Flexibility added for CMC efficiency option —June 10, 2022

With the increase of specific Combo decks, sometimes you might want to swap out that Classic Timestop for An Offer You Can't Refuse :)!

By far this has become my go to deck when I play against other competitive decks in my playgroup. The deck itself is meant to handle most threats while keeping a low profile until I am ready to strike for the win. The deck continues to evolve, while keeping it's unique pool of cards, but I am open to additions or even changes. Please feel free to suggest anything that can help me fine tune it to a consistent level of performance. However, keep in mind that while I do run staples of Blue and Red; I don't run specific cards as they are common and predictable.

That may be true in Legacy, but this is a Commander/EDH deck, lol

Definitely Mind's Desire, would work here, but I took Epic Experiment for flavor instead :)!

Basilisk Collar would make a fine addition.

@Pleeber Thanks I definitely had it in mind, and will consider it. I think I want to pick up a Sword of Fire and Ice as well to round up the color protection.

i have a similar deck, it is alot of spells that draw cards or removal/counters, but i use locust god or nivmizzet the firemind, it is more consecutive and has an infinite combo.

@Apex_kiljoy02, true I can just substituted other more powerful commanders and tweak it to be more controlling and even add an infinite combo... but then I would be playing a predictable deck. I purposely made this my own, with synergies that are not meta; makes for a better exp when it all comes together.

Silverbluff Bridge is now illegal in EDH play. For a replacement land I would say Castle Vantress or Castle Embereth

@rog0325: I'm preemptively adding this card to my deck, I am aware it is not released yet therefor not legal until modern horizons 2 releases. Thanks for looking out though :)!

oh gotchu. I feel really stupid now because M made the same mistake of pointing out illegal cards on someone elses deck not realizing they aren't out. My bad mate

@rog0325: It happens to the best of us, technically it should be legal as of today pre-release, but for some reason it still shows as an illegal card, lol. Either way, I'm sure the other deck realized what happened, just like me. So all is good and no harm no foul.
