Rorolith on Boros Artifact Deck

I would recommend adding more copies of key cards in your deck for consistency. Play around with it, find out which cards are good and synergistic, and which ones are cards that generally don't come in handy, or are just cards that sit in your hand the whole game.

Here are some improvements that could be made with your mana base on budget: Wind-Scarred Crag , Needleverge Pathway  ^Flip, Temple of Triumph , Battlefield Forge , and Needle Spires . Coming in at the highest price for budget lands is Clifftop Retreat at $5.75 US. All of these are better than Boros Guildgate

Don't include all of those lands, lol. Cut cards from your deck until it is 60 cards (for consistency) and then have 24 lands as a base. Add more or cut more depending on how aggressive you are. Basic lands should be the majority of your land base unles you are looking for an expensive mana base, but 8-12 of the lands I listed above should help.

Hey there mate! From what I see, you have all three shock lands (Pay 2 on ETB), all the filter lands (Pay X/Y get combination) and the check lands (ETB tapped unless X/Y). These are all great lands, but I think almost everything else can get a nice sweet upgrade. Note some of my suggestions may not be in your budget

• Blackcleave Cliffs
• Concealed Courtyard
• Inspiring Vantage
• Bloodstained Mire (Budget: Rocky Tar Pit
• Marsh Flats
• Arid Mesa
• Sulfurous Springs
• Caves of Koilos/Silent Clearing
• Battlefield Forge/Sunbaked Canyon
• Luxury Suite
• Vault of Champions
• Spectator Seating
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista (A better Evolving Wilds)
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Strip Mine/Wasteland (A better Ghost Quarter)
• Gemstone Caverns

• Glacial Chasm (For Pillowfort?)

• Now I know that is quite a lot, but don't worry- I have an idea. I personally believe all of the following could and should be cut for some of the suggestions below, as you progress with your deck. Akoum Refuge, Bloodfell Caves, Evolving Wilds, Ghost Quarter, Nomad Outpost (Maybe Savai Triome instead?), Opal Palace, Scoured Barrens, Smoldering Marsh (it's only good in decks heavy with basics), Wind-Scarred Crag, etc!

• For ramp, Lotus Petal, Land Tax, and Dark Ritual can be pretty fun too.

• Hope this helps! If you like my suggestions be sure to support some of my decks (Double Trouble EDH *PRIMER*). Anyways though, hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day! Happy tapping!

Hey, well done for your first deck from scratch.

Some cards within the current budget to consider adding:

• Command Tower: one of the best lands for multicolored decks in Commander.
• Buried Alive: best budget way to tutor for and get Worldgorger into your graveyard.
• Bogardan Hellkite: win condition Dragon with Worldgorger combo.
• Open the Armory: can be an early game tutor for Lightning Greaves for Kaalia or later on for Animate Dead.
• Rune-Scarred Demon: Mystery Booster version, Demon to tutor for any card.
• Faithless Looting: double way to discard Worldgorger if it's stuck in your hand or if you draw it.
• Wishclaw Talisman: use it to tutor for the last piece of the Worldgorger combo for one mana the turn you want to combo.
• Swiftfoot Boots: more protection/haste for Kaalia.
• Fellwar Stone
• Talisman of Conviction
• Exotic Orchard
• Caves of Koilos
• Rugged Prairie
• Dragonskull Summit
• Ash Barrens

Could add all these cards for about $26.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God
• Shimmering Grotto
• Vivid Crag
• Temple of Triumph
• Wind-Scarred Crag
• Star Compass
• Artful Maneuver
• Curse of Fool's Wisdom
• Angelic Chorus
• Mirror of the Forebears
• Desecration Demon
• Angelic Skirmisher
• Akroma, Angel of Fury
• Fiery Emancipation

---

Worldgorger Dragon is a tricky combo to assemble because Worldgorger needs to be in your graveyard to reanimate it with Animate Dead. You don't want to ever cast it from hand or cheat it onto the battlefield with Kaalia. Sneak Attack cheating it on the battlefield is fine because then it will end up in your graveyard and you get your permanents back. You want to get Worldgorger into your graveyard and the best budget card that can do that is Buried Alive.

Currently here Angel of Despair is the easy win condition with the Worldgorger combo by destroying all your opponents permanents. But what happens if Despair is disrupted or exiled? Kaalia, Zenith Seeker can be a more complex enabler with the combo needing haste for all the creatures you put into your hand and get onto the battlefield. Bogardan Hellkite can be another easy, even truer, win condition with the combo because it does damage to each player each time it ETB which will be infinite damage with the combo.

Good luck with your deck.

