Alrighty bois, it's me, Mr. Wishy-Washy again.
With the Mardu deck being spoiled (
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/ruthless-regiment-full-decklist-reveal-exclusive-commander-2020-preview), I am faced with the decision in terms of what to do with Alesha (link in my sig is my current list). I've been tinkering with a list built around the mardu partner commanders, Silvar, Devourer of the Free and Trynn, Champion of Freedom, but it's just not clicking.
https://deckstats.net/decks/120669/1602319-silvar-devourer-of-the-free-tr/enI think I like being able to constantly sacrifice and recur creatures (which Alesha is obviously good at) more than the slow trickle of human tokens generated by Trynn. While Silvar's sacrifice ability is potent, I think Humans as a tribe is still too weak as an Aristocrats deck in particular (CleanBelwas, you're the resident Aristocrats expert, what's your take on this?)
So I may not be building a dedicated Human Aristocrats deck, but there are still cards that can go into Alesha, maybe giving the deck an eensy bit of Human synergies. I'm looking at these cards that have been reprinted in the Mardu deck:
General's EnforcerThalia's LieutenantXathrid NecromancerSpecies Specialist (can choose Goblin if I have
Sling-Gang Lieutenant, etc.)
Flawless ManeuverSanctuary Blade Bastion of RemembranceMolten Echoes (just like
Species Specialist, can choose goblin if I so desire)
Path of Ancestry (for another of my decks)
I won't outright buy
Sol Ring,
Arcane Signet,
Command Tower, and
Skullclamp but will welcome them if I
do grab the precon deck.
With these cards in mind, do y'all think I should just buy these cards individually, buy the deck for them, or what? I'm really worried about wasting $10-20 because I want to pick up
Ravos, Soultender;
Recruiter of the Guard;
Goblin Bombardment; etc. and I'm a pretty cheap player, so $20 is a lot to me.
