Hey, nice version with a really high budget. Is this really version 60 of your deck?

Your deck currently doesn't have a Commander. In the deck editor remove The Ur-Dragon from the sideboard and put it main deck, then add the CMDR tag to the end of The Ur-Dragon text.

1x The Ur-Dragon *CMDR*

When you save and return to the decklist The Ur-Dragon will show as the Commander with it's card image and own Commander category.

The manabase here is really powerful except Temple of the False God and the 10 Scry lands look out of place compared to all other lands. Ancient Tomb could replace Temple, Exotic Orchard, some Fetch lands and/or Shock lands and/or Bond lands could replace the Scry lands. Arcane Signet is a staple mana rock for five colors and it could replace Rampant Growth. Dragons like to attack thus consider adding some repeatable even infinite attack combos that use Dragons?

• Old Gnawbone + Hellkite Charger and you already have Charger.
• Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw and you already have Ventmaw.

Gnawbone could replace Ramos, Dragon Engine and Assault could replace Wild Pair.

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Strefan Modified (needs help)

3 weeks ago

Hey, well done with your upgrades to the precon. There's some cards in the precon to consider adding back in.

• Command Tower: staple land.
• Stensia Masquerade: more first strike effects for Strefan and more effects to make him bigger when he does combat damage to a player.
• Bloodtracker: flying Vamp, draw and can be a repeatable way to create Blood by making yourself lose life. This Vamp is also really good with Necropolis Regent and Stensia Masquerade.
• Champion of Dusk: Vamp to cheat with Strefan for draw as well as create Blood since you lose life.
• Bloodsworn Steward: flying Vamp who can make Strefan bigger.

Cards that could be cut for these:

• Temple of the False God
• Vampiric Dragon
• Kamber, the Plunderer: Wizards printed this card wrong, it's been errata to only trigger when an opponent's creature dies which makes it much worse for a four drop.
• Crimson Honor Guard
• Timothar, Baron of Bats

---

Some upgrades within the budget to consider:

• Cryptolith Fragment  ^Flip --> Commander's Sphere
• Sanctum of Stone Fangs --> Grim Bounty
• Leechridden Swamp --> 1x Swamp
• Florian, Voldaren Scion --> Dominating Vampire
• Cranial Plating --> Wedding Invitation
• Mask of Memory --> Endless Obedience
• Tibalt's Trickery --> Dash Hopes
• Chaos Warp --> Ultimate Price

Cryptolith Fragment  ^Flip is a mana rock to create Blood since it makes each player lose life. Sanctum of Stone Fangs is repeatable way to create Blood before combat on your turn. Leechridden Swamp is a land that can repeatedly create Blood for one mana.

Florian, Voldaren Scion is a Vamp who can be a lot of card advantage along with plenty of card selection. Florian doesn't care how your opponents lose life during the turn making it excellent with Fragment, Shrine and Leechridden and he doesn't have to attack to trigger.

Cranial Plating is tech to make Strefan huge since Blood tokens are artifacts. Mask of Memory is repeatable draw especially when your Commander has flying and wants to keep attacking.

Good luck with your deck.

I think you should cut: Brutalizer Exarch, Conduit of Ruin, Frost Titan, Giant Adephage, Myr Battlesphere, Oblivion Sower, Pelakka Wurm, Phyrexian Ingester, Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, Rattleclaw Mystic, Sagu Mauler, Simic Sky Swallower, Sphinx Ambassador, Stalking Vengeance, Tornado Elemental, Plasm Capture, Pandemonium, Sunken Hope, Tezzeret the Seeker, Chromatic Lantern, Darksteel Ingot, Disaster Radius, Explosive Vegetation, Heat Shimmer, Rude Awakening, and Spelltwine. As for lands, I do think you should replace: Izzet Boilerworks, Spawning Bed, and Temple of the False God.

I think you should add: Temur Sabertooth, Genesis Ultimatum, Etali, Primal Storm, Skyshroud Claim, Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Chaos Warp, Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient, Terror of the Peaks, Kodama of the East Tree, Reclamation Sage, Kogla, the Titan Ape, Consecrated Sphinx, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Wood Elves, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, Diluvian Primordial, Prime Speaker Zegana, Release to the Wind, Return of the Wildspeaker, Nature's Lore, Three Visits, Garruk's Uprising, Guardian Project, Unnatural Growth, and Arcane Signet.

I do think one option that you have is replacing all signets with mana dorks like Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, and Elvish Mystic

If you are able to find more slots, I think you should consider: Hullbreaker Horror, Thryx, the Sudden Storm (dependent on count of spells with 5 cmc or more), Soothsaying, Mulldrifter, Beast Whisperer (dependent on final count of creatures), Rishkar's Expertise, Turntimber Symbiosis  ^Flip, See the Unwritten, Balefire Dragon, Scourge of the Throne, Bane of Progress (I feel like you do not have a ton of high value artifacts or enchantments that would cause this to cripple you), Momir Vig, Simic Visionary, and Genesis Storm.

DreadKhan on Saryth, natural partner of Fynn

Not sure if I'm missing something, but why do you have 45 lands? That is as many as I run in my Tatyova Lands deck, which wins the game via lands mostly, specifically my Commander offers a payoff for landfall. I see you have a few payoffs for landfall, but it still seems like a lot. Anyways, a few thoughts!

