I haven't played this list yet but I did put in some orders for most of the cards. I will post to the list if and when I get a chance to play it with some results.
Decklist
Approximate Total Cost:
Birgi, God of Storytelling I looked into the mana generation and cost reduction elements but I didn't think that my card advantage was real enough for it to really be sustainable. I also think that these effects tend to play more to the combo element I was trying to avoid as my goal isn't to cast all the spells and kill everyone in one turn. I did think about Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty but it would be a lot more likely that if I did play it, it would be like 100% used on the horn side. I still think it could be viable for that but I don't think the mana production is what I need with my approach. I don't plan on chaining infinitely.duducrash wrote: ↑1 year agoBirgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty is pretty sweet in these decks.
Livaan, Cultist of Tiamat will also enable the big beats you seem to do.
It could but I think it fits a lot of the same issues as Birgi does (outlined my thoughts above). There is actually a downside with this card in that my commander allows me to cast other players instant and sorcery spells which likely aren't going to be nearly as red heavy and it doesn't cost reduce for them. I opted for a little bit of any color mana production to cast spells with the lvl 3 saga of my commander but I don't even know that that is right to do. Maybe with some testing I can think about these more but if this deck turns into a "play my whole deck" concept I am going to dumpster it immediately so its not where I want to start if I am being honest.
