Tangle Wire

Artifact

Fading 4 (This artifact enters the battlefield with four fade counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from it. If you can't, sacrifice it.)

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player taps an untapped artifact, creature, or land he or she controls for each fade counter on Tangle Wire.

It had not been implemented yet as I was asked to try and reduce some of the complexity. I don't think I succeeded.


Tutor:

"search your library for ... card..."

note that the list hasn't been implemented yet. That specific part does hit Magus, Balance and Cataclysm but doesn't hit Razia's Purification, Balancing Act nor Pox. I can add in an additional option for permanents, Pox has unique wording so will have to be manually added.

This is what I have so far.

Hi NeverCloud,

I am always a fan of Skittles, and Poison (aka Infect/Toxic) and am happy to see yet another deck in my favorite archetypes. First bit of advice I must give you is that you must build a proper deck description. You don't need to build a whole primer, but you need to inform the visitor to your page of what cards/synergies are important. Is this deck meant for a 4 player pod? Single player? What kind of decks do you want to match this deck up against?

As for card recommendations, I understand you are going for a more stax (shout out to that foil tangle wire btw, I have one of my own and I absolutely adore that card) approach but I think having a bit of ramp may help you have more consistent games. I suggest the following:

I'm curious as to why you lean more heavily into a discard theme as opposed to a voltron or proliferation subtheme? On that note, I do have some card suggestions for you:

  • Sword of Feast and Famine - this helps you break parity with Tangle Wirefoil and Static Orbfoil in play. Unfortunately, yes you can't target it with Hatred or Howl from Beyond but I think that's a small price to pay to be able to get all of your lands to untap after just one attack.

  • Phyresis Outbreak - this card gets poison counters on opponents without targeting them, and is only amplified in efficiency by your commander after it takes just one swing against an opponent. It may be slower than what you're looking for, but worth considering.

That's it from me, I don't want to inundate you with card options. But I am genuinely curious as to how your games look, and what your usual paths to victory are.

Forgot about other stuff and sideboard updates.

I see the problem with the 5 mana stuff, so I added a couple Helm of Awakening to try and reduce the cost a little. Has to be colorless since almost all of my 5 drops are artifacts. Speaking of 5 drops, i added a single Mangara's Tome as a way to kind of tutor with a added risk. More tweaking foreseeable in the future. I know it's jank, no need to tell me.

As for the sideboard I took out Black Vise for Red Elemental Blast. Forgot what I took out, but I put 3 Burnout in there. Added a couple Tangle Wire, leave the creature hate alone and I think it's fine.

Also as for the whole Dwarven Ruins thing, I'm actually debating if I should replace those, or take out two mountains for the Balduvian Trading Posts. Again I'm very much in debate over this.

I use some pieces from the Necron deck in my Glissa, the Traitor deck. It has a lot of artifacts going in and out of the graveyard, so those Necron cards were an easy slot in.

If you want to lean into a more staxy/control version, there are several additional cards that can work well with her (Torpor Orb, Smokestack, Tangle Wire, Grave Pact, etc)

I've got some of those in my version of Glissa. Shameless plug for my deck haha. Glissa, Traitor of Mirrodin [Artifact Primer]

Looks fun!

I might recommend Smoke and Tangle Wire if you want more stax.

Also, Unwinding Clock could be great with your commander turning your artifacts into mana rocks

Tangle Wire very necessary. Definitely worth considering. Proliferation will break it.

Ensnaring Bridge great card. Run it often especially with Null Brooch. This is not a hellbent strategy but that "can't" is the kind of tax this strategy needs. I'll sleep on it.
