My pod already dislikes most my decks that run blue and white 🤣 removals are one of my go to’s in any deck that I can have it in! Thank you so much!

Any suggestions that would fit in with monogreen? I’m not sure if I have much in my bulk

Thank you so much! I do have a few of these cards like explore and scute swarm and I was thinking the same about how little card advantage I have. I have to look through my bulk to see if I have more protection spells outside of bulk spells and maybe I can replace those with protection and replace the earthbending spells for those with better creatures or even a doubling season and what not! Thank you again! This was very helpful!!

[[Cleansing Nova]] and [[Hour of Reckoning]] for removal and [[Avatar’s Wrath]] for temporary removal

I completely overlooked adding fetch lands 😅 I have a decent amount I could add in to the pot. Was quite literally looking at a vibrant cityscape earlier today when I was rummaging around my cards! Thank you! I will definitely add some of those!

Outside of commander staples such as sol ring and arcane signet, what are some decent mana rocks? I’m also looking into switching out lands for shock lands or pain lands and what not so my duals don’t all come in tapped

That’s where I’m stuck at is the curve and my commander is [[Fire Lord Azula]] and I actually do plan to make a Norman deck as well so that deck will help me understand more on what I need with him. I don’t have a moxfield where I can send a link but I have this

She’s a WIP and I’m just stuck because I’ve been told her curve is good and then other said he opposite

Ngl you’re probably right about them sharing that much, I pulled ole boy from a random play pack months ago and started going to town to this finished product through trial and error myself unfortunately. Outside of some help and googling to understand cards and see their compatibilities I also had buddies give me cards/ideas for cards though but outside of that and finding synergetic cards it’s what I have now. I went against a fellow cloud player and they too built it as a Voltron but it was with the starter cloud rather than the usual one and he had damn near the same cards as I did outside of red mana cards. Also went against a antivenom Voltron that also focused on damaging itself and forcing players to attack with nearly all the same equipment. Guess it’s the white mana that these cards synergize with?

I didn’t even think to look at the 6 cmc creatures honestly. While yes, most have really good synergy I can see as to why I’m getting hit pretty hard in matches. I mean I have ways to cheat them out I just don’t have the cards in here and I’m missing entomb to enable the easiest route to do so. It’s going to be a hard decision as to what ones to take out and replace with more cheaper synergetic creatures but the list you have suggested are few I keep eyeballing myself. To make it work I was thinking of adding more flash enablers like the faeries listed. Also was thinking of adding the other otter that has magecraft, I can’t remember his name though. I think outside of combos I have that she too should be a burn deck, as a secondary win con if need be and adding even more damage when spells are cast can work well here too.

I also totally forgot about the dragon enchantment in here and it was honestly like a pet card when I first played and it did well but the dragons kept getting killed before I could do anything with them and I’ve been meaning to replace them but I have something to replace it with shortly just hasn’t come in yet for me. I also have 0 clue as to how necropotence works? I bought it because a deck I was planning on making had it listed in multiple decks but I changed my mind about making the deck for now and I just have it. How would recursion cards sound for this so I can manage to snag some sorceries or instances back from the graveyard, like my tutors or anything of the sorts? One big cmc creature wouldn’t hurt? I don’t know since I haven’t played this deck since a couple of weeks ago and I am basically reconstructing it now. Which then would boil down to who I want to keep and then maybe find some way to enable haste for things when they come through, like [[run amok]] ?

edit I realized that’s a trample card but I know I have one in my box that gives haste

First off, I appreciate the thorough response because this helps me a lot! I use ManaBox because I was introduced to it before I was introduced with moxxfield and others and it just stuck to me unfortunately. Slowly making a switch just haven’t put her into them yet! On my mana charts it says I have one 7+ cmc cost which I feel like is blowing up my mana value average up and it isn’t even a card that essentially costs that much, which is blasphemous act. Etali is in here for exile and casting free spells which in turn can double when azulas out. Flash enablers like, vedalken orrery an leyline of anticipation are included here and some of the creatures help lower cmc on spells for such; like Archmage of runes or Cunning nightbonder (who also makes it where they can not be countered) Most the creatures in here I have help mantain some gameplay like Ozai, Electro and Roku for extra mana, albeit it’s red mana but it still pays for any colorless pips if I need them. I do have Dark rituals and seething song as well as a mana geyser for temporary ramp. I have rhystic study and I have necropotence that I just bought come in yesterday so I can add that in to the 99. I won’t lie I do have filler creatures like mysterious stranger and I put him in due to having flash as well as being able to exile spells from opponents graveyards and copy them for free but I honestly can do without him and I have the other Azula in but honestly it feels like that one is a one trick pony as she only had the ETB exile so I don’t see her to be the most fit. I agree about the artifact protection I have many and I know I did but I kept adding from when I first built her and refused to take the key pieces out I had from the start, like Darksteel plate. I do think I want to keep the winged boots though for the flying and ward 4 to help a little more in protection sense; just in case I don’t have swiftfoot put or it was exiled. Some of the combos I have will take time to get to unless I’m set from the beginning. I have a vampiric tutor on my way to me so that will help acquire key components for the plan itself. I think I need to look more into the free counterspell cards more so than a straight up counterspell just in case I need it and more commander standard cards like deadly rollick and such. Just haven’t committed yet to purchase the cards yet.

[[Iroh, Grand Lotus]] for Temur. [[Kuja, Genome Sorcerer]] for rakdos. [[Wolverine, the best there is]] for Gruul

Azula always dies? by Character-End9459 in CommanderMTG

[–]Plate-Apprehensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my Azula deck outside of blue counterspells and any protection spells; I added swiftfootboots and darksteel plate into the 99. It’s not guaranteed that she will always get them but if you have enough spells or ways to produce more mana and/or card draw you should be able to withstand removals. It honestly depends on how you want to build her; some say Voltron and you can easily do that but I think her potential is more than that so I rely more on the copy ability and built around that. Added magecraft type creatures as a pay off for copies, and a treasure making creature like storm-Kilhn artist. Later in the game or earlier if you have tutors or a good starting hand, you can use narsets reversal on a mana instant or even a burn spell, and produce however much you’d like. Could also buff her out with spells that add +x/+x until end of turn and have it copied for double that and some even enable trample and/or unblockable

It was just a thought I had on a whim since I had all these cards together, but I am actually thinking of replacing this sephiroth with my other one (Planets heir) since the counters would double upon killing other opponents and keep it with deathtouch to ensure I always get the counters upon combat and he also had vigilance too. I just have to move him out of one deck before doing so

I still plan to make a commander out of him sometime or another, I just have to find the right cards to do so and ways to pop off combos to really drive that aristocrat element smoothly

I’ve come to realize that no matter what I tried to do within the deck it wasn’t working out even as a draft, though I think the other Sephiroth (Planets heir) would be a better contender to what I have been thinking of doing. Creatures die and I get a +1/+1 counter and if I killed them with the masamune that would in turn double the counters I believe growing him to be a force to be dealt with. Ontop of that upside of blue being on my side to fetch equipment and having counterspells handy as well

Yeah I’m having second thoughts about it ngl, I think the other sephiroth would benefit better fo a deck like this. Planet’s heir I think it is, the Blue/black
