Fog Draw EDH
5 months ago
I got to play a bunch this weekend! The deck performed well I've updated the list to match what I've currently got, my local shop was missing some singles.
Generous Gift moved back to the maybeboard but only cause I couldn't buy it this weekend.
I found that the deck worked quite well but I obviously couldn't close out games. I had a few scenarios where Selvala, Explorer Returned could repeat pretty much forever thanks to Sword of the Paruns or Umbral Mantle and Smothering Tithe + 4 players in the game. Flipping my commander till deck out was too painful to ever actually do so games ended with scooping.
The take away is that I need to be able to end games just to save everybody's sanity. More things like Felidar Sovereign and Psychosis Crawler are needed. Helix Pinnacle is a meme and I'll basically never pull it off. So here is the maybe board for actually finishing games.
Viseling Storm Seeker Black Vise Iron Maiden Sword of War and Peace
Some other cards that look interesting to me are Credit Voucher to help me find the above win conditions and Champions of Minas Tirith as another tax. I found that the deck was excellent at filling everybody's hands as expected.

This deck looks awesome! It looks super fun to play. I think you can tune it a bit more to make it more consistent, though.
I think the fog effects can be cut, personally. In exchange, I would add some more boardwipes, like Evacuation, Chain Reaction, and Anger of the Gods.
I also think some of the higher-costed instants and sorceries can go, such as Steam Augury, Storm Seeker, Prophetic Bolt, Spiraling Embers, and Time Reversal. I think all of these cards are outclassed by cards that either cost less, or do more for a comparable cost.
If you like dealing non-combat damage, I love Price of Progress. It is cheap, affects everyone, and Riku usually can rely on basic lands.
Maybe consider adding more copy effects like Twincast, Narset's Reversal, Refuse / Cooperate, Clever Impersonator, Phantasmal Image, Dack's Duplicate, etc...? I like the versatility of these cards in that they mirror the table. Nobody can complain that you are playing something strong when you are just copying your opponents!

Pikobyte I want the snakes to be a facade, when in reality the cards like Storm Seeker and Gaze of Adamaro are the true wincon cards. The idea is that people will not see it coming

Selvala "Twiddlestorm Explorer" cEDH Primer

Cloudstone Curio
isn't there as a tutor target (although it can be if it wins the game), especially since only one card in the deck can tutor for it (
Enlightened Tutor
), but rather because it has just as many combo applications as
Temur Sabertooth
, so it's one card that offers many more potential combos.
I was probably going to try
Ranger-Captain of Eos
soon anyway, so it's good to know that you've had success with it.
While
Storm Seeker
sounds funny, I can't think of a single scenario in which I would want it, so I don't ever see myself playing it.
Penance
seems like too cute of an interaction with Selvala and not nearly enough upside. a) It doesn't let you win without passing priority, because you still need to untap Selvala somehow, and that would require passing priority, and b) if your opponents receive priority, they almost always will have a way to stop you (because they are drawing their entire deck.
I'm not entirely sure why I'm not running
Sylvan Library
, I guess it just never made it's way into my deck. I'll probably throw it in sometime.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Selvala "Twiddlestorm Explorer" cEDH Primer

Cool deck, Selvala has been a pet deck of mine for years and one I always go back to. I don't know that it'll ever break that barrier of being on the fringe of the better decks but that's not the end of the world. Curious what you think of Cloudstone Curio in here? I've actually run it for awhile but it never ends up on the field since if I do have a tutor I'm usually looking for something else.
My deck is purposefully less streamlined in order to play with more of a midrange strategy so I've dumped a few of the dorks for heavier cards like ( Alhammarret's Archive Akroma's Memorial and Mana Reflection . I still feel like I've nearly always had a turn 2 Selvala play, and fairly often can ramp into one of those bombs right off the bat.
One recent add I've made that you might want to test with is Ranger-Captain of Eos . Tutoring for Quirion Ranger or Symbiote is great, and then you have that Silence effect rattlesnake on the board. Another card that just over-performs all the time for me is the classic Storm Seeker . In a competitive meta when someone goes Ad Naus at the end step, responding with an instant speed direct damage spell in green gets a great laugh at the table.
Another interaction you might want to play with is Penance or any other similar effect. If you have a way to tap/untap Selvala and you have Penance on the table, you can mill out your opponents and win without giving up priority.
Lastly, since you are referring to a comp meta, any reason you're not running Sylvan Library? It's a slam dunk to draw you three every turn when you're gaining tons of life with Selvala.
Anyway - great deck!

Samut - an Exploration of Naya Aikido

@majorappliance thanks for the comment! It’s funny you mention that, after my first play testing that is the first change coming through haha. Storm Seeker while flavorful has felt extremely lackluster. I expected that but still wanted to try it out because it feels very aikido.
My replacement card however is Electrodominance . Having more effects to play at instant speed is the best way to swing games with some of our more “battlecruiser-ish” cards.
