crydra Hey man, nice deck!

Personally, I've always believed Commander is about permanents. You have 99 1-off cards, so hitting the one you need is really hard. Plus, usually there are 3 turns before you can play again. So you better make good use of your time!

This said, you don't want to play a Call of the Conclave when you need to deal with Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger ASAP. That's what I mean, play cards that can be relevant once your turn is over, or in other words, permanents.

Instead of Call of the Conclave, why don't you use something like Parallel Lives, that does almost the same effect, all the time, constantly, forever? Why don't you use Red Sun's Zenith, that can be used several times, instead of Crater's Claws, that will only work once?

I believe you'll be using Boros Charm for indestructibility. If that's the case, use Avacyn, Angel of Hope, that works every turn, forever. If you're using it for Double Strike, invest in Berserkers' Onslaught, that stays there, always.

I don't really know why Vitality Charm is here, really. It's an awful card, and a waste of a useful resource slot. It's like choose between Charging Badger, trample (which would be redundant with Pathbreaker Ibex for example), or regenerate target Craterhoof Behemoth). Really useless...

Long story short, check for permanents than can help you do the things you want to do with sorceries or instants, as they will still be around once the turn ends.

One of my favourites is: guess what would happen if you merge Hornet Queen + Roaring Primadox or Dragonlord Atarka + Erratic Portal or maybe Craterhoof Behemoth + Temur Sabertooth ? give it a try ;)

Anyway, it's a +1 for me! :)
