Rhys the Redeemed: Power in Numbers

Commander / EDH Enchantment GW (Selesnya)

Forkbeard


Well well well...if it isn't the redeemed king of the token swarm himself, Mr. Rhys. There's no shortage of fantastic cards to bolster the token army 'go wide' strategy & over the years I've slowly honed the deck to include most of the crucial elements. That said, I'm still experimenting and tinkering with this deck all the time - it feels like an eternal work in progress. Definitely a fun deck to play and this particular Rhys brew really shines in 1v1 matches.

Giving this deck a significant overhaul to see if I can smooth this brew out a little. I'm running a bunch of enchantments here so I'm going to add a few options to take advantage of that - mainly a wee enchantress suite for additional card draw options. I'm also swapping out a few win-more cards in favour of theme, synergy & general efficiency.

In:

  • Argothian Enchantress - more card draw
  • Bala Ged Sanctuary  Flip - early game land or a mid/late game recursion option
  • Carpet of Flowers - there's a chance there's an island in play in most 4 player FFA matches, probably a few - worst case this acts as a cantrip with enchantress effects, best case this gives me a bunch of mana too
  • Dawn of a New Age - more card draw
  • Farewell - another flexible wipe option
  • Galadhrim Ambush - another Arachnogenesis effect, very cool
  • Minas Tirith - another card draw option utility land
  • Replenish - the mightiest of the enchantment recursion spells
  • Sanctum Weaver - a relevant enchantress mana dork
  • Serra's Sanctum - big mana potential in here
  • Setessan Champion - more card draw
  • Sylvan Library - more card draw
  • Sythis, Harvest's Hand - more card draw
  • Yavimaya Hollow - handy utility land in a pinch
  • Out:

  • Avacyn, Angel of Hope - win-more and not necessarily on theme or needed
  • Cultivate - a classic ramp card, but I'm making way for slightly cheaper and more thematic ramp
  • Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - certainly a decent hoser card, but also just an expensive, glorified anthem
  • 1x Forest - making room for a mega land
  • Gavony Township - this is just a pretty trash and unneeded utility land
  • Kodama's Reach - a classic ramp card, but I'm making way for slightly cheaper and more thematic ramp
  • Natural Order - very few worthy creatures to choose from in here + I'm still running Worldly Tutor + Eladamri's Call for when it's time to summon Craterwin
  • Pir's Whim - Gaea's Cradle tutor is cool, but I think my ramp suite is good enough without this
  • 2x Plains - making room for mega lands
  • Primal Vigor - I'm running enough token/counter doubling effects already + I don't want to be potentially helping my opponents
  • Rite of Harmony - making room for superior, repeatable draw effects
  • Sterling Grove - decent enchantment protection + tutor, but also just not super needed here
  • Tooth and Nail - expensive mega tutor, but I'm removing some of the bigger win-more-ish creature targets anyway
