Angrath's Rampage or Gravelighter?

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 5, 2024, 9:58 a.m. by DemonDragonJ

I have a copy of Wrecking Ball in my Thraximundar EDH deck, but I am planning to replace it with either Angrath's Rampage or Gravelighter, so I would like to ask for advice on which card other users here prefer.

What does everyone else say about this? Which card is the better replacement for Wrecking Ball?

Angrath's rampage is a sorcery speed that has good utility at a cheap cost but doesn't target what you want removed. It works best when they only have 1 of something.

Gravelighter synergizes better since everyone sacs something (while you probably sac gravelighter). However, I don't like the draw card or sac clause. This could be easily manipulated by an opponent with removal or a sac outlet.

Out of the two, I'd go with the latter but would choose Plaguecrafter or one of the other half dozen variants to gravelighter.

RiotRunner789, I actually already have Plaguecrafter in that deck, so I agree that Gravelighter would be nice, for the redundancy.

Gravelighter seems a good choice then. I still don't like the lack of being able to choose the mode concretely but worst case it replaces itself. It also doesn't hurt it has flying and can be a good chump blocker for a big dumb dragon.
