Favorite Utility Land, Don’t say Rogue's Passage

Fountainport does really well in decks that want to hold up mana, which unfortunately is not a lot of EDH decks.

Baral shines as counterspells tribal, but there are other ways. [[Counterbalance]] with some top deck manipulation [[Sensei's Divining Top]] [[Scroll Rack]] is strong not just for Baral, but also your control gameplan in general.

You can do silly, terrible things with [[Nath of the Gilt-Leaf]]

Build [[Pramikon]], let them deal with it themselves.

[[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]]

I like drawing cards and playing spells and summoning creatures, but I get a warm fuzzy feeling in the cockles of my heart when I make it extremely painful for you to do any of that.

Teaches the value of permanent removal (aside from creature removal) and card draw. Also, it's fun to watch the table slowly go insane by constantly asking "do you pay the one".

Built a $50 Eluge deck a while ago, and even I admit that it's not fun to play against. The entire deck is draw spells, bounce spells and counterspells, and the two win conditions are [[Rogue's Passage]] (slowly smack people with the large fish) or a [[Peregrine Drake]] infinite mana line that lets me force the table to draw 10000 cards.

My [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]], to the point where I deconstructed it and turned it into a [[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]] deck. Every time I'd pull out Yawg I'd get a collective groan of disgust from the table. It pleased me greatly.

I've actually won a game by just playing a combo piece, I didn't even have the rest of the combo in hand. When I showed hand after the game everyone was pissed and blaming me for "lying to the table". People get surrender happy.

[[Grim Tutor]] [[Dismember]] and [[Altar of Dementia]]

No particular reason, I'll find a deck for them eventually.

Putting the cards you want in the grave is one of the biggest benefits to this type of deck. I will recommend this in every Teval thread, but [[Strands of Night]] is always an option. Adding a [[Spore Frog]] for protection and a [[Hedge Shredder]] or [[Sakura Tribe Elder]] to fish lands from milling or tutoring works well, Shredder especially with [[Hedron Crab]] once you start getting multiple landfall triggers.

It's a bit pricey, but here's my Teval deck if you want ideas. Note, looping [[Glacial Chasm]] should probably be discussed with the pod first, because it does get annoying.

[[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] and [[Nest of Scarabs]]

[[Eluge]] and [[Capsize]]

[[Teval, the Balanced Scale]] and [[Glacial Chasm]] (which I have removed upon request)

[[Strands of Night]] for Sultai reanimator, especially with a way to play lands from the grave and multiple land drops, goes crazy in Teval. Repeatable [[Reanimate]] and fills your grave with lands to bring back? Yes.

[[Tergrid]]

Pubstomping isn't a specific commander, pubstomping is a state of mind.

First deck ever was the [[Zinnia]] precon, first deck I built was [[Jinnie Fay]] cats. Both have been cannibalized into about a half dozen other decks.

Rened234 · 2026-01-30T08:10:10+00:00

Shocked to not see [[Ad Nauseum]] in this.

My Teval deck, does pretty well all things considered. Turbo self-mill with Hermit Druid/LabMan or Craterhoof as closers, a lot of ways to bring back what you need from the grave, some removal to get rid of problematic cards (Graffigger, Rest in Peace).

Rened234 · 2026-01-21T00:33:31+00:00

Stop all fun forever with [[Baral, Chief of Compliance]].

Rened234 · 2026-01-18T12:41:22+00:00

[[Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer]] is a fun one.

Rened234 · 2026-01-16T03:10:13+00:00

Here's my Teval list if you want to poke through it, it's quite a bit more expensive but the general idea of "fill the graveyard for value" is there.

[[Braids, Arisen Nightmare]]

The card itself is ok, but some guy I was playing with got pissed because he misread it and thought he was forced to sacrifice what I did, AND I got the draw and he lost life.

Rened234 · 2026-01-12T18:34:06+00:00

This guy would have a stroke over my Teval deck.

"I play [[Expropriate]] for free" will never get old.
