Slight Tinker —March 13, 2019

Got my hands on a Risk Factor so putting that in the deck in place of Browbeat. Also, taking out Not of this World for some value in aggression found in Electrodominance. I have yet to actually cast Not of this World which is my reasoning behind taking that out first. I may end up including it again down the road, but for now I'll see if Electrodominance makes any sort of impact.

Darksteel Garrison seems weak to me because you're spending 5 mana on a glorified Darksteel Citadel crossed with Cathedral of War when you really could just be running said cards. Speaking of which, if you REALLY needed another indestructible land, you could run Cascading Cataracts, although its usefulness is limited in a monocolor deck.

I get that Madblind Mountain is cute with Sensei's Divining Top, but unless you're running Scroll Rack and at least a few more cards that care about deck manipulation, it's not worth losing a tempo by having your land per turn come in tapped.

Your land spots in general seem weak tbh. Looming Spires, Dwarven Ruins, and Mercadian Bazaar do not do enough to be worth losing tempo.

If you're looking for more worthwhile utility lands, I'd suggest Hall of the Bandit Lord, Hanweir Battlements, and Flamekin Village if you wanted to give your commander haste, Inventors' Fair for artifact tutoring, Geier Reach Sanitarium and Mikokoro, Center of the Sea for draw, and Rogue's Passage for giving Kamahl unblockable

Once again, I know you love only relying on Kamahl for attacking, but Valduk, Keeper of the Flame could really be hilarious in this deck because of all the equipment!

Lastly, I believe Trading Post, Goblin Welder, and Buried Ruin could all be very useful for recurring your important artifacts

Keep up the good work! This deck looks very annoying to play against :)

Hey Ocelot44 I definitely appreciate the land help! At the moment I think I'll be keeping Darksteel Garrison because it's a part of an increibly janky combo with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and From the Ashes. It may never actually happen but I think it'll be worth trying for a while. Also, the additional +1+1 it gives may end uo being clutch when Kamahl needs that extra booty.

You have made me realize that i may as well slide in some more indestructible nonbasics though. The haste lands seem redundant and unecessary at the moment because Kamahl aready has haste--and I only have two other creatures in the deck.

I've had my eye on the Sanitarium and Mikokoro for a while. I'll wait a while until I can imvest in Scroll Rack, Mikokoro, and Hall of the Bandit Lord.

You bring up 3 additional great points with Goblin Welder, Inventors' Fair, and Trading Post. I already own all three of them so I'm thinking I'll try them out. If you're feeling up to it I'd like to hear what you would take out to make room for the welder, trading post, and valduk (this especially seems great since i have a good amount of equipment and im running Sundial of the Infinite so I can keep the tokens he makes!).

Thanks again :)

Wow I didn't even realize that Kamahl had haste! My bad!

Well if you really don't want to take out Darksteel Garrison, then I'd say Burning Inquiry, Lava Blister, and Not of This World seem like your weakest links

Appreciate the feedback Ocelot44

I ended up taking out Burning Inquiry and Lava Blister. Im leaving the other one in for now.
