wideline1414 thanks for pointing it out! It's a very rough draft till they release all the Amass Cards from the set!

Wait, after further inspection, your an imposter! Where are the spiders??? The useless garbage spiders??? :,(

They FINALLY made a decent spider commander, haha!!! I'll be sure to be competing with you for a good deck haha

Thanks SufferFromEDHD for the ideas. Deserted temple I recently sold, but obviously it's better than a plain waste. I don't really like erratic Portal. Having to repay my stuff again will only set me behind I think. Plus I don't really have that many ETBs, especially if it's only creatures. I used to run meter golem but a 7 Mana 3/3 really socks compared to other options. And while removal is nice, I'd rather just play a little more actual threats. The deck doesn't seem it, but I actually am trying to fit in more flash artifacts like the Orrery and Thopter to allow flash speed. And lastly, I already have the plate. But thanks for all the options! I also see you love squandered resources too, one of my favorites as well.

Or Desperate Research

SilentBladeOni I am too!! I actually read spoilers that there will be a Shelob playmat. Along with some others. I order the sauron deck and a set box. Should be enough to get them all. Then I'll just have to buy a few extended arts like Saruman!

Oh! Just a slight thought, this deck could Maybe abuse one or 2 board wipes like Damnation since your Commander is indestructible and you reanimate. Second point, No Mercy? Haha

I haven't played too many stax decks with these colors except for one. So I recommend Yisan, the Wanderer Bard. Not only can get around a lot of Nasty staxs like rule of law, but also makes your deck more reliable when it comes to trying to find the right piece for you match-up. It also will eventually lead you to Elesh norn :p. Second card I'd recommend is Gaddock Teeg. He essentially makes your creatures unkillable through board wipes. Obviously you have a few cards you can't then play.m, but I think the slight annoyance is worth it haha

I'm so excited for the orcish archers, gonna be so fun. I don't know how reliable thrusting Stone would be, but what about Secret Salvage? I'm assuming you're using the discard king, so putting a Nazgul into the grave should be easy!

Thanks SilentBladeOni! That's a very good point. I think sensei's wouldn't dig deep enough, but scroll rack sounds great. I'll definitely try it out! I'll be sure to try It out on my next FNM. I also can't show it right now, but I'm also working on an amass deck with the new LOTR cards, I've always wanted to build an amass deck haha. Thanks again for the advice

If non creatures is a problem, then your entire combo would be a problem. How ever would you get infinite mana without cards like crop rotation or rituals. Should just replace the card with something that deals with the problem, rather than add another dead card. Your deck already has outputs for all the mana, you don't need so many cards that are only there to put mana into to win. In my opinion :p
