Gidgetimer - I forgot pathways too. I'd put them over snow basics but I find I only want them in 2 color decks - in 3+ rainbows/shocks/fetches/duals all the way lol. Though I will say the full art/alternate version are beautiful.

A Sensei's Divining Top and Aetherflux Reservoir opens up more combo lines and are both just great on their own.

Because I know people are lazy

I'm willing to bet that after rotation they'll be no more than 2.50. They'll likely be shoved into supplemental product too like challenger decks right before they rotate or jammed into a pre-con down the line. I don't think anyone is saying they're bad. The general consensus seems to be that they're good for the environment they were made for: standard but when we start talking about other formats they become subpar. The snow duals are only good in pauper and outside of that they're subpar - which is okay.

Honestly, in edh

1) duals

2) fetches

3) shocks

4) Rainbows

5) Good utility lands/lands that can produce more than 1 mana that don't bounce back to your hand/lands that give your other lands an additional land type

There are a lot of solid utility lands but I'm too lazy to list em all - a lot of good edh lands fall into this category

6) battlebond lands

7) horizon lands

8) pain lands

9) slow lands with a land type

10) snow basics

Everything else will likely fall into the budget/casual building category unless they print something strictly better.

2.5/5

They're great on a budget but likely won't make waves in any format. Will likely only be played in casual edh and have a small run in standard.

Perhaps message one of the moderators or ask yeaGO to help you fix it.

I'm assuming this is the deck in question

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/do-we-have-a-deal-2/

Attack with Argothian Elder, tap Forest, untap Argothian Elder with Maze of Ith activate Argothian Elder untap Maze of Ith and Forest rinse and repeat. Then funnel that mana into Yisan, the Wanderer Bard for all the value.

"The creature isn’t removed from combat; it just has its damage prevented. It’s still an attacking creature until the combat phase is complete" - it's just such an interesting ruling.

Also, it's fair to note that with some newer cards this is even easier ;)

You put the link in between " < " and " > " remove the quotation Mark's.

Inkmoth - there was a pod caster that played my rakdos turbo fog list but was completely mismatched in power levels so he got turn 4ed :( so I understand.

I look forward to the update!

With all the work you've put into this you deserve way more. Like, you have some serious dedication. Most people will make a list and abandon it after a rotation or 2. Yours is still up to date after all this time. Hopefully, by next year you'll break 1k. Have you thought about trying to get your list featured on some of the bigger YouTube channels? Like, I know a few have like a donate system and that's semi-detering but it would super extend your reach.

This is why I prefer cedh - play whatever you want with the expectation that everything is going to be broken. Casuals are a finicky bunch and it'll be hard to find a group on the same wave length.

With what you have there will be a clear disparity in power levels. My guess is that animar will stomp the table unless your friends gang up in the piolet K'rrik and Kaalia will also be problematic as they cheat on mana. Progenitus and Elesh norn will likely always be the underdog - not that they couldn't win some of the time but the chances aren't going to be 25% with this current lineup - deck lists of each would help us gauge this better.

My suggestion is just using precons if you have them. They're relatively even in power and lean towards the more casual side of the format and with some tweaks could be decent battlecruisers/high power decks.

So, I've been scouring scryfall researching this commander.

Auto includes budget permitting

Fatties

Blightsteel Colossus - kill target player seems good

Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur - I can hear the groans now

Razaketh, the Foulblooded - allows you to sac your smoll evasive creature to find the perfect threat/answer to a situation

Toxrill, the Corrosive - all hail the slug king

Now before I forget shameless plug of my brew in progress

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/crouching-satoru-hidden-blightsteel/?cb=1641259409

griffstick - I like these cards but I do want my evasion creatures to do a tiny bit more than be evasive. Also, I'm not sure I'll have mana to sync into things - the ability costs a lot. It's still a work in progress I'll probably finish it when I'm not at work lol but as always thanks for the suggestions

Also, I feel the game has become very oversaturated. Between content creation and product releases it's very hard to enjoy sets before they're trying to shove another 1 down your throat. With lock downs/covid shenanigans it was amplified 1000%.

Like, did anyone get to play commander legends? I got lucky enough to get some friends together and play at home but it would of been super fun to play at my lgs. That format had to be the best drafting experience I've had last year and I never got to do it in store :(

Sets get figured out and everyone is onto the next new shiny thing - it's hard to brew honestly because so many people are already figuring out the skeletons/bulk of the deck you'll be lucky to get above a 30% difference in cards.

Been here too. I use to be super into modern was trying to build all the meta decks - the format basically died when another lgs popped up in the area; we had 3 at the time and it splintered the player base. Now it's all commander and draft - I've found that I really enjoy limited being able to figure out what's best in a tiny card Pool and being a $15 activity I can do every other friday to socialize/improve at has been much more enjoyable than trying to keep up with the metagame of other formats.

Good etbs, good static abilities and good triggered abilities that happen by dealing damage to opponents. Combine that with top deck manipulation like Brainstorm and Sensei's Divining Top and you'll have yourself a decent high power deck. It's just going to be finding the right mix of unblockable/evasive utility creatures and big bomb game ending creatures.

Augur of Autumn - this card needs to be in every green deck.

Malevolent Hermit  ^Flip - semi popular now but will probably be $10 next year it not reprinted

Florian, Voldaren Scion - basically rakdos Tymna

Katilda, Dawnhart Prime - ramp, pay off and human synergy card is a slam dunk
