YamiMajin tw0handt0uch I would also say that Sydri, Galvanic Genius is a great esper storm deck with DD backup. I'm a little biased since I've built a list but I'm pretty sure it's in tier 2 somewhere. Here is my list Sydri life storm if you want to take a look.

Hi,I think you forgot about Gisa, Ghoulcaller. Also, will you add a link for a cEDH deck with Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder?

By the way, you did a good work. Thanks!

Ghoulcaller Gisa is in Tier 4.

Thanks! I was searching for "Gisa" and not "Ghoulcaller" at the first place

yes please add a Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder deck

I made a list for Yidris a while back when he was first spoiled to try to examine his power level. Link.

ShaperSavant also has a list for Yidris in a similar grain (nearly identical decklist). Link. The issue with both is that they lack descriptions/primers. I could potentially do a short writeup for my list next week, but I would prefer if someone else with more personal experience with the commander were to come forward with a list and suitable deck breakdown. There are already far too many decks of mine linked on here, many of which are outdated since I haven't had time to devote to MtG this semester.

Speaking of which, @thegigibeast, could you replace the Prossh list linked in the description with angelforge's deck? It's better, plus he's more knowledgeable on the commander, and updates his list more often than I do. Here's a link to his deck: Food Chain prossh

Do you think you could make a budget Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder under $350?

I could try, but budget storm decks rarely perform well. Budget 4C storm decks will fair far worse, as such decks requires a 1500$+ land base to function properly. You lose most of your win conditions, speed, and resiliency going on anything resembling a tight budget. The entire concept of Yidris would have to be reworked. At that point you might be better off going the Hypergenesis combo route.

NarejED I've saw your list, I found it pretty interesting, but I wonder what you will put in the Doomsday pile and in what order?

NarejED the reason i ask for a decent budget build is because the magic shop near me only does budget commander. so the deck can't go over $350 unfortunately. I want to do Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder really bad but maybe a budget General Tazri would be better? I want a tier 1 commander that can be competitive.

um im pretty sure you can go with a budget yisan list as most of the pricy cards are accelerants. Could be wrong but im pretty sure you can at least match some tier 2 lists despite the cuts.

Budget Tazri would definitely be better. In case you didn't know, Shaper already made both a 250 and 420 budget FCT deck.

Generally the best options for budget commanders are Yisan, the Wanderer Bard and Edric, Spymaster of Trest though. Both lose very little power going from $500 decks to no-budget builds. In fact, Edric, can still function quite well at $50.

Hmmm... Going back to the discussion about GAAIV a while back, I think what's holding him back is access to any seriously good win cons. His combos are all rather mana intensive or have lackluster pieces. If that were to be solved with new prints, he'd probably be worthy of T1 easily.

NarejED do you have links to a budget Yisan, the Wanderer Bard and Edric, Spymaster of Trest and which one do you think is better?

Zenaku17 man youre everywhere asking people for budget lists....go on shapers page and look through his deck he has two different budget lists.

ANT Sidisi can also be done super easily on a $100 budget, but it's very single-focused and repetitive.

You could always go with THE budget Mikaeus deck :)

Is there a reason why the Food Chain Tazri lists are only running elvish spirit guide, not simian? I know the ideal deck isn't running red, but it's still fast mana. Also, would Tinder Wall be a good addition?

Ssg would probably be fine but it's just not really necessary. You prioritize things that can be fed to food chain and neither SSG or Tinder Wall can. Since they are essentially producing colorless, there just isn't really anything worth cutting for them. That said, I'm sure they would be fine. You're kind of on the margins here.

Only one Spirit Guide effect is really needed, and of the two ESG costs $1 less.

@p0megranates Having a hatebear like Teeg in the command zone is incredibly relevant, especially since he shuts off a fair amount of win conditions. And while dying to Rift and Deluge is a thing, he's easily re-castable and can buy you time until you assemble a lock or combo. Shutting off the other wraths is no joke either.

Yup. Just because it's actually possible to deal with a card doesn't necessarily make playing under its influence pleasant. Teeg's no joke.

A question, why is Jeleva a Tier 1 commander? I was talking to my other friends and they say that she isn't tier 1 at all
