Ana Sanctuary is on upkeep to one creature, you may be thinking of a different card.

If you have an anthem effect (Glorious Anthem or the like) the copy Ukkima, Stalking Shadow will be a 3/3 when it dies and will deal 3 damage from its trigger. Anthems have static abilities that apply at all times. There is never a time that a permanent is on the battlefield that it is not being affected by static abilities.

Hi if I have Ukkima, Stalking Shadow as my commander and cast Mirror Mockery enchanting Ukkima with some form of static pump effect on the battlefield, for instance Ana Sanctuary. When the second instance of Ukkima etc and the game checks SBAs, thus forcing me to put one of them into the graveyard. Do I get the leave the battlefield trigger from the one I have to let die? And if so, do I get it with increased power that is given by ana sanctuary? So would deal more damage and gain more life?

I have a very similar deck with Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker as commanders. I was looking into having Atraxa as a commander instead, but Atraxa is infamous for being a very strong creature that amasses tons of scary, unpredictable value - it is a poison deck? Is it a +1/+1 counters deck? Is it a superfriends deck? Most often, you will find that the other players have Rule 0-ed you as the archenemy before the game begins.

There are two things you can do about this. You can either rise up to the challenge, or you can change commander.

If you want to take on the challenge of constant Archenemy because you want to keep Atraxa, then you have multiple cards that are too weak. Some of which are Arcus Acolyte, the three Myojins, Pollenbright Druid, Murder, Magistrate's Scepter, Chromatic Lantern, Vivisurgeon's Insight, and Expand the Sphere for starters. There are probably 10-20 more I would consider cutting, since these are too casual for the level of play you're signaling with Atraxa. Instead, run low-mana spells like Nature's Lore, Night's Whisper, Fierce Guardianship, Heroic Intervention, Flawless Maneuver, Deadly Rollick, Mystic Remora, Cyclonic Rift, Negate, Swan Song, the WUBG shock lands with their fetches, the list goes on... This won't make your deck cEDH, this will make it more reliable, reactive, and consistent in answering most of your opponents stuff.

If you want to change commanders, you can go for Falco Spara, Pactweaver for value, Anafenza, the Foremost for aggressive, Ghave, Guru of Spores for combo, or the partner pairings of Cazur, Ruthless Stalker  Flip + Ukkima, Stalking Shadow, or Nikara, Lair Scavenger + Yannik, Scavenging Sentinel. All of these will force you to abandon a fourth color, but restriction breeds creativity...?

Side note 1: You can still run Atraxa in the 99, that is a more commonly accepted usage.

Side note 2: You have two Ivy Lane Denizen.

Pass44 on Reyhan Kraum Marchesa Green

Last_Laugh: thanks for your quick response and suggestions! You've obviously put a lot of work in your Marchesa-list (I upvoted your build). Gary and Kokusho were in at some point but got cut in favor of Ukkima, Stalking Shadow. I'll playtest Gary once more.

Regarding Grim Haruspex: do you believe it will draw more cards then Guardian Project or Rhystic Study? I'm currently on the fence about adding more card-draw.

I'll definitely look into Spark Double. I used to run it in my Marchesa-build but never seriously considered it for this deck. Right now the clones are supposed to die because of the legend-rule thus adding at least 6 counters.

Thanks again!

Just came across the idea of introducing a little bit of dying-triggers/resurrection stuff while brewing my Reyhan/Ishai Deck when I stumbled across this decklist. I was thinking to build my deck more with bigass dying-triggers like Chasm Skulker , Ukkima, Stalking Shadow or even Dying Wish while bringing them back from graveyard or avoid them landing there. But I have to say, the Aristocrat-Style of your deck, generating lots of "little" values, is looking super fun!

Have your considered Cauldron of Souls for your list? While in a +1/+1-Deck the -1/-1-Counters can be easily balanced to re-use it again with smth like Good-Fortune Unicorn , it provides you with a lot of fun interactions, especially because of the fact that the chosen creatures don't lose the Persist-Ability until end of turn even if they hit the graveyard. Next to that it allowes you to withstand them nasty boardwipes. With the sacrifice outlets and counter distributors your deck provides I think it would be a good addition to your list!

Vallaris on Lich's Mastery Bat Tribal!

2 years ago

seshiro_of_the_orochi a few years ago I'd made a Lich deck on Arena, around the time Core 2020 was released, though I forget it if was for Standard or Brawl. If I still have the deck list I'll post it, but I remember it included every card that had Lich in the name that was available. Yarok, the Desecrated was one of the more important cards I think (would have been the commander if it was Brawl), don't have him in paper though.

And lol wow, looks like Horizon Chimera would go infinite with Lich! That looks fun. If I were to build a Sultai deck, it would likely be around Cazur, Ruthless Stalker  Flip and Ukkima, Stalking Shadow partially because I already have them and have been itching to build something janky around them, partially because my partner already has a Muldrotha deck. He used to (might still have) a Saproling Lich deck centered around Slimefoot, the Stowaway that was rather beastly lol, I almost dread to think of that being combined with Muldrotha haha.

I like the idea of having Laboratory Maniac in a Lich deck as well. Your suggestions are great!

Really like your deck. I am also aiming to build an unblockable tribal deck but going to partner Ukkima, Stalking Shadow and Cazur, Ruthless Stalker  Flip at the helm so I can add green for the ramp. You could look at adding in Phyresis and Grafted Exoskeleton to boost the infect which will make the unblockable hits that much more painful. Ukkima would be a natural addition to the deck too and I would also consider adding Etrata, the Silencer and the new land Access Tunnel to help the wee guys who can be blocked get through
