So you want to play Vorel ehhh???

Vorel of the Hull Clade is an excellent commander deck to build. Vorel's ability to double counters can allow for a butt-load of crazy shenanigans.

I have been playing Vorel for a little over a year now. This is my build for Vorel and some recommendations I have.

So what are the constraints to this deck?

1. No infinite combos
2. Create threats rather then answer threats
3. Don't be overly complex
4. Hydras

5. Be fun to play against

   So what is the goal of this deck.

This deck focuses on getting value from placing additional counters on permanents. While we might not be taking infinite turns, control the board, or stop all fun the deck is meant to allow for players to play their value without hurting ours (why we run counter spells). This is a casual deck.

All Stars

Managorger Hydra and Forgotten Ancient if not answered they get out of hand fast

Master Biomancer when all of our creatures get a +1/+1 counter were happy, when they get 8, they're screwed

Champion of Lambholt Nobody blocks EVER.

Gyre Sage I heard you like mana...

Eternity Vessel So we can race the lifegain decks

Illusionist's Bracers Yo dawg, I heard you like doublin' things

Fathom Mage and Cold-Eyed Selkie Let's draw cards [Warning you could mill yourself]

Lands

Okay, you really don't need very expensive lands. I got a majority of mine from trading online. If you are going on bare minimum; I recommend at least getting Command Tower, Hinterland Harbor, Breeding Pool, Simic Guildgate , and Temple of Mystery . Everything else just makes your deck a small percent more efficient. If you have the cards play them.

Problem cards

While these aren't bad cards, these are cards I'm considering removing.

Primal Vigor It may be a worse Doubling Season, but it is not Doubling Season. I highly recommend switching out for it mainly because my meta-game is all token decks.

Gilder Bairn I can never seem to get this one to work. Sure it's another Vorel effect, but it is too difficult to tap this one just so I can untap it. Call me inefficient with attacking but, I just never want to risk this hommie.

Hydra Broodmaster I love this card a bit too much. While this card is fun if you have 15 mana to blow on it. I usually never see it when I have the mana to do it or I get it too early. Basically I cash this one up to luck of the draw.

Genesis Wave I get too scared I'm gonna hit a hydra :P

Please offer Suggestions!
