Öluff, Hoarder's Mentor

Legendary Creature - Goblin Shaman

Whenever a player casts their Commander, add and draw a card.

,: Put target legendary artifact in its owner's Command Zone. It becomes that player's Commander for the rest of the game (in addition to their other Commanders).

1/1

Make another card that interacts with the Command Zone in a novel way without breaking the game :D

Andramalech can relate 100%... back in the day, you could show up with a rogue build at least to FNM and do some serious damage / cause some head-scratching jaw drops, but those days are over... my greatest feat up until this day has been winning a 70+ player tourney in Germany with my Slivers (whoot!?) homebrew during Eldrazi Winter (!), if you remember that time period. And I hate the fact that newer players will never have that kind of experience.

It's cool to play with friends and house rules, but as a "Johnny" deck brewer, the real delight is to see a random stranger's desperation at a sanctioned event when they get obliterated by the utter nonsense you brought to compete with xD

I think if I ever come back to MTG, I'll be looking to get into Pauper since to me it looks the least "ruined" and, at the very least, the opportunity cost / buy-in is on the low $ side.

Andramalech thanks for the kind words! This deck is certainly something :D (and I'm not even sure this is the best version of it, I got like 5 other private variants competing for #1)

Unfortunately, like most my other decks, public and private, I have not updated it in years because for one reason or another the inspiration has gone away. It is not the meta breaker you think it is, sadly, even when I intended building one when I first threw this together.

The sad truth about Modern atm is that people play ETB effects as much as possible, since there's little way to stop that, and pile up as many value fx as possible, which has always been true, but in recent years WotC has pushed over the top with new cards to the point where other strats can't really compete.

The era of "weird" decks is long gone. If your glass cannon brew can't survive a free Solitude you better leave that at home. Imagine your opponent starts with a handicap by giving you a free Emrakul and you can start first... pretty OP, right? But oh, wait, they can Solitude it before they even take their first turn, wow! What a brilliant move.

That's the reason I haven't been posting decks for a long time now.

Either way I DO appreciate you hanging out and looking at the once glorious achievements :D the only thing I can hope for is to inspire other people with OG outside-the-box brews.

Anything you could do with a snow subtheme? Just a random thought, since you could base that on lands mostly and that would not necessarily interfere with what you're already doing.
