Doritoboy100 on Deck help Oko+Simic guild+simic mutology ...

2 weeks ago

Hello all, I have been playing with the Oko structure deck, that I updated using Affinity For MTG's youtube video, and just bought the Simic Mutology structure deck as well as the Simic Guild Kit, as well as some booster pack cards. I'm trying to combine them into a 75 card deck, with 15 cards I know to take out for 60. Based off the cards in these 3 decks I'd like to build the deck around a constant flow of powerful monsters through the +1/+1 counters, as well as overloading on mana and drawing a lot. Some of the main points of damage right now are Oko who can just turn everything into a base 10/10 and distribute lots of +1/+1s, vorel who can double somethings counters, zegana who gives trample, galloping lizrog which can take all the +1/+1s and double them onto himself, nylea's forerunner for trample, progenitors mimic and miming slime to make clones, and wild born preserver for reach and his +1/+1s. But I also have things like coiling oracle/fathom mage to draw a lot, and gyre sage/maraleaf pixie for tons of mana. So I'd like to just find a good strategy in this mess lol.

The total card list of everything I will have is: (stuff with "x" seems important to me) Creatures: 1 Oko, the Tricksterx, 1 Vorel of the Hull Cladex, 1 Zegana, Utopian Speakerx, 1 Momir Vig, Simic Visionaryx, 2 Cloudfin Raptor, 4 Coiling Oraclex, 1 Cytoplast Root-Kin, 1 Elusive Krasis, 4 Faerie Vandalx, 1 Fathom Magex, 1 Frilled Mysticx, 1 Galloping Lizrogx, 1 Gyre Sagex, 4 Keeper of Fablesx, 3 Maraleaf Pixiex, 1 Nimbus Swimmer, 1 Nylea's Forerunnerx, 3 Paradise Druid, 2 Plaxmantax, 1 Progenitor Mimicx, 1 Protean Hulkx, 3 Spectral Sailorx, 4 Sphinx of Foresight, 2 Surveilling Sprite, 1 Trygon Predator, 2 Vigean Graftmage, 3 Vigean Hydropon, 1 Wildborn Preserverx, 2 Zameck Guildmagex,

Instants: 1 Applied Biomancyx, 1 Disdainful Strokex, 1 Gift of Strengthx, 2 Oko's Hospitalityx, 3 Optx, 1 Prying Eyes, 1 Quenchx, 1 Radical Ideax, 2 Rapid Hybridization, 1 Return of the Wildspeakerx, 1 Voidslime,

Sorcery: 2 Flash Foliagex, 1 Maximize Altitudex, 1 Miming Slimex, 1 Selective Snarex, 2 Shielding Plaxx, 1 Urban Evolutionx,

Enchantments: 3 Charmed Sleepx, 3 Frogifyx, 2 Setessan Trainingx,

Artifacts: 2 Simic Signet,

Land: 4 Simic Growth Chamberx, 4 Simic Guildgate, 4 Thornwood Fallsx, X Forestx, X Islandx

Thanks!

Not of This World is a great addition to any Eldrazi deck. Titan's Presence is pretty good removal if you're running some big Eldrazi. Along with Seedborn Muse that's in your list, Wilderness Reclamation and Urban Burgeoning would fit in nicely. Put Urban Burgeoning on your Simic Growth Chamber for an extra 6 colorless mana every go around the table. Mirage Mirror is soon to be an EDH staple. Might as well buy one while they're cheap and slot it in this deck. It's so good.

I too play a Kruphix led Eldrazi deck if you want to check it out and get some ideas.

Pray_for_Snow on Uro Commander

1 month ago

I'm going to sort my recommendations by type for now since the deck is still below 100 cards; once we get to a full deck list, I'll come back and suggest some upgrades if you still want some help.

Artifacts

Mana Rocks

The Great Henge is very easy to cast once you have Uro on the board, and continues to draw you cards/gain life for you as play more creatures.

Sol Ring is a classic card in every commander deck, unless your playgroup bans it.

Simic Signet is a cheap mana rock that helps you use any colorless lands you have to make some colored mana.

Arcane Signet gives you cheap mana in either of your colors.

Thought Vessel for the increased maximum hand size; you'll probably end up with more than seven cards in hand if you can use Uro more than once in a single turn.

Utility Artifacts

Altar of Dementia for milling out yourself or your opponent. You can use the stack to sacrifice Uro if you cast him from the command zone.

Panharmonicon will double your Uro triggers when it enters the battlefield, plus a few of your other creatures or artifacts like Springbloom Druid.

Crystal Shard will let you re-use your enter-the-battlefield triggers on your creatures

Blackblade Reforged will help you deal lethal damage once you get your ramping done.

Lightning Greaves protects Uro or other creatures you want to keep around while also hasting them.

Creatures

Mana Dorks and Rampers

Sakura-Tribe Elder will ramp you and end up in your graveyard at the same time.

Arbor Elf will untap a land you need instead of adding {G}, which is better if you're playing with nonbasic Forest cards.

Wood Elves gets you a Forest from your library, and can even get a non-basic one. You can use it to chump-block someone later on as well to add another card to your graveyard.

Llanowar Elves and Elvish Mystic are the same card but still useful to help ramp.

Birds of Paradise is a classic commander card and can help you block flying creatures when you don't need it anymore.

Graveyard Dudes

Hedron Crab mills as you ramp, and you can choose to mill yourself if you're trying to win that way.

Satyr Wayfinder mills you while also grabbing a land card to put into your hand.

Eternal Witness brings back a card you want from your graveyard.

