Trynn & Silvar (Human Tribal)
Posted: Wed May 20, 2020 10:11 am
The other night I sat down with my husband and a couple friends and we played the Commander 2020 precons for a while. We got 3 games in all told, and much to my shock, I won all three with the Mardu Humans precon, having switched Jirian Kudro out for Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free. I was able to find someone to attack into for the free token from Trynn every turn, and Silvar got downright brutal because he was hard to deal with. Obviously, we're talking about precon level play here. I'd say that the precons this year are some of the most powerful they've ever printed, relative to the others and how they could stand up to a casual table out of the box.
With that in mind, I decided it was the first precon I wanted to upgrade. The two ways to win are to smash someone for 21 Commander damage with Silvar, or to go swing in with a lot of buffed humans. I'm not leaning super hard into an aristocrats style strategy with Silvar, though there is definitely some extra benefits I've added to the deck for sacrificing creatures.
At this point, I've made all the changes to the precon I want to using mostly what I have sitting around and after opening some Ikoria. There are some cards I'd like to find room for, eventually:
Embercleave
Imperial Recruiter
Recruiter of the Guard
I'm posting here hoping for some suggestions and discussion about what people would add or cut from the deck. Note that I'm aware the land base is atrocious right now. I'm looking more for suggestions and comments regarding the non-land cards. To that end, here is the list so far:
