Nice deck, it looks fun. I do have a few card suggestions for you.

Plumb the Forbidden would be amazing here. The instant speed, flexibility, and pseudo dodging counterspells makes this a great card already, but Thallise replacing any tokens you sac pushes this card even harder.

Myrel, Shield of Argive isn't cheap, but she's well worth her pricetag in a tokens deck.

Vault of the Archangel deserves a spot as well. It's expensive to activate but you usually don't need to. Just having the mana up to potentially activate it will effect combat in your favor.

DemonDragonJ on Innistrad Remastered Speculation and Wishlist

3 months ago

I was very impressed with both Dominaria Remastered and Ravnica Remastered, and WotC has announced that there shall be an Innistrad Remastered, as well, so I now wish to begin speculation about that set.

First, there are seven sets from which cards in Innistrad Remastered can be reprinted: Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored, Shadows Over Innistrad, Eldritch Moon, Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, and Innistrad: Crimson Vow, which should allow for plenty of excellent cards to be included in the set.

I very much would like to see both the "check lands" (Clifftop Retreat, Hinterland Harbor, Isolated Chapel, Sulfur Falls, and Woodland Cemetery) as well as the utility lands (Grim Backwoods, Kessig Wolf Run, Vault of the Archangel, and so forth) that were printed initially in various sets on Innistrad reprinted in this set, as well as some of the better-known and more powerful angels, demons, vampires, werewolves, and zombies from the various sets, including the original versions of all four of the legendary angels (Bruna, Gisela, Sigarda, and Lisa).

This set is still many months away, being released early in 2025, so it may be too early to speculate, just yet, but I still wish to begin a discussion of it, so what are everyone else's wishes for this set? What cards would you like to see be reprinted in Innistrad Remastered?

Hey sorry for the short first post did it right before sleep. And thanks Crow_Umbra for getting that Isshin info to Merk-A-Do. I have a few other suggestions that I think will help the deck. Personally I would consider dropping both Public Thoroughfare and Exotic Orchard for something like Vault of the Archangel or maybe Westvale Abbey  ^Flip for one of those 2 and Myriad Landscape for the other. The reason being that even though you are 3 colors the Orchard could potentially only tap for a green or blue which is little to no use to you. As for the Thoroughfare it both enters the battlefield tapped and you have to pay something to it which will slow you down just a bit more, and that could cost you a precious turn.

I am also confused as to why you have Krenko, Mob Boss in there. Don't get me wrong great commander for goblins but not too sure he would stay in play long enough for you to utilize him very well. You might consider Myrel, Shield of Argive or Teysa, Orzhov Scion

I saw the * next to your commander deck.

You have 2 Jerren, Corrupted Bishop  ^Flip, Vault of the Archangel and Commanding Presence. That should make it legal after removing those copies. You should be able to add another card in as well. I recommend just filling with another land.

Adriana for Skyhunter Strike Force is an easy swap. Same effect, evasive, and 2 mana less.

Phyrexian Dragon Engine for Breena.

Argus Kos for Hanweir Garrison.

Godo for Shared Animosity. It looks like it belongs in tribal only, but just 4 matching 1/1's will attack as 7/1's thanks to double triggers. It snowballs fast from there.

Cut both Temples, Sunlit Marsh, and Heothermal Bog (basically your non tricolor tapped lands) for Command Tower(?), Exotic Orchard, Vault of the Archangel, and Hanweir Battlements.

Nelly/Firemane I'm not a fan of here. Drawing your opponents cards for them = more potential boardwipes. I've admittedly eyeballed Firemane though because I own a full art foil and that art is gorgeous.

Hey, if you want to squeeze lifegain in here, try Vault of the Archangel. It should be a lot easier to find room for. It's expensive to activate but you don't usually need to. Just having the mana open to possibly activate this effects combat in your favor. Keep 'em guessin'!

Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon is an amazing token producer here that's on par with Krenko.

Devilish Valet will 1 shot at least 1 player out of the game. Just 6 tokens entering (aka 1 Adeline trigger) makes him 64 power. I've hit for 8 million personally (23 tokens).

Vault of the Archangel is expensive to activate but you don't usually need to. Just the unspoken threat of potential activation effects combat in your favor.
