Title: Build the Ultimate Godzilla Commander deck
Post by: ApothecaryGeist on June 19, 2020, 06:23:20 pm

If you were to put all of the Godzilla cards into a Commander deck, what would you build?


It has to include all 17 of the Godzilla cards.


But who is your commander?  What else is in the deck?  You tell me.


For reference, here are the Godzilla cards:


Brokkos, Apex of Forever (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Brokkos%2C+Apex+of+Forever)
Everquill Phoenix (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Everquill+Phoenix)
Gemrazer (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Gemrazer)
Gyruda, Doom of Depths (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Gyruda%2C+Doom+of+Depths)
Hangarback Walker (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Hangarback+Walker)

I would use either Niv-Mizzet Reborn (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Niv-Mizzet+Reborn) for practicality, or Progenitus (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Progenitus) for flavor. Then I would include a lot of fight cards like Guild Feud (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Guild+Feud) and Ulvenwald Tracker (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ulvenwald+Tracker), to make it seem like the monsters are fighting against my opponent's forces.

Finishing touch: land destruction, to make it seem like they are destroying the city.

I would go with either Golos, Tireless Pilgrim (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Golos%2C+Tireless+Pilgrim), or Jodah, Archmage Eternal (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Jodah%2C+Archmage+Eternal). This way you can just play some awesome monster smack down.

I'd probably make Ramos, Dragon Engine (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ramos%2C+Dragon+Engine) the commander since he is a giant robot.  I'd want to recreate the feel that the kaiju are recklessly dealing damage as they stomp around:

Haphazard Bombardment (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Haphazard+Bombardment)
Warstorm Surge (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Warstorm+Surge)
Whelming Wave (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Whelming+Wave)

And also targeted land destruction... only for reliquary tower (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Reliquary+Tower), command tower (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Command+Tower), temples, etc. Basically any land that is a building I want to be able to destroy.

I'd also go with Golos, tireless pilgrim (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Golos%2C+Tireless+Pilgrim). Jodah is good but you'd have to already draw into a lot of the big monsters and their costs are about the same. Ramos, dragon engine (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Ramos%2C+Dragon+Engine) would be good because if you run Kurkesh, onakke ancient (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Kurkesh%2C+Onakke+Ancient) with him then you'd get 4x WUBRG from his activation (Which is A LOT of MANA). Or when in doubt run Morophon, the boundless (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Morophon%2C+the+Boundless) and declare either "Nightmare (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Nightmare)" or "Dinosaur" to try and capture the majority of the tribes for the maximum cost reduction.
