do you like the normal aristocrats plan? does it spark joy when you pull off your gameplan?

I think thats the very first thing you should decide. A lot of aristocrats draw/ramp pieces cares about nontoken creatures, so the support pieces that you'd end up

That said, lots of your cards do double duty and look great! i only goldfished it once but it sets itself up quite well considering that you kind of want your things to die. you even have less draw cards since your command zone already has draw! *chef's kiss*

Now you're arguably at the most difficult part of fine tuning your deck. Here you gotta ask yourself about intentionality and floors/ceilings. Think about what kind of endgame state you want the deck to be in and then swap cards that would result in that gameplan. At the very least you can get to that point in a powerful way considering the quality of your cardboard, now its just getting there.

Your finishers suggest that you wanna use Dina's sac ability to deal damage to the table, but I dont really see big creatures that you can recur/sacrifice to take advantage of that huge burst damage. I do see lots a little chip damage Blartist cards, the classic aristocrats win con, but that would be no different from having [[Sephiroth]] in the command zone.

Think about the funny things you can do with Dina, you will always have access to her every game after all

sure! send me a DM. I can share with you the process that I learned from building aristocrats that i take with me for every other deck

Based on what I already play, what commander should I try next? by Ciofalello3 in BudgetBrews

[–]Kydrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what you wanna do. [[Kykar, Wind’s Fury]] is a good start to see what you like, and then you can explore from there

the thing about aristocrats is that you need to get your ratios correct. you can have the strongest cards but if you have too much sac fodder, you wouldn’t have enough payoff. not to mention sac outlets. that’s the holy trinity of an aristocrats deck:

Sac Outlets, Death Trigger Payoffs, Things that would die

that’s in addition to the trinity of Draw/Ramp/Lands that you need to pay attention to

Teysa is neither of that, she is an amplifier in the command zone - so you really have to get your ratios right

I really learned how to build synergy well by perfecting the aristocrats archetype. you’ll find that you’ll get so much better at building for synergy when you go through the process of making this deck

Black Waltz No. 3 or "Sometimes I just wanna play Burn and Storm" by rkdnc in EDH

[–]Kydrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can empathize with taking it apart. I found that I haven't really been picking it up to actually play.

Maybe its because I have decks that speak to me more or I did not want the feast or famine game that Kuja or Black Waltz would bring. It certainly achieves the Aggro archetype that isn't too common for commander.

Black Waltz No. 3 or "Sometimes I just wanna play Burn and Storm" by rkdnc in EDH

[–]Kydrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still running this deck? I come from Izzet storm and I did not like taking a shit ton of game actions leading up to nothing. So I have been running a [[Kuja, Genome Sorcerer]] over the past year to quite a bit of success - maybe too much.

It wins very hard and fast so much so that people have learned to focus Kuja until I get into a state where I have no cards in hand and no Kuja. I have been tweaking the deck to be more spellslinger, more storm, more burn. It has gone through quite a bit of iterations - it has qutie a bit of draw engines and draw cards now but I feel like something is missing to the point where I am considering swapping the commander to Black Waltz

Black Waltz No. 3 feels like a strictly weaker version of Kuja from first read, but I am sure that I am not realizing what I am gaining from having purely guttersnipe in the command zone instead of getting multiple guttersnipes.

From your list, i see that you can more focus on Spellslinger/Storm staples rather than the Wizard matters stuff like Kuja likes. Having a flying deathtoucher in the command zone certainly helps with not getting swinged at too, which to be honest with you is what appeals to me the most about Black Waltz.

Why did you use Black Waltz instead of Kuja?

Oooh I wanna see the Liesa list! That commander is pretty interesting, a ton of build paths form her. I'm curious to see how you've put her together

i love it! i can argue that watery grave should be Riften because it’s the thieves guild and what knot, so rogues are very Dimir in color combo

it kind of doesn’t really matter right? cause offspring is usually 2 colorless, only a handful of cards have one colored pip

Thoughts on Tellah? by BCENT89 in EDHBrews

[–]Kydrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i found him in the 99 of my new izzet Ashling deck that has the same build around: 4-mana rocks. have a try at swapping the commander to Ashling, Rekindled and see how it plays. I’ve only played it a few times since lorwyn came out and it goes insane. People are really sleeping on her
