Yeah haha he is really strong, he is rotating out of standard come next september or october, so he will drop a little but not worth waiting for him to decrease in price.

Got rid of the Auras and replaced them with direct damagers like Blaze and Banefire . Also added Chain Reaction .

Love the deck because Izzy is one of my favorite color combos. I think Keranos is one of the few commanders (besides upkeeps) that gets true value from extra turns, because that could mean 2 turns equals 4 draws or 2 lightning bolts. Then of course with the Strionic Resonator would double the shenanigans. I would recommend the red leyline (can't remember it's name) because it makes damage not preventable. Stormcaller of Keranos is kind of eh, Thassa, God of the Sea would be better even if not a body.

Rakkhive, good call on Stormcaller of Keranos . Seems like a no-brainer considering they cost the same. And I'm definitely adding Leyline of Punishment . Thanks for the help!

Also, Shattering Pulse is great for reusable artifact destruction. Index is eh try Brainstorm or Mystic Speculation instead. Also Forbid is ight.

needs more ramp. Anything that's 3 mana for one up is good in edh. Darksteel Ingot Manalith Izzet Signet etc... Burnished Hart or Gilded Lotus are also popular.

Foxhound438 I added a few of your suggestions. The playtest function on this site seems a little unreliable when it comes to measuring the availability of mana. I find myself either deprived of all my mana, or with excessive quantities. Thanks for the help!

Anytime. Also that's card games for you, build the best deck ever and draw none of the right cards.

TBH I think there is something wrong with the shuffle algorithm it uses. I think it needs more entropy.

You should take advantage of your commander more by setting up draws. Soothsaying is the best option for it.

ooo, Soothsaying will definitely go into my Maelstrom Wanderer deck... Thanks for the tip!

supercaptainpow for a paltry 1 mana it's an efficient burn card. Frees up my mana for copying and other fun things. I like it.

Put Tidal Force in my Maybeboard and added Flame Wave as a late-game finisher.

Mizzium Mortars is a bit more efficient, minus hitting the player, but to be honest for 6 or 7 mana you're either looking for a lot on a player or a boardwipe.

Red, for the most part doesn't have the best board wipes unless built around them. Since you don't have many creatures and your commander is invincible then you can profit the most from them. Bonfire of the Damned , Inferno , Alpha Brawl , Breath of Darigaaz , Flamebreak , Sudden Demise , also you could just use one of the chandras. Chandra Nalaar , and Chandra, the Firebrand are good options for this.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to maintain the flavor of the deck as much as possible. Favoring lightning stuff over flame stuff. Trying to copy and double and all that.
April 28, 2014 10:32 a.m.
Electrolyze then for some cantrips lol. Kumano, Master Yamabushi for more flavors. Parallectric Feedback for some punishment and flavor. I'm having problems finding flavorful board wipes: so far Thunder Dragon , Chain Reaction , Rolling Thunder and maybe Street Spasm
Also with your theme on taking extra turns you might be able to pull of duo hondens. Honden of Seeing Winds and Honden of Infinite Rage

I would really reccomend Mana Severance its almost an instant win, depending on group size.

GrandKeenChieftain yowza! I'm not crazy about the art but it has great synergy with my commander. Thanks for the recommendation.
