austintayshus on Counter Intelligence with mods

Looking at your deck with Kilo at the helm, I assume that this is a proliferate/counters deck and that the deck will win with counters in some way, whether that be +1/+1 counters on creatures or charge counters on Darksteel Reactor.

I did recommend Coalition Relic as an extra source of ramp, but additionally it is ramp that your counters/proliferate strategy can take great advantage of similary to your Everflowing Chalice. You can proliferate 2-3 times in a turn and begin the next turn with 3-4 mana more than your opponents expected.

I am not good at building mana bases, but I suspect that most commander decks should have about 10-12 ramp cards depending on many factors, and I only counted 6 in your deck (though I could be wrong, I am not infallable :) ) More than 50% of your deck costs 3cmc or less, that is a decent mana curve with 37 lands as far as I know. Adding a few lands wouldn't hurt but I think your deck is fine.

That being said, I am not a fan of Sword of the Meek in your deck as it doesn't allow you to untap your commander, doesn't give your commander haste, and doesn't interact with counters or proliferate in any way. If it's a pet card that you love, then by all means keep it. I have Storm Herd in my lifegain deck even though it's a 10 mana sorcery. It's all dependent on what cards you want, of course.

One additional point, I believe your deck is technically Bracket 3 since you have two game changers. Bracket 1 is reserved for Jank/Exhibition decks with the primary goal being something other than winning the game. For an example of a fun Bracket 1 deck, I would recommend my One-Word Tribal with Phelddagrif Deck

I might also recommend Paradise Mantle which can give your commander an easy tap effect and extra ramp effect

Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion of you want to go into +1/+1 counters.

Surge Node if you want to lean into Charge counters.

Cool deck!!! Looks fun!
Since the DU reprint Adarkar Wastes is budget friendly.
Also would you consider Strionic Resonator as a way to copy medomai's triggered extr turn?
Could consider Mask of Memory over rogue's gloves.
Storm Herd seems on theme,
And you are missing some of my favorite flying 3 drops in azorius: Aven Mindcensor, Brazen Borrower, Nimble Obstructionist.
And id prefer even Disenchant or Forsake the Worldly over solemn offering.
Anyway just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!

McToters Hey, thanks for all the upvotes! I'm glad you seem to enjoy my decks.

That is not a combo I had considered. I'm only running Suture Priest of the three of them though. That 10 CMC cost on Storm Herd scares me off a bit, although any game that gets Smothering Tithe going generates plenty of mana. That could interact in an interesting way with Angel's Trumpet (another card I've considered but am not running currently) if Suture Priest isn't going to kill everyone immediately. That would require a pretty strong pillow fort situation to feel safe. Probably not going to include the Herd mostly because I would think that if I have the mana to cast it and win with that combo, then there's a pretty good chance I can get there with my Hippo Storm strategy anyway. If I did want to lean even more into pillow fort and include Angel's Trumpet, I'd probably find a slot for the Herd though.

Hive Mind however has my wheels spinning a bit. Probably not for this deck, but I love thinking about the amount of chaos this could introduce to the game. I decided that my philosophy for this deck is that everyone can draw all the cards and have all the lands they could want, but I don't want to share anything else. I wouldn't want to share my tutors or counterspells, or certainly Approach of the Second Sun. I love that Hive Mind doesn't even give you the option, you have to copy it. Imagine everyone drawing their entire deck by casting a large Prosperity... Now my imagination is piqued and I'm gonna start thinking about a deck that does nothing but cause chaos.

So again, thanks for all the upvotes, and indeed now for planting the seeds for my possible next deck!

Nice deck--I used to run Pheldy years ago. You've probably thought about this combo but what about Storm Herd + Suture Priest + Hive Mind? You are already running two out of the three.

Again, great brew! Cheers

Karn's Bastion is a pretty good idea. This deck is pretty mana intensive, though, so I'm not sure what I'd cut for it. Isolated Watchtower? Was debating cutting Storm Herd or Celestial Mantle, too.

Enduring Angel  ^Flipis interesting, but seems really niche. The fact that she can only flip if you hit 0 life makes me sad. Cool card, probably not for this deck, though. Pristine Angel seems great but as I learned with my Rebbec/Glacian deck and my Multani, Maro-Sorcerer deck, protection like effects can also have the drawback of not being able to target your own stuff.

Concerted Effort seems insane for Akroma decks. I don't really think it'd be worth a spot here just to mainly add vigilance. There are only a handful of creatures that add other keywords that would make it worth it. It's a good recommendation and I added it to the maybeboard for anyone else interested, though!

Got a big list of possible inclusions and cards to cut for ya. I'll try to keep things budget(ish) friendly, but there's a few I'm not suggesting that're worth trading up for.

Inclusions: Fury of the Horde, Mizzix's Mastery, Relentless Assault, Seize the Day, World at War, Razia's Purification, Mystical Tutor, Mind's Desire, Bonus Round, and/or Storm Herd.

Cuts: Approach of the Second Sun, Reconstruct History, Solve the Equation, Conjurer's Closet, and a few counterspells.

TheBubbaEA It really depends on your playgroup's meta when considering certain strategies. If your group has a lot of board wipes 3.45 will be too slow and hard to rebuild a board state if you are hard casting all your creatures. For me personally I like explosive turns so I find ways to generate a lot of tokens or cheat out a bunch of creatures near the end game (in my playgroup turn 10+). For example using effects like Omniscience , Rise of the Dark Realms .

If you do choose to go more aggro angels may not be the best option due to their avg high cmc. But if you do stick with angels a couple other cards worth considering would be:

1. Herald of War
2. Herald's Horn
3. Oketra's Monument
4. Warden of Evos Isle
5. The Book of Exalted Deeds
6. Thraben Watcher
7. Righteous Valkyrie
8. Valkyrie Harbinger
(There are other cards with similar effect)
9. Bishop of Wings
10. Speaker of the Heavens
11. Geist of Saint Traft

Some other cards I like, although may not be quite right for this deck:

1. Basri Ket (For that -2) similar to Launch the Fleet
2. Basri's Lieutenant
3. Luminous Broodmoth
4. Brought Back
5. Storm Herd (Very high cmc but high reward when paired with Odric, Lunarch Marshal + Akroma, Vision of Ixidor )
6. Well of Lost Dreams

Some white staples(some are quite expensive):

1. Smothering Tithe
2. Mangara, the Diplomat
3. Esper Sentinel
4. Land Tax
5. Felidar Retreat
6. Keeper of the Accord
7. Archaeomancer's Map
8. Verge Rangers

Sorry only white cards come to mind as I myself was building a mono white angels deck.
