Greater Good, of course. That should find a slot. While we're on sac outlets, Altar of Dementia could be a cool way to use War-Pride kitten copies post combat. As a bonus, it has Volrath flavour which is the best flavour. He's always been my favourite MTG villain too. Also, how would Renata, Called...

Greater Good , of course. That should find a slot. It's funny that you mention Buried Alive . That was in the earliest version of the deck when I was running Necrotic Ooze and a full reanimation package to boot. Genesis is on the bubble at the moment, but maybe it could have a home? We'll have to s...

First of all, thanks y'all for the positive feedback. I'm glad to see that this deck has resonated with others, too! I see a lot great ideas for things that will at least make it into a "Notable Exceptions" section. :grin: Cool stuff, I honestly didn't realise that Volrath plus War-Pride c...

I mean, I run both in my version.

Considering that this thread is the first Google result for "tappedout security risk", maybe we should be careful about verifying this as factual before anything else.

This is an underappreciated card. Mark of Fury is a powerhouse in Shu Yun decks.

If that's the case, I guess I'm speeding up my personal migration to Archidekt. Do you have a source with more information?

I think Ominous Seas might make it into my Thassa deck, but that's about it. Maybe some of the free-with-commander spells might make it into my decks, but I'm worried they're going to be more money than they're worth to me. Overall, Ikoria doesn't really do it for me for constructed, but I am very m...

Thassa, God of the Sea is my favorite big, dumb bois commander. She does it with style.

Prettied up the first post and went into more depth around how things work now!

It's going straight in my Bruse/Kraum beast tribal etb combo cycling deck (yes, you read that correctly).

I clicked through the link in your sig, and that deck is wild. Unpredictable Cyclone definitely belongs in there.

Hey it's the set's red wall of text

I don't exactly know where it goes, but I want to play this card. Maybe an Astral Slide deck? In any event, I absolutely love this card.

I'm not sure why I said Elvish Rejuvenator when I meant Elvish Reclaimer.

Hey, it happens! I heartily endorse Elvish Reclaimer. I run it and it does a lot of good work ensuring that I have enough Islands to use Mystic Sanctuary or getting Glacial Chasm when needed.

Frantic search, careful study and catalog are strong potential inclusions that I keep forgetting about. I might be more inclined to try explore, growth spiral or coiling oracle first because it can further our plans of putting lands out. Are you running those? I need to double back and look at your...

Maybe more card draw is the real answer though.

I've yet to be disappointed to draw Catalog or Frantic Search. I'm giving consideration to adding Careful Study and Thirst for Knowledge/Meaning as well.

Current thoughts for a winning combo (credit to King of Jank for base idea): Volrath + Nacatl War-Pride + Pathbreaker Ibex = Massive Overrun Win or Volrath + Nacatl War-Pride + Biovisionary = Hilarious Combo Win or Volrath + Nacatl War-Pride + Any Clone + Any ETB Removal = Slightly Less Massive Boar...

So I decided to build this deck and I'm running into issues with early game mana and possibly too many exploration effects. What are your thoughts on standard ramp cards like rampant growth, cultivate/kodamas, explosive vegetation, khalni, or realms uncharted? Also, what about courser of kruphix, o...

Updated the first post with more of my thoughts on the deck and an updated list after removing the reanimator components. Thoughts and opinions still welcome!

Not going to lie, I'd get a massive kick out of owning those cards if this turned out to be a product they actually print. Same. I've actually got Mudhole , Storm Crow , and Chimney Imp in top loaders. I would buy at least two of these if they were eventually real. Y'all are in luck, site says they...

I had forgotten about Quillspike + Devoted Druid. I used to have that in my Jarad deck way back when. Pickles is too feel bad for what I'm after. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed for recursion loops Ooh! This is intriguing. Especially with a full package of ETB creatures. I'm defi...

%$#%$#% dude, you can't run Narset with wheels in Brawl, the wheels don't exist in standard.

You can in Oathbreaker, though.

Ooh, that's not a bad idea. It'd kill several birds with one stone. I didn't realize that several things I wanted (Gerrard Weatherlight Hero, Leadership Vacuum, etc.) were in there, too. Thanks for the tip!
