Another revision - This time gigantic —Nov. 16, 2017

I was disappointed with the way the deck handled itself. So I enlisted the help of WizardMN to help and help he did. This deck now comes with a better mana base, infinite toughness based combo (Gives infinite toughness, which can give infinite life)

I wanted to stay away from infinites, but Doran is not a card that is professionally supported in Magic. This deck still has its roots based on toughness, but now comes with a larger power level.

Hi,

stumbled upon your deck after I was busy sorting my own version of Doran. I like what I see so far and having a primer is always helpful, especially for the newer players.

A few suggestions/questions:

  • The double cards in the deck categories are somewhat confusing. First time I saw I counted 107 cards, then I was like; hey double cards in categories are present. I would make a note about it in your primer.

  • In my meta we play lots of multiplayer. Do you feel that the single target removal is very helpful? I stopped using the mayority of them in my Doran build, because it did not only serve me.

  • Did you consider Eidolon of Rhetoric ?

  • And what about Vizier of the Menagerie ?

A great looking deck nevertheless. You got my vote!

Check my profile if you are interested in what I did.

Cheers, PJ

Grim contest could be swapped for Mortify

maybe take out bar the door for card draw? Painful Truths Read the Bones Harmonize

Eternal Witness/Regrowth are generic good cards

maybe swap temple of the false god for Winding Canyons? This way you have another vedalken orrey on a land

Do you have problems getting your lands drops? Looks like you have 32 lands and couple high CMC cards. Might be worth cutting oathsworn giant or pontiff of blight for some lands?

Maybe cut cathar's shield as well? slagwurm armor seems better and i don't know how many of that effect you need

I really like the deck! Looks like a fun twist on the agro deck

PartyJ,

Added in that under the Card Categories tab, thanks for the catch

I tend to go heavy on single target removal, mostly because I always like to have the ability to remove 1 threat, over the entire board. This deck runs a good amount of both removal. Even in multiplayer, single target is always useful. I may remove some in the long run though, but so far I dont encounter issues with the removal flood.

Eidolon of Rhetoric - I have considered it, but itll tend to slow me down too much. Its T/CMC ratio is also a bit of a letdown.

Vizier of the Menagerie - Ooh! Thats something worth considering! Though I dont like its T/CMC ratio, hot dog is it powerful.

and hoardofnotions,

Grim Contest: Its very flavourful though..Ill think about replacing it with Mortify, I might just remove it as removal and replace it entirely

Bar the Door: No. Just no. Bar the Door is a game winner. I also dont think I lack card draw, Ill have to see about that.

Regrowth/Eternal Witness: Regrowth probably over Witness, the GG in its cost is very unappealing to me.

Winding Canyons: Good idea

Land hasnt really been an issue, with all the ramp in the deck, 32 lands are enough. Though I dont really like Pontiff as in this deck hes basically a more expensive Kami of Old Stone (Since Extort really isnt that helpful here).

Cathar's Shield - Vigilance enabler and is free to cast, quite good, no?

Really is a fun deck to use. People I use it against seem to hate it though. I'm gonna add some quotes from players to the description
