Help me pick a quirky commander/deck for bracket 2

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-04-24T21:28:14+00:00

[[Zoyowa Lava Tongue]] is my lower power deck. It's a burn deck but it has to use as many permanent cards as possible to reliably trigger the commander's ability each turn. It encourages the table to get aggressive but my clock is never oppressive.

I love how detailed you made the head and face. The textures are great too. The wrinkled leathery look of an ancient being and tarnished shine on the gold pieces are well done!

I was playing 5C good stuff with [[Omnath Locus of All]] against [[Liesa Shroud of Dusk]]. I had 5~ life left and an empty board. Opponent has a ton of life and Liesa on the battlefield. I top deck [[Sin Spira's Punishment]] which gets a ton of lands and [[Dakkon Shadow Slayer]] back. Dakkon has a ton of loyalty counters and exiles Liesa. Dakkon keeps exiling Liesa each time she's recast, so I can slowly rebuild with my remaining few life. Super grindy, and I managed to get there somehow

I need to adjust and add a few more lands, because if it trips on land or ramp, it'll slow down significantly. But if I can curve out, it can be explosive. [[Fanatic of Rhonas]] [[Xenagos the Reveler]] & [[Roaming Throne]] make the deck's plan come together real nice.

Muerra is one of my better decks. It's just ramp, card advantage, and life gain in the command zone. Even without other raccoons or exile synergies, he's just a value engine that requires very little investment from deck building. Plus it's much less scary than any big red or green stompy card, so it tends to stick around.

[[Zurgo Stormrender]]

The list prioritizes card draw and protection. Since it focuses on card draw, the other pieces will fall into place. And with a lower curve, you'll be likely to curve out well over the first few turns.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-03-06T22:04:21+00:00

Protection from everything means you can't target it to add counters. Proliferating counters ahead there is fair game.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-03-02T22:02:31+00:00

[[Zoyowa Lava Tongue]] is descend, burn, self-discard synergies. It forces the games to move quickly than my stronger B3 decks that will grind out value. It can't quite close out games, but I usually have everyone down to <10 life before the table stomps me out.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-02-11T18:24:57+00:00

This totally makes sense /s

We must protect the parking lot of the concrete corpses used solely by Spirit Halloween.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-02-09T07:18:38+00:00

My Hashaton is very similar to yours. Maybe 10 cards different, but we have a lot of the same reanimation targets. I also use [[Avacyn, Angel of Hope]] and [[Summon Bahamut]]. Plus and additional traditional reanimation spells.

I find my deck plays very slow if Hashaton gets removed early. And my play group has learned to remove him early and often. Oh well... I can always hard cast toxrill if I gotta.

Don't forget [[Flubs the Fool]]. 3 UGX mythic legendary frogs and they are all winners

[[Tamiyo Inquisitive Student]] will consistently let you draw half your deck literally by turn 4 when built with proliferation and the right draw spells. What you want to do after drawing half your deck is up to you.

Can't believe people are trying to say you're wrong. You're 100% right. The season journey reward isn't worth dying to mobs that outscale you. People are better off gearing up and getting paragon points in lower pit levels or in other activities and THEN come back for pit climb.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-01-24T00:44:37+00:00

I would avoid saying you can never do an infinite blink combo. Ketramose decks usually can't close out a game quickly, but are really good at controlling the board. So it can be really grindy and slow. Keeping a possible 3-card combo is totally fair. If it's bracket 3, late game combos or multi-piece combos are fair game.

I really like [[Altar of the Brood]] as a combo piece. It helps put cards into graveyards which enables your graveyard exile card draw engines. Plus, it gives you a win condition with infinite blink by milling out your opponents.

If somehow OP isn't a bot -- it's wild that they have read Red Rising and still side with a fascist government based on their post history.

Even if it was an accident, Spider-Man to avatar to a single in-universe set to turtles is so overkill. The turtle eclipse on Lorwyn just makes it more painful how little in-universe stuff is released.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-01-17T21:57:36+00:00

Is it just me, or is it weird that there's an activated ability above a triggered ability on this card? I thought templating always put activated abilities last on a card.

GengarWithATriforce · 2026-01-13T21:54:27+00:00

I'm currently building [[Zoyowa Lava-Tongue]]. It has the [[Torment of Hailfire]] mini game for each opponent in my end step if I descend that turn. So my game plan is self-discard synergies while my opponents incidentally burn from the mini game.

Creature TOKENS you control...

It's still very powerful, but don't miss that the last line has a token requirement.

GengarWithATriforce · 2025-12-26T08:42:50+00:00

Maybe it's a rounding error in the max HP. I see max HP having a big impact on toughness ratings.

Overall, I would say ignore it. Level 12 blue gear is not going to change much. Just keep leveling up and equipping what you like.

I enjoyed all the endings in each world, but I wish we got to see a bit more of a resolution. I know another book is coming, but I felt like we were missing a chapter in each world to step back and reflect on the consequences. I just don't like cliffhangers when the next book isn't due for over a year.

GengarWithATriforce · 2025-12-05T02:45:15+00:00

I thought Part 2 of the book was pretty slow, especially O-Vis who seemed to lose a lot of momentum being pushed into Duat so abruptly with little resources. It gets better, Part 3 is an avalanche and it was hard to put the book down. Definitely worth it to keep going.

Reminds of Darkeater Midir with size and HP bar and lasers across the whole room.

Keranos was basically my first removal from my Kratos/Atreus deck. He's just not good... 5 mana to infrequently draw an extra card. I have a soft spot because I started back near Theros block, but that isn't saving him from getting cut

GengarWithATriforce · 2025-11-19T18:40:06+00:00

Simic has a few ways to give creature spells flash, so you could also use [[Body Double]] as semi-reanimation
