Commander Legends Update —Nov. 25, 2020

So far, removed Sun Titan for Opposition Agent. Thinking of finding space for Hullbreacher. If I can aquire them, I will add in the new commander lands ( Sea of Clouds, Morphic Pool, and Vault of Champions) and replace the Admonket lands.

GhostChieftain I updated the current decklist. Let me know if you have anymore suggestions to add or remove. Thanks!

I would drop yennet, erebos, and a couple lands and put in the counterspells in your maybeboard. It is looking pretty good overall though.

GhostChieftain I don't think I agree. He has a 6 CMC Commander and fetch lands. Also he already has 9 Counterspells, I think that's more than enough!

If he shifts the deck into fully cEDH territory then yes, I would do that you say, but I would go as far as say cut more lands and add a bunch more of fast mana. But as it stands, I don't see cutting lands and Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign (which is really good) for counterspells!

MurderForBrunch They are in the process of fully pushing into cedh with this. I am not sure how yennet is good for counterspells though, wastes 5 mana for an extra card draw each turn. If more card draw on combat is what you want play Tymna the Weaver or just Dark Confidant for an extra without combat. With a fair amount of draw and mana rocks casting oloro shouldn't be too hard, but he is one of the less impactful cards other than the lifegain you get regardless. They also have a low average cmc so they should easily be able to cast their spells very reliably. With more cheap counterspells in a cedh meta you can sit back and stop what is going to kill you and you are set up to go in on a counter war to get your stuff through.

GhostChieftain Right! In that case I agree with you, if the deck is pushing towards cEDH Yennett doesn't do enough then! Is a super good card... in casual tables. In cEDH it draws too little too late.

Now, if cEDH is the way this deck is pushing I would also get other pieces to make it faster. What I mean is, something like Linvala, Keeper of Silence is really good, but if the plan is to cast in turn 4 it might be way too late. I would cut stuff that is either too narrow, too mana intensive or too inconsistent or unreliable, like Sun Titan, Dimir Doppelganger, Mirage Mirror and Unmake. Strangely enough, by my experience Cryptic Command is too expensive and hard to cast most of the time, specially with 3 colours!

In exchange I would add fast mana like Mana Vault, Grim Monolith and Chrome Mox. And other staples like Windfall and Timetwister (availability or budget permitting). Casting a Windfall on turn 1 with 3 or 4 mana on the battlefield is bonkers! Or with a Narset, Parter of Veils!

As a final note, I would consider switching the most expensive ways to draw cards and add some cheaper ones. Like switching Esper Charm and Sphinx's Revelation for Ponder, Preordain and/or Brainstorm.

Thanks for the feedback! I will take a look on what to change out and play test when I can.

Is this deck paper? Cool deck. I've always wanted to make a good oloro deck, and you seem to be rocking it!

Thanks! Yes, this deck is paper and I have the versions of the cards listed for the most part. Oloro has been my favorite commander since it was spoiled. I'm pretty happy with the deck currently.

Good for you!

+1, I would hate to play against this deck with anything casual, but man it looks soooo fun to pilot. Grand Abolisher and Rebuff the Wicked both have great flavor for this kind of build, they both kind of say "your peasant threats amuse me" lol

Thanks! It has been in the works for a while. I like the idea of Rebuff the Wicked, Grand Abolisher was in my "sideboard" as a potential swap for awhile. There are just so many 2 drop white hate bears that it was kind of pushed out. Would be great as a flavor card for sure.
