Nadu, Expedition Leader {2G}{R}{U}

Creatures you control have “Whenever this becomes the target of a spell or ability, it explores. If a card was put into your graveyard this way, this creature fights a creature. This ability only triggers once each turn.”

Shouldn’t be as bad, since you’re not putting lands directly onto the battlefield. Your forces may also eventually turn on eachother if there aren’t enough opposing creatures to fight.

The most and best wheel cards are in {U} and {R}, so you need at least one of those colors, and preferably both. Xyris, the Writhing Storm and

Breaking it down, wheeling has four key parts: you discard, you draw, opponents discard, and opponents draw. This is a very simple, slightly curated list of commander options that care about at least one of these.

"Whenever you draw"

• Niv-Mizzet, Parun

• Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

• Queza, Augur of Agonies

• Shabraz, the Skyshark  ^Flip (partners with Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip)

• Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

• The Locust God

• The Watcher in the Water

• Toothy, Imaginary Friend

"Whenever you discard"

• Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip (partners with Shabraz, the Skyshark  ^Flip)

• Inti, Seneschal of the Sun

• Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

• Rielle, the Everwise

• Toluz, Clever Conductor

"Whenever an opponent draws"

• Leela, Sevateem Warrior (Doctor's companion)

• Nekusar, the Mindrazer

• Xyris, the Writhing Storm

• Zurzoth, Chaos Rider

"Whenever an opponent discards"

• Nath of the Gilt-Leaf

• Tourach, Dread Cantor

Some side options are reanimator, since you're going to be filling graveyards fast, and spellslinger, since most of the straightforward options are instants and sorceries.

What do you guys think of wheeler commanders? like The Locust God , Queza, Augur of Agonies etc? too boring and straight to the point? what other crazy stuff can we do with them? are there any other not-obvious-wheeler commanders hidden out there? perhaps...Soul of Windgrace ? o.o i honestly feel like if u get caress/wake/megrim/waste not and a couple of wheels, youre pretty much multikilling everybody else and thats it :V

NV_1980 on Ghyrson Starn Shot First

I think your deck can indeed do without Gimli and Prankster. I'd also suggest considering replacing these:

• Corrupted Conscience: there are more beneficial ways to grant Ghyrson infect (like Grafted Exoskeleton). And if it's not for Ghyrson, why is this in here? Your deck doesn't seem to have a thievery theme or any other thievery cards.
• Midnight Clock: I'd maybe include this in a sideboard if the deck was much heavier on the non-permanents (compared to the permanents). Is your meta very mill-heavy or does it easily wipe your creatures? Then I would also get it. If not, this slot can be used better for something else.
• Ovika, Enigma Goliath: in my view not really worth its CMC in this deck. It helps you generate the odd token to do what? Attack/block? That's not really what your strat is dependent on though, is it? It's much easier to kill lots of stuff with Ghyrson. I'd say something similar about The Locust God, though he's more reliable as you'll definitely draw every turn (and then some).

SteelSentry on Craterhoof Behemoth or Moonshaker Cavalry?

10 months ago

Craterhoof Behemoth is fetchable by Summoner's Pact and Green Sun's Zenith, which would make me personally lean towards Hoof. Besides that, it depends on the meta; if you've got a deck that pumps out little flyers like The Locust God or Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revival you regularly play against, there's a good chance they might survive the cavalry, but there's also decks that are totally vulnerable in the air that would have no chance.

Interesting read given my nekusar deck. Drawing Cards Friendly Like

Mine is a bit more symetrical than yours, but there are a few bits that might be handy. Jaya, Venerated Firemage or Torbran, Thane of Red Fell will basically be lightning rods as they double/triple your damage output.

Also in my Combo category is a bunch of creatures that benefit a ton from card draw. Chasm Skulker Ominous Seas Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim and The Locust God could be beneficial if you don't find yourself fielding enough creatures to block/swing when someone is open.
