Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Conquering Manticore combos with Kiki-Jiki because it only gains control of and untaps a creature an opponent controls. JUDGE!

@DaveyDAKFAE 3 года назад

You'd love my Magda deck then! It's got three flex slots to swap out to power up or down the playstyle, either tutoring an infinite combo (4 mana and ten treasures instantly wins), some stax pieces, collosus hammer + whispersilk cloak, or just some beefy dragon beaters. No matter which I use, it's so different than typical monored

@jonlangthorne7924 3 года назад

@@DaveyDAKFAE I was so on board until you said infinite combo. My playgroup really hates them, if you go infinite or near infinite to win it’s an instant loss and it goes to the next players turn.

@@DaveyDAKFAE I did build a treasure based deck recently from Aliki, Line Swinger and Malcolm the blue pirate.

Some other considerations: coveted jewel, ichor wellspring, liquidmetal coating, mycosynth lattice, vandalblast, goblin welder, goblin engineer, rings of brighthearth.

@eliaskrebs9444 3 года назад

Since you asked for recommendations on deck techs to do in the future, and to my eyes it's been a while since you reviewed a miserable Sultai pile - may I offer you my Damia, Sage of Stone build of an "extra turns" themed Commander deck? Decklist on request, but it has an affordable core with an astonishingly cheap mana base, a fair number of key pieces that cost only a couple dollars, and a truly sky-high potential for upgrades. With a reasonable ramp package, some mild infinite combos, and a lovely Villainous Wealth closer, the true joy of running this deck is watching your opponents realize the rest of the game is truly going to be solitaire. Nothing compares to a turn-five Emergent Ultimatum seeking Beacon of Tomorrows, Nexus of Fate and Omniscience, with a well-protected Damia already on board letting your playgroup know it's going to be a very, very long night.

@caladbolg777 3 года назад

When I first built the deck I had Diaochan in there and would switch commanders often depending on how I felt that day. Eventually she got cut because I focused it more on Starke and because Starke’s ability is much easier to manage (it also hits artifacts where Diaochan is only creatures)

@mikeheximer7638 3 года назад

Great video, so well put together and delivered, music, tonal inflection and the suit. Deck appeals to the dark or more appropriately red side of me, appreciate the synergy of it, definitely greater than the sum of it’ pieces. Reminds me a bit of a Jaya Ballard control list I considered. Far to much for my playgroups right now but will probably look to pick up some of those pieces I don’t have in my collection just in case the right time comes up. I have been enjoying brewing and playing with many of the uncommon commanders that have come out in the past year or so.

@@caladbolg777 sorry sir, I do not tend to post my decklists anywhere just due to the fact that I don't have the time and patience for it. I would say that our lists are very similar but I lean hard into the threaten effects and sac outlets so I can gain some benefit from the creatures stolen after an attack. Some of my major deviations, I would say, are the inclusion of deserts for some of the land slots, cold storage and illusionist's bracers for more craziness. I think I run a few less creatures as well but I run Thermopod, Goldspan dragon and Neheb, the eternal to generate large sums of mana and back it up with things like aggravated assault, braid of fire and brand of ill omen to frustrate my opponents.

Act of Agression - 3 Generic and 2 Phyrexian red mana - Gain control of target creature until end of turn. Untap that creature.

@caladbolg777 3 года назад

In earlier iterations I had liquimetal coating and hoard-smelter dragon to blow up and permanent for 3R. I think I used Act of Agression very early on in the deck’s life but found there’s no need to pay for something that expensive when there are tons of cheaper cards with the same effect.

If you want another evil deck with a weak looking commander, have you considered Discard Sygg, River Cutthroat? What appears to be a mild mannered merfolk tribal or upgraded sneak attack precon is a powerful stax deck that wins by sending people to hell(bent) and burning them out! There are a ton of ways to make people discard and burn them while it happens, so I'll just list my two fav cards from the deck. "Painful Quandry" is a powerful stax card that will quickly kill your opponents while letting you draw a ton of cards with Sygg. "Breathstealer's Crypt" is the other really powerful one which will get you a ton of draws with Sygg while giving you perfect information about each player's draws. (Also I do not actually spring this on strangers! I only play it in moderately high level groups where playstyles like stax and MLD is allowed!)
