sampersand , welcome to the dungeoneers! And thanks for the suggestions! Here are my thoughts on all of the cards being discussed... - Cathodion - Since the extra mana is only gained via it's death, it's never made the cut for me. Flipping this guy early with no sac outlet seems really bad. And the...

ego I appreciate your thoughtful analysis and your extreme detail of math in your response. I probably won't have as nearly long of a reply, but here are my two points that I hope you consider, and in testing the deck, I believe you will find them to be true: 1. As kenbaumann has already mentioned,...

Outcryqq You may be right. I may be overvaluing the difference it makes. ThePillowman As for Olivia, Mobilized for War , I can definitely say it's making it into the list. I got to play a few games with the update this weekend, and it felt really good. The ability to discard creatures in response t...

I got a question though. Why is it that i rarely see Carnival of Souls in non-cutthroat Grenzo, Dungeon Warden lists? Hey NoNeedToBragoBoutIt ! As kenbaumann stated, dead flips are always under harsh scrutiny. Noncreature cards need to have a severe impact to be worth running. It could be argued th...

Just completed some big updates to the primer with a new FAQ section, an updated (and rearranged) Deck Philosophy section, some additional credits, and some fun new images!

I'll be posting an update to the list within the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that!

Awesome, thanks for the in-depth responses! I've been running this deck at ~85% completion (missing Imperial Recruiter , Dockside Extortionist , and a few of the more expensive lands). Had you considered discard payoffs like Olivia, Mobilized for War or Skirge Familiar ? It feels like this deck is ...

Thanks for the responses! Was Conjurer's Bauble omitted because of its relatively low power level? I feel like in this build it's got functionality at all stages of the game. I know you previously mentioned/took out Chainer, Nightmare Adept - can you talk more about when it didn't perform well? The...

Hey Guerte! I appreciate you putting this primer together. I love me some big rampy shenanigans and have decided to give your list a build (with some personal touches). Your thoughts on Dryad of the Ilysian Grove ? It seems like an amazing addition as it not only allows additional land drops, but al...

snowfox! Yours is the only deck I've essentially copied whole-cloth—I stared at your list back on mtgsalvation for over a year before building it, and I'm constantly impressed by its resiliency and consistency. It is a monstrously good time; thanks so much for writing this fantastic primer and keep...

It's gonna be an exciting year for commander this year, and here is the first set review of 2020; Theros Beyond Death! Blight-Breath Catoblepas - Other cards do what this card does better by simply destroying or exiling creatures without a devotion stipulation. Discordant Piper - Another lackluster ...

Quick question. Thoughts on Phyrexian Altar in addition to the current trinket line-up? Any reason it hasn't entered the deck yet? You know, I've only ever thought of it as a downgrade to Ashnod's, but it's probably worth considering as another outlet for a mana-producing sac outlet. The most diffi...

You don't need to wait btw, apply when you're ready - I'm on the committee, can confirm you'll be fine . We're happy to fast track the process for existing primers from salvation, so as long as everything has ported over fine you should be fine.

Oh awesome! Thanks for the heads up!

Really glad to see this list come over from Salvation. I love Grenzo as a commander, he's just so unique, and this is a great thread. Will you be putting this forward for primer status? I sure hope so, it's a great looking list with plenty of flavour and excellent content. Absolutely! Though appare...
