UG, Another Vial Smasher Deck Conquest Version!

Commander / EDH* Evoke Miracle Partner UBRG

Hi all, here I am with a brew to be judged and a lengthy (but hopefully enjoyable) intro to read. So far I've only made a Conquest version of this which is why it doesn't include some EDH staples we would normally see and also why we don't include the absolutely broken UG commander/legendary creatures like Thrasios or Kinnan. If you aren't aware of what conquest is I'll refer you to their Discord server or FB page with more information (they are a very welcoming bunch for any power level, hence my trash builds), but in short it's an 80 card 30 life Commander like format with different bans to promote variety that the creators thought was lacking from the Commander meta.

With that out of the way, I present to you; UG(h), Another Vial Smasher deck

Like any Vial Smasher deck, the commander is the primary win con. Cast Big Spells to proc damage and have dumb ass spells on the stack, yada yada, but the real way we take advantage of Vial Smasher is with some older mechanics for a janky time.

Enter our old friends, Evoke and Miracle! There are tons of creatures with great evoke abilities when you consider the added bonus of flaming someone's face for their cmc! Ingot chewer and Muldrifter hold a special place in my heart as neat spells with the bonus of being etb creatures to abuse later, but I'm very excited to use the slightly more recent Miracle mechanic for the first time. Obviously we include the Timewalk with 7 Damage stapled onto it, but we also get to see some of the other meme-y miracles make an appearance like Thunderous Wrath. 11 damage for one red? SOLD.

Knowing that miracles don't happen every day (much less at your command) we look to include some ways to suggest they happen at more convenient times. Sylvan library is a must because of the obvious draw two extra cards written on it and control of the top, Scroll Rack to fix any mistakes/shuffle away unwanted cards (with the copious number of ramp spells) and Sensei's Top for some repeatable foresight and tricky Miracle triggers. Put this together with non-spell card draw to preserve our first spell for turn slot and we can make Miracles happen baybee!

If we happen to not be blessed by miracles, or our evoke creatures aren't performing well enough, we also have some sneaky tech to get in some of our big spells cheaper. We got our usual red creatures that let you cast free spells (Jhiora, of the Ghitu, Wildfire Devils /Wildfire Eternals, Etali, Primal Storm) and I've included the cutest 2cmc creature from a recent set, Dream Devourer, that lets us Foretell non-land cards for ease of casting later.

All in all, a big pile of jank piloted by a flaming trash goblin berserker just trying to live their dream of flaming Big Spells at any time. Let me know what you think!

I just included some extra cards that generally increase consistency and mana. Nothing much https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ug-another-vial-smasher-deck-commander-version/
