More alternative cost cards; Mogg Salvage , Mindbreak Trap , Bolt Bend , Cave-In , Pyrokinesis , Fury of the Horde , Commandeer , Lavaball Trap . Lavaball Trap can be cast for 3rr with any fetchland opponent uses and is actually perfect with the prowess putting your creatures out of range. Fervent M...

My original thinking was a high instant-sorcery Aragorn, King of Gondor themed around Glamdring but not sure I can quite get my head around what to do or how spellslingery I want. Aragorn's ability to jam through damage is really good but it's a lot of work to spellsling and make enough bodies for ...

My brother cast this a couple times in a Zaffai, Thunder Conductor , now Magnus the Red deck and when it works, it's awesome. But when you cannot get attackers through, it is pretty much dead. So it is a high variance card. I don't remember what he copied, but it was a spell that was at least 6 cmc...

Thrumming Stone is the reason you play Slime Against Humanity. Twinning Staff Nantuko Shrine Branching Evolution Court of Garenbrig I'd play some more draw cards in the vein of Greater Good; Life's Legacy , Momentous Fall , Soul's Majesty , Return of the Wildspeaker , Garruk, Primal Hunter , Rishka...

Rishkar's Expertise and Vanish into Memory are busted cards to cast with Surge to Victory.

@darrenhabib I've been looking at cEDH content in the last few days and I've learned why those guys include things like Crimson Wisps , Expedite and Shore Up . If a combo attempt is interrupted, say by Flusterstorm , one can restart the combo by responding with one of the above mentioned spells; un...

Call of the Ring could do some work here. It makes Obeka hardwr to block and can draw us cards. Good call .. ahh see what I did there. Of note the "Your Ring-bearer is legendary and can't be blocked by creatures with greater power." is actually really relevant for evasion. Also the "...

I really dont like dark confidant in a build like this. Yes the card draw is good but It could be pretty killer if the wrong cards sequence later in the game. I do have two suggestions one serious and one in the maybe category. The maybe is Stormfist Crusader I get that its letting the table draw a...

The utility deserts on the whole are colorless. So the question is "can your deck afford to run colorless lands?". For mono white decks Sand Scout greatest competition I'd say is going to be Emeria the Sky Ruin . A deck with fetchlands and Skullclamp looks like a nice fit for Sand Scout . ...

I assume no Sphinx of the Second Sun because its 8 mana?

Dragonlover

Yes, but on that note Sheoldred, Whispering One is an expensive creature and I think I'll just replace because of budget as well.

Sword Coast Sailor and Agent of the Shadow Thieves could be good here. The red Courts could be some great finishers. Bitterblossom and Thopter Spy Network give us a bunch of tokens. The Tenth Doctor looks playable, too. Did you get a chance to test the deck? How did the upkeep mana producers work f...

My suggestions are going to be to drive you towards the highest power rather than any fun themes you had in mind. Mana is your bottleneck and I would go haaaard into making sure that you can keep the flow going. You really want to be able to cast 3 spells each turn. Frantic Search , Snap , Pyretic R...

Nice reference thread for land types. With Thunder Junction there are more desert matter cards that I'd add to notable support cards in Sand Scout and Cataclysmic Prospecting . I can see running Sand Scout and Map the Frontier with Arid Archway , Scavenger Grounds , and the untapped deserts like Has...

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...
