Deck Reviews / {EDH/Commander} Angus Mackenzie combo deck

« on: October 29, 2018, 04:18:17 pm »

So with the help of a few of you i came up with this deck and i was hoping to get some advise i want to slim down on the planeswalkers i want elspeth ugin mu jace the mind sculptor 1 other jace 1 ajani and tezzeret for certain any help with this would be amazing the brago thassa package with karmic guide and eternal witness is a must i refuse to lose that but will compromise on losing mulldrifter or cloudblazer but only 1 of them.  I am willing to give up the avenger of zendikar triumph/craterhoof win con if anyone gives me a sick 2-3 card infinite combo that uses no cards i already have as combo pieces and a combo that uses at least 1 existing card from one of the combos.  I would add gaia's cradle but this deck is already over the budget i had previously set for at and as such would like to add 1-3 more ramp cards that will keep it with $50 over what it already is if possible however i own 4 jace the mindsculptors and 1 angus mackenzie so some of the more expensive cards are in my possession if needed i will waive this $50 restriction.  I have proxied this deck and play tested it and it is much better had i had expected and as such i want this to jump from semi-competitive to competitive.  For more info read the description in the deck list please i want to buy what i don't have and i don't want to buy cards that don't go into the final list.  (This is the most fun i've ever had with a deck that is at its current power level and i really really wanna make it my main deck.)

That is awesome advice now i got to find some balance too i want another way to win if possible as well Azor's Elocuters are the main go to win con and this is the part of the deck i find the hardest from what i want.

I was planning on having a solid ramp i was going to use the green for that mostly to help thin the deck a bit too with cards like tooth and nail and the other green tutors that search for creatures cuz of azor's elocutors being a creature and i'd want that asap.  I love the beacon combo i definitely feel that would be important to include.

I was going through my cards and i found a commander Angus Makenzie and i found Azor's Elocutors and and i was thinking this could be extremely fun so i was thinking if people would give me input on cards that can help make it possible as the main win condition.  Basically if anyone would give me a list of cards they think could help I'd appreciate it if you make a deck list i want this to be a potential or main win con with 2-3 alternative win conditions and i want to have it under $900 in no way am i expecting it to be competitive so do not go into it with this mind set unless you know of a way to do so already.
 
The first cards that came to mind are fog lull and cyclonic rift i would like this included if possible.

When i think of power level I think in 5 terms:
Fun- can steal games but only like 1-2% of them
Casual- It has some synergies but not many.
focused- has a fleshed out game plan but is general slow.
Semi competitive- Can compete with competitive if piloted well
Competitive- usually has one infinite combo or ways to shut down combos as well as has heavy tech.

Now this deck is like in between casual and focused and i wanna get it to the hard focused.  In now way will this game plan actually be competitive i want more competitive.

Oh good, you brought up Crawlspace, which is good for explaining how combating the meta works.

Crawlspace is super good against decks that try to attack with many creatures in one turn. However, it is absolutely useless against decks that only attack with one creature (Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder, Zurgo Helmsmasher) and decks that don't win through attacking (Azami, Lady of Scrolls, Teferi, Temporal Archmage).

  In my examples i was only using the most common plays with it however its in all of my combo mill decks because i need my stuff to survive to my next turn to go off and thats the games where it hands down wins because i can play my combo pieces in the end phase before my turn.
When you try to tech against your meta, you need to asses the best cards to beat your meta. If you're facing down decks like Azami, Teferi, and Yidris, it would be better to use artifact-hate like Null Rod, Root Maze, and Stony Silence. If you don't tech against these decks, you will lose... often.

A similar situation applies to Vedalken Orrery here. If the people you play with aren't teching against artifacts (SIDE NOTE: every commander deck should have at least 3 forms of artifact removal) then you are bound to win the turn after you play Vedalken Orrery.

Speaking of which, how do you do that? The examples you gave in the first post show that it's good, but none of those actions are game-winning.

I'm just looking for ideas to change this deck so i can have a more competitive version as well and was hoping to compare that ideas i have with any suggestions you may have to help there is a description to read if you need to understand the basic ideas of cards i am planning on at least 5 tutors   This deck does use snow lands because of drift of the dead but that can easily be changed if you know of a better high toughness defender i don't have in the list and the snow lands would follow suit.

I didn't mean it literally wins the game but i noticed i win more games when i get to take advantage of it versus when i don't get to use it.

I want to try making a deck with the dredge mechanic in as much use as possible with a splash of blue or white and i was wondering if theres any reliable deck ideas or combos that anyone might have.
I've never made dredge so i have no idea where to start.
If this is not solid cuz i feel like you need more than 1 copy of the dredge cards just let me know i honestly don't know if dredge could be good.
