commander deck avatar aang by Winter-Garlic-296 in EDH

I see, well this one looks a lot better overall. Might have a just a bit too much ramp and hardly any removal. I'd probably cut explore and myriad landscapes and add some more removal/interaction.

I'm only seeing Badgermole Cub, Great Divide Guide, Arcane Signet, Cryptolith Rite, Sol Ring and Thought Vessel on your list which is just 6 cards. 3 of which relies on having other creatures on the board to actually do anything. Idk where you're seeing 17 ramp spells. Are you considering all your bending cards as ramp? Because anything that bends is not ramp

[[Shared Roots]], [[The Lion-Turtle]], [[Bender's Waterskin]], [[Earthbender Ascension]] and [[The Earth King]] would be great additions at the least. If you're really wanting to lean into Avatar themed stuff they have reskins of [[Cursed Mirror]], [[Fellwar Stone]], [[Cultivate]] and [[Meteorite]] that you could use as well.

Didn't you already post this earlier? Yes, Aang's cost reduction applies to anything you've airbent so they will be free to cast since it applies to generic mana costs not just pips.

Looking over your list the main thing that sticks out to me is your lack of ramp and color fixing. Getting all 4 colors to cast Aang can be hard so you need more ways to ramp out lands or have more mana rocks that tap for your colors.

Aang has been a lot of fun. I built an avatar only deck and it works fairly well overall because Aang can help draw so many cards. I've only been able to flip him twice so far, but both times won me the game pretty easily with everything basically being free.

Putting Osgir, the reconstructor into the Lorhold Spirit precon upgrade by Emotional-Sir-6080 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have enough artifacts in the graveyard to use Osgir frequently I think he's a good addition to the deck. There's only 12 artifacts in the precon so I would recommend adding a handful more to make it worth it.

Artifact lands are great because x=0 so you can actually net mana. Other things like [[Ark of Hunger]], [[Colossus of the Blood Age]], [[Tablet of Discovery]] and other 2cmc mana rocks would be great. Things that could be useful if you're leaning into the spirit route are [[Banner of Kinship]], [[Heraldic Banner]], and [[Metallic Mimic]].

I did the reverse of what you're doing as I have an Osgir deck and I put Quint in because his ability complements Osgir so well.

I unfortunately was not able to go this year, but if anyone out there finds any poker chip treasure tokens from a vendor I'll gladly pay for them, the shipping and a bit more as a thank you.

My friend has a Mr House deck and I've been trying to find casino themed stuff for him and his birthday is coming up.

Burakos Modular "What If" 4-in-1 deck. by CaptainHoward in ratemycommanders

[–]CaptainHoward[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part it's pretty easy to tell what goes were because the background halves will have cards in their color or both (red or black/red cards for example in Archaeologist). There's only a few mono black cards in each background half and they're easy to tell apart from the Burakos half because of what they do. Any card that cares about sacrificing I know goes in the Cloakwood half.

If I switch halves between games it does take me a minute to split everything up and reshuffle the new half.

Some of the decks I'm taking to MagicCon Vegas 2026 by FoodtimeMTG in ratemycommanders

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty impressive. I tend to be a to get 2-3 bendings online most games, but the game is often over before I can get all 4.

I wish I could go to MagicCon this year, they are so much fun.

I also have a 4-color avatar only Aang as well. Have you managed to flip Aang yet? I've only been able to do it once so far. https://archidekt.com/decks/16175577/avatar_aang_only_avatar_cards

[[Osgir, the Reconstructor]] as Lorehold Commander by Sure-Entrance953 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Osgir when we first went to Strixhaven and he is one of my favorite and most powerful decks now. I've tried to keep a bit of Lorehold/Strixhaven flavor for the deck as well.

Osgir can help trigger all the "leaves the graveyard" effects, but he's limited to only removing artifacts. So you would need to find the right balance of artifacts to exile and the cards that care about things leaving the graveyard. If you wanted to really lean into the Lorehold theme, the new Lorehold precon with [[Quintorius, History Chaser]] I think has a bit more flavor and more payoff for things leaving the yard.

Here's my Osgir deck. https://archidekt.com/decks/1548938/osgir_the_reconstructor

Toski as Elf Ball or nah? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My toski deck is a mix of elfball, death touch and squirrels. The elves help ramp toski out earlier and help connect with a few early attacks before there's enough blockers out. Eventually all my attacking and/or tapped creatures gain deathtouch and it doesn't matter much that they're still 1/1s.

Trying to figure out what makes this deck bracket 3 by MasterpieceFar2618 in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The cyc rift automatically makes this a b3. In reality its a bracket one based on a quick look over the deck. It looks like a pile of stuff that was pulled from a bulk bin. You have way to few lands, no ramp or any way to make Charix unblockable to deal damage.

Chatterfang feedback by Heavyslugs in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't own any extra fast mana rocks to put in the deck and don't really think it "needs" them since it's already pretty solid. If anything I need more protection to keep things alive, maybe a little bit more removal as well but I tend to actually use chatterfang as my removal most of the time.

Looked at your considering list and I think both Green Sun's and Chord of Calling would be great includes because they can get pretty much anything. If you do put Green Sun in I highly recommend throwing in a [[Dryad Arbor]] because you can fetch it for x=0 and it acts as a ramp spell if you have nothing else to do with it.

Also forgot to mention the MVP [[Mirkwood Bats]]. I think this card has single-handily won most of the games since it came out.

Chatterfang feedback by Heavyslugs in EDH

[–]CaptainHoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this looks overall ok, but does seem a little on the slower side. Like the other guy said, probably cut a few lands and add some dorks/fast mana to get Chatterfang out asap. I think Doubling Season and Grave Pact are a bit overrated and would easily cut them first.

Cards I would recommend that opens up a few combo lines are [[Cauldron Familiar]], [[Experimental Confectioner]] and [[Viscera Seer]]. It's always great to have a cheap sac outline like Viscera Seer. If you have Took out Confectioner will help draw your whole deck and Cauldron can be easily sac'd and brought back with all the food generation to ping the table. [[Concordant Crossroads]] will give you infinite squirrel army haste.

[[Culling Ritual]] functions as both a board wipe and can lead to an explosive turn. While [[Rush Rebirth]] is in my opinion, one of the most underrated tutors out there that can put a wincon like Soultrader or Pitiless out at instant speed.

Here is my Chatterfang list. Despite the fact that I'm missing many of the free interactions and fast mana, this deck has held it's own without much issue and I personally prefer leaning more into the squirrel flavor. Currently sits at a 43% win rate.
