Build Back Better —Jan. 5, 2023

Hello all, for anyone who found themselves enthralled by my former Vial Smasher and Sakashima decklist, thank your for your generosities and help along the way.

The times of this deck and its large splashy spells like Expropriate and Omniscience was fun, but it is time to take this deck up to the next level. I've gone through reforming the deck to make it far more optimized (but just below the threshold of cEDH.) I've gone through sticking more prominently to the standard game plan of cloning and interacting while reducing the mana costs of most of the cards in the deck- Vial Smasher will do her work regardless of what I play. Regardless, if anyone has any further recommendations on how to improve this deck it would be greatly appreciated :)

Best, Mr_Chazy

I think Wound Reflection could do well in here. I've won games using it in my Vial Smasher/Sakashima build.

ShredderTTN86, I appreciate the suggestion :)

I’ll mull it over with Wound Reflection, but in terms of damage amplifiers, I’m happy with Fiery Emancipation (same CMC but tripled damage) and Dictate of the Twin Gods (purely because it has flash.) But hey, who said more double damage was a bad thing lmao.

This is a well thought out deck, I like it. I also have a Vial Smasher deck, paired him with him Ikra to help ramp, a lot of fun to play. You might want to consider adding Price of Glory and Mindlock Orb on the oppression/protection category.
