Momo got some new toys! —July 18, 2021

I went shopping for some of my decks, and Momo got some great new toys:

Ilharg, the Raze-Boar has been planned forva while, but I also got Glorybringer, Combat Celebrant and Tectonic Giant.

Ilharg's attack trigger is even better with Momo's ability. Glorybringer can exert itself multiple times and even each turn if I leave it at home during the last attack if the turn. Tectonic Giant can deal massive damage or draw quite a few cards.

The more I look into Momo, the more I realize how versatile he actually is.

Would you consider running an Amulet of Vigor? You're utilizing enough tapped lands that it may be worthwhile to ensure you get the most out of your mana.

Massacar: I'll definitely consider it. The big question is: How do I get it? But would really be a good inclusion, thanks a lot.

Hey man, love the deck! The alternate art for Moraug is sick. Here are a couple of suggestions:

  • Etali, Primal Storm: What's better then playing your deck? Playing your opponent's decks. This card is ridiculous value, and super fun, too.
  • Sunbird's Invocation: Are you noticing a theme? I love free, random value, and no card does it better then this. It often gets you 4-5 cards on the field for 6 mana, which is an amazing rate.
  • Dockside Extortionist: Where is this???? It's hands down, the best red ramp spell you'll ever want or need. This deck needs more ramp to power out your bois, and this is the best of the bunch.

Well, hope this helps, and as always, Happy Tapping!

Sultai_Sir: Thanks man. I've used the last few days to massively tune the list. I like all of your suggestions. Etali should definitely be added, it's simply perfect here. Extortionist would be great, but it's just too expensive for me. Invocation is fine, but doesn't work well with my current amount of X spells.

Maybe consider Crucible of Worlds to add some land recursion for any of the lands you sacrifice etc.

Also since you've got evolving wilds/terramorphic expanse you should also consider including Fabled Passage just for additional landfall triggers.

Massacar: Both of these are fitting suggestions, thank you. Crucible is just so expensive. I like Passage, but looking at how I already have six fetches for under 4 bucks, I'm not convinced I should add it. I'll definitely do so when I get a copy, though.

I got lucky and bought the Flashback deck, and Dockside Extortionist paid for itself. I suppose I got lucky. I just looked at the price tag of the deck, I didn't realize it was budget. If so, this deck is actually insane for being under 150 bucks. Great job!

Sultai_Sir: I wouldn't exactly call it budget, but I definitely don't want to spend too much in my cards. Most of what is expensive in here became that after I included it into my collection. Thank you nonetheless for the kudos.

Have you considered Generator Servant , Dockside Extortionist , Treasonous Ogre , and Imperial Recruiter for your list? Generator is a great way to accelerate an early Momo, Dockside costs a little $$$ but is worth every penny, and Treasonous is an undervalued way to get HUGE swings of mana very quickly. And Imperial Recruiter can help find Magda, Brazen Outlaw easily... Seems like a great budget deck!

Daedalus19876: All of these are great additions, thank you. I'll see if I can get copies of them, but especially Recruiter and Extortionist are way above my budget.

Naya Panorama and Jund Panorama can also search you up a Mountain. I would exchange them for Dormant Volcano and Zhalfirin Void . The Volcano is too much of a tempo hit, and the Void doesn't seem like a necessary source of colorless mana. Storage lands like Mage-Ring Network seem really clunky, too.

I'm not sure you're running enough dwarves to get anything consistent out of Magda, Brazen Outlaw . You also only have 5 ways that I count to make treasure tokens, and a few are one-offs. I think you either need to go all-in on the dwarf aspect, or pull out of it completely. I think you'd need to run somewhere around 20 dwarves at the least (more would be better) to get some consistency out of that strategy, along with some reliable ways to tap them regularly outside of combat, like with vehicles, Kyren Negotiations , and Dwarven Bloodboiler . The Bloodboiler will also help you to buff up your commander to get that one-shot kill in (provided he doesn't have shroud at the time).

Hopefully this is helpful. And let me know if I'm wrong about how consistently you are able to get the value you want out of the Magda plan here.

bushido_man96: This is great feedback, thanks a lot. I haven't yet had many chances to playtest the deck, but I'm pretty sure you're right about the dwarf plan. I love the general shell of Momo, but I'm kind of unhappy with the current build. Adding more dwarves might work, but if you have other ideas to make the deck more focused, I'd love to hear them.
