I love the inclusion of Ephara, God of the Polis in this list over something like Mentor of the Meek. I'll have to give that one a shot in my own build.

What are your thoughts on Serra the Benevolent over something like Elspeth, Sun's Champion?

I've said this on other Kykar threads, but if you are basically creature-less, then you need to find a copy of Overburden. It's hilarious, especially on turn 2.

https://scryfall.com/@shquidia/decks/6ca4ba3c-e5b4-4daf-b48d-a260d2d82f1a (Arjun, red/blue peculiar junk) this is basically a pile of my favourite cards rather than a cogent deck. I was hoping someone could suggest another "core" card for the deck, ie, not a refinement of the engine or an...

I need some advice on my Selvala, Explorer Returned deck. This is my oldest deck and nearly every card has proved ist value many times or is a pet card I don't want to cut. I really like the power level because it's on par with my playgroup's. Nontheless there are some cards I want to test: Sometim...

Don't sleep on Fact or Fiction just because it gives someone else a choice. I've been playing that card since it was first printed way back in Invasion, and it's always incredible. Even if your opponent is able to correctly weight the individual power level of all five cards, s/he will never have pe...

From a very high level, it kinda looks like you've gone a bit too far in the artifact direction. When I first read through your list, it almost looked like it was a Daretti shell with a different guy at the helm. Kuldotha Forgemaster is a fine card, but I doubt he's good enough to warp your list tha...

I'm looking for some advice on my Mairsil, the Pretender deck. It's currently at a decent power level with no intentions go with an infinite combo route. (Although it does ocassionaly happen due to Necrotic Ooze , but if I'm using an opponent's graveyard to go off, I'm fine with it,) It's a control...

Hazoret the Fervent seems like a fine cut for Rakdos. Winds of Abandon is flexible enough as a single removal spell or a wrath that it will probably stay. I ended up cutting Forsake the Worldly for the Idol. If I were to cut a wrath, or just upgrade them, I would probably go from Cleansing Nova to ...

Let's try this again... My Rakdos deck here finally picked up a copy of Spawn of Mayhem . This card checks a lot of boxes in the deck: enables Rakdos (albeit not on turn three), increases the Demon tribal count (which incidentally could make Liliana's Contract more of a thing), and it's another reas...

I have not experienced that exact result with Evolution Sage yet, but that's precisely why I kept it in my list as well: get a couple extra loyalty counters on a planeswalker and fire off an ultimate before anyone can react. Well played! It sounds like you've arrived at a point where the Lord is mos...

If you do like the lifegain route whichever it might be, a card that I have had considerable success with is book of rass . It gets a ton of flack for being expensive to play and use, but resolving it and using it a few times will almost assuredly win you the game. Just think of it as a colorless g...

I agree that you could just add a couple of planeswalkers without making it a "superfriends" deck or adding degenerate stuff like The Chain Veil . As mentioned, Garruk, Cursed Huntsman does a lot of things well. Vraska, Relic Seeker and Liliana, Dreadhorde General also check a lot of boxes...

Update! ADDS: 1 Daxos, Blessed by the Sun 1 Stoneforge Mystic 1 Mask of Memory 1 Sword of the Animist 1 Sword of Feast and Famine 1 Sword of Fire and Ice CUTS: 1 Mother of Runes 1 Emancipation Angel 1 Mangara of Corondor 1 Alms Collector 1 Selfless Squire 1 Anointed Procession Trying out a Stoneforg...

The issue is I don't know what to cut. This is probably my favorite part of the process, mostly because it's the hardest thing to do to one's own deck, so you almost have to get someone else to give you perspective. I'm as guilty of this as anyone, so it's always good to lend a hand. Here goes: - S...

Would take out: Patron of the Orochi (8 mana? No way) Prowling Serpopard (Not really needed unless everyone's running tons of blue - you flash things in when they tap out) Ramunap Excavator (Why? Unless lots of land destruction in your area) Green Sun's Zenith (sorcery speed is for losers. ABF Alwa...

+1 for Nimbus Maze, should be a Tundra more often than not.
+1 more for Expansion // Explosion, checks a lot of boxes for just one card.

Finally got to break this deck out and play a couple of games over the weekend! - Game 1 was against Alela and Edgar Markov . I never saw a self-bouncing creature, but I did get to a board state with Pearl Medallion , Endless Atlas , and Arch of Orazca . Unfortunately, all of my threats ( The Immort...

100% you should be playing Fervent Champion , Kazuul's Toll Collector . Mana management is key and these guys help to mitigate that and are just the best play after a wrath effect, where you just cast them out equip them with everything and smash hard. Kazuul's Toll Collector also get's around Ston...

So, I'm up to 88 cards in this list as of this writing, which means I have 12 spots left in the deck, and I've compiled a list of about 15 cards that could fit into those spots: Spellskite Brass Squire Solemn Simulacrum Karn, Scion of Urza Basilisk Collar Shadowspear Umezawa's Jitte Crucible of Worl...

I've played about half a dozen games and made two revisions with my Dalakos deck. Here's some of my observations: Cost reducers pay their weight in gold. All of those Creatures that reduce cost make it cheap to play Equipment, then Dalakos can suit them up easily and you can toss them at opponents....

Good call on Field of the Dead . It's basically free value bodies just by including a few snow basics. I love it so much that I've even put it in a few mono-colored decks. You make a great point about Conqueror's Flail , and it's cheap enough to cast/equip. I'll put it in my list as soon as I track ...

I've done a little testing with Dalakos, and Mask of Memory was a huge hit. The casting and equip costs are both very low, and seeing that many cards per combat is incredibly powerful. Curse of Opulence was not initially on my radar, but it looks like it might be a solid fit here. It'll be interesti...

Lots of good suggestions here, but I'm surprised no ones suggested Ilharg, the Raze-Boar or Etali, Primal Storm . That's good, clean fun right there. I'll second this, and add Neheb the Eternal to the mix. All three of these can really do some fun degenerate stuff. Torbran is pretty popular now, bu...

Finally managed to track down a copy of Idol of Oblivion for my Oketra deck here. Not sure what to cut just yet as I haven't played it too much recently.

goblin engineer and goblin welder feel like two very powerful, cheap staples for this kinda deck. Engineer in particular is going to really do work at finding swords and putting them out at the cost of say, a bloodforged battleaxe token. Being able to equip them to give them really supercharges the...
