I'm just curious, is there a reason you don't run ramp or spot removal?

Cards I would consider:

Just to name a few.

Sadly, Serra Ascendant is banned in EDH (as far as I know) because it would definitively be added. As for ramp, i'll agree i don't have much. The reason for Farseek is, I guess, for the Temple Garden?

I do not know what to remove for your suggestions, though. Any ideas?

Serra Ascendant is banned in Duel Commander, not American rules commander, so you can add her.

The shop i play at is European rules commander. Sadly.

Thanks for the input! Sun Titan, Farseek and Path to Exile will be added shortly. I have to go buy the Swords to Plowshares and Saffi Eriksdotter, though.

Any other additions or changes you think that would be beneficial here?

A good point was made by neverdie... so i'm trying to add some removal, which could had helped me a lot in the last games I played. And i did add some more ramp. Please tell me what you think!

I like the changes!

I would question Oblation's contribution to the deck since an opponent's general can't be tucked.

Is it just a placeholder for Swords to Plowshares?

Karzalar says... #11

Actually, yes it is. Didn't find any at my local gameshop, i won,t have it until next week.

Oops, kinda forgot to add Land Tax (which is already in the deck) in the ramp list. Sorry!

asasinater13 says... #14

my bad, was writing an essay and didn't look through your entire deck at the moment.

asasinater13 says... #15

I would keep Dromoka's Command and remove Condemn for swords to plowshares

April 15, 2015 11:05 a.m.

Karzalar says... #16

What would you remove to keep Dromoka's Command? Also, Swords to Plowshares will be added this friday, when i get it at my shop.

April 15, 2015 9:11 p.m.

Karzalar says... #17

TOok a complete enchantment turn and removed all artifacts from the deck to add some goodies!

Changes will be reflected soon on the list.

April 18, 2015 1:29 p.m.

Karzalar says... #18

Reupdated!

I would try Blind Obedience. Despite the extort reminder text, there are no black symbols in the rules text. It can give you a big tempo advantage and a nice life cushion with the extort ability.

April 20, 2015 11:39 p.m.

Karzalar says... #20

This could indeed be a great addition! But what could i remove for Blind Obedience?

Any ideas?

Daybreak Coronet is the one Aura card to rule them all. I also think that enchantment recursion is an important safety net, so running something like Replenish or Open the Vaults would not be a bad idea.

And then there are tutors. Idyllic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Heliod's Pilgrim, and Academy Rector are all solid ways to ensure you are able to get the enchantments you need when you need them. I also think that you could get a lot of mileage out of some utility lands like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Reflecting Pool, Yavimaya Hollow, and Kor Haven. And if you can test play it, Genesis Wave just may be a hilarious finisher.

As for what I would cut to make room, Ghostblade Eidolon, Eland Umbra, and Krond the Dawn-Clad just don't seem like they pull enough weight. I also think that any of the above tutors may be a better choice over Three Dreams as they are a lot faster and give you the potential to play both the tutor and the enchantment you searched for.

I would take out Archon of Justice honestly.

Karzalar says... #23

Teal_Fox : Thank you for those suggestions! Since i have a Enlightened Tutor and an Heliod's Pilgrim lying around, i'll add them.

Idyllic Tutor is added to the buy list, which will be this friday!

People try to not remove Academy Rector most of the time, i don't know if it could be useful? I can't sacrifice it myself unless i use Beast Within.

Yavimaya Hollow, Reflecting Pool and Kor Haven will be added as soon as i get my hands on them. I'll probably remove two Forest and one Plains...

The only ''problem'' i have with lands like Nykthos is that they empty out my hand way too fast (which is sometimes a good thing) but if i don't have any draw power cards on the board, then i'm back to topdecking, and i can't use all that mana in one card. Unless...

Unless i'm taking Genesis Wave with it, which could be awesome in a Mirari's Wake + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx max mana generation. That would be awesome!

I'll remove the first three you mentionned, but i think i'll keep the Three Wishes. It's seriously awesome to get all the answers I need, like Eldrazi Conscription and Ancestral Mask, or a totem armor aura.

Thank you again for your time and suggestions, and please do not hesitate to comment and suggest anything you feel could be good for this deck to become a beast!

Update will be done Friday (Card hunting day)!

Whoops! I meant Three Dreams, not Three Wishes!

Karzalar says... #25

So, i found out last time i played that this deck has a really hard time with Cyclonic Rift and the like.

I'm thinking about adding something to either make Sigarda have haste, like Concordant Crossroads, since it costs basically nothing to put on the battlefield.

Or, any ideas to counter that one weakness?
