Hey, the Pain lands, Underground River, Shivan Reef and Sulfurous Springs were just reprinted making them budget land options. They ETB untapped and can be another source of making yourself lose life to make mana. They could replace basic lands or add a lot of them for the price of one Otawara, Soaring City.

Plunge into Darkness can be risky, but it's 2 mana to lose as much life as you want while also potentially finding a Shadow. Apostle's Blessing can protect for 1 mana + 2 life.

Hey, you left out highlighting or explaining the best infinite combo with Urza you have here. Urza + Myr Battlesphere + Ashnod's Altar = infinite Myrs, infinite colorless mana, infinite copies of all artifacts you control and infinite damage to each player with Breya.

Nice version so far on a semi budget, but build around the Urza + Battlesphere + Altar combo with more protection? Consider more combo protection? Urza + Battlesphere + Altar combo can be activated at instant speed at any time as long as you control all three permanents and have 6 colorless mana available. You're going to want more than 6 colorless mana if you intend to activate the combo though because you'll also want instant protection.

Darksteel Forge and Padeem, Consul of Innovation can protect Altar + Battlesphere, but they can't protect Urza without additional effect to make Urza an artifact. In the combo Urza is also not leaving the battlefield making him much easier to protect.


Assembling combos in Breya is made much easier with Wishclaw Talisman and because it's an artifact it has insane interaction with Breya. You can sac Wishclaw before opponent gains control of it, but still tutor for your card. When you activate Wishclaw it puts the entire effect as one trigger onto the stack. In response sac Wishclaw, putting it into your graveyard, then when you resolve Wishclaw trigger you tutor for your card, but opponent doesn't gain control of Wishclaw because it's no longer on the battlefield. Pair Wishclaw with Goblin Welder, Emry, Lurker of the Loch, Goblin Engineer or any other artifact recursion/reanimation source for a repeatable tutor.

Master Transmuter is powerful with high CMC artifacts especially when she can help assemble combos Darksteel Forge and Myr Battlesphere. It's also nice with Breya as a source to create more Thopters for 1 mana or to abuse any other artifact that has an ETB ability.


Consider more Pain lands and Artifact lands? They could replace some basic lands to improve color fixing/Breya interaction which can help gameplay. 23 basic lands is a lot in a four color deck.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, well done version on a budget.

If you like Thopters and want to make your deck more competitive then consider adding the budget Sword + Foundry combo? Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry creates Thopters equal to the amount of mana you have available. Foundry sacs Sword, moving Sword to graveyard, Foundry creates a 1/1 Thopter which then returns Sword to the battlefield attached to the Thopter and repeat. Even without Foundry, Sword is a good artifact with Breya for sac fodder because it can return to the battlefield.

If you add Ashnod's Altar to Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry then it's a combo to create infinite Thopters. Create infinite Thopters on an opponent's turn and then attack with them on your next turn to win or attack with them you're same turn with Thopter Engineer. Each time you sac a Thopter with Altar you make enough mana to activate Foundry twice. One Thopter is saced to make colorless mana and the other isn't, results in creating infinite Thopters and infinite colorless mana. Altar was just reprinted in the latest set Brothers War (BRO), Retro Artifacts version (BRR), it's down to $5.

Breya and her Thopters can be a wincon with Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle combo. Because Breya can sac herself to do 3 damage to a player then this can enable Deathmantle to repeatedly return her to the battlefield resulting in doing infinite damage to each opponent, 3 damage at a time. Altar sacs a Thopter + Breya which makes 4 mana and when Breya dies it triggers Deathmantle. Pay the 4 to return Breya to the battlefield and repeat. It's great for synergy that all these combo pieces are artifacts making it much easier to assemble them.


Wishclaw Talisman is busted with Breya because it's an artifact, she can sac it along with any other artifact before an opponent gains control of it. When you activate Wishclaw that puts the entire effect on the stack. In response to this, activate Breya and sac Wishclaw. When you resolve the Wishclaw trigger you search for your card, put it into your hand and since Wishclaw is no longer on the battlefield then an opponent doesn't gain control of it, it instead is in your graveyard to be recurred. Wishclaw is great with Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Goblin Welder for a repeatable tutor.

