MTG Salvation

Kolaghan is a unique commander because of her ability Dash. With this ability she essentially exists permanently in my hand instead of the Command Zone, and she can be cast every turn while avoiding sorcery speed removal.

I'm building this deck to try to take advantage of her entering the battlefield every turn.

Here is a preliminary list:



Some of the fun synergies she has are with Scourge of Valkas, Warstorm Surge, and Bladewing's Thrall.

I'm trying to come up with some more along these lines, any input would be appreciated.

Since you are using that commander you want a lot of little creatures to use her ability to the maximum not 1-2 big dragons. That's why opinion

That's the idea, I am thinking tokens with creators like Krenko, Gisa, and Bitterblossom. I'd prefer more evasive ones like from Bitterblossom, but I don't think Rakdos has too many beyond that.

I should probably find some more token makers, maybe Dragon Roost.

Made some changes to the decklist and organized it a bit more. I added more things that create value out of me casting Kolaghan every turn like Hamletback Goliath, Door of Destinies, and Shadow Alley Denizen, and I added some more token makers like Rapacious One, Myr Battlesphere and Bloodline Keeper.

If you are playing alot of tokens you could play Smokesstack, Tangle Wire

Have you considered Conspiracy? Turning your general into a pseudo-Craterhoof Behemoth/ Márton Stromgald seems strong.

Good idea, Rakdos has a few stax style cards of its own, I'll look into it, thanks.

Oooh, this is amazing, definitely making room for it.

And with Hero's Blade comes another update:


I think I was doubling down too hard on tokens, I kept some token producers in the deck, but mostly ones that work well with my game plan. I also added more ramp because with all these dragons the average CMC is through the roof.

Hero's Blade is a notable addition. A great equipment that works well with Kolaghan's Dashing. Pushes her into 3 hit territory and synergizes with Warstorm Surge.

My opinion, and how I'm probably going to build the deck, is plenty of tutors, removal, and damage multipliers. The extra tokens help with their damage but I see this general as something you will be winning with general damage (considering you can dash from the command zone).

I'd like to know how well the token theme works out. I'll get back to you on my removal/damage build and let you know how it works. Putting a build together for this weekend.
