Kadena "Surprise tool for later" decklist help
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on April 4, 2023, 10:06 p.m. by Max_Hammer
I'm upgrading a Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer precon all about that one Micky Mouse gif where he goes, "And this is a surprise tool for later!" I want to know all of the fun mechanics where I can hide away (Hey... Wait a minute) a card and use it as a tool for later.
I've also chosen to lean a bit more into saccing creatures for draw or chump blocking them and putting them back into my hand, for a second use of their morph if need be.
I'd also like to note that my wincon is playing control (with hidden cards basically acting as loaded guns under the table), until I get one of my wincons out to storm the table. I have Vraska, Golgari Queen, Vraska the Unseen, Biomass Mutation, and Overwhelming Stampede in here alreay. I simply adore all Vraskas and Stampede/Mutation can usually turn my army of 2/2s into something lethal. And I know these aren't super optimal but again it's a precon upgrade, so do keep that in mind.
Of course we have morph and manifest, as well as foretell and hideaway (but only in the form of Watcher for Tomorrow (which I thought of whilst writing this), but are there any others?
Any suggestions for spicy stealthy mechanics, stronger/more consistent wincons (that aren't infinite combos, since this is casual), or improvements to the deck in general would be greatly appreciated as well. I've made some edits already but don't worry about suggesting something I've already seen.