I see Unwinding Clock here which is good with Master Transmuter because it's an artifact and it taps for it's ability. Transmuter has a unique powerful effect because of the way it's worded, it doesn't target, you can return the same artifact you bounce to your hand right back to the battlefield. With Clock + Breya you can create two Thopters on each player's turn equal to the number of players. Transmuter is also great to cheat high CMC artifacts onto the battlefield by bouncing any artifact you control. Especially high CMC artifacts if they have an ETB ability such as Myr Battlesphere to keep creating Myrs, Spine of Ish Sah to keep destroying opponent permanents, Thought Monitor for repeatable draw, etc.


Making some land changes within your budget can make your deck more competitive by cutting some lands that always ETB tapped for lands that don't. The Pain lands and other lands like them are excellent budget lands especially when your Commander can gain life. They ETB untapped to make colorless mana or you take 1 damage to make a colored mana. The Pains have been reprinted in the last two Standard sets making them the least expensive right now. You can also start to find some Pain lands in new Commander precons which is a welcomed manabase upgrade.

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Budget Slivers

Hey, nice version so far for well under $100.

40 lands is a lot, consider cutting some for some more low mana cost ramp for five colors to help gameplay?

Manaweft Sliver is the other staple mana dork Sliver. Sol Ring is staple budget mana rock in Commander. On a low budget and playing five colors Commander's Sphere is fine.

Because playing five colors then Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse are better than the New Capenna fetches. Wilds or Expanse can get any type basic land not just one of three types.

Unclaimed Territory is a helpful land when playing so many different colored Slivers and it enters the battlefield untapped.

Some of the Pain lands got reprinted in the newest set Dominaria United and those lands are down to $2 or less each right now. Pain lands enter the battlefield untapped to make colorless or colored mana to speed up gameplay. By replacing some basic lands with more dual lands that can enter the battlefield untapped that can make the color of the basic land it replaced or another color this can improve gameplay as well as color fixing.

The Tango lands are other budget lands that care about basic lands. These lands are good with Farseek, land ramp that can better color fix.


After these land changes, example upgraded budget 36 land five color manabase (20 G, 17 W, 17 R, 15 U, 14 B):

This advice was just about improving the manabase and ramp, if you're interested I offer more advice on other areas. Would you like more advice?

Good luck with your deck.

Sheriff_K on Alesha, Who Smiles With Pride

In regards to Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  Flip, you're looking at it wrong, I consider it Ramp, Card Draw, and a Discard outlet.. the flipside potentially getting some value is just a bonus. And Flameshadow Conjuring is like a cheaper Strionic Resonator doubling ETB triggers for value.

In regards to the mana base, honestly I wouldn't know what to replace aside from Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic and Basic Swamps.. I don't really wanna go down on the Snow Duals, since they turn on the Duergar Hedge-Mage, and the Scry on Temples is great. You're right though about the reprinted Sulfurous Springs, it was so pricy before.

The reason I'm not running Goblin Bombardment, is because I'd rather my combo pieces be able to be reanimated with Alesha or serve another purpose (in the case of Ashnod's Altar, it's also Ramp.) Without a Goblin/Token strategy I feel Goblin Bombardment falls flat.

Skyclave Apparition IS an interesting choice.. I'd probably consider swapping Ravenous Chupacabra for it if anything, as that's the weakest ETB interaction creature (most of the others have combos.)

The main reason I don't have Exotic Orchard (or namely Fellwar Stone, since I'm still tempted to run Exotic Orchard) is because it's a gamble, since you may not always have opponents with the Colors you need.. And between Alesha's Cost and her Activation, you really wanna hit the RIGHT Colors.

As for Bone Shredder, I really like it since it sacs itself (Echo) to be recurred again later.

PS. Honestly I had no idea Flameshadow Conjuring combo'd with Felidar Guardian... lol. I only had it there for value. But yeah, there are so many combos with many interchangeable pieces in the deck, which I love.

PSS. Yeah, Talisman of Indulgence does take up a ton of budget, but it was... an indulgence ;P (not sorry for the pun.) I just wanted the symmetry/beauty(?) of having all the Talismans in the deck (same goes for the Temples, even though one of them might not be as good as the others Color-wise.)

