Re: rate commanders you've played for physical complication

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...

Re: Avacyn, Angel of Hope - Mono-White 'Control'

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 ...

Re: Avacyn, Angel of Hope - Mono-White 'Control'

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...

Re: Will & Rowan Kenrith - Sparks of Ice and Fire (Superfriends)

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...

Re: Brewing the New Niv-Mizzet

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...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Expedited Inheritance is one of those stand out build around cards. Blasphemous Act with six expendable creatures would be 78 cards basically drawn. Its a symmetrical effect but if you are essentially drawing your deck that is tuned you are going to win without passing the turn. I've already starte...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

It doesnt mention nonland? It can be so fun to pick a random forest and end the game for someone. This isn't exactly an early play card, so your opponent is probably got a mana base setup already and would welcome drawing spells for the rest of the game. Saying that it ends the game is not true, li...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I see people getting excited about Undergrowth Recon but this card is suuuuuper slow. You have to wait until your next turn to put a land into play and it comes into play tapped. So you don't get any benefits for two full turns. You'd be doing a Strip Mine or fetch land effect every other turn and s...

That's fair. I've got one more niche card for your consideration: Fog Patch. Probably too narrow, though.
You need to have an effect that makes sure can be blocked every combat, so wouldn't work.

Re: Anzrag, the Quake-Mole - Holy Moley a Budget Brew!

Could this be the place where Leery Fogbeast can finally shine? I'm not seeing it. Unfortunately its a conditional Fog effect dictated by your opponent so you couldn't rely on it. To get the extra combats Anzrag is the one who has to be blocked, so spending a must block card like Irresistible Prey ...

Re: Budget deck price and philosophy?

I literally just posted a budget list for Anzrag, the Quake-Mole in the deck list section now and comes in around $100. As you say on Nexus here the price says $70, but when it actually comes to buying from a single source you are going to end up spending more, rather than shopping around for every ...

Anzrag, the Quake-Mole Fog Goblin Fireslinger Normally I post decks that are optimized for what I think works best for a Commander or theme, but with no budget spared.

The Pride of Hull Clade is one of those cards that I had to read multiple times to make sure I was understanding it right! The plan is pretty simply, cast The Pride of Hull Clade on Turn 3 very consistently and then following turn draw 15! You should be putting around 10 toughness buy Turn 3 on ave...

It seems like you have a lot of fetch lands that target mountains for how few mountains you are running. I was trying out Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance and I've never used it once, so that can easily be replaced by a basic Mountain. Have you managed to play your deck yet? I just completely missed ...

Re: Synthesis Pod brew

So the goal of the deck is to cast 4 and 5 cards from your opponents decks. Unfortunately you'll come to realize how incredible narrow this will play out given that those cards are not going to synergies with anything else most of the time, if even you'll cast some given context of game state. I lik...

Why did you add Lotus Petal ? Just curious what it does for the deck?
I want to make The Enigma Jewel and Ichormoon Gauntlet better and it is a mana boost, maybe putting you a turn earlier on your Rowan or Will play.

I've made and played a Kellan deck that is powerful. Any Commander that lets you select cards in your library end up being very consistent at what you design them to do. You are right in that the quality of your equipment and auras can be much more selective. But obviously they are two completely di...

Re: Ideas for lich themed commander deck

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse means that you will draw your whole deck with the liches Lich, Lich's Mastery, Nefarious Lich.
You'll need a way to kill Sheoldred before you actually lose to running out of cards (Deadly Rollick would do it).
