Trostani’s Tantalizing Voice copy

Commander / EDH* GW (Selesnya) Lifegain Tokens

Copied deck

things done well:

  • 7 removals with nice populate synergies

  • lots of ramp, both creature and land based

  • solid land base

  • nice mana curve with 55% of the deck at 3CMC or below.

things i'm having an issue with:

  • lots of cards depend on lifegain but there isn't a lot of consistent lifegain effects

  • We need at least 3 more draw cards and the ones in the deck can be conditional

  • the deck is split between; going wide, going tall, life gain matters, and preserving the board state. we need to focus in.

I believe there is problems within the draw, I only see 7 draw effects and they seem to have non-bos. For instance skull clamp is great when you can attach it to 1/1 creatures and kill them to draw 2. however this deck has 5 anthems to buff creatures above 1/1 meaning you have to rely on your opponents to kill things for you.

This deck seems to rely rely on the commander for substantial life gain, without Trostani out lifegain is very slow and only 1 or so at a time.

in general a-lot of the lifegain relies on you having a large creature or a plethora of creatures out on the field. so you will probably have a hard time rebuilding after any successful board wipe.

suggestions:

Collective Blessing out for True Conviction just changing out for a different type of anthem, that has a lifegain synergy. Also a lot of tokens will already be larger than 3 power so double strike ultimately adds more damage.

Divine Visitation out for Archangel of Thune some of the tokens you are creating are already stronger than 4/4 and this weaponizes the lifegain. also thought about Cathars' Crusade.

I question Eladamri's Call if you add in archangel then I would keep it because you can tutor up a beater. But right now the bombs in this deck come more from enchantments so a creature tutor seems almost unnecessary.

Hornet Queen out for Giant Adephage, hornet queen feels like you dropped 7 mana into a creature and got a bunch of blockers. I would rather have a massive beater that can close out the game after a few combats.

Tendershoot Dryad out for Ajani, Strength of the Pride this gains you life, makes tokens that grow with life gain, and added in a one sided board wipe. I think tender shoot is an issue because it only anthems the things it creates and if it leaves play the tokens it created become very weak. alternatively Biogenic Ooze makes tokens that will stay strong, and Angel of Invention buffs everything regardless of creature type plus it has lifelink and flying.

I wonder about replacing March of the Multitudes there is only a few cards (nissa and mirari's wake) in the deck that give us a bunch of mana to dump into the spell. and the payout is just going wide. I think this is one of the cards i would drop for a draw spell. maybe Rishkar's Expertise because alot of our bombs are at 5 CMC.

Sandwurm Convergence out for Song of the Worldsoul i think this seems stronger off the top of my head.

Skullclamp out for Momentous Fall same premise of sacing a creature to draw cards but this gives you lifegain and benefits from all the anthems.

Elvish Mystic out for Legion's Landing   we have more than enough ramp already and this gives you an early lifelinker that can be populated.

Heliod, Sun-Crowned replacing Bramble Sovereign (we only have 20 some creatures so there isn't a ton of targets for this card to copy)

Daxos, Blessed by the Sun replacing Eladamri's Call see above about the targets and adds in lifegain.

Ajani's Pridemate replacing Emmara, Soul of the Accord would rather go tall vs wide, and we don't have a lot of untap synergy for emmra.

Resplendent Angel possibly replacing Luminarch Ascension since we have more lifegain this should be more consistent vs the time it takes to turn on luminarch ascension.
