All Creatures Great and Small
4 months ago
I have replaced Chromatic Lantern, Commander's Sphere, and Decanter of Endless Water with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Enduring Vitality, and Faeburrow Elder, because, as great as those artifacts are, this deck has a strong focus on creatures, so I believe that those creatures shall better suit the theme of this deck.
Now, I need to decide whether or not I shall replace Arcane Signet and Thought Vessel with Steward of Valeron and Zhur-Taa Druid?
RockIV on Gruul commander deck: mana ramp …
7 months ago
hi everyone, latley i been playing commander with my friends every weekend. i been using my gruul commander deck, that i build recently. im having a lot of fun and getting very good results, but im thinking that i can optimize my mana ramp.
So i want to know what do you guys think.
thats the deck : Clans Savagery :Beasts ,giants and dragons!
in this moment im using cards like Goblin Anarchomancer, Nightshade Dryad, Sylvan Caryatid, Zhur-Taa Druid, as my mana dorks, i also have Somberwald Sage that is a little more expensive in mana, but give me 3.
i also use cards like Farhaven Elf and Sylvan Ranger as my mana tutors among others.
i have also spells like Rampant Growth, Cultivate and Explosive Vegetation to help me.
my doubt came because i have cards like Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic and many others that are 1 mana, mana dorks, but i didnt add them to the deck. and also mana dorks and tutor that are more mana expensive like Wood Elves or Ondu Giant that didnt make it to the deck (i also have alot of gruul mana rocks, but i didnt add them because of my commanders hability)
i didnt want to add more mana tutoring spells like Migration Path, because my commander Ruric Thar, the Unbowed will punish me if i have more non creature spells.
i think that, i may optimize my mana ramp if i add the Llanowar Elves like creatures ,but i feel that i will make the mana ramp slower, if i take out cards like Cultivate, Thirsting Roots and Explosive Vegetation even if they arent creatures (because they take mana out of my deck and i will have less chance to draw mana). I also think that the 3 mana or 4 mana tutoring options that i have will make the deck slower.
what do you guys think? thnks everyone for reading :)

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Ziatora, …

Caerwyn, I agree that Frenzied Tilling is not a particularly good card, so I shall not bother with it. Both of those creatures that you suggested are nice, but I still think that Zhur-Taa Druid better fits the theme of this deck.
I actually have made my decision regarding two of the three cards that I mentioned, in my first post, and I have made the replacements in my deck; I confess that I did replace two large and flashy creatures with two more large and flashy creatures, but I promise that I shall replace The Immortal Sun with a more utilitarian card.

Sorry for the double post, but what about Zhur-Taa Druid?

Neheb's Eternal Blasting

Just spitballing here. Kessig Flamebreather offers better early game defense than Firebrand Archer, and survives Shock. Pyrohemia could be interesting. How to Keep an Izzet Mage Busy combos aggressively with Guttersnipe, etc. Burning Wish could fetch it or an x damage spell. Valakut Awakening Flip could help to assemble your combo or serve as a backup land drop. If you went green instead of blue you could run Time of Need or Living Wish, and replace a mana rock with Zhur-Taa Druid. I used to run him in this deck: Guttersnipe. Don't do this, but you could potentially go infinite with Aggravated Assault (mana and combats).
I'd be weary that 3-card combo decks can be inconsistent (Neheb + Mass Damage + Mana Sink). The best way to test decks is goldfish a dozen or so games (on tappedout). If you can consistently do what you want to on turns 5-6, it might be viable in our group. I goldfished a game; didn't get Neheb but Guttersnipe worked well enough. Life gain (Soul Warden, etc.) could be problematic for you.

Stomping Counters
3 years ago
See, the problem with specifically me suggesting cuts is that you and I seem to have much different playstyles. I am not big on Planeswalkers and like to keep my mana curve super low to the ground, especially with a mana hungry commander like Marath. I can tell you about objectively strong cards for your mana base though, and I tried to just do that.
If I were pressed and had to make suggestions; for just the first four sorceries I would say both 6-mana Ajanis, a basic Forest, and a basic Plains. For all 12 of my suggestions and in descending order from first card cut to last so that you can take any number and have my suggestions for cuts:
Many of these other cuts are also ramp, but that is because your Land+Ramp number is pretty close to what I like after cutting the two Ajanis. Going with sorceries and artifacts will protect you a little better from sweepers since your mana base will be able to survive a Wrath of God and you would be more likely to be able to recover. The artifacts will still leave you weak to Austere Command, but you are less likely to be collateral damage.
Another switch I would just make straight up is Archetype of Aggression in for Aggressive Mammoth in keeping with me liking to keep a mana curve lower.
