This used to be "Dragonlord Dromoka, the Eternal", a weird combination of GW Megamorph and Midrange-Ramp focusing on both versions of Dromoka and Sunscorch Regent as finishers. It's remained mostly the same, but now I feel it's streamlined better. This is a deck I have in Paper - it is not optimized, but I'm trying to; I'm on a Budget and have traded aggressively for the high $ cards.If you have any advice or suggestions - specific cards better or more useful and the like, please share them!
Spent quite a bit of my funds on Commander cards yesterday, and the Magic Market Index had some insightful comments regarding Standard so I thought I'd ask: what would be the best direction for this deck to take and what cards would get it there?
1-3 tonight at FNM. My standard deck is crap and I don't have the trade stuff or the $ to improve it. What trade stuff I have people already either have or don't need, and the stuff I need/want people are already using if they have it.
...sometimes I despise the 2ndary market intensely...
What price range as you keeping in mind? I like the idea of the deck, but I'm wondering if potentially a Tireless Tracker, Surrak, the Hunt Caller, and Sigarda, Heron's Grace combo(?) could exist. They curve out, and Sigarda protects the other two for some potentially late game huge swings with Mama Dromoka hasted or Tracker getting big (or both in a grindy match). Maybe that's too slow, but with some white removal it might get there. What do you think?
Surrak, the Hunt Caller is one of the best enablers in this deck, definitely! I have 1 Tireless Tracker and 2 Sylvan Advocates and hope to get a playset before they rotate out, but my current trade binder is either "bulk rares" or "the people who want the playables have the cards I want but are using them so it doesn't work out". I have a friend able to order cards online for me (he wanted my foil SOI Avacyn and bought it from me in exchange for that - my decision) and I can probably get a few off amazon too, but not very quickly compared to his ebay account.
I'm thinking about going a bit more ramp-focused, but World Breaker and Ulamog/Kozilek are the only huge 7+cmc creatures I'd want to run. I think? Either way.
Basically cutting out the Red from Standard GR Eldrazi Ramp and replacing it with White, really. But I think I've decided to aim towards GW midrange, especially since I traded for 3 more Tireless Trackers.
Meanwhile, EMN looks absolutely insane for this type of build - and I hopefully will have a playset of Declaration in Stone soon-ish.
EMN brought with it several very nice pieces for this deck, but for now I'll have to wait and just trade aggressively.
Meanwhile, a UBG Emerge deck has caught my interest. Might try something like that out, too and post it here on mtgs.
[edit]
I also have considered UB, BG, or GU Emerge builds but full Sultai or Simic catches my interests more, I suppose. Mostly because BG would be better suited to trying to get BG Delirium Midrange going. Or something. I'm honestly feeling a bit lost.
Gutted this deck for my Captain Sisay deck and will post my renewed list after Kaladesh hits. Skysovereign, Consul Flagship has me hyped for Standard *and* EDH.
