Forgotten Ancient needs one full turn to trigger and the reward is not that great

Smothering Tithe has no synergy with your deck, you just become the archenemy instantly

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster is not a good card for your deck imo

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon brings no synergy to the deck but is a strong kill. This is better than Thalia and gitrog however

Toxic Deluge is a very good card but is anti-synergistic with your deck because it goes over indestructible (so you can't protect you board and then wrath). Consider Damning Verdict if your are the only counter-matter player in your playgroup

Abzan Battle Priest is a strong card because lifelink is a powerful mechanic, even more when you keep your creature in defence

Keep in mind you only have 8 black creature + your commandant for Flare of Malice

You have very strong creature cards in deck like Sovereign Okinec Ahau. If members of your playgroup play tutors, you can improve your deck by adding Eladamri's Call and others

Anyway, this is a very good brew for sure and never forget to play the cards you like rather than the strong ones.

Sovereign Okinec Ahau is frickin ridiculous!

It can completely take over a 4 pod AND can recover pretty quickly from a boardwipe. Mine was pretty much unstoppable for over a month, and then I took it apart because I like other people to have fun too.

Dylls If you're only using +1/+1 counters, that works as a rule. If a creature's power is being raised by another source, like the Swords of _ and __ in this deck, Sovereign Okinec Ahau will count that for its ability. If a 1/1 with no counters and equipped with Sword of Fire and Ice is out when SOA attacks, that creature will get two +1/+1 counters.

I wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for Last Laugh's comment!

Sovereign Okinec Ahau actually reads Whenever it attacks, double the number of +1/+1 counters on each creature you control...

Or am I wrong?

Sovereign Okinec Ahau is another card with potential here.

OUT: Falkenrath Exterminator, Elite Scaleguard, Constable of the Realm, Enduring Scalelord, Slurrk, All-Ingesting

IN: Dusk Legion Duelist, Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar, Sovereign Okinec Ahau, Felidar Retreat, All Will Be One

Next round of changes to bring down the curve and get some better cards into this deck.

There isn't a rhino-specific commander, but what traits do rhinos have? Bulky bodies, a lot of trample and trample-ish evasion, and some stall with cards like Stonehorn Dignitary and Rhox Meditant.

I would say look for a subtheme and choose a commander based on that. Dragonlord Dromoka and Karametra, God of Harvests are good utility options for protection and ramp, respectively. If you're pumping the Rhinos, Sovereign Okinec Ahau pushes that into overdrive.

I got a lot of these decks in need of commanders. Please send over suggestions for

{R}{G}{W} Enchantments: Citadel of Pain + Manabarbs + Personal Sanctuary sort of thing. I know Go-Shintai of Life's Origin exists, but I'm not interested in adding {U} and/or {B} to this one.

{W}{U}{B}{R} Curses and curse themed Auras: Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor + Eriette of the Charmed Apple. Again, I'm not interested in adding {G}.

{U}{B}{R}{G} Reanimator

{B}{R}{G}{W} "Bleeder" attrition: Value over time. Awakening Zone, Suture Priest, Kambal, Consul of Allocation, that sort of thing.

Crow_Umbra First, ty for taking a look and posting. Good catch on Broodmoth, it definitely deserves a spot. I'll have to keep a few of those in mind, especially the cheap go-wide counters and Kodama. Can you think of any cheap early game token production like Call the Coppercoats/Flurry of Wings/Scepter of Celebration that will produce a decent chunk of bodies and possibly scale well as the game progresses? I feel like going wide early needs another slot or 2 for consistency.

I spotted the Sovereign Okinec Ahau while building, but that wording is confusing trash... is it everything attacking with less than Sovereign's power gets +1+1 counters equal to the difference? (I.e. he's 3 power and him and some 1/1's attack, the 1/1's all get 2x +1+1 counters to bring them to 3 power too?) If so, yeah it 100% deserves a spot.

The struggle I had in building this is prioritizing between a bit of go-wide early game creatures (mainly tokens), +1+1 counters, historic, and flash speed casting. I had to drop several payoffs I was eyeballing like counter/token doublers, the Ozolith, etc.
