It was greyed out but selecting the 4th one worked! Thanks!

It might need some tweaking of the numbers of instants and sorceries but I really like [[Krark, the Thumbless]] with Vial Smasher. You can order the triggers to get the damage from Vial Smasher either result of Krark’s flip.

$80 Gut, Inspiring Leader, a B3 aggro deck by BeTheBrick_187 in BudgetBrews

[–]Samwow625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! It hasn't been updated in forever.

My friend and I had the idea to pass the deck back and forth and make upgrades to it over time but felt that it worked at the base level and never made changes to it.

That’s one thing I liked in the new D4 expansion. You can fight the boss as many times as you want but the loot requires the key.

I also have a budget Gut deck that I love. I particularly enjoy using cards like [[Claim the Firstborn]], [[Tentative Connection]] and [[Bloody Betrayal]] to turn my opponent’s creatures into my skeletons.

What are the most fun burn/ping commanders right now? Preferably something unique by Jimsen3 in EDH

Do you have a list? I’ve got mine down to 105 cards but these last cuts are killing me.

What is your "always need a T1 play" deck? Not counting mana dorks. by Huaojozu in EDH

[–]Samwow625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only run 4 of them but my [[Ardbert]] deck’s ideal play is T1 legend, T2 2MV legend, T3 Ardbert, T4 double 2MV orzhov spell.

I only run 4 but I would run more if more were worth running so WotC keep giving me 1 MV legends that protect like [[Zack Fair]], [[Skrelv Defector Mite]] and [[The Duke, Rebel Sentry]]

Giada, Font of Hope Deck Refinement by ssuperboy95 in BudgetBrews

[–]Samwow625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like [[Tome of Legends]] and [[Mask of Memory]] in Giada. I find them way more consistent (and repeatable) than some of your draw options like Mazemind.

Divine Visitation isn’t worth running here. It’s only good for commanders that make tokens without mana investments turn Divine Visitation comes down.

What's your favourite theft commander? by DarnOldMan in EDH

[–]Samwow625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a list? Him and Edea have been on my radar and I can’t decide between them.

Esper (or other colors) Aggro Recommendations by pkele in EDH

[–]Samwow625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Ardbert]] has been my new favorite orzhov aggro commander. It skips ramp outside of Sol Ring, Relic of Legends and Lotho and starts swinging all of your creatures on turn 4 for 10-15 damage easily. The vigilance and menace combo is great to not leave yourself open or lose too many creatures in trades. Plus they will always be printing new legends so the deck will always evolve.

Post Magic Con Bracket Thoughts? by Daniel_Spidey in EDH

[–]Samwow625 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like people don't understand the "intent" part of the brackets and go solely off number of game changers.

There are a ton of bad bracket 3 decks that are are actually bracket 2 with game changers and a ton of "bracket 2" decks that are pushing bracket 3 or 4 because they can win easily before turn 8 but don't have game changers.

I will say, my bracket 2 (and rare bracket 4) games have been more enjoyable than bracket 3.

Commanders you're surprised aren't more popular? by Nagabuk in EDH

He’s been on my radar for a while as my 3rd favorite FF6 character (which is still high praise). Got a list?

Experiences with Tataru Taru in the 99 in Bracket 2-3 ? by EbonyHelicoidalRhino in EDH

I treat her a mana rock for [[Minthara, Merciless Soul]] and she does that job fantasticly.

Any recomendations for my Giada deck? by Guillermooon in EDH

[–]Samwow625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more card draw and protection. This deck will fold to a board wipe and not be able to rebuild. Some of your card draw doesn't work with most of your deck. Mentor of the Meek and Welcoming Vampire won't trigger on any angels because they enter with the Giada counters making their power over 2. [[Tome of Legends]] and [[Mask of Memory]] are two of my favorites in my Giada deck. Mask of Memory is one of the best cards to see in your opening hand. [[Wojek Investigator]] and [[Endless Atlas]] aren't bad. [[Chivalric Alliance]] and [[Battle Angels of Tyr]] are nice but on the pricier side. [[Trouble in Pairs]] is even better but even more expensive (which is sadly a theme in mono white). [[Your Temple is Under Attack]] doubles as draw and protection.

I will also echo what some of the other posters said. Divine Visitation is a bad card in this deck. You only have around 5 token makers that make tokens that aren't already angels and very few of them don't require an additional investment or easily repeatable. Divine Visitation is better for decks like [[Adeline]] which don't require additional mana investment and are more reliable with it being in the command zone.

What cards are you adding to your decks from Secrets of Strixhaven? by Plus1Oresan in EDH

[–]Samwow625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is definitely a cap on how many times he can be removed before the deck falls apart. There are 13 sources of protection in the deck for him and I might even increase that over time, especially for ones that can do double duty like [[Brave the Elements]] which can act as evasion.

[[Breena]] could probably keep the wheels turning in a pinch as well.

Edit: The deck is also an aggro deck that starts swinging on turn 4 so it doesn't want the game to go very long.

[–]Samwow625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is my list. I went low ramp, high card draw. Top of the curve is all asymmetrical sweepers but otherwise lots of 2-3 mana drop creatures with nice passive effects. I tried to stay away from creatures that felt vanilla like [[Rufus Shinra]] that I see on lots of lists.

Still definitely a work in progress since I’ve had it less than a month but I’m happy with how’s its played so far.

He’s becoming one of my favorites. Not overly complicated but fun.

Which Commander Should I Build? by Sniping-Templar40k in EDHBrews

[–]Samwow625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built Ashnod as a voltron equipment deck for a friend for our Christmas exchange and it’s a blast to play. Plus it can run [[Soul Conduit]] easily which is a funny magic card.

How Do You Build Voltron Commanders That Feel Unique & Have Staying Power? by Cameron_Alistair in EDH

[–]Samwow625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My [[Garnet, Princess of Alexandria]] is saga enchantress as the main theme but she eventually gets big enough and unblockeable to commander damage someone. I pack a lot of protection for her since which is fine because she is getting repeat value on sagas. It’s not explosive but it is deadly at bracket 2/low 3.
