Vulnoth on Equestrian Friendship Initiative

Suggestions:

• Ash Barrens, Evolving Wilds, and Terramorphic Expanse with Command Tower, Command Power Plant, and Command Mine. 3 land swap to replace land consistency with mana flexibility.
• the 10 Ravnica signets with: Reliquary Tower, Reflecting Pool, Path of Ancestry, The World Tree, Second City, Exotic Orchard, Reflective Gate, Commander's Sphere, Vexing Puzzlebox, and Guided Passage. 10 artifacts for 7 lands, 2 artifacts, and 1 sorcery [10 total]. This reduces rate of low/no-land hands while still offering mana flexibility and other utility.
• 2 of each basic land for the OG duals: Savannah, Scrubland, Taiga, Bayou, Underground Sea, Plateau, Tundra, Tropical Island, Volcanic Island, Badlands. This increases consistency in mana flexibility.
• Kibo, Uktabi Prince with Yes Man, Personal Securitron. Direct group hugging that ultimately rewards you when Yes dies.
• Harrow with The Ring Goes South. Due to the high density of Legends, this will simply net more lands.
• Tempt with Mayhem with Brass's Tunnel-Grinder. This replaces a situational spell with a short-term hand filter that turns into a value engine land after transforming.
• Skyscribing with Choice of Fortunes. This swaps a costly recurring draw/big draw spell with a draw 2 that also grands infinite hand size.
• Noble Heritage with Noble Benefactor. This trades a temperamental protection for an easily activated tutor.
• Caged Sun with Chromatic Orrery. Caged Sun does not well benefit 5color decks, while Orrery perfectly mana fixes while flexing as a draw engine if necessary.
• Well of Knowledge for Dictate of Kruphix. Kruphix does it for free. Benevolent Offering for Selvala, Explorer Returned. Lower impact but Selvala is stable resource generation plus mana and life.
• Fact or Fiction with Defense of the Heart. Unfortunately FoF is a one-shot injection of cards while Defense pulls creatures of your choice to better toolbox situations.
• Alliance of Arms, The Second Doctor, and Acorn Catapult with Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Norn's Annex. Pillow forting a little always helps.
• Plated Pegasus with Wheel of Fortune. Spell damage is less common than abilities, so better replace it with a hand refill.

Try these out.

Zenith Festival should be my own alternative to Wheel of Fortune.

SaberTech on Dissident Storm

Alright. It's harder to pull off a storm deck in Commander but there are things you can do.

The easiest way to storm in Commander is with the Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal combo. The Scepter copies the imprinted spell, but you cast the copy so it counts towards your storm count. Running this combo requires you to run a bunch more mana rocks though, because you need to be able to produce at least 2 mana off of the rocks just to get the engine going, plus more mana if you want to produce infinite mana off of the combo. I don't know what your budget is like or if your group allows proxies, but at higher level tables you'd be looking to run cards like Mana VaultGC and Grim MonolithGC since those produce 3 mana all on their own. Beyond that though, you would definitely want to be running the talismans like Talisman of Dominance. Everflowing Chalice is another good option for storm because it's on rate if you only kick it once or you can just play it for free un-kicked to increase your storm count. Whichever rocks you end up running, you'll need a good number in the deck to support the combo.

The Dramatic Scepter combo also works well with Wishclaw Talisman. Activate the Talisman, then with the ability on the stack you activate the Scepter to untap the Scepter, the Talisman, and your mana rocks. While the first ability is still on the stack, activate the Talisman again and repeat the cycle. You'll be able to use up all 3 wish counters yourself and in the end you just pass a useless Talisman to the opponent, although after tutoring three cards you should just be winning that turn. The combo also just kills if Guttersnipe is out.

Running a bunch of mana artifacts (that don't enter tapped) has another benefit in that you can run cards like Paradoxical Outcome, Hurkyl's Recall, and Retract. You get to tap your rocks for mana, bounce them back to hand, and then recast them to increase your storm count and hopefully even net extra mana, although that requires more artifacts that produce more mana than they cost like Sol Ring, Mana VaultGC, and Grim MonolithGC.

Another combo card you could be running is Chain of Smog, which combos with Professor Onyx as long as you keep targeting yourself with the Chain and its copies. The copies won't count towards your storm count, but they will get you a bunch of treasure tokens off of Storm-Kiln Artist. You would have an empty hand, but you would have the mana to cast Kess and then cast a card from your graveyard. Ideally, you would be running wheel effects like Wheel of Fortune to immediately refill your hand and keep your plays going. Storm decks typically like to run wheel effects. On the more budget end of things, you could at least be running Windfall and similar effects so that you can match your opponents' hand sizes after emptying your own.

