Hi, Last_Laugh here. I've been playing MTG off and on since I was 14 (back around the time Mirage came out... God I'm getting old).

I started off as a casual kitchen table player playing multiplayer with 6+ people and 60 card decks. OMG these games took FOREVER! (3 hours was a short game)

I quit for several years, came back briefly for Torment, left again, and then came back around the end of Time Spiral and have been actively playing since then.

I played Standard from Alara up until Return to Ravnica rotated out (screw Standard Rotation!) but now only play EDH. Animar and Marchesa are my favorite Commanders.

ACTIVE:

Animar, Gaea's Hemorrhoid ⫷PRIMER⫸

Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them

Regarding the potential untap enabler, it really depends. Reveille Squad is asymetric but easier to destroy and has a condition. I'm unsure of how flashing him in would work with rulings and the ability to be untap your creatures. Would it be before attackers are declared, therefore telegraphing it?

Awakening is way too symmetrical and dangerous AF. I would avoid that personally given you can't break parity as easily IMO. Nothing worse than untapping the blue player.

Curse of Bounty is a middle ground between the 2, it also focuses on all non-land permanents.

I would try squad or curse out to see which suits you best. Personally, I try to mitigate risks so I squad would be my choice.

Hope my reasoning is solid.

Raise the Palisade and Everything Comes to Dust are both great boardwipes here. Harsh Mercy is another option if you don't face many other tribal decks.

Kindred Discovery will keep your grip full and $6ish is pretty reasonable considering this card was 20+ bucks awhile back.

I have a few suggestions for ya, but not a bad start.

Reconnaissance is worth its' weight in gold here. If you're unfamiliar with the card I suggest looking it up, it's pretty busted if you know what you're doing. Long story short is attack with EVERYONE safely, deal combat damage in most situations, and untap each creature at the most opportune time (including after combat damage is dealt... both 1st strike and normal) so everyone is untapped by the end of combat.

Purphoros, God of the Forge makes it so every vamp you cast domes each opponent for 4. It also lets you run Scapegoat as a finisher instead of just as 1 mana answer to wraths (trust me when I say bouncing all your stuff back to hand is 100% worth it in response to wraths so you actually have a grip full of cards to redeploy and get eminence triggers again).

On the subject of protection, this is probably the most important support type for aggro decks and there's zero of them in the deck. Don't get caught with your pants down or that is a miserable game where you end up with no hand topdecking cards until you lose. Teferi's Protection, Clever Concealment, Boros Charm, Flawless Maneuver, and I also lump Plumb the Forbidden in this section (same logic as Scapegoat). Seriously, run them ALL... unless your meta has like 0 removal you won't regret it.

Let me know if you're picking up what I'm putting down, I have more suggestions and/or help with cuts if you want it. Also, feel free to check out my list for inspiration. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Edgar's Dega Vampires

DemonDragonJ Yeah, that aura is too expensive and a 3 drop mana rock competing with a 3 drop commander isn't ideal. I'm trying to keep most things low to the ground so I can cast an aura or creature and try to leave myself with 2 mana for Three Dog's sac.

legendofa You aren't the first person to link the card when responding to me lol. Kinda my fault for blacking out the underscore to hide it though.

Hopefully someone is still following this... I have a suggestion for hubs.

"Historic Matters" - I know legendary matters is already a thing but there are a lot of commanders and cards that care about historic spells specifically and they're all pretty build-around. Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage, Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain, Peri Brown, and a bunch of other stuff out of Dr. Who.

March 11, 2024 3:45 a.m.

Sorry if the title doesn't initially make sense...

If The Sixth Doctor's non-legendary token has already resolved and entered the battlefield and I copy it with an effect like Esika's Chariot. Does that token copy the cmc since the Dr's token has that characteristic from rule 111.12? I'm assuming 111.3 covers this, but the example given is literally the opposite and is the result of copying a token without any cmc, so I want to double check before misquoting a rule (The Sixth Doctor / Peri Brown has led to a few friendly arguments already lol).

Thanks in advance rules gurus!

Hey lol, Seeing as you're on. For my 6th Doctor deck I'm thinking of trying an untap enabler but can't decide between Reveille Squad, Curse of Bounty, or to just go ballsy with Awakening. Right now I have Seedborn Muse, Quest for Renewal, Drumbellower, and Intruder Alarm for that effect.

March 7, 2024 12:52 a.m.

Profet93 - I find some of the cantrip and 1/1 token etb auras a bit underwhelming too but the hope is when I sac it then all the tokens getting me 1/1's or drawing cards offsets the initial meh reaction. I do however feel the urge to pack as many of these effects into the deck because I feel like it's one of the deck's major strengths and main realistic way of going wide(ish) without stretching the deck too thin across multiple themes.

