Thanks DementedKirby. I agree with all that you have said here. I picked up a copy of each in the list excluding Genesis Storm and Loyal Guardian (Skull Storm for the art over it's suitability with Mazirek).
I wasn't overly impressed by the C18 offerings and cherry picked a few more cards from the set as opposed to purchasing any of the decks. The only commander that slightly interested me was Aminatou, the Fateshifter, but not enough to buy and invest in upgrades.
I'm definitely going to give Turntimber Sower a chance, not sure what I'll cut yet....
Hey guys, I've just signed up here and have been reading over some of the past and latest posts. It seems pretty cool with loads of great suggestions for the New Aristocrats deck!
I saw the a post about a version of this deck on Channel Fireball earlier in the week, I think, and really felt that it was the first deck that I've actually wanted to branch out into Modern for. I've been playing for just over two years now - started with EDH and tried Standard from SOI onwards non-competitive, but have played in some pre-release and Gamedays. I don't get to go to FNM due to work, but hope that might change later in the year. I really like brewing my own decks and have never netdecked before, but this deck stood out - so I've bought almost the whole deck (minus fetches and some of the most expensive cards i.e. Thoughtseize, 3 x Path to Exile, 3 x Inquisition of Kozilek and some of the SB). However, I think the deck is playable. I just lost 2-1 in a match on Xmage to a Blood Moon Dragon deck (I'm not very familiar with the entire Modern meta).
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to trying to get some games with the deck, trade/buy into the more expensive pieces and hopefully follow and contribute to this excellent thread! I have a playset of Bloodghast and was thinking about getting it into the deck, so was encouraged by an earlier post that had good things to say about it!

I know it's a bit early, but will you be doing a review of Commander 2018 cards for the deck?
I don't see much there for us (reprints excluded), other than Turntimber Sower, which could be pretty good.
Sac an Evolving Wilds, for example, get a plant token, pay G and sac 3 creatures return the EW, play it again, sac it... it can get a few triggers.
Skull Storm at 9 CMC....
What do you think?

I definitely agree that Bontu the Glorified could be useful too!
