I've been looking for a good combo-y commander for the competitive edge league at my lgs....Looks dirty enough for me. +1

Honestly, as much as I love Muzzio, Arcum Dagsson is generally a better competitive commander. Arcum generally wins faster, more efficiently, and more brutally. because of this, he draws a lot of hate; that's one of the reasons I prefer Muzzio. where Muzzio has an element of chance, Arcum is pure tutor. Where Muzzio costs to activate, which hampers abuse, Arcum is free. Muzzio will draw less hate, sure, but the hate only matters if you aren't already dead via Arcum. For a casual setting, I recommend Muzzio. He is more fun to try to beat, leaves more to chance if you're like me and enjoy variance, and generally leaves interaction possible. For a competitive setting, Arcum is better... WAY better. Thanks for the +1 too

I keep arcum in the deck as an alternate commander, for when the meta gets cutthroat. While similiary based around artifacts they are built a little bit differently. Muzzio wants a great curve, while arum tends to want small artifact creatures that replace themselves. Generally though, they are similiar, so I just put arcum in for the cutthroat games. Just be careful not to get hated out.

I don't even know what would be worth pulling out with Arcum Dagsson's ability besides the Kaldra pieces (Helm of Kaldra, Shield of Kaldra and Sword of Kaldra), Darksteel Forge, Mycosynth Lattice and Nevinyrral's Disk.

Myr Turbine, Rings of Brighthearth, Basalt Monolith, Staff of Domination, Sensei's Divining Top, any number of silver bullets, etc

Silver Bullets? I do have Rings and Top. I'd like to get the Monolith and the Staff.

Silver Bullets are sepcific cards that hose specific stategies. Eg. Grafdiggers cage for the reanimator deck.

I think I'm going to make a non-tribal Thraximundar deck with aggro and control in mind. I want to be more aggressive and powerful than I was before.
Just like how I'm going to start playing Standard once Shadows over Innistrad comes out. I want to be competitive and win more.

Can you check out my Standard deck? It is SOI Rakdos Blood Coven.

Drael: I don't play enough standard anymore to be of much help, but it seems like you could use some combination of Drana, Liberator of Malakirs and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghets in the mainboard. Both are simply powerhouses in terms of stats and abilities.

I don't have them yet. They're kind of expensive for even one card. Thanks for at least checking though. Do you play Tiny Leaders at all?

You could try Crystal Ball, Ponder, Preordain, and Brainstorm as cheap ways to filter you deck.

There's also Scroll Rack to help put things on the top of your deck, from your hand. Especially if you end up drawing a high CMC card.
May 1, 2016 9:12 p.m.
Crystal Ball is a possibility, it's just that top does it better. As for the cantrips, I generally find I have enough top deck manipulation and bombs to do ok without them. Funnily enough Drael, if you look on your Muzzio deck, I actually suggested Scroll Rack to you first a while ago XD. I've been meaning to pick one up, I just never got around to it. This list is also way out of date, so I'll have to manually re-enter it from my paper deck. Thanks for the suggestions though

You're welcome. I haven't talked to you in a while. We've got to do that more. I've got other decks I'm working on that you might be able to help with.
May 1, 2016 10:40 p.m.
i agree, and i might have some for you to help me with too

That sounds good. I'll have to finish the deck(s) first.

Nahiri, the Lithomancer, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death (as Tiny Leaders/EDH), Sen Triplets which is a deck I've had for a while. I took it apart and need to put it back together. I'm almost done doing that. It used to be Sydri, Galvanic Genius.
May 4, 2016 11:59 a.m.
nice! I would play Kemba, kha regent over nahiri for Mono W voltron personally

I've used your deck as inspiration to build my own muzzio, which isn't 100% complete (no crypt or other special artifacts xD) and I'm loving the way it plays. I have already gotten the mycosynth/clock/muzzio combo off with Future Sight and infinite mana in play. I felt dirty and proud at the same time xD thanks for the list! +1

I'm truly flattered. thank you. And i know exactly how you feel. i once drew into rings monolith on t3 naturally, and then hit staff of domination off the first muzzio activation. it's like, on the one hand, poor guy, and on the other hand MUHAHAHAHAHAHA. you are very welcome for the list, and feel free to ask me anything or share any ideas.

Drawing is only really necessary for that one (maybe two) per turn. Normally you want to avoid drawing a lot of cards.
