Need Help With A Solitary Confinement & Lantern of Insight Deck Idea
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Aug. 20, 2024, 3:39 a.m. by K4nkato
I’m looking to build a rather complex control / prison deck that assembles a Lantern of Insight
control lock while turtling behind Solitary Confinement. I was wondering if there are any commanders / lists people would recommend.

I don’t usually play decks of this sort, but I thought of Omen Machine when I looked at solitary confinement. Is there something there to work with? Making everyone else also not draw in their draw phase..?

I’ve been thinking about trying to build lantern in pioneer since Karn is gone. However, the best I’ve been able to come up with is blinking saheelis silverwing rapidly. Any ideas?

Not to be rude, but I’m interested in making a commander deck centered around Solitary Confinement and Lantern, both of which are not in Pioneer.
If you wanted to make a new thread on that topic I’m sure you’ll get some responses :)

I've fiddled around with Solitary Confinement in another Zur list, that one uses Spirit of the Labyrinth and Teferi's Puzzle Box to get rid of everyone else's hand (I skip mine with Solitary and/or Necropotence), this gives you an awfully long time to win via whatever means you prefer. If you use Chains of Mephistopheles you technically get a Spirit effect that comes with a big upside as it'll mill your opponents, but it's more than $1000, so I mention Spirit. None of this is Casual, but it'd be hard to make a Solitary Confinement list and have it qualify as Casual.

I personally run Solitary Confinement in my Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa / Tymna the Weaver *f-etch* deck.
The deck focuses on 2 main themes. There's a ton of ways to protect me and my board and it has a bunch of stax and hatebear pieces with either 2 power or less for Sidar or flying.
I personally go for post-block pumps with things like Mirror Entity or big X spells like Exsanguinate as finishers but it could easily just buy time to combo.

I suspect Zur the Enchanter might help, he can fetch Solitary Confinement when you need it, as well as various other cards that work with it, stuff like Greater Auramancy and Hanna's Custody. If you use Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
she can find Zur, yet can also find various Mirrormade effects, as well as other cards that might help if you're really into making specific cards work. I guess Sisay can also find Arcum Dagsson, who can dig out other cards that work.
I have a Zur Solitary Confinement deck, it uses Court of Cunning to mill out opponents while I'm very, very hard to interact with. Once Zur is out I only really need a couple swings before I can just sit back and win via mill. The deck is The Lounge Lizard Emperor, it's a very weird deck but it can win if people don't deal with Zur in some way.
