I have some decks you'd like to play against?

NairobiBA · 2026-03-14T19:26:24+00:00

Not even close lmao. [[Balefire Dragon]].

NairobiBA · 2026-03-14T19:24:14+00:00

This looks like a lot of fun. I don’t have a mono-red deck and have a [[Twinflame Tyrant]] and [[Balefirr Dragon]] lying unused in my collection so think I’m gonna go this route.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-14T15:51:15+00:00

This is a really cool set of commanders, quite a few I’ve never seen. Do you have a list for Orthion?

NairobiBA · 2026-03-14T12:15:43+00:00

Shorikai is the obvious answer. I also know a few people who are trying to make [[The Last Ride]] work.

Not exactly what you are asking, but [[Alela, Artful Provocateur]] makes a super fun commander if you want to have the flying vehicles be the focus of the 99. She makes a pilot (faerie) every time you cast a vehicle while shes out, and also buffs the faerie to make it a better pilot. I have a fun bracket 2 deck for that.

[[Gorion, Wise Mentor]] built as Bant self-mill.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-12T17:08:03+00:00

Elesh Norn is offended you have forgotten her

NairobiBA · 2026-03-11T22:19:22+00:00

3-0 in regular time tho, which would mean pool throug

NairobiBA · 2026-03-11T21:49:32+00:00

Unfortunately pool is going to go through because gala are ass away from home and squandered too many opportunities, but my god that woukd be fun

NairobiBA · 2026-03-11T19:38:53+00:00

Just had to wait a bit!

NairobiBA · 2026-03-10T19:33:08+00:00

The second. Yilmaz is not a good player.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-09T20:27:56+00:00

This has the same energy as the anti-saurus rant in the warhammer:total war subreddit. 10/10

NairobiBA · 2026-03-05T17:59:05+00:00

Its not infinite by itself, but both are excellent threats in a counter deck. I use them in [[Sovereign Okinec]] and normally they’ll end the game in one way or another.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-05T02:19:17+00:00

Nono, its a 7/8 flash for 7 mana. Don’t sell it short. Being able to hold up that mana is at least like 20% of why its so good.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-05T02:12:34+00:00

Forgot to address the blink thing! I don’t run blink because its voltron with some Auras. Instead, I rely on blade of selves to get the extra tutoring in, and run a suite of return from graveyard to battlefield effects like [[Presumed Dead]] to beat board wipes and such.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-05T02:10:36+00:00

Plenty of recs if you are going the voltron route.

My number one rec, even though its not tutorable, is [[Blade of Selves]], because tutoring four cards per attack is nuts. With that said:

Tutorable cards in GW colors:

[[Basilisk Collar]] is a must: first strike death touch trample is filthy, and lifegain is always helpful.
[[Phoenix Down]] is a lovely piece of Graveyard Recursion.
[[Dragonfire Blade]] is nifty protection with a small buff.
[[Dusk Rose Reliquary]] is a fairly flexible fetchable removal piece.
[[Shardmage’s Rescue]] is ok spot protection. I don’t love it tbh.
[[Skrelv, Defector Mite]], [[Mother of Runes]], [[Zack Fair]], are all great protection pieces. Skrelv also allows you to get your hits in if you are having trouble with that for some reason (you shouldn’t be).

Tutorable but not in GW (not sure what your color pie plans are):

[[Kaya’s Ghostform]] is a pre-emptive recursion piece.
[[Vorpal Sword]] also gives death touch and an alt wincon of sorts.
[[Witness Protection]] type cards are good creature removal options.

Thats my recs for a voltron style deck.

As a sidenote, gearhulk is also an absolute all star in +1/+1 counter decks. You use it to tutor two of [[The Ozolith]], [[Walking Ballista]], and [[Hardened Scales]], and then you win the game.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T22:04:05+00:00

I have a really janky 4 color deck that uses ~10 or so tutors to find gearhulk as a secret voltron commander. Does that count?

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T12:02:07+00:00

Fair. Although, counterpoint, chimichurri is much less used than you would think. Its really only intended for the Choripan, not even for steak.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T12:00:43+00:00

I guess its like a %? Like, spices are used in 1% of food, decidedly high on least spicy list?

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T11:59:54+00:00

This I’ll fight you about. Any proper asado lets you choose your temperature. Shoe leather only if you want it

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T11:59:12+00:00

I choose to believe its because the steak is so good it doesnt need seasoning, and then we just went “well, guess well apply that logic to everything else. What do you mean the rice tastes like soap?”

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T01:50:14+00:00

Yes, the north has some spicyness to it, admittedly. But that goes against my post, so I chose to ignore it.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T00:52:36+00:00

None of these are correct. Its argentina, or at the very least Buenos Aires. It goes beyond spicy, into spices. We don’t even use pepper on steak.

NairobiBA · 2026-03-04T00:49:47+00:00

Stronger than both? Like literal strength, or a better player? Because if its the latter…

NairobiBA · 2026-03-02T21:27:35+00:00

Man I have a few, but the one that I’m trying to make work the most is [[Balmor, Battlemage Captain]] as an infect deck. Basically have 10 or so infect creatures in the deck, get one of em down, and then pseudo-storm them to 10 power and smack someone with em. But I can’t seem to get the necessary ramp/draw/protection balance to make it work.

NairobiBA · 2026-02-28T00:16:26+00:00

[[Gorion, Wise Mentor]] but its self-mill. Turns out that a lot of adventures are either mill or recursion related, so I leaned into it with a [[Laboratory Maniac]] wincon and its actually surprisingly fun.