Chain of Smog + Archmage Emeritus will basically let you mill through your deck at the cost of emptying your hand. You'll be forced to discard the cards that you draw off of Emeritus. However, If you run a copy of Unearth in the deck then you can draw and discard your deck, use Kess to cast Unearth from your graveyard, and bring back Thassa's OracleGC for the win. It's a risky line though because you won't have access to any counterspells to protect it.

Unearth is still worth considering for the deck in general since it can get back several relevant creatures in case they are countered, it's a 1 mana spell for storm count, and at worst you can cycle it away to draw a card.

Another combo I can think of based off of cards already in your deck is God-Eternal Kefnet + Scroll Rack + Time Warp (or any other extra turn card that doesn't exile itself). You use Scroll Rack to make sure that Time Warp is the top card of your deck. When you draw, Kefnet sees it and copies it. You cast the copy, and then before the end of your turn you use Scroll Rack to put Time Warp from your hand back on top of your library. Rinse and repeat for infinite turns.

Beyond that is typical storm stuff:

• Ritual Spells like Dark Ritual, Rite of Flame, and Seething Song are good for generating bursts of mana, especially since Kess can cast them again from the graveyard.
• Cheap cantrips like Ponder and Thought Scour help to dig through your deck while adding to your storm count.
• Cards like Bolas's CitadelGC and The Endstone keep the card train rolling.

If all of that is sounding really expensive, Stella Lee, Wild Card and Veyran, Voice of Duality are known commanders for their own unique storm decks. You can find lists at various budget point for them online. Zada, Hedron Grinder can also play as a budget, glass-cannon style goblin storm deck.

Crazy powerful build turned alllll the way up to 11! Do you own the bombs like Wheel of Fortune in paper?

One cool include I've see is Stormscale Scion make like 5 of him in one go could be powerful!

indieinside Indeed, Wheel of Fortune is going to be in the deck eventually. I have replaced it with its cheaper option (budget wise) Reforge the Soul until i can afford it.

All things in consideration, if I do hit the Infinite mana, the mana cost doesn't matter.

Wheel of Fortune should find its way outside of the maybe board. Just saying. I like the combos you have. Personally, if it takes more than two cards to work, it's too much work. I am glad to see you actually playing GambleGC. Too many red players are too scared of that card for some silly reason.

Hi Mortlocke thank you for this awesome guide. I'm just getting into EDH and have become obsessed with Silvers! I'm slowly acquiring all the cards and putting together my Silver's deck. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this question but could you recommend any replacements for the following cards? I included my thoughts but I have no where near the knowledge of you and this community.

• Badlands
• Bayou
• Plateau
• Savannah
• Scrubland
• Taiga
• Tropical Island
• Tundra
• Underground Sea
• Volcanic Island

I was thinking the cycle triomes, which would be an even swap of 10 for 10 and can still be fetched.

• Gaea's CradleGC -> maybe just another utility land or interaction like Flusterstorm
• Wheel of Fortune -> maybe Windfall
• Mox DiamondGC -> maybe Darksteel Ingot or Patchwork Banner

Much love and thanks for this awesome guide!

MTGBurgeoning on Magar the Horrible

Thanks for commenting! Soooo, no barriers??? Okay, if that's the case, we begin with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers. The burst black mana production can pay for multiple 1 and B activation costs of Magar. As long as we're upgrading the land base, other considerations include the less costly Fabled Passage, Raucous Theater and Blazemire Verge, the pricier Bloodstained Mire and Prismatic Vista, and the reach-for-the-sky Ancient TombGC and Badlands. As for spells, there aren't too many pricy Magar-friendly spells that I can recommend here, which is one of the great investment advantages of piloting a Magar build. A lot of the most impactful Magar-assisted spells are bulk rares and mythic rares. However, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the overall synergy of the deck by including Jeska's WillGC and Demonic TutorGC. Those two cards would make Magar very, very happy. One less costly spell that I want to add is Call Forth the Tempest, but a copy has not crossed my path yet. Another consideration, although I do not recommend it, is Wheel of Fortune. I do not recommend it because I prefer to NOT put so many additional cards in the hands of my opponents, regardless of how much it may wreck in-game and in-the-moment strategies by opponents. Aside from these Magar-friendly cards, the only other cards I would offer as considerations are support cards like Bone Miser, Deflecting SwatGC, and Deadly Rollick. Once you complete your build, I would LOVE to see what you have! Happy brewing!!
