This deck needs 100% more Knollspine Dragon. I know it's a $5 and not $4, but the 1 extra is definitely worth. Hell, you could probably pick up a moderately played version for 4.

Deathstroke2791 thank you so much! Great suggestion! Never heard of it, below budget, draws cards, and has high power! I'll definitely add it when I buy my next wave of cards!

I run Brion too. I'm currently rewriting my primer. Then I'm gonna put it back to where it's open to public view.

Deathstroke2791 Yeah I saw it on your profile but the page was gone when I clicked it haha! Let me know when you get it back up! Also, huge fan of your Battle of Wits and Phage the Untouchable EDH decks, so it's nice to meet you!

Knollspine Dragon is a nice looking card! Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm looking into building a Brion Stoutarm deck, and there is one suggestion I would make in accordance with this theme, and that's Might Makes Right, it doesn't take anything, but ideally it gets something each turn.Also Solemn Simulacrum, yadda yadda.

This deck seems really cool! Since you are gaining control of a lot of creatures, you might want to look at Risky Move. It would most likely do more harm than good, but it's pretty funny, and in the end, that is what counts right?

Fellwar Stone, Mind Stone, Star Compass could replace 3 mana rocks

If you liked kor cartographer you'll love Solemn Simulacrum

Aetherflux Reservoir can't find a home in here???

having Bloodshot Cyclops as redundancy seems good

Gift of Immortality wasn't good?

Marshal's Anthem could be good

Everflowing Chalice is another good mana rock

I really like the Knollspine Dragon in your maybeboard. maybe over crumbling colossus?

Thawing Glaciers is great for mana hungry commander decks.

What was wrong with Spinerock Knoll? seems great for you deck

ZekeR, SirLag, hoardofnotions thanks for the comments you guys!!!!

Solemn Simulacrum will be replacing the cartographer next time I buy cards!

Risky Move seems too... perilous

hoardofnotions special thanks to you good sir!

I like those mana rocks! I'll probably pick some up to replace Fire Diamond etc.

Phyrexian Processor took the spot of Aetherflux Reservoir. I like to gain my life back.

Bloodshot Cyclops is in my sideboard, haven't really felt the need for him yet.

Gift of Immortality was nice, but cut for more aggressive stuff. Could find it's way back though.

Marshal's Anthem was cut for more card draw. Could also find it's way back it.

Actually, I was thinking that I'd cut the colossus for the Dragon! Read my mind!

Thawing Glaciers is slightly over my $5 budget, but it's on the radar for when I eventually upgrade this deck.

I thought spinerock world be great too, but I was wrong. I mostly exiled lands/mana ramp, and most of the creatures I'd want to cast would have to come after combat, thus making most of my creatures useless(say, Spark Trooper is the only good target, doesn't work). Anyway, I think I just don't have enough good targets for it, and got seriously screwed three times in a row.

Thanks again for the comment guys!

Bloodshot Cyclops is basically a second commander for this deck. Add in a Thornbite Staff, and you can really wreck house....

This looks like the right balance between gimmicky nonsense and consistency, great job! I would consider adding some evoke and evoke-like creatures like Spitebellows. for 3 mana, you get a removal and a 6 power creature that can be thrown by using brion's ability when evoke's trigger in on the stack. The same applies to champion triggers, such as the one of Nova Chaser. This last card let you keep your "sacrifice at the end of the turn" elementals (which can later be thrown) or, if needed, can be casted on a brion-only board and thrown right away.Also, recursion cards like Emeria Shepherd or even Emeria, The Sky Ruin may turn out to be useful in situations where more gas is necessary.

seredward Thanks for the comments! Really appreciate it!

I looked up the Evoke cards, and the only one that seemed to fit is the one you said, Spitebellows. It's on the list!

Nova Chaser has been on the wish list for a while, currently trying to trade with someone for it.

Recursion like those always seemed to slow for me. I prefer Feldon of the Third Path-like cards and straight card draw.

Thanks again!
