Looks fairly solid. I'm building a Marath deck myself and since he's so new, I don't really have any good advice yet. But you should know that Marath's burn ability doesn't count as commander damage.

Sorry for the double post, but definitely consider [Cathar's Crusade], [Mana Echoes], [Parallel Lives], [Stranglehold], and [Martyr's Bond]. The first three make Marath even more crazy, and the last two are just really really good.

Looks like you're right on the commander damage part. Didn't realize it had to be combat damage. Either way, it doesn't make this any less viable. (I also have no clue where my last comment was so I'll quote it here just in case:

Yes it does, it specifically states that Marath deals the damage.

Also, Parallel Lives doubles tokens, so that would literally only apply to Assemble the Legion and Marath's token ability. Not much synergy anywhere else I'm afriad, it's going to be hard to justify that inclusion.

As for your suggestions. I really like Cathars' Crusade , I forgot it existed. Mana Echoes is considerable. The last two are really good, but I'm still not sure about them. Martyr's Bond feels like a white Grave Pact , and I like that a lot about it, but it's mana cost is huge :/ Stranglehold is good, but I think I'd rather run Aven Mindcensor for that effect.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hundred-Handed One : When this guy goes monstrous, he becomes the ultimate blocker. Now when I have Bow of Nylea out on the field, he becomes fucking crazy. Killing all 100 creatures he touches.

Doesn't really work that way.

First the bow only provides deathtouch to attacking creatures you control, so when you block there's no deathtouch, seconde you actually have to deal at least 1 damage to kill the creature, so at the very best, if he had deathtouch, you would kill 6 creatures, considering only his base monstrous power.

Why is Mana Echoes , Warstorm Surge , and Food Chain not in here? Having one elemental or beast on the field says I infinitely cast Marath and kill you all with the Warstorm. If you have a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher deck as well, he only needs the Food Chain to be broken. They may have overlooked that card when they made the new generals in green with those effects.

@Phyxius: I never took that into consideration. At least now I can switch him out for something better, considering that's the only reason I could justify him. Thank you.

@firerunner36: I think I see the combo, but can you explain it a little better? I get how it works with Prossh, now with Marath, bringing in Mana Echoes and Surge, can you explain to me how that would work?

Wait I think I might have made a mistake and it only works with Prossh (still would put warstorm in both) I'm a bit tired so you'll have to forgive me for any mistakes. How id thought was the echoes would be there if you made a beast or an elemental drop marath giving you one mana, and food chain would get you the rest, forgot that it didn't work like maraths ability does. So you'd need a infinite filterable mana combo for it to work, say with Basalt Monolith , Rings of Brighthearth , and Orochi Leafcaller to keep playing him and dealing damage with his ability, then having him enter to shoot with the Warstorm Surge .

Ah, yeah I thought I was seeing it wrong. Lol it's fine. I clearly made some mistakes on this deck too. Anyway, Warstorm Surge seems pretty fun, I might just need to get one in here.

The precon came with one I thought?

Yeah, but by "get one in here" I mean make room in the final decklist lol

Elvish Mystic /Llanowar Elves , Into the Wilds , or Forced Adaptation are what id suggest.

If anything, Adaptation would be the first to go, hands down.

Cathars' Crusade - If you have this and Marath out, it makes for a sweet mana sink. Just pay 1, remove a counter, make a 1/1 creature, put a counter on everything, then repeat.

I never even considered that. Alright, now he's definitely coming in.

Yeah, I got stuck with Marath when my playgroup decided to split a set of the new decks. It's very fun to play with (you may want to bring back Contested Cliffs , its an all-star in games. Marath gets big quick and you can just kill whatever you dislike with him.), but obviously I wanted to add stuff. I had one sitting in my binder and figured, hey, why not?

Honestly, I don't like Marath that much compared to, say, Prossh, Jeleva, or Derevi (Bird wizard is my favorite), but I really wanted to use Marath cause I didn't want it to see no love.

Contested Cliffs seemed nice on paper but I felt it wasn't going to shine as well as Wizards thought it would. Is it really that useful?

Yeah, it was really good for me. With the ability to basically sacrifice Marath for him to ETB with more counters, he can get big quick. With the amount of ramp in the deck, he will almost always be bigger than the curve, allowing him to kill basically anything that looks problematic. Plus, you could probably go for at least one colorless-producing land, most of the deck isn't very mana-intensive.

2 colorless, sorry. Forgot about the High Market

Possibly. It's definitely not a bad idea.

Now, does Strionic Resonator actually work with Marath? Or is his ETB not a triggered ability? It's worded differently than say, Thragtusk .

It does not work. Triggered abilities have to say "when" or "whenever".

It reads "Marath enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters equal to the amount of mana spent to cast it"

Did you mean doesn't?

Primal Command can't target creatures

Fffffff----

I guess trying to come up with a decklist at 6am was a bad idea. At least it's still not bad to have.