Golgari Grave-Troll will help mill you while also being a rather tough blocker/beater thanks to its regenerate ability.

World Shaper will mill you and also get back lands you milled when it dies.

Laboratory Maniac will secure you a win if you're milling yourself enough.

Misthollow Griffin can be cast from exile, allowing you to use it to cast Uro with escape repeatedly, and it will even block flying creatures for you.

Genesis helps you recycle creatures as long as it stays in the graveyard.

Good Synergy and Other Additions

Tatyova, Benthic Druid makes your ramp spells (and Uro) better.

Rampaging Baloths gives you tokens for land drops, helpful for trying to close a game with combat damage.

Roil Elemental steals creatures as you play lands.

Reclamation Sage hits dangerous artifacts/enchantments you don't want around.

Enchantments

Auras

Bear Umbra protects a key creature while also untapping all your lands.

Song of the Dryads and Imprisoned in the Moon are both excellent at removing a dangerous threat.

Other Enchantments

Zendikar Resurgent is excellent for this deck for the extra mana and the card draw.

Elemental Bond will draw you cards for your big creatures.

Crop Sigil will mill you when you want to mill, and get back something important.

Retreat to Coralhelm helps you scry cards or tap/untap creatures for playing lands. If you have a way to mill exactly one card, you can mill your top card after scrying it if you want it in your graveyard.

Wilderness Reclamation untaps your lands for later use, especially useful if you want to leave mana untapped during your opponents' turns.

Instants and Sorceries

Counterspells and Removal

Cyclonic Rift is your best board wipe.

Beast Within is your best single-target removal.

Counterspell, Swan Song, and Negate are good counterspells to leave open.

Voidslime is great and is a very useful and board tool for stopping combos.

Other Useful Spells

Life from the Loam gets back lands from your graveyard, and mills you with Dredge.

Windfall hopefully refills your hand and can disrupt your opponents.

Cultivate and Kodama's Reach ramp you. So does Circuitous Route.

Finale of Devastation is a win condition, tutor, and reanimation spell all in one.

Lands

Utility Lands

Alchemist's Refuge gives you flash on all your spells.

Reliquary Tower fixes any issues you might have with drawing too many cards at once.

Field of the Dead gives you tokens to block with, and is extremely easy to activate in this deck.

Arch of Orazca draws you cards with extra mana.

Blighted Woodland ramps you up.

Mana Fixers

Command Tower is a staple for a reason. The reason is that it is good. Play it.

Breeding Pool helps fix your mana and is a Forest card for your ramp spells.

Simic Growth Chamber fixes your mana and bounces back a land for any Landfall triggers you might want to reuse.

Flooded Grove fixes your mana.

Waterlogged Grove fixes mana, draws you a card, and ends up in the graveyard when you don't need it anymore.

Simic Guildgate is a gate that can be fetched out with Circuitous Route.

I left out some big money cards, since those can be upgrades for later. I didn't check if these additions would put you over 100 cards, but you can throw in anything else afterwards and just try out whatever seems fun.

Hello! I'm glad I can help! Of course, you can adjust your lands to have more variety and help give more triggers to the Field of the Dead! You are worried about placing tapped lands but don't stay! Take a look at your mana curve, as you can see is not very fast: only 4 cards of 1 mana cost, and 10 cards of 2 mana cost which gives you 14% of the deck ... You can invest in some tapped lands like the dual lands Simic Growth Chamber and Golgari Rot Farm. Evolving Wilds to double (or quadruple with yarok!) the Field of the Dead trigger ... The Opulent Palace ... And also some untapped ones like Yavimaya Coast or Llanowar Wastes ... I'm giving you low cost options but you can see other solutions on my decks ...

Thank you so much for your comment and suggestions swaretappedout!! This is really helpful. I had watched that video you linked and it's really good, it brought up some concerns about what I've currently build. I've been playtesting it via tappedout and I really agree that my ramping and especially my card draw engines need fixing. I'll invest in some of those more expensive lands after Christmas I think :P Totally agree on removing The Chain Veil , it was just a cool card I had lying around and I have a few planeswalkers in the deck. My meta is mostly casual, playing with some friends. I hadn't played MTG in a while and this will be my first shot at building a commander deck :D I really need to stick more to that video guide you listed and put it into action.

Cards I'm waiting for at the moment to arrive: 1x Freed from the Real 1x Hadana's Climb  ^Flip 1x Hydroid Krasis 1x Incubation Druid 1x Momir Vig, Simic Visionary 1x Simic Ascendancy 1x Simic Growth Chamber 1x Simic Signet 1x The Great Henge 1x Utopia Sprawl

Thanks again!

Icbrgr on Kiora: Cruelty Without End

@abbatromebone yeah im not sure about Amulet of Vigor either... the idea seemed pretty good though and ive seen it mentioned/talked about many times over in various Maze's End forums but for what my deck is aiming to do i dont think it will shine with the absence of lands like Simic Growth Chamber .

I have most of my gameplan dedicated to colors at least to a point where i can reliably draw into and play for additional fog Dawn Charm power and mainboard universal spot removal with Detention Sphere . Because I'm in 5 colors by default via gates/end Cruel Ultimatum as a 1 or 2 of and between all of this decks draw/cantrips and Expedition Map / Gatecreeper Vine it really isnt too hard to cast; but certainly requires deliberate color fixing/gate fetches... It's a very high risk high reward spell in my opinion. I use Ultimatum very similarly here to how Sphinx's Revelation is used in other Control decks. I truly love this card but using Sphinx's revelation would probably be better; but I personally just like the style points.
