Hey there, I love the deck, I've copied it and made some changes. What do you think of having Horde of Nations as commander? 5 color's and its basically the King of the Suicide Squad

Sorry, Horde of Notions

Thanks! I'm happy you like it. I've actually been testing this deck with Horde of Notions for a while now and I think that I will make the switch for a few reasons.

1. Early game hate. People just dislike Kenrith decks in general, you typically become an early game target. Less people are worried about Horde and I tend to fly under the radar a bit more.

2. Elemental synergy. Cavern of Souls , Unclaimed Territory , Cover of Darkness , Risen Reef , and Kindred Discovery all have more use cases when running Horde of Notions .

3. Haste and Vigilance, it's nice being able to swing hard with Horde of Notions immediately on cast, the vigilance is a major bonus because this deck does struggle with blocking since most the bodies in the deck kill themselves.

I've also in my testing decided to take out Phase Dolphin because I simply don't use it enough, if it had haste it would be significantly better. I am going to replace Phase Dolphin with Shalai, Voice of Plenty so that I can protect the creatures better, I've had opponents destroy Suicide Squad creatures mid combat which is always the worst. My only downside to doing this is that Shalai is not 3cmc or less so it's one less card to work with all of my synergies with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle , Aluren , Collected Company , and Sevinne's Reclamation .

However, Shalai, Voice of Plenty is legendary / historic so it does work with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle in some ways.

Shalai seems alright, I might test it out. I've found the deck to have little interaction; have you considered adding Shriekmaw or Wispmare , Ingot Chewer , or even just Reclamation Sage ? It would be nice to get targeted removal from the grave with the Horde of Notions ability

In almost all of my decks I tend to have a no removal policy. I feel like they are wasted slots. I'd rather build my decks to be chaotic, wild, and fast.

I recognize that it's not smart or optimal, but I tend to have the most fun knowing that my decks are balls to the wall on the offensive side. If something on the board is a real issue then I generally trust that one of my other opponents will handle it while I continue to develop my own board, it's a gamble but in some cases it works out.

If I get a fast enough start though usually people have to worry about destroying my things.

The closest thing to removal in this deck is Impetuous Devils

Thanks for the recommendation! I've considered him in the past, 6 CMC is just too much to stomach. This deck plays fast as hell with the avg cmc of the deck being 3.2 overall.

I did recently add Combat Celebrant and it's nasty in the deck, and it's a huge bonus that he is 3 cmc or less so he works with Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle , Aluren , Collected Company , and Sevinne's Reclamation . Plus he has 1 toughness which works really well with Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive

An interesting Elemental I've found for my own deck has been Tectonic Giant his Power and Toughness are 3/4 however... the card is an elemental so it has synergy with the elemental effects and When he attacks you get to choose two modes, either hit everyone on the table for 3 (9 damage each swing) or you can exile the top 2 and choose 1 you get to cast that until the end of your next turn.

These abilities also trigger if an opponent targets it with a spell... just give it a shot, would love to see how it comes out in your playtesting!

So I like to make themed decks and I recently learned how to make custom alters. I made custom cards for all 99 cards. Since you took the time to tune the deck and share it with us I was wondering if you would want to see the alters?

Progenitus Woah! Sorry I haven't answered, I haven't logged into tappedout in a while. I'd love to see them!

I'm currently unsure of how to link the cards. I will have to figure it out
