Commander Legends + Manabase update —Jan. 21, 2021
Sakashima of a Thousand Faces in for Ovinomancer. Ovinomancer's return clause is a nonbo with nonlegendary clones which I consider more powerful.
Hullbreacher in for Nevinyrral's Disk. Caging disk does not produce fun play patterns for me or my opponents. Hullbreacher is extremely powerful, especially when combined with Dack Fayden and wheeling generally.
Ormos, Archive Keeper in for Faerie Formation. Four mana is a lot for a 1/1 and a card while Ormos' looting is simply very powerful. A split of snow/non-snow basics is also optimal with Ormos.
Olivia Voldaren in for Disciple of the Ring. This list runs few instants and sorceries, so I was only ~70% likely to hit 1 or more instants or sorceries by turn 5. Olivia's theft playstyle is a lot of fun and there are additional +1/+1 counter synergies with Endling.
Tapland reduction: Training Center in for Bojuka Bog Ancient Tomb in for Temple of Epiphany Scalding Tarn in for Temple of Malice Prismatic Vista in for Temple of Deceit

Hi sSasquatch, thanks for tuning in! The majority of my wins come from
- Tree of Perdition
- Theft: Empress Galina, Chainer, Dementia Master and Memnarch.
- As you picked up, pingers: Hateflayer plus one of Gilded Lotus, Coveted Jewel and Prismatic Geoscope will finish things very quickly. Kamahl, Pit Fighter and/or Spikeshot Goblin plus Intruder Alarm also works nicely.
I haven't been able to play in a few months due to a long work trip but would definitely recommend the new Sakashima of a Thousand Faces if you aren't running it already. Happy caging!

I like the idea of stealing the other players stuff! My current build I actually don't have any of the creatures that come in as another (ie Sakashima) but I will for sure be adding them. I have more artifacts in mine but I will also be looking at adding more fun effects that can be used with Marisil instead.
I noticed you have Dockside as a ramp source, are you going to look at adding Hullbreacher also? In combination with any of the windfall/wheel cards can be huge ramp.

Thanks sSasquatch! Another practical advantage of theft as a gameplay strategy is that it scales quite a bit with the strength of your opponents' decks. Geth, Lord of the Vault and Olivia Voldaren are two more potential enablers for this strategy.
Hullbreacher is a windmill slam, I ordered one last week and will be slotting it in for sure. Hullbreacher is very powerful on its own but has additional synergy with Dack Fayden and Windfall, I may also test the new Wheel of Misfortune alongside it.

I have a Marisil list that currently has a few more combos than this but I want to try to make it more fun and less combo like. With this list, what is your win con? I imagine damage from abilities but are there any alternative wins cons you have or go for?
