I think it's very unlikely to get metalcraft. Ichor wellsprings are usually sacrificed quite soon after you get them out (to [[Makeshift Munitions]], [[Annihilating glare]] or [[Deadly Dispute]]) and Myr Servitors don't always come in multiples and are easy to kill. I suppose with more artifact lands you could get there, but that leaves you much more vulnerable to artifact hate.

That's cool to hear! I'm very new so I don't have a sense of history yet. It's going to be a fun ride!

I think carrion feed is a good idea, at least, but I would be careful about going too deep into pure sac outlets. The Groff and the Morkrut Behemoth are already doing double duty as good manifest targets and sac outlets (and decent topdecks). Higher creature density makes manifest better in general, though.

I worry that without sufficient card draw or filtering you can end up with some pretty dead hands. Perhaps [[Elven Farsight]] is a safe inclusion that will always be helpful and is great for setting up manifest, too.

I couldn't help myself. I threw together a decklist based on Sultai Emissary

True, commander is very popular for a reason. It does most of the cool and fun things in magic and can be played on a budget. I think Commander will become our main format and I'll provide loaner decks so that people don't feel pressured to buy one outright.

Thanks for the recommend! That sounds like a very nice way to play a fat stack type format since you don't have the tedium of finding lands.

I couldn't find the original article about it, but this page explains the basics well enough.

I see. There's probably some caching for the search function that doesn't contain absolutely everything at any given time (since that is rather intensive).

That's a cool flavour win!

Well, then.. I guess I got pranked when I found that comment by searching for [!chat@beehaw.org](/c/chat@beehaw.org)

Tolarian Community College did a video listing the most powerful commander cards in LTR and Bats was the top card. It has a huge edge over Blood Artist and the like since it drains life with treasure tokens (twice!), and token generation in general is very common in many decks. It's a must-answer card that slots into a ton of decks, not just sacrifice engine decks.

If I search for [!linux@beehaw.org](/c/linux@beehaw.org) I find this comment, but not the actual community

[[Isperia the Inscrutable]]

This is the only commander deck I've consistently kept around over the years. I don't remember how I discovered this card, but I think it's a neat ability and the commander itself feels flavourful and badass. I started playing during Return to Ravnica, which perhaps added a bonus feeling of "wow, it's the original Isperia!".

My deck isn't terribly good since I don't play Commander very competetively. I've tried to have sphinxes and stuff that feel badass and fitting for the deck instead of busted combos or whatever. [[Medomai the Ageless]] is a typical target to search for.

The only "combo" I can think of off the top of my head (been a while since I've played the deck) is [[Bruna, the Fading Light]] and [[Gisela, the Broken Blade]]. I think that combo is hilarious due to the name of the melded card: Brisela. We ship Brisela.
