Commander Deck Help forum

This deck uses Rionya, Fire Danceras the commander to throw spells and make copies. I am aiming for this deck to be a mix of spell slinging and midrange. I am very unsure of the state of the deck and how it can be improved to better it’s synergies. Do I have enough of the right instants and sorcery to make this type of deck work. Same goes for the creatures. I want this to be slightly more competitive, maybe a high level casual/ low level competitive, if that makes sense.
enpc I can definitely see the benefit of Siege-Gang Commander especially when he gets copied. Also Zada, Hedron Grinder nice pick as well. I am curious how he will play out. Do you think I need more targeting spells to make him more effective?

The biggest power with Zada is that she lets you turn cantrips into serious card advantage. however with her not as your commander, there's a fine line you need to balance. That being said, these do help you get your storm count up.

I’d look for creatures that have solid etb or dies effects. As noted siege gang let’s you keep the tokens, but you could use it other ways too. Abbot of Keral keep - feed your storm Ghitu slinger - damage Ember-fist zubera may go exponential on damage when they all die (not sure about that one) I’m sure you can find other cool effects that scale up really well

Apologies for not collecting my thoughts. Since Rionya triggers when you move to combat, I’d look into cards that give you an additional combat phase. I think if you copied Harmonic the first time around, your second combat phase gets super shenanigans-y.

Comet Storm seems like a good upgrade over Fireball. As for creatures, why not use stuff like Myr Battlesphere or Siege-Gang Commander since the token tokens will persist. Depending on the amount of single target buff spells oyu want to run, Zada, Hedron Grinder can also be a good option for more a) mass buffing, and b) super cantrip value.
