Hey, any thoughts towards including Underworld Breach? It seems fairly free and you happen to already run Lion's Eye Diamond and Wheel of Fortune.

MasterGabe this deck started over three years ago as a budget build and I slowly acquired pieces for it. If you are looking to spend around $200 and keep the combo, start by removing all the fast mana (Mox Diamond, Grim Monolith, Mana Crypt, etc) and put in the normal ramp like Fire Diamond, Arcane Signet etc. Also remove Wheel of Fortune and replace with Wheel of Fate. You also don’t need any of the fancy lands, just stick with regular mountains and as we will be removing ramp increase land count to 39.

The deck will be quite a lot slower and more susceptible to interaction but you can keep the combo shell and all it’s shenanigans. If you want to make a copy of this deck, remove the foils and make the suggested changes I would happily make more suggestions for you to meet the budget.

Hiya!

A few recommendations from a long time Aurelia, the Warleader player.

First off, I recommend bumping up the land count to 37-38. 34 lands isn't enough in EDH to reliably make land drops every turn, so adding more lands would help increase the consistency of the deck. Think of it this way- there's nothing worse than having cards in your hand you can't cast because you didn't draw enough lands to have the mana to cast them.

Next, add in more ways to generate card advantage. Looking over the deck, I saw 5 sources of card advantage (aka ways to get access to more cards to play, typically by drawing but can also be impulsive draw) with 4 ways to tutor for them. There are many wheel effects in red that are not the price of Wheel of Fortune. These are Wheel of Fate, Reforge the Soul, and Magus of the Wheel. Red also has access to some great impulsive draw spells. Outpost Siege is reliable, turn by turn one. Light Up the Stage is another good one that is easy to cast for its spectacle cost. Other notable ones are the c2019 new Ignite the Future, Commune with Lava, and Prophetic Flamespeaker. There are a few more equipment that draw cards like Rogue's Gloves and Sword of Fire and Ice. Finally, there are some great artifacts that have been printed in recent years that can get a consistent flow of cards. These include Tome of Legends and Endless Atlas.

Next is a few more ways to ramp. I counted 8 pieces, with once again 4 ways to tutor. Some simple mana rocks would do the job. Solemn Simulacrum, Burnished Hart, Knight of the White Orchid, and Kor Cartographer could also do the job. I do also recommend investing the money in buying a copy of Smothering Tithe. The card is very worth running in the deck. You already play lands that make every player draw, if you add in wheels for card draw it can be abused even more. Even without those though, it is by far the best EDH card in white and is more than worth the investment.

Finally, as you play the deck, I recommend you slowly take the time to think about the direction you want to really take it in. Right now it doesn't seem to have a huge focus to it, it's doing some equipment stuff, some big attack stuff, some artifact stuff, some token stuff, etc. Find a focus to the deck. Once you do, then you can start to make better decisions on how to make it better.

Let me know how the deck has been running in paper though! Good luck with learning to play Boros and I hope you learn to enjoy it!

Hey man! Good first draft! I like some of the ideas in here. I have some constructive criticism for you, so, as brutally honest as I will be with my suggestions, keep in mind I’m just offering my best advice on how to improve this list. I tested this deck a bit and here’s some thoughts I have:

More Tutor / Draw: You’re running very little card advantage, which I noticed when I was testing this deck. There isn’t enough dig or deck manipulation going on here. Basically every time I found myself durdling. Here are some suggestions:

• Sensei's Divining Top
• Scroll Rack
• Crystal Ball
• Courier's Capsule
• Wheel of Fortune
• Windfall
• Stroke of Genius
• Mystic Remora
• Mulldrifter
• Ponder
• Jace Beleren
• Long-Term Plans
• Fabricate
• Land Tax
• Academy Rector
• Idyllic Tutor
• Madblind Mountain
• Fetch Lands. Literally any fetches.

More spot removal: Your deck doesn’t have a lot of ways of dealing out targeted removal. Mass Land D and other sweeper spells are great and all, but you also need ways of handling individual problems as they arrive. Here are some suggestions I have:

• Path to Exile / Swords to Plowshares
• Seal of Cleansing / Dispeller's Capsule
• Return to Dust
• Crush Contraband
• Capsize
• Boomerang
• Shattering Pulse
• Shattering Spree
• Oblation
• Chaos Warp
• Lightning Bolt
• Pongify

More Persistent harassment: You’re running MLD, Tax, but you aren’t running a whole lot of effects to consistently torment the opponent. Smokestack, Pendrell Mists, Kataki, War's Wage, Manabarbs keep pressure on your opponents. Even just running more stuff to slow things down (Winter Orb, Tangle Wire, Kismet, Rule of Law, Stranglehold etc.) would be useful here.

Consider less creatures, more enchantments: Hatebears are cool, but consider the fact that they are easier to kill than their enchantment counterparts. Magus of the Moon dies much easier than Blood Moon and you want these effects to have a good return on investment. This one is more food for thought than actual criticism.

Suggestions for cuts: Hall of Heliod's Generosity (?): It’s a great card, but right now you aren’t running enough Enchantments to justify it. Most of the time it’s going to just tap for colorless. If you run more Enchantments, it’s a keeper! (I think I’m going to try and find a slot for my own deck)

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain: This is pretty vestigial. It’s not really pulling much weight. Cut it.

Karn, Silver Golem: See above.