Hey, really nice budget version on less than $200. You have excellent deck building skills on a such a low budget. Calling this a $100 deck is a stretch though since it's closer to $200 now than $100.

The manabase has been neglected, really none of the $100 budget used, that's my only criticism. Allocate some of $100 budget, not even a lot, to lands to improve gameplay? Talisman of Indulgence, Flameshadow Conjuring, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  Flip these cards really don't matter in the scheme of things trying to combo with Alesha. You have Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Fable is a lesser/more expensive Kiki that doesn't interact with Alesha. Conjuring only combos with Felidar Guardian, but so does Kiki and Kiki combos with a lot of other cards too.

The combined price of these three cards is almost $30, that much could really improve the manabase.

These are least expensive playable lands to consider adding. On a budget the Reveal/Snarl lands are fine since playing many basic lands. The next tier of budget land upgrades are the Check lands at $5 each. After them it goes much higher.


Some budget card changes to consider:

Goblin Bombardment is one of the best sac outlets in Commander since it's also a wincon, replacing the need to have an aristocrat with combos. Cultist of the Absolute is amazing for one mana, giving Alesha flying with 6 power combined with first strike and being a repeatable sac outlet at your upkeep. Skyclave Apparition just got reprinted and it's excellent repeatable exile most nonland permanent effect.

Good luck with your deck.

DreadKhan on Bloodcrank

You probably should look for a better 1 drop than Kird Ape, you only have 2 Forests in your deck (Deathcap Glade isn't a Forest for the record). I like Vexing Devil, it's usually good for either 4 damage for R or they use interaction on a 1 drop, both cases are pretty good in my experience. There is also Dragon's Rage Channeler, which is also a strong 1 drop in Red, but it wants more card types to help you hit Delirium sooner, so I prefer Devil in a deck like this. If you took out the Green lands that AFAIK aren't doing much, you can put in a dual land, maybe Sulfurous Springs or Blood Crypt, both are very popular because they come in untapped. Blood Crypt btw is a Mountain, so you can also sacrifice it to Fireblast, which is pretty good upside. If you have the budget for them Fetch lands are really powerful, and could allow you to run more Fireblast (as you'll always pull out non-basics).

YMMV, but I don't like Goblin Guide, it's too small too soon and can give opponent's card advantage, clearing out a bunch of lands can easily be worth the damage from them. It's a popular card in Burn I understand, specifically because you care so much about those few points of extra damage, even if it gives the opponent cards.

Not sure if you can reliably cast it early, but Hymn to Tourach is just devastating to many decks. If you find you face Reanimator decks, I would play Innocent Blood over removal that misses Black creatures, maybe better for the Sideboard. Also, if you've got Ascension online, good old Smallpox feels unbelievable I bet, that's not only killing a creature/land and making them discard, it's also putting 3 things into the bin total for BB. In addition, it also feeds your Kroxa quite efficiently, since it also fills your bin. You might even trim creatures to run Innocent Blood and Smallpox, and just have Kroxa or combo to win, that way you won't worry about killing your own. There are some creature lands and creature artifacts that can be run with Edicts if you still want creature damage for some reason, ranging from Mishra's Factory to Rakdos Keyrune, which is a surprisingly relevant body due to First Strike (and 2 mana to activate is just absurd I find). Still, if you can keep a board clear, Phyrexian Totem is huge for 2B.

Really out there, but if you're going to run lots of Basic lands, you might like Blood Moon, I assure you most opponents in Legacy do not, as most decks revolve around non-basic lands. You should still have access to Swamps, so you might not even notice the effect, but an opponent might not be able to play at all. Again, maybe a Sideboard card, I could see you switching it in, even taking the combo out for if you think the opponent boarded in answers, Blood Moon is a brutal card that wins games all by itself, you just want a body or two out. If you did board in Blood Moon, you could also board in some efficient creatures to close things alongside, tutoring up Blood Moon is kinda scary actually.

Anyways, cool deck, hope some of these weird ideas are food for thought!
