Focusing on redundancy —April 9, 2018
Anointed Procession, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Doubling Season, Ashnod's Altar, Ivy Lane Denizen.
Still trying to track down Mana Echoes, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Mirage Mirror would be a good one to copy all those doubling effects essentially tripling them for 2 extra mana. Also, you could consider Doubling Season cheaper alternative: Primal Vigor.

Primal Vigor is great, I didn't realize that was a card.

Have you considered also using Anointed Procession too? It's just a white Parallel Lives and gives you another way to have that affect.

Where are your altars and mana echoes if you want as many combos as possible. Check out my list for ideas. It also has the expensive Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite + Living Plane interaction if you are up to it.

After some great suggestions for cards and lines of play I hadn't thought of. I'm adding Anointed Procession, Mana Echoes, Primal Vigor, Living Plane, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Ashnod's Altar, and Phyrexian Altar, for now they will go on the aquire board and as I get the cards I will update the list.

Kaleo42 What is your opinion on Stranglehold I currently run one in a mono red deck alongside Blood Moon I have considered switching the Stranglehold over to this deck. The Blood Moon I feel would hurt me just as much as it hurts my opponents.

Blood Moon is good if it actually hurts your meta as you can easily play around it. My meta leans more heavily on artifacts and has some badass mono color decks considering we play almost strickly cEDH. Which brings me to Stranglehold. I know its a good card but the fact of the matter is that I dont get to play enough turns for it to matter. Aven Mindcensor is more easily tutored, has flash, and plays nice with Sun Titan. Often times I will turn one or two slam Aven in response to their turn one fetch and turn the storm deck off for a good three turns. I also dont have to contend with extra turns as my Tactical Beauty is the only turns deck in our meta. Basically Stranglehold is really good but you have to ask is it what you need when you need it.

My meta is primarily, Karador, Ghost Chieftain reanimator, Brago, King Eternal stax, Riku of Two Reflections combo, and Meren of Clan Nel Toth hulk combo. I'm the last one to the party as far as trying to build a more cEDH deck. So I'm just trying to become competitive in my meta.

Depending on their lists Blood Moon would be a good choice. Magus of the Moon may be better as it can be sac'd to your own combos or picked off easier by your own deck. Also in that meta I would 100% run Stranglehold.

Hey @nch0r, I saw your Marath list when I was posting a new deck on the add deck thread. Marath is a flexible and powerful commander and yet frequently overlooked when it comes to cEDH. I've been a Marath player for some time now and have played with it in many different ways, from stax/hatebears to control to combo. Of all strategies for multiplayer EDH, the best one has always been dedicated combo (for 1v1, control is the best). I've put together a dedicated combo list here:

If you want to make your list as competitive as possible, that might be a good starting point. Play fire with fire and let your opponents try to stop you.

Doubling Season is in the mail once it comes in I will update the list.
