MTG Salvation

About plushpenguin's Yuriko: I've been dunked by a buddy of mine that plays his Yuriko deck every once in a while. Would Sublime Exaltation be good? I figure you have redundancy in your weenies, and it'd be a good hit for Yuriko.

Other: Ixidron (if you want to count that)

Of the ones you listed, I probably prefer Massacre Wurm. I've seen that card finish off a lot of tables.

Sure, I'd submit my lists for the Random Deck of the Week.

I like a lot of the ones listed, but one that I really like that wasn't yet listed is Recurring Insight.

For those saying this has synergy with Barren Glory, afaik, it won't, because Bontu says you can sacrifice other permanents.

Many times I have either been on the giving or receiving end of a game-ending Vicious Shadows. My experience with it is that it either gets removed quickly or ends the game quickly.

Faith of the Devoted is a strong card in my Zur cycling deck.

If you're looking for an easy win condition, Approach of the Second Sun is great, as you're already digging quickly through your deck.

Estrid's Invocation might be good, since you have some really powerful enchantments that would do well in multiples.

Your graveyard is going to fill up quickly, Dig Through Time might be a nice addition to help your draw power.

Is it just a hate deck? I can think a few other cards that would slow/stop a lot of combo decks that you might want to include:

• Aura of Silence
  
• Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
  
• Containment Priest
  
• Disallow
  
• Linvala, Keeper of Silence
  

The good cards for your deck probably depends on the type of combo(s) you're facing.

I typically see Teferi's Puzzle Box in combo decks in order to help them dig for their combo pieces, I'm a bit surprised you included it in your list. Any particular reason?

Like many are saying, I’m more inclined to comment on decks or commanders that I’m familiar with.

For example, I have a Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign sphinx tribal deck. You use Unesh, who carries a lot of weight in my Yennet deck. But your Unesh deck is storm, which I have zero familiarity with, and is very unique. My comments would cover a very different strategy. If I wanted to create a blue storm deck, your list is likely a good place where I would start (and begin posting).

For your Angus deck, you kind of nailed it in your post - there have been a lot of Angus decks built, and while yours has a few choices that make the deck your own, this strategy (and commander) have been thoroughly discussed. I do not have a deck like it, so maybe if I wanted to build a fog-type deck I’d post on your list, but that’s not something I’ve done. And your post does not ask for help.
“just a fog deck like pretty much every Angus deck out there.”
“I don't have a ton more to say about the deck”
...then why should we?

If you’re looking for specific critiques, I’d include that in the title and you might get more of a response. If you’re looking for dialogue about your own decklists, I’d consider posting on others’ lists as a starting place. Like others have said, if you show interest in someone’s list, I think they’re more likely to take an interest in yours.

Do you have a deck list I can check for ideas?

Sure, you can pop on over to my decks in my profile. Link here.

I think your colors are some of the best for quality removal. In looking at your list, it looks like you do indeed run a lot of removal and I’m surprised you’re still having trouble getting hit early. Perhaps even cheaper removal like Toxic Deluge and Cyclonic Rift would help you out?

I have a Yennet deck, but I typically do not have problems with creature-based decks since my creatures usually have bigger butts and vigilance. Are you having problem with token decks?

I’ve made some additions, subtractions, probably even some more complicated functions. The list is at 100 cards, though I do not own all the ones in my list currently. In person I have some other cards as placeholders, so next time I’m home I will update to reflect those cards as well.

But keep your ideas coming! What’s your favorite flavor text? Is it a card that might be useful in this list?

The list is starting to look like it will want to keep the board clear and then drop gigantic creatures and try to get through with them.

I’d add Thassa, God of the Sea. He will filter your draws, but more importantly, will give all your sea monsters evasion. I have a sea monster deck with Thassa as a commander, and it’s decent.

I'd probably try Geist of Saint Traft tempo or maybe Zacama, Primal Calamity dinosaurs?

I play both Pir and Toothy in a counter-based Atraxa list, and I absolutely would run both under nearly any circumstance. The fact that one tutors the other makes your chances of "drawing" Pir double without needing to take up the space to use a tutor, Toothy does something in addition to tutoring Pir, card draw is always relevant, and Toothy should almost always draw removal or else you gain a massive advantage, which I think is already on par (or better than) Jace, which you're contemplating replacing him with.