Remorseful Cleric: This is too squishy. Run Tormod's Crypt instead. Just as easy to recur (moreso, in fact, cause Academy Ruins sees it) and it lowers your curve.

Tomik, Distinguished Advokist: I get what you’re going with here, but you’re blowing up your lands anyway, making them untargetable is kind of moot. There’s a bunch of hatebears I’d rather run in this slot.

Burning of Xinye / Wildfire: These are weak, you can do way better for MLD in your colors. Add Sunder (Cheaper at Instant speed!).

Saltblast: This card is kind of bad. Costs waaay too much for targeted removal. Also, is completely dead against decks that run white. I’d honestly remove this and replace it with Wrath of God instead.

Karn, the Great Creator: Not doing enough. I see the combo with Mycosynth Lattice, but Hellkite Tyrant is a much better combo.

Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis: This card isn't great. If you want Elspeth, put in Elspeth, Knight-Errant or Elspeth, Sun's Champion instead. Both make tokens as a +1 ability.

Empowered Autogenerator: Too slow, too expensive. It’s not as good as it looks. Ideally, rocks should slot into the 0-3 CC range. If you desperately wanted something in the 4 slot, why not just run Thran Dynamo instead? It’s more consistent.

Firemind Vessel – See above.

MagicalHacker The Wind of Fortune is a bit strangely worded. Mainly because it instructs each player to discard their hand and draw cards equal to greatest amount discarded this way. Then if a player had fewer than 7 cards they draw cards equal to the difference. I'm quite certain I know what you mean by it, but it reads a bit strange.

Perhaps it should be: "Each player discards their hand, then draws cards equal to the highest amount between seven and the greatest number of cards a player discarded this way."

Although you do realize that both Windfall and Wheel of Fortune are restricted in vintage and banned everywhere else but Commander? As such I would never expect such a card to be printed, taking the best of both and mix them together.

DemonDragonJ The BW resurrection could be named; Life Renewed, Walk Again, or anything that mentions a second chance - without being Second Chance.

You could also go for a non-generic name like Obzedat's Aid.

It could be interesting to toy with supplementary effects that makes the card have different effects based on mana spent or perhaps make it stronger/cheaper if combined between two sources of mana that are adept at the same thing.

Walk Again

Sorcery

Source - Based on the colored mana spent to cast this spell (amount above one is irrelevant), it does;

• : Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
• or : Exile target creature card from your graveyard, create a X/X creature token, where X is equal to the exiled creature's power. If was spent to cast this spell, the token is a black Zombie. If was spent to cast this spell, the token is a white Spirit.

Life Anew

Sorcery

Life Anew costs less to cast, if both and was spent to cast it.

Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

theduck87 appreciated man. I often find myself getting "hated" out of a table because I've killed the entire table in a turn unexpectedly. I still need to add some cards to the description, list isn't even finished yet... Still searching for that golden Wheel of Fortune.

Я не играю через Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation по причине иррациональной перфекционизма, т.к. нужено будет переделать колоду под Tainted Pact. т.е. вкладываться в манабазу. А также пока тир-2 мета позволяет халявить.

Dark Deal лежит в основном потому что нарсет/вор, по своему прямому применению карта имеет порог полезности, после которого она скорее плоха чем хороша. К примеру, когда у тебя всего три карты на руке, но в этом случае скорее у тебя уже всё не очень, если ты не закрутился. Whispering Madness лежит как бюджетная замена Wheel of Fortune. Underworld Breach лежит под комбу с колёсами и Dramatic Reversal. Это бюджетная замена комбы с Lion's Eye Diamond и просто хорошая дешёвая реанимация кладбища, может достать тот же Isochron Scepter и Bolas's Citadel.

Различного рода контрспеллов у меня 15 штук, не уверен, что этого мало, а начинать игру без манакамня или Ancient Tomb - как правило плохой план, т.к. ты будешь медленнее оппонентов. Dockside Extortionist, Spellseeker - пока просто не позволял бюджет забрать, вполне очевидно, что он нужен как и некоторые другие стейплы в пределах 20 долларов. Underworld Breach намного лучше Past in Flames, последняя слишком медленная.

Реанимацию кесс как идея мне не очень нравится по причине личных вкусов. Учитывая, что туту таких листов очень мало, то наверняка есть и ещё причины, на вроде дополнительной уязвимости к таким картам как Pongify. + Игра через изохрон, цитадель или нарсет/вора с руки дешевле по мане.

Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Aetherflux Reservoir - весьма неплохая комба, иногда встречается даже в тир-1 листах. Это чисто шторм, ты быстро ставишь через ритуал цитадель и дальше смотришь что у тебя выпало. Закручивался на 3-4-й ход так, к примеру.

Seat of the Synod - просто нулевой артефактный манаразгон, которых должно быть хотя бы два в колоде чтобы доставать в случае чего с артефактных тюторов. Иногда это очень помогает. Lotus Petal нужен, просто не успел достать. Chrome Mox тащит игры, потому что быстрая мана. Убыль карт в руке восполняется колёсами, такие колоды про то как мы умеем лучше использовать ресурсы на руке и на кладбище чем оппоненты.

Если собираешься собрать тир-1 Кесс шторм, то ты должен стремиться находить быстро Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation и очень часто ты будешь это делать при помощи Ad Nauseam(её вообще при любой возможности надо играть), поэтому в идеале ты должен убрать всё что не способствует этой стратегии, либо не помогает её реализовать.
