KBK7101 on Light-Paws, Emperor's Voltron

5 days ago

Played around with Light-Paws a bit in Historic Brawl on Arena after NEO released. Definitely a powerful commander!

Thoughts on Slash the Ranks and Single Combat for more board wipes?

Might wanna spruce up the mana base with the usual suspects as well. Myriad Landscape, War Room, Rogue's Passage etc

Update!

In: War Room and Arch of Orazca

Out: 2x Mountains

The deck is running very well, just needs more opportunities for card draw / use of treasure tokens.

First off: thank you for your upvote and in depth analysis. It really helped to trim some cards

I agree, that the cmc has to be a lil bit lower. My thought was, if I reanimate them I do not have to pay the cost. But sure, 3.5 is a bit high.

I cuttet Phyrexian Triniform as I think, once in a million I can trigger it’s encore. Triplicate Titan on the other hand fits the whole strategy, provides enormous evasion and evasive artifact creatures if it dies. I will give it a try, Hexmark Destroyer connects hard or creates room for other creatures… and is a necron… it’s sooo hard… but doesn’t fit that well.

But I admit that Darksteel Juggernaut is just a resilient but not always big threat… like a “win more” option. Hasn’t made the cut, as well as Diamond Mare, Phyrexian Fleshgorger and Technomancer. The last one was hard, but I do not think that I can abuse it’s ETB often enough. You where also right with Szarekh and Scarecrone, they are new to the list. I like Ugin and thought 1/3 of my spells would be enough, maybe he doesn’t make it… otherwise he provides support in pseudo-card-draw, removal and cost reduction,… have to think about it. Unfortunately Tortured Existence is not in my collection, therefore I didn’t choose it. I made also room for War Room and Phyrexia's Core (and Darksteel Citadel as well… what was I thinking :D

Mind’s Eye should provide a lot of (needed) continuous card-draw. Sculpting Steel was already in the list… but I have to ask… you would cut Mirrorworks? It is an Bramble Sovereign for ANY artifact… creatures as usual artifacts as well… it’s a bomb! :O

Hey, well done so far. I agree, Szarekh is less good as Commander. Imotekh can be a combo piece for infinite Necrons, that makes it better as Commander.

Szarekh seems good in the 99 though when playing Imotekh as Commander, could put artifacts in your graveyard and if you return an artifact to your hand that you milled it triggers Imotekh. Szarekh flying in combination with Imotekh's menace pump making it 5/6 and playing so many other artifacts it can consistently trigger to create Necrons.

For some cuts to get to 100 cards consider streamline the high CMC cards? The avg. CMC is high at rounded up 3.5, reducing this average can help gameplay. The best here are Wurmcoil Engine, Marionette Master, Bolas's Citadel, Their Name is Death, Noxious Gearhulk. Honestly, you could cut the others, 6 CMC or more, to reduce the mana curve.

Wurmcoil, Marionette, Triplicate Titan and Phyrexian Triniform all combo with Altar + Deathmantle. I don't think you need four huge creatures who do this. Cutting Triniform and Triplicate will not change strategy much as they're the weaknest of the four.

---

Some cards to consider cutting:

• Triplicate Titan and Phyrexian Triniform
• Hexmark Destroyer: only a beater, doesn't do anything else.
• Darksteel Juggernaut: only a beater, doesn't do anything else.
• Traxos, Scourge of Kroog: only a beater, doesn't do anything else.
• Diamond Mare: can get life gain from better sources.
• Phyrexian Fleshgorger: only a beater, isn't needed since you have Wurmcoil.
• Shard of the Void Dragon: triggers only on attack making it slow value for a 7 drop.
• Ugin, the Ineffable: there's too many black cards here that don't get the mana cost reduction including Imotekh.
• Batterskull: good with Stoneforge Mystic and when you can reduce equip costs, without it's subpar.
• Technomancer: fine ETB trigger, but only reanimates artifact creatures, that makes it less good than it could be. You reanimate all creatures total 6 CMC at once, with Imotekh you only create two Necrons.

Some improvements within your budget, consider more lower mana cost repeatable ways to trigger Imotekh?

• Tortured Existence --> Entreat the Dead
• Szarekh, the Silent King --> Skorpekh Destroyer
• Scarecrone --> Royal Warden

Tortured Existence, if you have two artifact creatures in hand you can alternate discarding and putting into hand each time triggering Imotekh for {B}. Scarecrone can reanimate an artifact creature at instant speed.

Others to consider.

• Diabolic Intent (reprinted in BRO) --> Mind's Eye
• Sculpting Steel --> Mirrorworks
• Swiftfoot Boots --> Sword of the Animist
• Feed the Swarm --> Tragic Slip
• Dark Ritual --> Ghouls' Night Out
• War Room --> Temple of the False God
• Phyrexia's Core --> Barren Moor

Good luck with your deck.

If you need more card draw and if you feel like the mana base is good enough for filtering, you could maybe add some draw into the land slot. Things like War Room or Roadside Reliquary or even Cryptic Caves and the horizon lands (I don't remember if there is a rakdos one or not), but those could maybe help a little. And you could always go into Necropotence where you are almost guaranteed to hit your win con : )

Grind on What it be

Cool deck!!
Have you considered running Gauntlet of Power? . It would be great with your mana base.
I also like War Room as it can sometimes draw a card.

War Room is card draw that can work, there are also cards like Night's Whisper, Sign in Blood, Syphon Mind, and Village Rites (there are lots more). There are various enchantments that sit around and help like Black Market Connections, Underworld Connections, Greed, Necropotence, and Phyrexian Arena. If you recast Juri repeatedly, Tome of Legends might work. Ayara, First of Locthwain can draw some cards.

It's a tad out there, but Mask of Griselbrand lets you draw cards and is cheaper than Skullclamp, and it offers evasion and the ability to gain life via your newly evasive Commander.

If you're fairly desperate for draw, you could risk Allure of the Unknown, a card that I have generally been happy with. It sucks when you just hit lands and mana rocks, but you probably were going to lose the game if you had to sit and draw rubbish for 6 turns.

I really am liking the new Make an Example, this is actually a removal effect that forces each opponent to sacrifice their best creature, and can be even better if your opponent doesn't know what to pick.

If you already have Gravecrawler in the deck, another card that synergizes well with creature sacrificing decks is Pitiless Plunderer. Gravecrawler, Viscera Seer and pitiless plunderer are infinite Scry, ETBs and death triggers.
