Creature protection has been removed and replaced with mana. This is because people play so many and varies wipes in Commander that the ability to recast your Commander becomes more effective than protecting it.

To get this deck into its final form would then require adding the following competitive cards (in order of cost) -

Basalt Monolith

Mana Vault

Grim Monolith

Mana Crypt

Mana Vault added and Basalt Monolith / Grim Monolith are on their way.

I'll probably end up skipping Mana Crypt like I did in my Godo since it's just so damned IRL expensive.

Completed.

For even more mana, consider the following enchantments -

Wild Growth

Utopia Sprawl

Fertile Ground

Overgrowth

Dawn's Reflection

Market Festival

Completed, but keeping GW because it's effectively late-game ramp and TaN because it's my alternate win condition.

Would be good to add Zodiac Dragon because it matches the thrust of this deck - cast shit over and over until someone kills you or it goes through.

I just looked up ZD in an effort to purchase it, but apparently it costs literally all the money. However, an Asian version can be bought at 1/5 the Western price, so perhaps that's the way to go.

Completed by putting this addition into the maybe pile.

Aggravated Assault might be better than Inquisitor's Flail since it doesn't make Atarka more vulnerable.

January 12, 2019 2:40 p.m.

bryanedds says... #11

But the problem with Aggravated Assault is that it is slow to deploy (will likely not be usable on the turn that Atarka is cast).

Yet on the other hand, Aggravated Assault also counts as part of an alternative win combo with Sword of Feast and Famine .

... And it combine with Bear Umbra . Looks like we should slot it in.

January 13, 2019 1:17 p.m.

Completed.

Add Rhythm of the Wild as it's both anti-counter and haste!

Completed by replacing Defense Grid instead.

bryanedds says... #18

Bloodsworn Steward may be preferable to Haunted Cloak since it is likely to require an extra turn to give Atarka haste.

January 27, 2019 8:50 p.m.

bryanedds says... #19

Completed by replacing Hellkite Tyrant instead (haste was yet overly lacking).

bryanedds says... #20

Actually, it was the orrery that it replaced.

I've started noticing some new color-screwed problems, so it might be worth it to slot Chromatic Lantern back in.

January 28, 2019 1:25 a.m.

bryanedds says... #22

Completed by replacing the talisman.

Actually, only Leyline of Lifeforce is worth considering. Dosan will kill my flash strategy.
