoluteely cast whatever pops out.
Etali's Favor for Impact Tremors
: This one is a test. Fully aware that tremors is a better card, but Favor is such a vibe. it enables some of our more aggresively slanted non-token creatures to crash through (it works incredibly with Laelia!) while keeping the tokens flowing. It feels similar to Unstable Amulet in that it 'replaces itself' and gets you a Pia trigger for your troubles, plus some small utility
The Flux for Runaway Steam-Kin: This deck has enough midgame mana engines. What it needs is consistent impulse draw. The normal issue with 4-CMC impulse draw engines (looking at you, Outpost Siege) is that they do nothing the turn they come in, making them a somehow-even-slower Phyrexian Arena that doesnt even actually draw the card. The Flux solves that by picking off a creature, then giving you 4 turns of advantage. If you're still around, it then gives 6 red to cast whatever you got left (you'll probably have more cards in hand, as you've been casting an extra card from exile every turn). Its basically a version of Count on Luck thats easier to cast and gives you a late-game burst that could be the exta push you need to seal a win
Inti, Seneschal of the Sun for Charismatic Conqueror: This one is also a test slot, although I'm less confident. Inti is in theory card-nuetral that helps us dig deeper for Pia triggers. Its best case scenario is when it teams up with the likes of Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Party Thrasher or Harnfel, Horn of Bounty Flip to provide extra advantage. Conqueror's tokens are rarely the reason we win the game without the help of other cards, and while that may be harsh to say about a 2-drop, the fact of the matter is that we can only play so many off-plan cards before we dilute the deck.

BEHOLD YOUR DEATH
9 months ago
Unless you absolutely just want to stay on theme, which is fine, I have some considerations for you
Blast-Furnace Hellkite is expensive, but basically the best dragon, you've seen the horrors of Terror of Mount Velus as well, so consider at least one of them. Obsidian Charmaw is also amazing at punishing nonbasic land use.
Consider throwing in some more rituals in addition to Seething Song, for stormscale scion/dragonstorm. Its overpowered but Past in Flames
and Underworld Breach can be absurd with that.
You have almost no draw. Some dragons can help with that, or there's always wheels
I'd dump Metallic Mimic in favor of Bloodline Pretender unless you really need the lord effect since he counts a dragon no matter what zone he is in. Taurean Mauler is also nuts.
Always consider Boompile and Nevinyrral's Disk in red. you dont have any other way to handle enchantments, and they help you survive to the late game, which is important when most of your stuff is very expensive and you dont happen to have your cost reducers.
Draconic Roar and Spit Flame really weak for commander in general. maybe look at Mizzium Mortars instead.
If sarkhan ever gets big enough to be a threat something like Two-Handed Axe , Temur Battle Rage , Rush of Blood, or Fatal Frenzy can be deadly

Unleashing the Maelstrom: Yidris' Controlled Chaos
11 months ago
Played a couple games. Yidris sputtered out, again, probably should have mulliganed.
Second try, Yidris kept hitting land drops. Suspended Wheel of Fate, Turn 3 Waste Not. Turn 4 Primal Amulet Flip, Turn 5 Dark Petition. Taylor on Henzie "Toolbox" Torre, mostly, had hit me down to 3, the other players could have killed me. Taylor destroyed my Waste Not in response to the Wheel of Fate being cast; he channeled Boseiju, Who Endures. No matter. That gave me the Island I needed to cast the Turnabout that I would not have been able to cast otherwise. Main phase, cast Seething Song to flip into Primal Wellspring Flip, allowing me to copy Emergent Ultimatum. Got to cast Time Warp, and Ghostly Flicker while Dualcaster Mage got shuffled back. No matter. Used Increasing Vengeance to copy the original Emergent Ultimatum, again! Will and Thomas had already conceded but Taylor started arguing about the stack before angrily leaving, repeating, "I'm done! I'm done!" Would have had infinite mana with some extra turns, probably an Aetherflux Reservoir to boot.

Baraton, Reckless Geomancer
Legendary Creature - Human Shaman
Protection from lands
You may play an additional basic Mountain each turn.
Mountains you control have ", : This land deals 1 damage to each creature."
5/6
"What do you mean, dangerous? I'm still alive, right?"
The last ability is lightly stolen from Koth of the Hammer, and Baraton is absolutely in the Seething Song-Pyretic Ritual-Geosurge "praise the lava" stance in the art.
Create a druid's grove.
wallisface on Could Uro come back to …
1 year ago
For what its worth, i went through the modern banlist and made a list of cards i’d rather see unbanned because they’d be less toxic than Uro (note this doesn’t mean i actually want any of these unbanned, just that i think they’d be less broken).
- Ancient Den
- Blazing Shoal
- Deathrite Shaman
- Fury
- Golgari Grave-Troll (3rd time lucky right?)
- Great Furnace
- Green Sun's Zenith
- Grief
- Ponder
- Punishing Fire
- Seat of the Synod
- Seething Song
- Splinter Twin
- Tree of Tales
- Vault of Whispers
- Violent Outburst (this one feels super close/adjacent).
- Yorion, Sky Nomad (not that this one’s on the banlist for a power reason though - and imo it should defo stay banned)
