Thrasios and Kraum - Temur Topdecks

Commander / EDH

deafhobbit


Low power. Deck manipulation + playing cards from the top of my deck. Medium landfall theme, and also a bit of ETB reuse. A Rube Goldberg machine that doesn't really do anything useful, but makes the whole table jealous of how much Value it's generating.

May switch back to Intet, but for now I'm trying Thrasios + Kraum. Intet is fun, but we just don't have good payoffs. Thrasios gives us a place to dump excess mana, and helps dig if the engine isn't running. Kraum is just the least bad Partner that adds red. Ludivec is terrible and we don't want to devote slots to supporting Tana. Kraum at least can block small fliers, snipe Planeswalkers, draw a few cards, and let us have Commander Damage as a (barely) viable backup plan. Going back to Intet is easy - cut Kraum, and move Thrasios to the 99.

The deck doesn't really have any good ways to win. No combos or huge overwhelming plays, just lots of card advantage and medium sized dudes. It can grind, and generate lots of tokens off of landfall triggers, but it can't go from 0 to threatening a win in one turn. That's fine, since the deck is intended to play at lower power tables.

Likewise, the deck plays very few ways to interact with our opponents. It has a few here any there, but we can't count on stopping anyone from doing anything. Again, this is intentional, the desk isn't aimed at winning those sort of games.
