My LGS is donut a special pride event this June.

It’s commander, but with two commanders. What would be the best/ funniest combination?

Like, I thought of trazyn and some blue or blue/black artifact proxied as orikan (or possibly obeka, for the time stuff). Or celestine and greyfax.

Timeline Tuesday: The Un-Tsung Hero of the Forest

A Genesis: BoC Decktech Series Genesis deckbuilding can get a little math-y with balancing chi values, aura pools, and having no card limit, so I’m here to help breakdown some fun archetypes you can expand on or rip apart and completely remake with your own ideas! We’re gonna take a card and build an entire …

First Contact: My DeckTechs

Hello Reader (Presumably, anyway). If you got here, you most likely enjoy Magic: The Gathering, and specifically EDH/Commander.

I love talking about Magic. I love playing Magic (Less these days, but any parent of young children will understand, I'm sure). I have a Magic-shaped hole in my life. And, as I'm sure someone once said: If you can't do something, might as well write about it.

Today, I want to talk about my Commander decks, but there is a lot of them. In the Spirit of the 32 Challenge, I'll start at the beginning: White.

The genesis of my White EDH deck starts, funnily enough, with a Red deck. The 2014 Red Preconstructed, Daretti-led Built From Scratch deck. My first introduction to Artifact decks, I quickly, despite the power of the commander, changed the helm with something I was more familliar with: Burn, through the power of Pia and Kiraan Nalaar.

This created a deck where Goblin Wielder, Mycosynth Lattice and Furnace of Rath all worked in harmony to either generate overwhelming value, or dome your opponents to death. I kept that deck for many years, until the release of the Adventure in the Forgotten Realms Set. See, far too often did I suffer the commonplace issue of "Drawing the wrong half of the deck", and mixing the artifact Sacrifice Fodder with the aggressive robots and burn caused too many non-competitive games. Then I saw him, with his Mutton Chops, low Mana cost, and type line not unlike some of my own DnD characters. It was time to split my Pia and Kiraan Nalaar deck in half, one going to the world of Boros, which we'll talk about another day, and the Value-generating, Sacrifice-worthy half landing in White, under the guidance of Oswald Fiddlebender.

Story time over, let's jump into the deck.

Oswald Fiddlebender is, essentially, a Birthing Pod for Artifacts. It means that, for our deck, our curve is essential to ensure we get plenty of value to go up our artifact ladder (Something I failed because there is way too many cool artifacts at MV 4). Let's discuss the play patterns of the deck, the paths to victory, and what might make you enjoy this type of decks.

First of all, Oswald is an Enabler-type commander. You will often play him on turn 2 (Maybe on turn 1 if you have that kind of budget) except in Removal-Heavy pods, and many of your cards are heavily enhanced by having him around. A lot of the low-MV artifacts generate value when coming or going, such as Ichor Wellspring and Prized Treasure, so we can get some things out of going up the chain.

From MV 3 to 5, we're mostly looking at value engines and combo pieces, and over that, we're going for either haymakers and win-conditions, or just Value if we don't find an artifact in that MV slot that fulfills that purpose.

For our Win Conditions, this deck primarily functions as a Combo deck. We have a few ways to get there, so let's look at those.

One of the most straightforward, and least likely to happen, is Darksteel Reactor.

Just wait 20 turns and win. Easy, obviously. In all seriousness, we have a few options that plan on stalling the game as long as possible, and Contagion Engine as our main way to proliferate. It's expensive and clunky, but that's kind of the point of the deck, in a sense.

Most of our other win conditions are tied to Krark-Clan Ironworks, a staple of artifact-centric combo decks.

One of the easiest combo to achieve is, using our Commander'a ability, Myr Retriever > Junk Diver > Krark-Clan Ironworks. While this, by itself, is not a combo yet, this sets up multitude of way to achieve infinite mana with cards like Cloud Key, Semblance Anvil or Slagstone Refinery. You can then use that infinite mana to win in a couple ways, like blowing up the board with infinite castings of Spine of Ish Sah, Darksteel Forge + Nevinyrral's Disk + Mycosynth Lattice, or using your infinite sacrifice loop for a infinite tokens with Summoner's Station or infinitely big dork with Daring Archeologist.

Another Combo-y path is Untappers and Ability doublers for our Fiddlebender. While I don't have Rings of Brightheart in the deck, it would feel right at home here. Using cards like Illusionist's Bracers to double our artifact yield, and untappers like Umbral Mantle and Thousand-Year Elixir to more rapidly progress through our artifact ladder will provide more explosive turns and faster combos. Knoe, however, that the deck can struggle to produce the colored mana necessary for those explosive turns, so focus on Mana Rocks that produce colored mana

Now, my version of the deck is not optimal. There is plenty of cards that would work great in that deck, so let's list a few of my favorite ones.

Mishra's Self-Replicator is another win condition for when we reach infinite mana, and by providing expendable copies of a 5-mana artifact, it allows us to easily reach the top of oir artifact curve through Oswald.

Rings of Brighthearth is a powerful combo enabler, is easily tutorable by our wide selection of 2-drop artifacts, and allows us to spend more colorless mana for more artifacts.

Portal to Phyrexia is a pretty hot addition to our top line, currently dominated by Darksteel Forge.

Since we already have Summoner's Station in the deck, we could go full theme and grab Grinding Station, Salvaging Station, and Blasting Station to have the full combo and win with style.

Altar of the Brood is an innocious addition that would provide us with possibly the cheapest path to victory, mana wise.

If you hate everyone at your table, Possessed Portal is a card that will make that abundantly clear (Fun Fact: It is my understanding that you can still Dredge with this card in play. Do with that information what you will).

That's mostly it for my little tour of my Mono-white Artifact Sacrifice deck, helmed by Oswald Fiddlebender. Hopefully, this will make you interested in trying the deck! I will return with another installement with my next deck in WUBRG order, skipping Blue, and going to monoblack from a Universe Beyond, thanks to The Mind Flayer.

Simplicity. That's what we look for in a #beautifuldeck . A simple structure that serves a purpose without being to over the top. When we start talking about adding 20k rails , and 20k floors ....... you've lost our attention. At @kongarmor we know how to make simple beautiful . ...... We know how to make simple tough . We know how to make simple something to behold. We're #deckarmorpainters #deckrestorationpainters #deckrescuepainters We work with what you have , sure , we can replace things for you. Sure we repair things as well. But our goal is to take what you already own , and turn it into a ultra tough - #armor #encapsulated #dropdeadgorgeous #deck or #structure And we always meet that goal. And what we've found is ; For most people , simple is enough. Infact, more than enough. #deckpainters #cincinnati #northernkentucky #deckresurfacingideas #compositealternatives #peelingdeckpaintlockdown #peelingdeckpaintremovalideas #deckcolorideas #decktechs #deckcolorssummer #backyardlife #decklife #deckrestorationpainting #deckthickpaint #industrialdeckcoating #toughfilmtechnology #uvblock #waterlock #splinterlocktechnology #mildewblock #kongarmordotcom (at Cincinnati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CezYFUMpii3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
