multimedia on Adeliz leads some angry Wizards

3 weeks ago

Hey, saw your forum topic asking for help. Good build on such a low a budget. Realistically to make much improvements you're going to have to be able to spend more than $30 for your deck.

My advice is to lower the mana curve by adding more low CMC Wizards and more low CMC instants and sorceries that draw cards. End the curve with two five drops Wizards: Azami, Lady of Scrolls, Shipwreck Dowser and one six drop Archetype of Imagination. I suggest playing double the amount or more of instants and sorceries than Wizards because technically you don't need other Wizards because Adeliz can pump herself. Still have a strong base of low CMC Wizards, just a smaller one.

Since Adeliz can pump herself and has flying she is really your best win condition doing 21 Commander damage to each opponent. The problem with Adeliz is she doesn't provide card advantage only pump therefore you need a lot of other cards that draw cards to fuel the pump.

Some Wizards can help for card advantage:

• Windrider Wizard: lets you draw each time you cast an instant or sorcery or even a Wizard and he has flying which makes him a threat to attack. If just about every card you cast draws you a card then that's a nice advantage to keep drawing instants/sorceries/Wizards.
• Burning Prophet: repeatable scry is powerful when you want to draw certain cards and not lands or other cards. She can filter away lands so that you draw instants/sorceries/Wizards.

Consider more low CMC Wizards? That way you can establish a Wizard army quicker and get faster benefits from Adeliz with other Wizards. More low CMC flying Wizards can benefit much more from the pump from Adeliz because they can more easily do combat damage to an opponent:

• Siren Stormtamer
• Wingcrafter: way to give a Wizard who doesn't have evasion flying such as Burning Prophet and soulbond can change creatures.
• Faerie Seer
• Kaza, Roil Chaser
• Lightning Stormkin
• Dreadhorde Arcanist

With more low CMC flying Wizards then cards such as Bident of Thassa and Reconnaissance Mission can draw a lot of cards since you draw a card for each creature who does combat damage to a player. This is a way to keep refilling your hand with instants/sorceries by attacking with Wizards even if you don't have instants/sorceries to cast. Flying Wizards are still going to do combat damage to a player and draw cards. Shared Animosity is repeatable pump for each attacking Wizard you control. This repeatable effect is in addition too any pump that Adeliz does.

Izzet has a wealth of good low CMC budget instants/sorceries that draw cards that are staples of Commander:

• Preordain, Serum Visions, Ponder
• Brainstorm, Faithless Looting
• Windfall, Frantic Search
• Impulse, Chart a Course, Thrill of Possibility

Shadow Rift and Slip Through Space are one drop spells that can make Adeliz unblockable while also drawing a card.

Some budget lands upgrades to consider:

• Command Tower: staple of Commander for two or more color decks.
• Unclaimed Territory
• Path of Ancestry: repeatable scry when you cast a Wizard.
• Shivan Reef
• Mystic Sanctuary: recur a instant or sorcery from your graveyard.

Good luck with your deck.

No problem my friend! Glad to be able to help! Some other cards you might want to try if you're struggling with getting damage through include Slip Through Space, Smelt-Ward Minotaur, and Ground Rift. If you're interested, I can link a scryfall page showing 1 cmc instants/sorceries that make creatures unblockable until end of turn, though they are sort of a non-bo with Kalamax.

Peoni on So I die to crab commander damage?

Yes, you die to crab commander damage. :(

You might enjoy more evasion like Aqueous Form, Distortion Strike, or Slip Through Space. Also maybe some cantrips like Brainstorm and Ponder.

Like the crab, and the deck. :^)

Lezen on I'm sorry, did that go too fast for you?

Check my Copy and Prowess deck, maybe you get some ideas, I rather use Assault Strobe than Temur Battle Rage , Use 4 Lightning Bolt and get rid of the Shock, then Opt for Preordain since it's not Modern legal, and Slip Through Space it's better than Distortion Strike.

You also need more Mutagenic Growth and Manamorphose to draw cards and Prowess your creatures.

And about Sprite Dragon, hes fast af, and uses counters not prowess, so basically you can bust him up 2 turns until you have enough mana to make him 10 with double strike unblockable.

I think you should go with Assault Strobe instead of Temur Battle Rage and of course you need Slip Through Space, those 2 it's always a win on 4th turn.

For creatures Sprite Dragon works much better than Stormchaser Mage and I would change Bedlam Reveler and Young Pyromancer for Beamsplitter Mage , Kiln Fiend or Soul-Scar Mage (I run those 3 and the Dragon), then I would suggest you to try Samut's Sprint and Titan's Strength, two of each.

You can check mine in my profile.

Why Slip Through Space ? There are infinitely better cantrips.

maybe Distortion Strike or Slip Through Space instead of Gutshot or Lava Dart or Burst Lightning? Mizzium Skin can be an option to protect your creatures from removal
