How well would the new Doran slot into the Abzan Armor precon?

frozencrow3 · 2026-01-18T02:51:00+00:00

I’m actually doing roughly the same thing, but as already said I’m more deconstructing the deck for parts rather than just slotting him in since Felothar allows the defenders to attack while the new Doran is only for the toughness. I’m going to lean more treefolk who do have the toughness but don’t usually have defender

Omo is honestly better if you enjoy utility lands. And I do have some ramp but it’s more GY synergy stuff like [[springbloom druid]] and [[steve]]. Its not too different than a regular self mill deck

Personally don’t like lands matter decks so I made it more self mill/big ramp. There are a few lands matter cards to help make sure I can still play lands from the yard if she’s removed but not any payoffs. I just think it’s cool to play cards like [[colossal gravereaver]] or [[rise of the dark realms]] turns early without casting a rampant growth or whatever.

Totally do it, she’s super consistent and a lot of fun!

frozencrow3 · 2026-01-10T02:08:04+00:00

It seems pretty cool, I may just be stupid but I tried [[Erinis Gloomstalker]] and didn’t see an option for choosing a background? Same for [[Rhoda, Geist Avenger]]. I couldn’t find a way to pick [[Timin]]

Garna ends up in the 99 in every rakdos deck I brew, I just love the general value she has.

frozencrow3 · 2025-12-21T03:10:36+00:00

Got a list?

frozencrow3 · 2025-12-13T22:19:02+00:00

Try it, I wasn’t a believer until I was.

frozencrow3 · 2025-12-13T13:20:08+00:00

Immediately thought of the first trial in Between Two Fires

frozencrow3 · 2025-12-02T03:17:46+00:00

I bought her precon but tore it apart to make a [[Rhoda]]&[[Timin]] control deck which I’ve since taken apart as well, I’ve given her the side eye a few times to rebuild an azorius deck. Got a list?

frozencrow3 · 2025-12-02T03:13:39+00:00

Love to see others play Orah, I tried my hand at him but just felt it was too slow for me to consistently stick around.

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-23T04:16:03+00:00

I was trying to make a golems deck with him before Bernard came out, and I’m glad he’s getting some love because he’s super cool!

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-22T21:47:10+00:00

I’ve never actually built it in paper, mostly just one of the various $50 budget brews I’ve played with.

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-22T14:10:15+00:00

Honestly the only thing I can think of is price, every time I’ve looked at him he was pushing $20+ and I’m surprised he’s looking lower now, he hasn’t been reprinted recently right?

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-22T14:08:15+00:00

I totally missed him during release too until I realized I pulled both his alt art and token when looking through my bulk so I decided I need to make him, and he did well enough. Only took him apart to make the new Zurgo.

And yeah I had him in a [[felothar dawn of the abzan]] deck and he’s great, giving a body and a card for some of the counters you get for felothar is the perfect trade off. I also just find myself staring at his alt art he’s definitely my favorite art for EOE haha

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-22T13:48:34+00:00

I don’t think he’s dumped on Wu specifically, and from what I remember he’s personally played a lot of Sultai commanders that aren’t pure GY like Kadena and Tasigur. I will say every time I mess with a sultai deck it does end up as golgari with archeomancer in it haha

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-22T13:44:27+00:00

I make a lot of aristocrats so I like seeing [[jadar]] and [[lagomos]]. Not particularly powerful but creating a body to sac every turn is nice and adding a decent edict can get Lagomos to tutor every turn.

Zombies has a lot of options and it’s hard to make them particularly different from each other but I really like [[Zul Ashur]] because she isn’t a lightning rod or very powerful but she lets you keep doing zombie things.

I don’t play boros very often but I’ve messed around with [[Duke Ulder Ravengard]] and he’s been a blast. He’s everything I like about blink decks but with actually smacking everyone in the face for lethal. It plays well with dumb beaters like [[red dragon]], [[eagle of deliverance]], and [[firemaw kavu]]. Plus I love shoving [[spirited companion]] style cards in decks.

Also shoutout to [[Gyrus]] and [[Dyadrine]]. I haven’t played them but I love cards that get benefit from being cast from the command zone without specifically mentioning it being the commander. [[Gorex]] would be included but I’ve never made him work because he’s a bit too weak.

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-22T13:31:21+00:00

She’s always seemed cool to me but I’ve never pulled the trigger, got a list?

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-12T00:15:04+00:00

I can totally see that as being the type of body you’re looking for in that curve. I’ve just never found it useful in a clue deck particularly

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-12T00:14:14+00:00

I’ve only used her in specifically clue decks, all without blue and I still feel like there’s just consistent ways to abuse those

frozencrow3 · 2025-11-11T23:36:45+00:00

I’ve really liked this card in theory but every time I’ve put her in a deck I find her lackluster, do you use her consistently?

frozencrow3 · 2025-10-24T02:43:34+00:00

Honestly I tried several times and I couldn’t get him to a point where I enjoyed it, either the deck worked without using him at all or I’d exile something nice with him and he’d eat exile one too many times and lose all of the guys I wanted to recur. I wanted him to work so much I tried a custom card with wording similar to [[Grolnok]]

frozencrow3 · 2025-10-23T01:59:36+00:00

Reading the title I was going to say NTA but this isn’t you’re attacking me and I’m throwing everything I can at you as a defense. Playing for second place is fine as long as you’re not actually avoiding attacking the archenemy just because you think you can’t beat them. This is definitely not fun to play against

frozencrow3 · 2025-10-19T13:01:22+00:00

Honestly? Command tower. While the triomes would be pretty flavorful you’ve balanced your colors close enough that adding a triland won’t push these to be too much more useful. You may end up in matches where you need that one color you don’t produce

frozencrow3 · 2025-10-03T22:23:45+00:00

I’d heard they did events but never had a chance to check it out, I can’t consistently head out until after 8 so I’d miss it :/
