I love value machines and ETB in particular. My playgroup is typically playing 7.5-8 power. This commander is pretty much what I am looking for. Focus on control-ish, theft/copy, and ETB value.
Terrified of Torpor Orb effects..packing some counterspells and bounce for those, but might not be enough. My main concern is that I'll durdle too much and my win cons are not strong enough. I don't really prefer to combo out, but I have a Time Warp (blinking Archaeomancer) in there just in case there's a 3 hour long game. Debating whether I should put in dramatic scepter..Any suggestions please, on the wincons or the deck as a whole?
So my Kess Deck is incomplete as I'm trying really hard to trim down to 99 but having trouble taking stuff out. To state the obvious, the list does NOT include my lands. I am planning for roughly 36 lands since I have a decent amount of rocks..but let me know if that seems like too little or too much.
In regards to win cons, I typically prefer big spells over comboing out. I do have [[Doomsday]] and [[Laborartory Maniac]] but want to avoid that if possible..there are several other big spells here that I feel like I may be able to copy or just cast twice to help me get the win. I know I can technically make this better and more competitive as storm (and ofc if I shell out more $), but these types of cards on this list is what I want to choose from.
I am open to suggestions for new cards, but I've pretty much hit my budget cap with this and don't want to spend too much more. Please let me know what I should remove, or any tips in general. This is the first EDH deck I built that is not creature based, so I am having trouble deciding between cantrips, instants, sorceries, removal, burn etc.
Oh, I also have [[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]] and [[Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge]] so if I decide to tweak the deck or get bored of Kess, I figure I can build around either of those two instead.
