Adrix and Nev, Twincasters
Approximate Total Cost:
I learned that I am getting the Quantum Quandrix commander deck for my birthday (mostly because I was asked to order it for myself, but que sera sera), so of course I had to build a deck around in my opinion one of the coolest commanders to come out in a long time, Adrix and Nev, Twincasters. I decided I didn't want to go the just ramp into Avenger of Zendikar and win route as I find those decks kind of boring and Doubling Season is really expensive. Instead, thanks to Curiosity Crafter being printed, along with Toski, Bearer of Secrets, I figured it would be more fun to create more of a Tempo Swarm deck. Plus, I figure it will make wraths a lot worse against the deck since I plan to draw a new hand each turn.
The gameplan for the deck is either:
- Ramp into a turn two or three Adrix and Nev, Twincasters and then play a five mana token card.
- Play a two and three drop into a draw engine like Toski, Bearer of Secrets to keep drawing cards.
1. Emphasize two and three drops that can either make tokens or be turned into tokens later.
2. Token producers should top out at 5 mana (unless they provide additional utility like Ugin, the Ineffable) and should either produce multiple tokens at once or a constant stream of tokens without a mana investment.
3. Look for utility spells that either produce tokens, come on a body, or support a token strategy.
Overall, I am excited to get out and try this deck when I can (and test out a few cards like Helm of the Host in this deck). Also I want to see how many cards this deck can draw and whether running Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries would be worth it. Suggestions welcomed.
