awsome! also i did some more digging for you and found some cards you might want :)

• Aquitect's Will evasion techniques for breaching defenses

• Agent of Treachery this will become great card draw

• Stolen Identity if your commander is combat-based this can copy your beefy creatures

• Lightning Greaves no combat deck is done without one XD but, in all seriousness, it will give a hug protection advantage and haste for any creature for 0 mana is great

• Grand Architect is great for artifact decks

• Arcanis the Omnipotent just some more card draw

• Padeem, Consul of Innovation will prevent the regain of your opponents' artifacts

• Sword of the Animist mono-blue ramp!

• Strionic Resonator copy your commanders trigger and steel 2 things

• Mirrorworks copy what you steel

• Curiosity more card draw

• Dissipation Field will make your opponents think twice when attacking

• Ugin, the Ineffable will make the artifacts you steel cost 2 less to cast

• Terrain Generator more mono-blue mana ramp

• Myriad Landscape and again some more mono-blue mana ramp

and don't forget to add in some fetch lands so you can thin out your deck and improve your chances of drawing the things you need. (when I mean fetch lands...I mean cards like Evolving Wilds or Scalding Tarn

also add in a Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or a Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre to prevent mill decks or to just reset after a bored wipe

WhiteTrashMagic thanks for the suggestion! I had completely forgot about Terrain Generator.

As for why I put Canopy Vista and Plains are in the "Mistveil enablers" section, it is because they tap for white and the deck does not run a non-trivial amount of white sources (there are 2 other white land options: Raugrin Triome and Sacred Foundry). So I think I will add a "Taps for White" section to clear up the confusion there.

Terrain Generator?

This is already pretty good for casual play. It's actually probably a bit better than a lot of casual decks. (Though not so powerful that you should worry about it). Making the deck legal was the important step.

With play you'll figure stuff out. The biggest thing is that you acknowledge when something is not working and actively do something about it. It will slowly become optimized.

Anyway, I would add some lands. Mathematically, you should have 36 (now at 30). I would add some cheap non-basics, I would go for:

Geier Reach Sanitarium (Synergizes with Commander and helps fix your hand) Isolated Watchtower (Synergizes with your high number of basic lands) Myriad Landscape (Ramps you) Terrain Generator (Ramps you) Command Tower (Both Colors) Temple of Epiphany (Both Colors)

I would still cut a lot more creatures and planeswalkers. In 4 player games, remember that people will only attack you as much as they feel that it is necessary. If it appears that you're doing very little, or you only intervene when necessary, people won't be attacking you. I would replace all but the creatures/planeswalkers that you feel are actually necessary and useful, rather than thinking you need them to attack/block.

Then, you will also probably want 5-10 mana rocks (artifacts that produce mana). Virtually every deck in EDH uses mana rocks, because the ones available with the card pool are generally much better than those in other formats. Good, budget examples are: Sol Ring Arcane Signet Fellwar Stone Mind Stone Thought Vessel Darksteel Ingot Skyclave Relic Prismatic Lens

And lastly, some other good budget cards are (I would recommend you pick some, not all of these):

Dispel Hidden Strings Desperate Ritual Seething Song Past in Flames Burning Inquiry Faithless Looting Mystic Remora Underworld Breach Blood Moon Time Reversal Bonus Round Molten Psyche Mana Geyser Merchant Scroll Echo of Eons Commit / Memory Gitaxian Probe Vandalblast Blasphemous Act Serum Visions Misdirection Flusterstorm Tolarian Winds Ponder Frantic Search

Also, if you ever get bored/tired of Izzet, Nekusar, the Mindrazer can be built to function very well and in a similar manner with virtually all of the cards you already have (or will have).

(Note: Some people who play EDH are very particular about playing against people with good decks. If you see people act uneasy around you because your deck is "too good", just remember that you can always try to lower the power of your deck or find other people to play with.)

Schafkurai on Jeskai Landfall

Love it! I'm tired of green landfall decks and was also thinking about all the other color combinations. There's a bunch of cool one's coming with Zendikar rising and a few more that you could consider would be the white creatures (Emeria Angel, Emeria Shepherd, Admonition Angel), the red pingers (Spitfire Lagac, Tunneling Geopede), good ramp/utility creatures (Knight of the White Orchid, Weathered Wayfarer). Useful artifacts include Ghirapur Orrery and Thaumatic Compass  ^Flip and some more lands that I find useful would be Ghost Town, all the "fetches" (Terramorphic Expanse, Fabled Passage, Evolving Wilds, Arid Mesa etc), the bouncelands e.g. Boros Garrison, Terrain Generator.

keep up the good work!

Could also mention Terrain Generator as a way to get more lands into play

Equanimityjohn on Vilis Suicide Black cEDH Primer

Thanks for the writeup. Was interested to see the combo potential of Vilis as I just incidentally got a copy of him to throw in one of my decks. I don't have many suggestions fortunately as I am not much of a cEDh player. Maybe Withering Boon or even Deathgrip (Veil of Blossoms? I am sure there are plenty more trouble green cards too).

Sudden Spoiling because sometimes you just need to freeze the stack.

Terrain Generator to dump extra lands to the field.

If you aren't keeping a ton of creatures around then maybe lean in to black's specialty in boardwipes. Toxic Deluge seems like a great choice.

Dark Confidant works wonders if you are confi-dent in your life gain. Of course there is always Phyrexian Arena and/or Dark Tutelage.

Definitely think the deck could use some more recurssion loops somehow. I don't know of the combos in monoblack but it can't be too hard to break Gray Merchant of Asphodel with something like Necromancy.

Love the list and I will be watching as you tweak it.

smilodex on Ezuri Combo Elves *Primer*

Wow what a cool looking Primer. Solid deck, you did an absolutely great job! I'm a big Elf tribal fan, because Elves where my first deck ever.

Cool cards that I personally enjoyed playing:

• Vivien, Monsters' Advocate = best green planeswalker atm! Cut Yeva and a Forest for Vivien and one/two of the following lands:
• Emergence Zone / Winding Canyons = instead of some Forests
• Sylvan Messenger / Collected Company / Lead the Stampede = much needed carddraw
• Survival of the Fittest / Birthing Pod / Yisan, the Wanderer Bard = best green Tutor-engines
• Ohran Frostfang / Runic Armasaur = really solid carddraw (/Rishkar's Expertise / Return of the Wildspeaker)
• Bane of Progress / Lignify / Song of the Dryads = very good green removal
• Isolated Watchtower / Terrain Generator / Path of Ancestry = cool lands you should consider instead of forests
• Aether Vial + enough draw can snowball really fast
• Cloudstone Curio = an insane combo piece/enabler, especially with: Aluren or Concordant Crossroads

This deck looks already pretty strong, if you want to play on a cEDH table, you just should do some small adjustments:

• Allosaurus Shepherd / Destiny Spinner = instead of the Herald
• Null Rod + Collector Ouphe!!
• Mana Crypt!!
• Chrome Mox / Mox Diamond
• Gemstone Caverns / Ancient Tomb
• Damping Sphere / Thorn of Amethyst = to stop storm decks and slow down other decks
• Sylvan Scrying = to tutor for Cradle or Cavern
• Carpet of Flowers/Wild Growth/Utopia Sprawl

I played elves in almost every format and cool combo from modern was: Cloudstone Curio + Heritage Druid + Nettle Sentinel = infinite mana or with something like Elvish Visionary or Beast Whisperer you can also draw your entire deck if you want
