Her only problem being her cost/activation and size. Unless you have haste or eggs ready to crack with her in play, you'd have to wait one turn for her to be used. Gonna have to use some shapeshifting strategies.
I think there are also another 5 or 6 eggs you could just run. That way you get two creatures off them.
Now Chainer is a much more interesting discard outlet imo. He genuinely interests me, although as far as reanimator goes, hes lacking compared to other options. Still, one of the better Rakdos general options
No, i am saying it is a trash commander. At least in a wall deck it is on theme but it is still bad in a wall deck.
I dunno about that. I think Pramikon might be the best Jeskai Superfriends commander out there. It's not going to paint a target on your head like Narset would.

I'm guessing if you can find a way to keep playing Disrupt Decorum or similar effects it may be worth while. But i always do 5 color superfriends. (I want access to al, plus i find Superfreinds without Green to be pointless. DOUBLING SEASON)
I don;t like the Rakdos Commanders. Easily able to pass on them now.
Elsha and Valroth are where it is at and my picks I might just buy them as singles though (Although apparently the Jeskai deck works very well with Elsha at the helm)
Thornbite staff is still better, with a sac outlet. (But I guess if every creature in your deck is bigger than an X/2 it is fine to use that instead of a sac outlet. Thornbite just allows you to go finite if you can keep finding ways to kill the egg for free.
I know this was yesterday, but I absolutely love this card! What are some ideas people have?
It'd be nice to do some Thantis style here i.e. token generation, which forces your opponents to fight with a bigger army and you dealing more damage as well. I heart some equipment such as Whispersilk Cloak, attack right after Sylvan Offering. With tokens you could also do Sandsower to tap potential blockers, have some token generators likes Nahiri and Elspeth (Elspeth #1 also gives out flying). You only need one hit to goad all creatures, so you only need one unblockable creature (per opponent) to entice a total war.
I like Atla!
Here's the deck I would build
-Lots of big Green and Red creatures (+maybe a big Eldrazi or two)
-4 or 5 sac-outlet cards for the eggs
-Cards that gives haste and/or flying and/or hexproof
-Ramp spells
-Spot removal
-Homeward path
-Fireballs to finish things up
Et voilà!
I am personally going to make it a really wonderful and flavourful Dinosaur-deck.
She can make more creatures, give me protection against wraths and there are even some good combo's with her if ***** hits the fan. She's amazing!
For Atla I would honestly look to Mayael decks. Add in more sac outlets than the average Mayael deck, Mirror Entity and I think Wheel of Sun and Moon will be good.

My initial thought was to go low to the ground and as evasive as these colors can do. Basically do a Naya deck that behaves a bit like Edric, Tetsuko or Sygg River Cutthroat because focusing on little creatures is out of the ordinary for Naya.
On my end I'm actually liking
Kadena, Slinking Sorceror Pramikon, Sky Rampart (I'm thinking of going Jeskai Pillowfort with it. At long last I think I've got a really thematic general for it if I can just figure out exactly what I want the build to look like) Chainer, Nightmare Adept (I've never had a Rakdos deck before and if I can figure out a way to make him play differently enough for Meren I might go with him).
all three offer a far more interesting strategy in my opion. Outside of Atla's current thornbite staff + Ashnod's altar combo. I see Changelinsg being useful, I would also be running a Phyrexian altar (And if i can find another free sac outlet in Naya's colors...)
Anyway, i could egg into a changeling and then sac that changeling and egg into a big guy. Preferably some ETB effects Eldrazi would still work (Even without their cast trigger, I will still have a nice big baddie with a nice effect and a couple will have annihilator.
Elsha i am thinking a way to get casts down to 0. some top deck manipulation, (like maybe sensei's divining top or Scroll rack) and having no other creatures. even a bit of a Volron build could be fun.
Finally Volrath, I really am going with the mass counter build. Go with Invisible stalker, Maybe a few guys with infect. Jodah's avenger offers shadow and double strike. Morphling and friends for the pumps... Experiment Kraj, master Biomancer and things with Graft will help spread counters (And thus options) around (Hell if I can, could even get a counter on Master Biomancer and then morph Volrath into it getting about +10/+10 on a creature entering. (maybe more)
Clones as well can help.
I haven't seen a lot of talk about Greven, Predator Captain but he seems like a really decent mid powered general. Hes not competitive tier but hes better than just Jank or Casual. There are lots of fun synergies here like breaking parity with group slug cards such as Manabarbs or Zo-Zu, the Punisher. Then regain all that life lost via giving him lifelink and swinging with his punp from the pain. But the real value ability in his card draw. Power heavy cards like Rakka Mar, Bloodghast and Thunderblust can turn into some very impressive draw value. Also, there are all the fun red steal a creature for a turn effects like Angrath, the Flame Chained, Act of Agression and Captivating Crew that can be turned into removal/draw.
It looks like a really solid general that is quite a bit better than most Rakdos options imo

Needless to say, Necropotence is a cheap and easy way to buff Greven while filling your hand, in case you have no creatures to sac.
Rankle, Master of Pranks could be fun if there is a way to turn him into a reusable mini Smallpox. I'm not sure if Reassembling Skeleton is worthwhile for that deck. Maybe the colorless dorks because they allow for turn 3 Ranklepox.
Sure, there is a chance of spending $4 on a booster and getting the Mythic Rare $30 super card. There is also a chance of surviving putting your tongue in a light socket.

I really like the new Prossh lite. I stopped playing Prossh cause hes too good for my playgroup. Korvold, Fae-Cursed King seems like a nicely tuned down more casual option
If there's a way to make herself an egg... (eyeing Runed Stalactite and Amorphous Axe)
