Because the first time you cast her you are probably only exiling 1-2 cards, it's quality and not quantity of spells that I'm thinking. The low hanging fruit is extra turn cards. If Chun-Li has any type of ongoing evasion thats GG. I would play as many additional mana instant/sorcery so that you can...

I've never been one to run cantrip cards like Ponder , Preordain , etc in decks that don't specifically have a reason. I never run them to "smooth out draws" or think of them as ways to "dig deeper into your library". However Brainstorm is the exception. There are three reasons. ...

It's probably my natural biases but I lean toward enchantments. Raffine letting you bin enchantments while also letting you make Academy Rector a threat is hilarious to me for some reason; don't know that I've ever forced anyone to kill my rector like that since the days of Sword of Fire and Ice No...

I have a small question: Regenerating a creature removes it from combat, doesn't it? So Boon of Erebos et al. are more of a modal spell offering pump OR protection, aren't they? When you cast these cards they will put a regeneration shield around the creature until end of turn. If the creature is d...

Thunder junction has some Desert themed cards. Colossal Rattlewurm , Cataclysmic Prospecting (Spice mining), Dune Chanter , Sand Scout are perfectly in theme for the deck. You'd want to back this up with Deserts; Desert of the Fervent , Desert of the Indomitable , Desert of the True , Hashep Oasis ,...

I saw the "Planeswalker token makers" and you could go Ascend from Avernus, Command the Dreadhorde, Primevals' Glorious Rebirth, Triumphant Reckoning to lean heavily into this theme.

Currently you can't search for several multiple keywords for the Oracle Text.

So an example might be "instant sorcery".

This really makes it unusable, so I find I have to go offsite to do my card lookups.

How do you feel about proxies? You can do the alternative name frames and use custom art work to convey your deck. You can buy the original cards and bring them along to your playgroup to prove you own the cards. I've been getting into custom card making quite a bit to give my decks a particular the...

Maybe I am missing something but if you try and enter more than one word into the "Oracle Text" then Fblthp will tell you no matches, I've tried using quotes around the words and + and , in between but no luck. You can't really use the search functionality without several words. Just try &...

I've seen a lot about average cost on this site and Commander reviews on other sites, but I've never been competitive enough to pay attention to such metrics and study them, so I'm a bit behind. I'm guessing from what I've seen that it's about the tempo of playing 2+ cards per turn to then jam your...

The average cost of your cards is about 4 mana, which means that until you get 8 mana sources you'll be only casting on average one spell each turn. Especially because you have quite a few X cards. So when you say needs card drawing, currently this is not a problem as you'll always have cards in han...

Obeka, Splitter of Seconds Commander 1 Obeka, Splitter of Seconds Cheat into play / Untap / Mana 1 Braid of Fire 1 Sands of Time 1 Mist of Stagnation 1 As Foretold 1 Braids, Conjurer Adept 1 Gate to the Aether 1 Curse of Unbinding 1 Jhoira of the Ghitu 1 Uvilda, Dean of Perfection // Nassari, Dean ...

Joke deck idea: get the maximum amount of Loot loot with a single permanent. One with the Stars + Mycosynth Lattice + March of the Machines + Ashaya, Soul of the Wild ? I guess you'll also need some kindred planeswalker battles too, since there aren't any ways to turn something into one of those ca...

Not many decks get to hold up 4 mana each turn in the hopes of bagging value. Even though its got that unique ability to copy triggered or activated abilities, if you are looking to get full value (4 mana) from the card that would also need to be a "targeted" trigger. I went through top pl...

The "Leylines" give can be freebies to get the enchantment card type rolling early; Leyline of Abundance , Leyline of Anticipation , Leyline of Combustion , Leyline of Lifeforce , Leyline of Lightning , Leyline of Punishment , Leyline of Singularity , Leyline of Vitality . Planeswakers and...

There is a new card Obeka, Splitter of Seconds which creates additional upkeep steps after combat damage step. My question is will those upkeep steps still be during combat? I know there is a Beginning phase but it doesn't seem to me that Obeka, Splitter of Seconds would put you specifically into th...

I thought about how I could make the deck more proactive and as you can get draw off own creatures I've added token creature makers in Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor . Then I've changed a few of the damage spells so that you can also hit your own creatures to leverage off this with Martyr of ...

I wonder if this might be a deck for Academy Rector since you can blast her so easily and she gets Virtue of Courage // Embereth Blaze or Underworld Breach on demand. Maybe too slow for near-competitive. One thing I will say is that if you intend to play this in CEDH you probably want some answers ...

I mean Armageddon and Ravages of War are the reason you should play Avacyn in the first place :P Note Ravages got a reprint in Fallout at around $20. You might run into salt as a lot of casual Commander players don't like mass land destruction, but with a Windgrace player this already signals that i...

Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot End the Festivities Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot grabbed my attention immediately and looks to be a powerhouse in the competitive scene. My first thought was to make a deck with lots of one-for-one damage spells as you can make a cantrip out of each one, meaning you always ha...

Maybe mono white or mono black control decks that mainly deal with boards at sorcery speed. The plan is simple, wait for your opponents to commit to the board and then wipe. Pass the turn and go off and have a smoke outside and come back when its your turn. There is no stress or math about "wha...

Yeah, PrimevalCommander pointed that out as well. What kind of cards or types of cards would you add to make the deck more proactive? A few more threat-like cards and some extra pillowfort/stax to slow the game down to the level of a mono-white deck? I would play draw cards as this will still give ...

Even though you have Avacyn, Angel of Hope as Commander, I think you are running too many creature board wipes and you'll find a lot of games that you want to be more proactive. The problem is that Avacyn is 8 mana and people will save their removal for her. So your one-sided board wipes are not goi...

Radstorm was spoiled many months ago, so I knew I was going to add it to the deck. I've moved away from a couple of enablers like Mishra's Bauble and Urza's Bauble but still have lots of cheap spells. A reasonable normal sequence would be on turn after Will Kenrith use [-2] to cast Rowan Kenrith an...

If this was literally from memory then that is impressive! However it does come across as a little disjointed card selection and will bottleneck at deploying cards most games. If you're willing to trade synergy for general cards already, then you can definitely lower the curve a lot. I'd get as many...
