@GhostChieftain: (Analyzes options.)

…

Options found.

1. Time Warp : . A card made in response to Time Walk 's Undercosted cost. A balanced variant, & even one that doesn't exile itself.

2. Temporal Manipulation : A functional reprint of Time Warp; officially left the reserved list via ULTIMATE MASTERS as a Mythic Rare.

3. Savor the Moment : Inexpensive, but w/ the drawback of not being able to untap anything.

4. Timestream Navigator : Same cost as Time Walk , but requires her to be put on the bottom of the library for an extra turn; & that requires 10 Nontoken Permanents in play under your control. It's unknown how this deck can retrieve her for infinite extra turns.

5. Lighthouse Chronologist : A Level-Up Creature that when reaching Lv. 7; requiring 7 , allows an Extra Turn in between your opponents turns.

That's what I could find for good options...

Now for the rest:

Dang, poor Yanling isn't doing so well... Maybe the Starting 2 Loyalty DOES hurt?

Right landbase, huh... I think my Landbase may be such an example; I, mean, the list so far has Golos, Tireless Pilgrim , & Crucible of Worlds . I think the question after that is the last question about Wrenn and Six ; but not only is it the hardest to answer, but it involves the Instants & Sorceries having Retrace as an Emblem. Well, at least we have a 2CMC Walker that is great after the hell Tibalt went through until WAR; where he was improved just a little bit; but for the Half Devil, that's a Thumbsupsky enough.

Heh... I figured as much about Xenagos. Now I might be learning something...

Well, at least one Walker with a Starting Loyalty of 2 is to be added...

I know my center color is infamous as a gambling color, but I'm taking my chances on this.

Well, I will say this, I really appreciate all the help I could about this. But if I had one thing to say, it's...:

(Huh... Now I think about it, I think I might actually have learned something. But how can I even learn that very thing if I'm DEAD?!)

Well, I'm actually not dead; just a failed attempt to reference Scott Pilgrim (The Movie, obviously. Though it's a World of Sin that I'm the only Atoner who hates Wallace Wells; Bad art (Graphic Novels.). Bad personality (Both.). He isn't even good as anything. Sorry, but if I had a gripe about the film, Knives' Dad was mentioned, but never shown; & he is an absolute badass.)

No really though, this is going to sound really stupid, but as I'm making a Human Tribal deck as we speak, other plans are still imprinted in my head:

1. Is there a place anywhere in Commander for Inverter of Truth ? MTG Goldfish even stated this card as "Against all Odds" material, & has an episode about a deck tech about this.

2. It's quite ironic nobody wants to see a Mono- deck w/ elements outside of that of itself. We got Vivien's Arkbow , Tree of Tales , even Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger stated Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is nothing but a dumbass on all regards stating Nature is the prime winner; BUT STILL MADE ARTIFACT CREATURES in w/ quotes by him. Such hypocrisy from a Praetor that Nature is superior to actual though of mind, & INVENTED his own creatures! & this is before KALADESH! While we're at this, there even is Birthing Pod ; another Artifact. I actually have plans to make an anti- Mono- deck. I know everyone wants to say no, but after the accordion crap earlier on, I think it's time to settle the debate: Birds of Paradise to anyone w/ Reach (Spiders must die.). Philosophy of Nature to Philosophy of Evolution (Also Mono- possible, so it does work.), Impurity Killers to even what Thrun, the Last Troll , who is very supportive of the idea of artifice in spite of his Mono- status, as well as his kind driven to extinction. I'll proceed by the time I'm finished w/ my The Red Pill Vorthos Deck.

Sorry about all that. I've so many ideas, it's criminal. Well thanks for all you could; I'm guessing Inverter of Truth won't work in a The First Sliv deck about Casting Self-Exile Spells, while retrieving them back just as easily, are there any cards that can just retrieve Exiled cards FACE-DOWN (Face-Down being the key term; normally Exiled cards are face-up.)? If not, could it still work? I'll keep the Devoid Eldrazi in the Maybeboard until further notice. Well, I'll end this soon enough; but the other 2 projects are literally in my path currently; & wow. How I wasn't working on cEDH Boros after a second cEDH project in the works; sadly, I'm no Limited Edition ALPHA player, so to those that require expensive stuff, why? & are there any conventional reprints that do just as well?

Well, as Gene Wilder would say: Adieu. Adieu. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

The update wasn't that you no longer need all the targets, it was that all the targets no longer had to be different. To use their example, it used to be that if Tree of Tales was the only artifact out you had to choose another land. Now you can choose it for both artifact and for land.

Gattison Thanks for the upvote and suggestions!

Tree of Tales was in my original list until I added Arbor Elf and removed the Tree to increase my Forest count.

Copperhorn Scout is an interesting suggestion though her tiny body means she may die after 1 attack if all my opponents got blockers. Maybe I should add a "Kamikaze Squad" to my army of Gunners and Snipers!

Looks pretty tight already. +1! I love "pinging" decks. =D

There's not much left to suggest, except for Tree of Tales to match your Seat of the Synod and Trinket Mage combo.

And maybe Copperhorn Scout ?

Hey there, have you considered running Trinket Mage cause it acts as a tutor for all your <=1 CMC artifacts and could also find artifact lands like Vault of Whispers , Seat of the Synod and Tree of Tales .

KANIGAMI on The Tide Has Turned

Consider adding Lotus Petal .

You could also use artifact lands ( Vault of Whispers , Tree of Tales and Seat of the Synod ). As your deck runs only a few artifacts, you aren't using that part of Muldrotha, the Gravetide 's ability that much, so you could use The Gitrog Monster 's ability to sacrifice an artifact land, then play it from graveyard as an artifact for Muldrotha, the Gravetide 's ability, then play another land from your graveyard as your land for the turn.

I’d suggest playing more dual typed cards such as Solemn Simulacrum, Tree of Tales cycle, Nyx Weaver, Agent of Erebos.

And I’d play things like Tireless Tracker and Titania, Protector of Argoth. The one is useful for card draw or artifact fodder and will get the buff regardless how you sac the clue. Where as if you sac a bunch of lands you can create a decent sized army.

hkhssweiss on Black/Green Glissa Commander Deck

Hey welcome to EDH!

For Glissa she is an interesting commander as she is generically artifact based. To use her at the helm of the deck and the route you want to go, you should use a lot of synergistic cards that you can combine her with. Here is a budget list of cards that are synergistic and can match with Glissa.

• Executioner's Capsule
• Nihil Spellbomb
• Scrap Trawler
• Vault of Whispers
• Tree of Tales
• Trading Post
• Wayfarer's Bauble
• Burnished Hart
• Marionette Master
• Myr Retriever
• Shimmer Myr

There are plenty of ways to build Glissa. But here are some simple deck building tips. This is very general outline.

1. What is your goal/win condition?
2. Select cards that can help you achieve your goal/win condition.
3. Add in cards to support or interact with the board.

Aside from that you can follow the 8x8 rule, which is starting with 35 lands and adding 8x of a card category i.e, Artifacts, Creatures, Instants, Sorcery, Enchantment, etc.

Hope that helps!
