8cardalchemy on Help me Build a Basic …

1 month ago

Hi All,

I want to build an Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper // Tymna the Weaver life gain commander deck. It will be used for semi-casual play at a LGS, so good players with decent decks but not a lot of bonkers combos going off by turn 5.

I have never been amazing a cooking up commander decks that actually function, especially on a budget. Can anyone help me put together a basic/affordable decklist that I can expand on with more expensive cards later (let's say sub $200, preferably closer to $100, price is a little flexible)?

So far, I have the following cards that I know will work here:

Deathrite Shaman Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose Swords to Plowshares Dina, Soul Steeper Voice of the Blessed Kambal, Consul of Allocation Willowdusk, Essence Seer Vampire Nighthawk Drana and Linvala Rodolf Duskbringer Rampant Growth Farseek

I also own both commanders, so that's $30 I don't need to worry about.

Any help is appreciated.

I decided to give The Battle of Bywater a go. I ran into a tricky game recently featuring a souped up Crystalline Giant with Phyresis, and I kept wishing I had put it in the deck.

I've also added in Welcoming Vampire and Knight of Dawn's Light to help keep me in the game. I cut Mentor of the Meek got cut because it's just too mana-intensive, Ornithopter of Paradise because of its nombo with Collector Ouphe and Tymna the Weaver, and Stronghold Arena since its effect is largely replaced by Welcoming Vampire but with fewer hoops to jump through. I wonder how much I'll notice the decrease in card advantage, so we shall see how these swaps play out!

Very nice! I keep trying to tell people this is one of the best aggro commanders & I also use Tymna the Weaver as a comp. I get that the precon was built as "politics matters", but I scrapped that reactive junk for "aggro matters" & haven't looked back. You don't need a bunch of carrots in the deck because you can just grow things so efficiently on your own & let your opponents decide if they want to get left in the dust or not.

You didn't mention (too much) how easily she double-triggers early game with 2-cmc critters (preferably lifelinkers). Since she triggers on an attack (not necessarily her own) she realistically can start doing work turn 3 if you have 1 or more low cmc weenies on the board waiting to attack turn 3.

I came to alot of the same conclusions with playtesting as well. My deck is probably 1/3 aggro & then 1/3 planeswalkers. The walkers often are my version of creature-wipe protection (suddenly no one wants to wipe creatures if a walker is ticking on up), recursion source, & mid-late game impact. Both options work really well with Orzhov proliferate. Heres the deck Birdlock

Also, when it comes to Breena, the Demagogue I think alot of people misread her as a needs politics for full efficiency. You don't have to rely on other players at all, she straight up smacks people if you just want to trigger her on your own with your own attacks, she can trigger 2 times as long as you are attacking 2 opponents with higher life totals than another for a whopping +4/4 worth of counters & draw 2... That is BEFORE your commander goes doubling this. Also, she doesn't need to be the attacking creature, so she can be effective on the turn you play her.

If your opponents choose not to benefit from the card draw, then I guess they would have to settle for falling so far behind. So basically, she just happened to helm a politics themed precon. She is actually comparable to Tymna the Weaver in some ways.

Have you had a chance to play the deck irl, or play-test it much? 28 lands and 19 creatures seem kinda low, even with all the mana rocks. If it works well for you, then no worries. In regards to draw options for Isshin, I'd recommend some of the following:

• Skullclamp is great, especially with any 1/1 tokens you may produce.

• Plumb the Forbidden is a personal favorite, especially in response to board wipes or creature theft. This is one of my favorite draw spells in my Isshin deck, especially with a board of tokens.

• Braids, Arisen Nightmare can force opponents into tough spots, depending on what you sacrifice. The fact that Braids is a "may" ability allows for scaling as needed.

• Tocasia's Welcome & Idol of Oblivion are options for more (creature) token focused builds.

• Breena, the Demagogue & Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant are both fun and interactive options. Breena especially can add a fun political wrinkle to games, as opponents may let her stick around until its too late.

• Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor is another "political" draw engine that incentivizes attacks around the board.

• Professional Face-Breaker & Tymna the Weaver are both options that reward you for going wide and connecting. I like Face-Breaker just a little more since she has built-in evasion.

• Deadly Dispute and Painful Truths are additional options.

• Lastly, Scapegoat, Dolmen Gate, and Reconnaissance are additional mana efficient board protection effects. I can't recommend Reconnaissance enough, as it acts as a pseudo-Vigilance anthem, and can remove your creatures from combat after they've already dealt damage. A bit more of an explanation here.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. Best of luck in your brewing and playing.

Both Tymna the Weaver and Thrasios, Triton Hero are very expensive, so I would like to see them be reprinted in this set.

You could maybe cut Anointed Procession. Its a great card, but it's definitely another slot that could be used for draw.

You could maybe swap a creature slot for Professional Face-Breaker, especially since you already have Goldspan & Lannery Storm in the 99.

Breena, the Demagogue is another draw option & political piece. Opponents might leave you alone to try to benefit from it, which makes games more interactive & fun.

You could maybe swap Savai Crystal for Painful Truths & Deadly Dispute. Plumb the Forbidden is super useful for refilling your hand.

You could maybe cut Sun Titan. I like more proactive & instant speed board protection than graveyard recursion for this build. Grave Titan was a cut I recently made.

There's also Phyrexian Arena, & Black Market Connections, Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor, or Tymna the Weaver depending on your budget.

Crow_Umbra on Isshin, the Glorious Strategist

6 months ago

Always happy to see Batwing Brume in a deck. It's an old favorite of mine when I first started playing in college, about 10 years ago.

Isshin is easily my favorite commander, and one I've enjoyed playing a lot the past year. I'm not sure if you were aware, but sadly, Bushido does not work with Isshin's trigger, as Bushido only triggers when the creature blocks or becomes blocked. Ronin Cliffrider, which you already have in you 99, is probably the one most worth keeping, since it can take out opposing creature tokens if they're small enough.

If you decide to remove the Bushido creatures, that does open up some opportunities for more draw/impulse options available to Isshin, like:

• Idol of Oblivion - More useful if you are running a more creature token heavy strategy.

• Plumb the Forbidden - is one of my favorite draw pieces, especially in response to board wipes.

• Tome of Legends - Fairly helpful, & easy enough to get a few more counters on.

• Commissar Severina Raine - If you aren't opposed to Universes Beyond, she is a slightly worse Skullclamp and is also an excellent finisher for Isshin decks, especially token focused ones.

• Gruesome Realization - Like a Night's Whisper with a modal option to also soften up an opposing board, especially useful against other token filled board that lack power/toughness modifiers of some kind.

• Professional Face-Breaker - Is kinda like a budget-ish version of Tymna the Weaver if you squint hard enough. Both reward you for going wide with attacks.

• Tocasia's Welcome - Another option if you have lots of creature tokens, but could work for you since about 20 of your current creatures are 3cmc or less.

• Brazen Cannonade - An impulse draw for 2nd main phase after combat.

• Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant helps keep attackers away from you, and Goads up to 2 creatures per board with Isshin out.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. Let me know if you would like any additional feedback or suggestions. I hope you have fun piloting Isshin, he is a blast.
