This has quickly became one of my favorite decks to play. My version is just straight up Enchantress Voltron and it's so much fun, at least for me lol. I killed five players in one turn using Aggravated Assault. I would highly suggest putting Winter Orb in the deck, the value out of it is so good as long as you're attacking with Preston.

Sorcery speed is only a disadvantage if you aren't giving everything flash like the Otter in this set. Activated abilities still are typically stuck in sorcery speed when they specify it, but more and more things are giving things flash

There's definitely a lot of great cards here, but it's a little strange that they're making non legendary creatures that have templating very much like they are a Commander. Valley Floodcaller and many others in this set have so much text. On one hand, this is making the format more complicated, but on the other, I like that some of these can't be your commander. This little otter is going to be able to provide some crazy value and I think it's nice he's stuck in the 99

the best part about "crueclaw heist" is that they have to draw first then u choose a card. so if you know there next card is good (cuz tutor or something) then u can play this and steal it just so they cant use it.

Nice knowing you. I’d usually recommend drinking water and other fluids to fight feeling bad, but if you’ve got rabies I’m thinking you’re gonna pass on that offer. These talent cards are going to be amazing! I just wish this set had more creature type tutors besides the squirrel one (I want to find raccoons and bats!) and that there were more “gift a tapped 1/1 fish” cards.

Helga’s encouragement to cast large creature spells feels like a Bant version of Henzie Toolbox Torre… with the card draw+mana help and without the creatures getting sacrificed!
@alexliang10402 күн бұрын
That's a great comparison.. aside from the colors one key difference is Helga gets stronger the longer she sticks around while Henzie comes back stronger (although he doesnt necessarily want to die repeatedly). Helga has an edge in having blue to defend herself, ramps each turn by 1 by naturally casting fatties, and can be synergistically pumped. Henzie's niche is giving haste and taking advantage of the creatures dying

Baylen is too close to Balan (The Wandering Knight). At least how my playgroup typically says the name. Maybe Balan should be pronounced like "Ballin'", because that's what he does. But this is a sweet new Commander and it will be fierce.

I really love this commander. I started with just creature tokens for the most part, but it's so easy to get board wiped and then your commander does nothing, so I added a bunch of food and treasure token generators.

@NateFinch3 күн бұрын
@bettercommander Yeah, but I get greedy and tap out too often 😅 I just ran it with a bunch of random token makers in addition to the creature tokens and it was so much better. There was a board wipe and I still had a ton of food and treasures. Definitely recommend.

what I did was adding if you fallout auras while adding and a superior card draw engine. I also found other ways in making aura's cheaper to cast. tweaking the land base wasn't that hard. added Sunpetal Grover and exotic orchard. I love Aura battle or decks just because of their redundancy. if an enemy knocks out one of your auras, you just cast another one. after all, they are not going to have enough removal to take everything out.

transmutation font works pretty well in this deck as well as long as you're not afraid of sacking your creatures. Oh and both camellia and experimental confectioner + any sacrifice outlet (where there are tons of for both food and creatures) will be infinite triggers as they create a creature token when you sacrifice a food which in turn is just another food token for you to snack on dude. In fact, brewing this a bit further made me realize that confectioner with feasting trollking and cauldron familiar is an infinite combo that will kill your opponents .....