First thought, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar would probably work well in here, maybe even as a Commander. He often end up quite big, and he comes with Trample and a recursion effect. You can still run Ohran Frostfang and Bow of Nylea for Deathtouch, and you could run Saryth in the 99 still. Just an out there thought to start off with, not trying to be negative.

I think Isochron Scepter probably wants more potential 'hits' (you have 2 afaik, I find having quite a few more, and some tutors for Instants and Artifacts still doesn't set it up very often).

Crucible of Worlds seems odd in here too, for one Ramunap Excavator does similar work and is a more useful type (and your Commander can get the creature Hexproof), and on the other hand your deck runs enough lands that you'll hit drops to turn 6 usually. I'm going to list a few utility lands that might help by giving mana sinks or card draw to help when you get flooded: Bonders' Enclave and War Room might work out, offering a mana sink and card draw to help smooth out bad draws. You could consider Geier Reach Sanitarium and/or Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, but these help everyone. Tyrite Sanctum is a good utility land in more casual play, offering +1 counters or Indestructible. Temple of the False God can blow up in your face a bit with a terrible hand, but it's usually a ramp land if you run this many lands. Inkmoth Nexus might work well with +1 counters, and it dodges wipes usually. Tower of the Magistrate is useful vs Voltron, you can give an opponent's creature protection, dropping all it's equipment IIRC, which can be pretty funny the first time. Homeward Path can be nice in Green, if people steal your better creatures it feels pretty bad. Any of the G lands with Cycling like Slippery Karst or Tranquil Thicket can be nice with a higher land count. Blighted Woodland or Myriad Landscape offer ramp, but are slow or use a lot of mana to do it. I actually like Opal Palace in a deck that can benefit from it in 1v1, and you should have lots of mana on hand to make the tax pretty insignificant. If you can recast your Commander a few times, they end up reasonably beefy.

Time of Need can find Fynn or Toski. Have you thought about more removal, mostly for artifacts and enchantments, but Green has access to some creature removal, so-so stuff like Kamahl’s Will exist at this point, or the reasonably useful Transmogrifying Wand for repeated Destroy. Silklash Spider or even Squallmonger can help deal with Flying decks, which are frustrating. I also run Sandwurm Convergence in my mono G deck, otherwise I consistently lose to faster flying decks like Talrand (a very nasty 1v1 Commander), ymmv though.

Looks like a fun deck! My version of Lazav is more vorthos/lore-based, so you've got a lot of good choices I'd otherwise put into my deck. Bloodchief Ascension is amazing here.

Some good milling cards I would add are Maddening Cacophony, Fractured Sanity and Drown in Dreams. All are fairly cheap to cast, and the first two hit all opponents while Drown in Dreams can draw you cards. Great when you've got a ton of mana from the Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Cabal Coffers combo.

Another great card for Lazav, Dimir Mastermind is Grinning Totem. It might be a little expensive, but its basically a tutor to go look through your opponents deck and find something for Lazav to turn into. You could also reanimate it afterwards too for extra value.

Personally, I'd drop Temple of the False God, since the commander is colored mana only, its kinda a feels bad card in an opening hand. Maybe something like Rogue's Passage to make some of your creature connect without issue, like Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker or Wrexial, the Risen Deep

multimedia on Runo stormkirk duel wielding sea monsters

1 month ago

Hey, good first draft. I'm having a lot of fun with Krothuss; Runo is just along for the ride.

Your deck doesn't have a Commander. In the deck editor after Runo Stromkirk text add CMDR.

1x Runo Stromkirk (DBL) *CMDR*

When you save and return to the deck Runo will be the official Commander with it's own category and card image.

---

Consider cutting a few lands: Temple of the False God and some basic lands, for some more cards to help setup Runo to transform?

• Scroll Rack
• Lim-Dul's Vault
• Buried Alive
• Frantic Search

Hullbreaker Horror is a new Kraken who has great interaction with Krothuss. Hullbreaker + Sol Ring + Mana Crypt is infinite colorless mana by bounce/cast each of these mana rocks. Hullbreaker + Sol Ring + Mox Amber is infinite colorless mana as well as blue/black mana if you control Runo or Krothuss. If you control token copies of Hullbreaker then these combos can bounce all your opponents nonland permanents and keep doing this on your turn to lock your opponents out of having nonland permanents as well as clear the battlefield of blockers to attack.

Wonder is powerful for Kraken who don't have evasion such as Hullbreaker, Spawning Kraken, 9/9 Kraken tokens, etc. An effect to give all creatures you control flying is needed with Stormtide Leviathan. Buried Alive can get Wonder as well as two other creatures you want to reanimate or help to transform Runo.

Vile Entomber has Entomb which can be helpful with Krothuss. Vile can first support to setup Runo then when Krothuss/Vile attack make a token copy of it to get Wonder while in combat. Baleful Strix is a good Dimir creature and can be repeatable draw with Krothuss. Mutate Strix with Sea-Dasher Octopus on top for a draw engine with Krothuss.

---

Some upgrades to consider:

• Hullbreaker Horror --> Shipbreaker Kraken
• Wonder --> Fleet Swallower
• Vile Entomber --> Elder Deep-Fiend
• Baleful Strix --> Cadaver Imp
• Mox Amber --> Hedron Archive

Good luck with your deck.
