Unkillable feels like a digital/Arena ability. (That's not a bad thing.)

Gavadey, Chaos Charger

{4}{G}{U}{R}

Legendary Creature - Elemental Warrior

Flying, haste

Unkillable

When Gavadey, Chaos Charger enters, draft a card from Gavadey's spellbook.

5/5

(Spellbook: Disperse, Fire / Ice, Flame Discharge, Fog, Frost Breath, Giant Growth, Hydrosurge, Lightning Bolt, Pit Fight, Pyroclasm, Windstorm, Creeping Trailblazer, Lightning Stormkin, Risen Reef, Song of Creation)

Deck performed decently during testing, though was unable to establish a full Infect board. Looking at removing Wall of Vines and Windstorm in favour of Aggressive Instinct and Glistener Elf

I'll just go through the mainboard cards I would personally cut first. Ancient Ooze : very big but requires trample or the like to actually do anything at 7 mana. Copper Myr : almost objectively worse here than most green mana dorks. Ezuri's Archers : not impactful enough in the main without a devotion or elf theme. Ghoultree : your creatures are too big to be dying that often and you want them alive anyway. Lumberknot : similar story to Ghoultree. Spawnwrithe : needs to be built around. Wall of Tanglecord : wastes the benefits of any Overrun effects. Predator's Rapport : more of a sideboard card unless burn is really popular. Reclaim : very slow and lacking enough good targets. Serpent's Gift : redundant and inefficient if you just run enough deathtouch creatures. Tower Defense : are there really enough flyers going around to have this in the main? Windstorm : see above. Spider Spawning : if this is what you're running Transguild Promenade for, it's not worth it without more GY synergy. Accorder's Shield : vigilance isn't impactful enough with no exert, tap abilities, or much else to abuse it. Brawler's Plate : very costly for the buff. Golden Urn : much worse than even the Rapport. Staff of the Wild Magus : staffs aren't even strong enough to do well in dedicated lifegain decks, unfortunately.

I'd say all of your maybeboard picks are better than the aforementioned cards. I'll list some other alternatives that come to my mind though. Primordial Hydra and Kalonian Hydra are some budget-unfriendly but highly dangerous beaters that you can get out relatively early. Joraga Treespeaker (or maybe Elvish Archdruid ) would make your archers much better by letting them double as mana dorks. Otherwise, I like Arbor Elf with Utopia Sprawl type auras on your forests to help ramp. If you prefer the vigilance idea, Champion of Rhonas is a budget Elvish Piper that likes not tapping in combat. If you like walls, Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardian can get ridiculous mana going. They also benefit from Assault Formation which synergizes with Tower Defense. In terms of small creatures with reach, Traproot Kami is my clear pick for mono-green, especially in multiplayer. If you need to add trample, Rancor is excellent value. If you need recursion, Eternal Witness should be near the top of the list. If you're struggling with flyers, maybe try Gravity Well . If you need more life, Engulfing Slagwurm likes forced blocks while Verdant Sun's Avatar likes playing beefy guys.

Given what you have already, I think shifting to include more deathtouch creatures and Lure s would be the most optimal plan. Viridian Longbow and Thornbite Staff are some other equipment that benefit from that strategy. For the creatures, Ohran Frostfang is a casual-only option that's completely busted in commander, and I'm always a sucker for Wasteland Viper 's versatility at only 1 mana.

Somthing that is often overlooked is flying hate with things like Windstorm... could be good tech against spirits.

I like it! If you're looking for suggestions I would possibly recommend:

• either Windstorm or Spidersilk Armor to deal with any flying threats as well as Sandwurm Convergence since you have the mana to spend.

• Explosive Vegetation / Skyshroud Claim and/or Nature's Lore for added ramp.

• Another option if you want recurring landfall would be comboing Ramunap Excavator and any land that requires you to sac the land like Warped Landscape , Myriad Landscape , Evolving Wilds , Terramorphic Expanse , etc.

• Bonds of Mortality to bypass indestructible + hexproof.

• Rampaging Baloths used in tandem with your ramp to abuse landfall triggers.

• Sight of the Scalelords to make your big creatures bigger and scarier.

• Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar to make use of all those forests you have lying around.

• Prowling Serpopard adds some utility that prevents your creature spells from being countered.

• Lastly, if money isn't an issue: Doubling Season and Amulet of Vigor will allow you tap land or whatever comes in tapped instantly.

Deck is looking real good though! +1 for Helix Pinnacle, that card looks W I L D.

NV_1980 on Arcades, Win by Chaos

Hi,

We would like to recommend:

• Assault Formation / Wakestone Gargoyle : bit of redundancy in case Arcades is unavailable.
• Spidersilk Armor : provide all your defenders with reach (and a small toughness bonus).
• Tower Defense : instant, large toughness boost for all your creatures; can close out games in the right circumstances.
• Abzan Beastmaster : as your stuff is probably the toughest ...
• Indomitable Ancients : not defenders, but very tough and thus strong attackers if Arcades is present.
• Silklash Spider : tough creature AND a walking, repeatable Windstorm .
• Skinshifter : great value for a very versatile creature.

Some additional walls we would consider:

• Amaranthine Wall : because you can make it indestructible.
• Wall of Glare : fun if you can make this indestructible.
• Wall of Frost : because everyone hates facing it.
• Living Wall : because it regenerates and because it looks awesome (and disgusting).

Bye!

Silklash Spider can repeatedly wipe all flyers. It's a 2/7 reach boi that's also a Windstorm on a stick. Whirlwind would be another good option.

Nice deck! Here are some additional ideas:

• Mardu Woe-Reaper; cheap to cast and gives you some graveyard-hate options. The lifegain helps too.
• Bramblewood Paragon; nice boost for every warrior you summon from here on out.
• Stonehoof Chieftain; bit expensive to cast but still a warrior; provides some hefty bonuses for your creatures.
• Boldwyr Intimidator; this card adds so much flavor to a warrior deck; and it's fun to use as well.
• Mardu Strike Leader; fantastic way to swamp the battlefield with warriors.
• Blood-Chin Fanatic; great way to utilize creatures that were already doomed anyway.
• Ankle Shanker; turns all your attacking creatures into instant death for anything that dares to block.
• Windstorm; since you do not use any fliers, this can be a great one-sided boardwipe against any players that do.
• Shared Animosity; since all of your creatures are warriors, this gets out of hand really fast.
• Raiders' Spoils; fantastic opportunity for some additional card draw.
• Oketra's Monument; more warrior tokens for you.

Hope any of this makes sense. Happy gaming! And should you have the time and inclination, I would appreciate feedback on one of my EDH decks. Thanks.

Regards,

NV_1980
