aekrusty: You were indeed (after myself)! I hope that my comment on your Aurelia Boros Voltron was sufficient :)

You wdre right Daedlus she's boring. Effective but boring. I've diverted my attention to Isperia.

Hello. I also plan to make an Adriana deck, even though she's hated by everyone. But instead of Tribe concepts, I want to focus on +1/+1 manipulation, while utilizing abilities related to thus in Adriana's colors. Any ideas that would help? I plan to use a Sunforger package as well. I just want to prove her worth as a commander.

BMHKain: Hello! :) This version actually doesn't have too many tribal components - I've seen some tribal soldier builds with her that are closer to that description. I'd definitely love to help, but what do you mean by +1/+1 manipulation? If you're looking for counters, that's a little tricky - but if you're more looking to abuse her temporary bonuses the best advice I can give is 1) double strike and 2) extra combat steps. This is the approach I took, and it should maximize the value of her bonuses :)

If you can clarify what you're looking for a little more, I can give you more specific advice :)

@Daealus19876: I actually do want a mild token theme, but I only want it to be secondary. As for +1/+1 elements, think about Mikaeus, the Lunarch for abit. What I'm looking for are cards that can increase a variety of ways while perhaps using Shadows over Innistrad Odric to share all abilities when in a pinch. Even mono white Bolster effects and similar that care for counters are just fine. Hell, even mass stat increase via combat such as Fumiko the Lowblood, and Marton Stromgald are good. Those are major examples of what I mean. Jazal Goldmane even works as a Craterhoof Behemoth for Boros for me.

Should I provide more, or do you get what I am trying to jot down for ideas? Just asking. ;)

Well, do you have any ideas? I have several so far in a forum post...

BMHKain: Hey! Sorry, I've been moving into college and everything's chaotic. You nailed some of the best ones, but Ajani Goldmane buffs your team, Figure of Destiny self-buffs very impressively, Bravado and Betrothed of Fire are good enchantments to exploit large numbers of creatures, Anax and Cymede can pull some weight in heroic-focussed builds, etc. If you want to work with Odric, Lunarch Marshal, I would try to include many creatures that inherently have keywords rather than spells that grant them (because without Odric, the latter aren't very impressive). Hopefully that helps!

@Daedalus19876: It's unfortunate Odric isn't compatible with non-block keywords like Battalion. Odric is rejected. Ajani would be great as a flavor concept with Jazal. I also like the Auras as they make an otherwise boring deck interesting somewhat. It's disappointing that in MAGIC Story, Ajani doesn't want to planeswalk anymore after Elspeth died by THEROS bigger bad, Heliod...

Good luck with College. ;)

I've started running a couple shadow creatures in my list that I've been happy with since they do a great job carrying Sword of Feast and Famine. Soltari Champion essentially gives another melee trigger for the rest of the team, and Soltari Visionary gives me a body that can get rid of annoying enchantments like Ghostly Prison or Mirrari's Wake. Also, your Dolmen Gate should probably be a Frontline Medic since it basically fills the same role and gives you a body to attack with.

No love for Odric, Lunarch Marshal? He gives all your creatures evasion. :)

BMHKain says... #11

@jchudz: Shadow has officially intrigued me...Also, perhaps I'll make my deck creature heavy now, since I'll just simply tap everything for a physical assault anyway...

@Hipparchos: Odric is rejected as it doesn't do anything besides Core Set Abilities, and I'd like to see a great variety of compatible keywords someday; maybe as an emblem for a Planeswalker...

Oh well...

You cannot have Hanweir Militia Captain in this deck. It's color identity is White/Black. Same reason why you cannot have Westvale Abbey The flip side.

jchudz says... #13

Actually, the flip side of Hanweir Militia Captain  Flip is white. Look at the color circle on the back by the creature type.

Hipparchos says... #14

BrightKingdom sry you're wrong. But for example Civilized Scholar  Flip's colour identity is mana symbol umana symbol r.

Sorry, but I decided to cancel development of an Adriana deck, and I deleted my Superfriends Deck. Now I ask: What do you think is a better idea: Ruhan of the Fomori Voltron, or Yasova Dragonclaw creature theft? I'm seriously torn...

September 2, 2016 10:54 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #16

BMHKain: My vote goes to Yasova Dragonclaw - not only do I think she's in better colors, but Ruhan voltron is...weird because you can't easily direct concerted damage where you want to. I know a few good Yasova decks if you want inspiration.

September 2, 2016 11:43 a.m.

BMHKain says... #17

@Daedalus19876: Thanks. At least you're okay with my decision. I even had to cancel any further update of my Sliver Queen Superfriends deck as a result, just to start over...

BTW: You stated you know some good decks of said Commander. I dun suppose you could send some ideas to me for said inspiration? I don't wish to further troll this comment section...

September 2, 2016 12:26 p.m.

BMHKain says... #18

@Daedalus19876: Well... Any examples to show? Not trying to be impatient...

September 2, 2016 3:57 p.m.

BMHKain says... #19

@Daedalus19876: Actually, could you post some links of Yasova decks for inspiration please?

Daedalus19876 says... #20

BMHKain: Jeez, man, slow down. Three comments in ten hours? I'm in college; I don't have as much free time as I'd like right now.

But anyway, here are the decks I've seen that I recommend on this site. I can't find the one in particular I was looking for, but...

@Daedalus19876: My bad. I remember that you're in college; I just have a bad patience problem sometimes, and I apologize for that.

With that said...

I'll check out the three lists when I get the chance. Thanks!

September 3, 2016 2:05 p.m.

Awesome! +1

You have a very tight and well tuned list, the only suggestion I would give is maybe Steel Hellkite and Gratuitous Violence to add more punch.

September 12, 2016 4:41 p.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #24

Shakespeare314: Thanks! :) Do you mind clicking the +1 button again? I think that the website glitched, because your +1 didn't show up :(

Enral: Steel Hellkite would be hilarious here, since I get to hit multiple players per turn with him (because of Relentless Assault etc). I think I'll have to pass on Gratuitous Violence for now, though.

You're welcome to leave a +1 if you like the deck! :)

You know what I need to add to this deck? Aligned Hedron Network. It removes almost nothing of mine and wipes away all possible large blockers. Since my tokens are small but become bigger during combat, it's perfect if I cast it during my first main. In 5-player matches, all of my 1/1s become large enough that they will always survive combat.
