Crow_Umbra on Combat Superiority

1 minute ago

I don't see combat control variants of Isshin as often as I do other variants, so kudos to you for taking a less conventional build path. My main play group plays with Goad pretty frequently, and Aggro in general, and I understand your concerns about "being the villain" for playing a lot of it. In all honesty, I think it's something that you should lean into if you're going to do it. Being the "table villain" can be fun.

I haven't read through all of your change logs, so my bad if I missed them as past edits, but have you considered any of the following:

• If you want a couple more "donation" creatures to support your Alexios, both Xantcha, Sleeper Agent and Slicer, Hired Muscle  ^Flip could be worth checking out. Assault Suit is also in line with this theme and what you're going for.

• It might be worth it to throw in a Ghostly Prison to further deter attacks at you. Emberwilde Captain is another deterrent that triggers with Isshin.

• Depending on the success you have had with them, it could be worth considering swapping out Boros Battleshaper and Endbringer for creatures in the 3-4 cmc range that can produce more tokens for your own defensive/aggro purposes. Kardur, Doomscourge and Vengeful Ancestor could be additional Goad pieces worth including as potential swaps if you don't go the token support route.

• Looking at stuff already in your Maybeboard, I think Brutal Hordechief or Enduring Courage could be worthy inclusions. Hordechief and similar group slug/drain effects, like Hellrider can help send damage straight to faces, especially since Isshin gives them an additional trigger. Takes some of the pressure off your reliance on combat damage for a deck like this.

Best of luck with the deck. I think a bit more Goad could help spice your deck up, especially if other players don't really want to "buy into" the support that you're offering them. Sometimes you have to pivot from suggesting they fight each other to actively forcing them to do so lol.

I'm mostly just removing this Reconstruct History so I can try it in a different deck. This deck is gonna get changed, and this seems like it could be a fair substitute, but I haven't fully thought it t...

WarJester my more updated build is the one you commented on in moxfield :) There is likely a build that focuses more on landwalk, and Omo would be great in it. That's just not the way I went with it.

Hi Thor1394,

So before I give too many suggestions, can I ask what is the overall game plan? Do you have particular budget restrictions etc?

I would say, I did make this deck myself, and whilst it was pretty good, the play style was not for me. That being said, as your commander has pay off for playing in other peoples turns, may be best to have some additional payoffs as well. I was a big fan of Wavebreak Hippocamp to keep you with card draw, and also Hullbreaker Horror. I get they are both not Faeries, but they are really really useful. Maybe you could get an alter with a Horror with Faerie wings? lol.

Additionally to that, Cloudstone Curio lets you bounce you own flash creatures to your hand, to play again. Also really good once you have played your Brazen Borrower type adventure cards as.... you can use those adventures again.

Will look more and give more ideas in a bit, but good luck on building it, and +1

Love decks with birds! List is 16 cards over 100 right now.

Since you've got blue, I love the cheap costed accessible cards like Pongify and Rapid Hybridization. Sinking one mana to remove something your opponent likely paid more for is pretty great. Condemn is good here as well. Flickering Ward is a pet card of mine that isn't played too much but can be quite versatile!

Oboro, Palace in the Clouds would be awesome in this deck. I didn't know this card existed. May try to trade in cards to get this land cause its kinda pricey to buy.

Garruk's Uprising is a great card in this deck if you have it. I only happen to have one and it's already in my Bristly Bill, Spine Sower deck, so I'm making do with Elemental Bond. Take another look at it though, it says "power 3 or greater," which is 23/33 creatures.

berryjon thanks! I swear I’m not a WOTC employee and had no clue that this event was going to start. I played a game where I got pretty much the best stuff possible. I got Dinrova Horror into Toxril, The Corrosive into Griselbrand into Blazing Archon. My opponent just conceded at that point. I was looking for more of the Momir strategy than raw gameplay. Don’t get me wrong, I love that you made an entire article with over a half hour of gameplay just on my request, thank you. Do you know any strategy that helps you win more matches? “I’ll take the murderous rider because I’m a bastard.” That quote will inspire me forever.
