meekrab124: when you say 1v1, are you talking about duel commander or just 1v1 commander? because duel commander has a completely different banlist and the rules are different.

For reanimator, Karador, Ghost Chieftain is solid. as for whether or not reanimator is competitive comes down to a few things, the first and foremost is your playgroup. Also, what is your definition of reanimator? because reanimator combo is very effective as a win condition.

In 1 v 1, spot removal is more powerful. Things like strip mine/crucible lock and academy ruins/mindslaver lock become more relevant. The value of targeted discard like duress goes up. Aggro becomes slightly more playable (but still low powered). Aetherflux resevoir plus oloro becomes relevant.

I'm just going to bring up the mono green Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, she should be higher than tier 3 like tier 2 because of how fast she is to combo off right then draw then dig your lands out of your deck play your creatures swing with your dudes after casting Concordant Crossroads boom correct anyone else care to expand please.

There is no doubt in my mind new Selvala is Tier 2. I just spent a few weeks collaborating on and refining Selvala using Red's list as a starting point (although we diverged away from midrange into dedicated fast combo). The result is here, with extensive primer for those interested. It's a very technical and consistent fast combo deck that sometimes plays like storm.

Selvala Brostorm

Selvala was discussed for tier 2, but it probably got lost in the shuffle. She definitely needs to be moved up.

I will Second yavimaya_eldred Selvala is good

As someone extremely interested in building Sedris, I'm at a sort of impasse... There's the control angle toward achieving win con, but after looking at dozens of decks and videos it seems most prefer reanimate/beatdown, towards Sedris's strength.Any insight for a multiplayer meta?

Sedris has seen play at the head of a grixis twin list that I and a few others have played. He's pretty slow and most of us moved to Jeleva for the general.

Hell ya glad to see Dralnu, Lich Lord. moved up hes a personal fav of mine (:

I've played Grixis twin with Sedris for something like a year and a half. I run this list. It's not meant to be super competitive as I don't play in a meta that warrants it, but it should give you an idea of what the archetype is like. I've actually never heard of anyone playing this deck archetype before. There's a ton of things you could do to improve this list though.

Sedris is pretty solidly T2. The combo is easy to tutor for, can present opponents with some problems given how easy it is to recur from the yard, and can be laid out at the end step for surprise value. Still, it's not the fastest deck and has very little it can do as a backup plan. Yard hate kinda sucks too. You can build around these weaknesses if you want, but he's not deserving of T1 by any means.

If you like tormenting your friends with the possibility of winning using a number of different ways at any given time past T3, this deck is a lot of fun to run.

i gotta ask how is eight and a half tails only t 3 his vultron build is straight up op

Short answer? Because dealing 63 combat damage before 1 of 3 combo decks go off on T3-6 is nigh impossible.

Even if no one at the table can answer anything you do with the little fox, you lack tools required to interact with top decks. They can just shrug off the damage you dish out while racing to combo out. By the time you've got the 8 tails + voltron pieces out, Tiers 1 and 2 will have combos ready to go. Mono white's pretty weak. Also, disrupting 8 and a half tails isn't impossible. Protecting the fox is mana intensive and playing voltron incentivizes you to drop down stuff on her. You're putting tons of eggs in one basket.

Unfortunately voltron (and all combat based strategies except hatebears) pretty much maxes out at tier 3. There is just no way kill 3 opponents in time before a stax build can lock you out of the game or a combo deck can just win. I wish there was more diversity in tier 1-2 but as voltron generals go eight and half tails is outclassed by Zurgo Helmsmasher,Rafiq of the Many and a handful of others not tier 2 worthy. I personally see tails as a token mono white inclusion at the weaker end of tier 3.

I've actually had more success with Linvala in mono W Voltron.

Then I tried Derevi Voltron (because of the fact that if she's killed 26378372 times she still costs 4) and had a lot of success.

It is, however, very possible for three creature-based decks to beat a single combo deck to a bloody pulp. My meta's awful for me.

Build zur prison deceiver xD

There is 1 "voltron-esque" build that I have seen win enough to know it belongs in Tier 2: coinman's Bruna. It competes because it has sufficient stax/control to slow and survive while letting bruna cheat on aur costs. In this ways it's not just voltron but it is winning with buffed commander beats.

coinman's bruna

That's basically how I had Bruna built in the first place. A good piece of tech for those builds is Corrupted Conscience, you manage to put that and anything that can get Bruna's power to 10 and someone dies.

Coinman's Bruna is essentially just a Grand Arbiter deck swapping the combo finisher (usually Helm of Obedience or Future Sight) for a handful of Voltron enchantments. It's a cool deck, and definitely the best way to build Bruna for a competitive meta, but at the end of the day it comes down to "But why am I not playing Arbiter instead?" Changing the commander and about 4 other cards makes the deck significantly stronger.

What are the best decks against narset. This guy yelled at me last night when I told him that I didnt think she was the best commander. Now I am tempted to build a deck to destroy narset because its funny! I have seen his deck lose to meren before because of sac engines, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do it.

IronBlackZepp

First time I beat Narset really hard was with Tasigur. But I think you can do it with any Tier 1 Commander, but it's a always a question of money that you can invest. Derevi Prision, Ad/Doomsday Zur, Animar,Boonweaver Karador, Foodchain Tazri, Jeleva Storm - this decks in the hand of a good pilot are real beast's that you can't compare to Narset.

IronBlackZepp: Just build a Zur the Enchanter deck and run Nevermore naming Narset. Then just spend the game keeping Nevermore alive.

enpc: That is so dirty. I love it :-)

On a related note Toxic Deluge and Council's Judgment are solid includes that take out narset without making your deck too silver bullet-esque. Like any commander centric strategy, kill her a couple times and your nemesis will effectively be taxed out of the game. Zur is the easiest commander to win against narset without being close to fully optimized. Hes just so incredibly powerful
