Hello everybody! Today I bring you a problem of mine. This deck is for a commander tournament next month and I'm having issues with all the cards I want in there. I simply don't have room within the deck for everything. So I'll list the 'extra' cards I have outside the deck now that I picked up for the deck. You generous people will hopefully give the deck list and the list of extra's a glance, some thought, and suggestions.

First, black and green isn't a color combo I use a lot. If you haven't guessed from my name's appearance, I like the Esper trio. Pairing any of those 3 colors up with either of the other two, or all 3 in one, is what I feel I'm good at. That is my comfort zone. I dabble with blue and green, but nothing more than casually.

Also I have some issues with the deck list as it sits.

I'm running green, I should have mana acceleration and artifact/enchantment hate. I have no ramp besides Sol Ring and Golgari Signet. So I'm lacking in mana ramp and hate of things manufactured and ethereal.

Why is this? Using Skullbriar as my commander, I want counters to throw on him. Those counters are suppose to add up, multiply and ignore subtraction and division.

Trying to get the deck streamlined along this thought, I simply don't have room that I can see for ramp or A/E hate in here. Also there is no room for removal. I got black in here, there should be some removal right? How am I suppose to be competitive in a multiplayer format if I can't ramp up for big spells or get rid of pesky enchantments, artifacts or creatures?

I don't see it working out. but to beef up my dude and swing is the name of my game right?

See my dilemma? It's freaking killing me.

So please do a guy a favor and tell me what you think!

Do I need the ramp and stuff?

What would you swap out for what?

Why?

Is it more synergistic with other cards in the deck?

Or is it a better version of that card?

To everyone that stops by and takes a look, Thank you!

  • Ramp: Harrow, Kodama's Reach, Lay of the Land , Explosive Vegetation, Skyshroud Claim, Explore are the cards I found among what I own for ramping and I got them laying in the pile alongside the deck.
  • Artifact/Enchantment hate: Acidic Slime, Deconstruct , Creeping Mold , Desert Twister, and Back to Nature are what I got laying aside.
  • Black removal: Go for the Throat, Doom Blade, Hero's Downfall.
  • Savra, Queen of the Golgari , she look like fun, but I don't think I got enough sac outlets.
  • Dreg Mangler , Sluiceway Scorpion , and terrus worm I grabbed because their scavenge cost isn't horribly overpriced, and it's nice to have them if I don't get Varolz, the Scar-Striped on the field. *but not necessary*, in my opinion, correct me if you think I'm wrong.
  • Spawnwrithe, this guy is cool, He comes out sooner then his big brother, Giant Appendage or whatever he's called and I did want tokens as another sub-theme in the deck, but in the end, I didn't seem to have enough room to make it consistent enough to matter.
  • Vhati il-Dal, Just seems like he could mess shit up.
  • grave tiatan, again tokens. C'mon I'm running Doubling Season and Primal Vigor!
  • Liliana Vess, mainly would use her as a couple more tutors. ( in know she's not a creature.)
  • Pharika's Mender, recursion. But I also got Phyrexian Arena and Serene Remembrance , if not a couple more I'm not remembering right now.
  • Archetype of Endurance and Archetype of Finality. Both are badass I think. But if I have to choose, Achetype of endurance is what I'd rather have in here.
    • So there you go, the deck, and what I didn't think was quite necessary or I didn't have room for. Let me know what you think! Suggestions and constructive criticism always welcome!*P.S. The mana base will be upgraded as paydays come, hopefully. If you happen to think of any good utility lands, let me know!*
