Hello again Chipeur!

Once people figure out Sunforger is the "focus" of the deck they do make efforts to keep it off the board. Some of our targets for Sunforger are with this in mind such as Boros Charm and Cosmic Intervention so if you are able to have an activation available it is an option.

Outside of that you are right we lack a large quantity of ways to get it back but Court of Ardenvale and Goblin Engineer are the ways we have that are repeatable and the most effective.

With the "weakness" of the deck being focused around the one card I sought out alternative ways to keep pressure on the board such as the token generation and the reanimation plans. It is also why the Sunforger package is a focus on spells that even if we don't get them with it still have a decent impact.

Tl;dr:

Yes it is easy to focus down the Sunforger but we have backup/parallel gameplans with token generation, reanimation and board control.

Hello Chipeur!

I am happy to hear the deck interests you and fulfills a gameplan you were looking for.

In terms of Bracket 4 I would say it can be strong but dedicated combo decks can be a problem since we have reactive removal instead of proactive effects. If you have decent threat assessment in your games you can make up for this shortcoming at times but it can be a struggle. I tend to play with the philosophy of "The Best Removal is Player Removal" so I will be more aggressive once I identify the problem player. A lot of people forget you don't need a massive board or a super powered up commander to win with combat. Just start swinging and watch the numbers drop.

I would say the most relevant GCs are Demonic TutorGC and Enlightened TutorGC due to being able to grab Sunforger and other pieces you may need. All of the others at the time of writing are more of a "win more" card and aren't completely necessary for the deck's gameplan. Removing Field of the DeadGC frees up some budget as well since you can alter the mana base to be more financially friendly as mine is currently built around the card.

Sorry for turning your deck list into an unrelated thread discussion. I'd just never seen the site before. Seemed suspect. My apologies.

On to the deck. 1+ from me for sure.

Sunforger could be a free tutor-cast for Boros Charm during Combat after declaring no blocker by opponent.

Such a great Commander. Way back in the way back, my playgroup made me change to something else even though my entire deck synergized around her. I still have it. Probably mostly because mine had tons of land destruction in it.

Malignus runs well with her.

I would be cool to run Sunforger to instant speed free tutor your Boros Charm.

Since you are playing Sunforger I would consider Boros Charm using it as a damage doubler with the unequip effect from Sunforger during combat.