You made some nice additions and fixed your rock ramp up nicely. Like I said on the previous version of this deck though, I would've used the lands I recommended to replace your lands that come in tapped and not your basics. I believe this deck would perform a lot better if you were running ordinary Mountains and Plains instead of cards like Ancient Amphitheater, Boros Guildgate, Stone Quarry, Temple of Triumph, either of your vivid lands, and Wind-Scarred Crag.

I like the changes you made though. Really nice deck for the budget you're working with! Nice job. :^)

Hey, good budget version and interesting description. Nice Demonic Tutor :)

Cards $2 or less each to consider adding:

• Swiftfoot Boots: hexproof protection.
• Shielded by Faith: indestructibility protection.
• Open the Armory: tutor for Boots or Faith.
• Phyrexian Reclamation: repeatable creature recursion.
• Hushbringer: flying/double strike/lifelink Snapdax and major opponent disruption.
• Will-o'-the-Wisp: flying and regenerate protection.
• Vampire Nighthawk: flying/double strike/deathtouch/lifelink Snapdax.
• Adanto Vanguard: indestructibility protection.
• Brightling: bounce protection.
• Tome of Legends: repeatable draw with attacking Snapdax.
• Deafening Silence: powerful opponent disruption with your mutate creature strategies.
• Swords to Plowshares: instant exile a creature for one mana.
• Generous Gift: instant destroy any permanent.
• Caves of Koilos
• Battlefield Forge
• Foreboding Ruins

You want more protection for the creature you mutate too because without protection the mutate creature can be killed in response to being mutated or after. In multiplayer Commander mutate is much more of a problem because there's three or more opponents who could have removal. That's a lot more potential removal you have to deal with than if you were playing 1v1.

Swiftfoot Boots gives the equipped creature hexproof meaning that creature can't be targeted by your opponents removal. Boots is an equipment, it can be equipped to any creature you control and it doesn't leave the battlefield when the equipped creature is removed. Open the Armory is a budget tutor that can get Boots.

---

Flying and double strike is a good combination to do Commander damage with Snapdax. Hushbringer is powerful disruption in multiplayer Commander since it prevents all creatures who have an enter the battlefield ability that triggers and any creature who has a dies ability that triggers. These two types of triggers are ways for players to gain a lot of value from creatures. Hushbringer is not going to affect you much since mutating is not an enter the battlefield trigger it's a cast trigger thus Hushbringer doesn't prevent mutating.

Will-o'-the-Wisp is a one drop flying creature who can regenerate. This little Spirit can be powerful with mutate. Brightling is a unique creature with mutate since you can bounce it as well as all creatures that are mutated back to your hand. This is pseudo protection because you can activate Brightling in response to opponents removal. By bouncing all the creatures that are mutated then you can mutate them all again getting more value out of mutate.

---

When Snapdax dies you can choose to spend it to your graveyard instead of putting it back into the Command Zone. This gets around having to pay Commander tax for Snapdax and the tax must be paid even if you're mutating Snapdax from the Command Zone which can be problematic. When Snapdax goes to your graveyard then you can recur it with cards that recur creatures from your graveyard. Phyrexian Reclamation is very good repeatable recursion at instant speed for mutate creatures because you want the creature to come back to your hand to then cast it again to mutate again.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Vivid Marsh
• 2x Mountain
• Offspring's Revenge
• Parasitic Impetus
• Shiny Impetus
• Species Specialist
• Duskfang Mentor
• Frillscare Mentor
• Keensight Mentor
• Shriekmaw
• Tentative Connection
• Bad Deal
• Avenging Huntbonder
• Mysterious Egg

Good luck with your deck.

Oooh, good choice! I have some ideas of what you could do for her, however, I'll start off with the lands and mana base. Some of the suggestions are expensive, so if they are not within your budget I would consider using something else in the meantime, and then getting them later when you can.

Lands

• Temple of Triumph
• Sacred Foundry
• Clifftop Retreat
• Inspiring Vantage
• Battlefield Forge
• Sunbaked Canyon
• Arid Mesa
• Rugged Prairie
• {If you have a super budget) Plateau
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Gemstone Mine
• Forbidden Orchard
• Exotic Orchard
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• Strip Mine
• Hall of Heliod's Generosity
• Wasteland

• Command Tower

• Those lands I would definitely consider, though if you need some budget options I would use Boros Garrison, Stone Quarry, Wind-Scarred Crag, Boros Guildgate. Of course you can also use a lot of basics at the start, and slowly fill them in with the more expensive ones. Those are what I can think of off the top of my head, though if I think of more I will add them!

• Before I start on the ramp section, I was wondering if you wanted to focus on auras or equipment. If you pick one and make the deck completely around it, usually it ends up better and gives you more card options. However, using both could be an asset too! So let me know what you pick so I know how I can continue with suggestions if you still want help of course!