As far as weaknesses or whatever goes, I'm really not sure without someone to at least playtest against. This is a deck filled to the brim with cards that won't feel good to draw into if I'm playing catch up, but I think that's an inherent weakness that can only slightly be addressed with anti wrath/removal cards to hopefully avoid that situation as much as possible.

March 7, 2024 12:37 a.m.

Just a heads up, your Adrix and Nev and any other Parallel Lives / Doubling Season effects won't work with your Doctor. Tokens that are the result of copying a spell are never "created" and thus won't trigger those effects. Rule 111.11 and 111.12 if you feel like taking a look. I made the same mistake when crafting around this same pairing.

You're after effects like Strionic Resonator, Twinning Staff, and/or Romana II but want to avoid anything that cares about the token being "created".

March 7, 2024 12:15 a.m.

Just a heads up, your Parallel Lives / Doubling Season effects work with Romana but not your Doctor. Tokens that are the result of copying a spell are never "created" and thus won't trigger those effects. Rule 111.11 and 111.12 if you feel like taking a look. I made the same mistake when crafting around this Dr.

March 7, 2024 12:09 a.m.

Gidgetimer Damnit @ Bennie, that was a good draw engine in testing (thankfully it's literally the only card in the maindeck I don't actually own... again lol). Quick rules question regarding Reki and "cast" specifically. Are the copies of my spells considered cast or are they not cast in the same sense that 'enters tapped and attacking' creatures technically didn't attack?

March 6, 2024 9 a.m.

Profet93 Thanks for taking a look and posting. It's less of a token deck and more of a non-legendary clone deck. My tokens are the result of copying my historic spells, other than a few outliers made by cards with other effects I want like the Battle or Chariot.

I usually get Peri Brown out on turn 3 or 4 and I either played another creature on an earlier turn or another land the next turn to curve into The 6th Doctor by convoking (2 turns after Peri at the latest so far). I aggressively tap my own guys to convoke at this point and preferably dig/tutor for flash/untap enablers to go absolutely nuts.

March 6, 2024 12:49 a.m.

DemonDragonJ I probably wouldn't run Wargate personally. I have Kamahl's Druidic Vow in the maybeboard because I can convoke into and my Doctor will copy the spell but it does hit less of my permanents.

I've gotten in about 10 games so far and have only been mana screwed once, granted my meta does do friendly mulligans as long as you're laying down your hand and proving you aren't just trying for a god hand. The whole tapping my creatures to convoke thing also smooths out my curve and ramps me remarkably well. I may end up adding more 2 cmc ramp to more reliably cast Peri on turn 3 though because then I can typically curve into The Sixth Doctor thanks to convoke.

March 4, 2024 11:01 p.m.

Yeah, the more I think about the tokens, I realize it needs a creative solution. I think I'd need like 10ish different colors of something and 10ish of each (I'm thinking those cheap plastic beads used in boondoggle.). I'd have to set the Aura aside and mark it with a bead, then mark everything with a copy with the same color bead. It's an absolute pain in the ass but feels doable and those beads are small so they don't add much more to haul around.

March 4, 2024 5 p.m.

king-saproling I hadn't even thought of how big of a nightmare the tokens would be to keep track of, ooph. I just saw the commander and it's the only card that's ever made me actually want to focus on auras... so I began theory crafting.

March 4, 2024 4:44 p.m.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me and taking the time to look the deck over and post.

I had a few of those on my radar like 2nd Harvest but totally missed some things like Errant and Teferi. I added a bunch of that to my maybeboard for now because Errant, Metamorph, and Murkfiend are all I own out of that (I wish I still had a Great Henge and Earthcraft lol).

March 4, 2024 3:57 p.m.

Uncivil Unrest is one of the best cards printed in years for Marchesa. I can only describe the feeling as "it feels like you're cheating somehow" because it's so good here.

Plumb the Forbidden in response to non-destroy boardwipes is amazing here. Pseudo dodging counterspells, the flexibility, and instant speed makes this card.

Canoptek Tomb Sentinel finally gives us a repeatable answer to enchantments (or anything nonland) that doesn't cost 7. It honestly feels custom made for Marchesa.

Hey, I was hoping I could get you to take a look at a newer deck I've built and another from Fallout that's still in crafting mode to see if you have any suggestions or feedback. If not, no worries but any and all help would be appreciated.

Dopplegang Bangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

My 1st historic each turn has convoke and gets a non-legendary copy from the commanders. I'm trying to flash convoke on everyone's turn and copy my historic spells/tokens multiple times. Parallel Lives effects don't work here though.

"Wake Up, Wasteland! It's Me, Three Dog!".

3 Dog sacs an aura on attack and creates a copy for everyone else that's attacking. I have several cantrip auras for card draw, ways to get the sac'ed aura back, some creatures to support/carry those aura copies, and just some gross auras to go wide with.
