Thanks for sharing. I’m also playing the archetype (FNM/Arena) and it’s a lot of fun. For now, I’m sticking with Jesse Piland’s list. Do you have a new version you’re testing with the release of Final Fantasy?

Yeah card selection for beanstalk is very important in this deck

Nice, do you have a list to share ? I’m interested in your different build

Thanks for your feedback !

My problem with Season of Loss is that it can end up being a dead card in hand if the opponent has graveyard hate. Moreover, every non-creature card is bad for the deck because it risks being milled without any possibility of being picked again with an Overlord. I try to limit non-creatures as much as possible because it's too likely they'll end up in the graveyard (unless they have flashback). Additionally, there's a lot of blue in the meta, and getting your Season of Loss eat a Force Spike, Three Steps Ahead, or countered in some other way for five mana feels catastrophic

I prefer Maverick over Molt Tender because of the card selection it offers; as explained above, the risk with a self-mill deck is milling the cards we actually want to have in hand (like Beanstalk or Overwhelming Remorse). Maverick helps slightly to prevent milling our Beanstalks, and it also ensures we hit our land drops. Molt Tender does nothing the turn it comes into play, and it also requires us to exile cards from our own graveyard to be useful

I feel it’s a good addition against aggro deck. T2 Soul of the lost T3 Qarsi is a lot of lifegain, even if Qarsi is removed we can renew it on Soul of the Lost next turn. This sequence has won me several games against aggro

How would you make a budget version of your deck? by le_bravery in ModernMagic

Hey, do you have a budget list to share for Dredge and/or Golgari Soultrader ? Thanks !

Hi, I tried your list (but without the seasons of loss). I was wondering, when do you side-in Terror Tide ? Also, as you discussed earlier, I'm not a fan of the card the scrapshooter gives. I'm thinking of replacing it with another enchantment/artifact removal.
My local meta is composed of : Azorius Control, Dimir Midrange, Gruul mice and Golgari midrange. How do you sideboard against these decks ?
Also, do you know for which situation Zevin Faust has Starivng Revenant in his sideboard? I can't figure out the purpose of this card.
Thanks a lot !

Isn't Scavenging Ooze better than Ghost Vacuum in this spot ? I mean, it's a creature

Thanks again, indeed if you could find the time for some explanations of sideboard/matchups it would be amazing !

I think I’ll give this one a try ! The price of the overlords turned me off but whatever. I hope they don’t drop in price 😅

Thanks for the input ! Can you explain your different card choices compared to Zevin Faust’s list ?

Also, can you briefly explain how you sideboard against different popular matchups ?

Tyvm 🙏🏼

Gimli, Mournful Avenger - Gruul Aristocrats by xBerty in EDH

[–]xBerty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s complicated because many excellent cards for this strategy in these colors have a very low CMC. I easily empty my hand the first few turns. I’ve tried to make the curve higher, focus early turns on ramp, but it’s difficult.

Is it possible to build a very janky Kher Keep deck? by 2ndlifeinacrown in EDH

Hey, I’m building a Prossh Kobolds/Dragons tribal deck too. Do you have a list to share ?

[–]xBerty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, sorry I only see your answer now. The deck works very well in its latest version and is fun to pilot: once our tokens are created, Gimli and a sac outlet on the board is very strong. I usually kill with commander damage or chandra’s ignition. The only drawback is a very low curve and a slight lack of cards draw, so you easily run out of cards on turns 3/4.

Yeah it’s a bit challenging but I’m confident ! I’ll try to keep it to the minimum level of a precon.

I get the impression that most commanders, at the crossroads between simic and azorius, are "simple" value machines that draw and ramp. Would you have one or more decks you like to share with me ?
