[EDH / Commander] Commanderp Cats REBUILD

[CardAgain Sweater]

Commanderp Cats REBUILD

A rebuild of the C17 Feline Ferocity deck. Most of the value comes from the 5 or so cards from the prebuild that have spiked.

Not meant for competitive edh, just a combat-based deck that can kinda fit into several power levels - good at many tables, not going to dominate many, if any.

Only played it once, but it was really fun. 14 Bloodstained Battleaxes all equipped and swinging was funny.

Multiple commander choices seems cool, only ran under arabho, and never cast him.

I think I have to make room for 2 more lands. The "starting hands" I've been trying are speaking to me.

I would recommend Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares. I'm assuming you're only not running the other swords of x and y because you dont have them? And one card that really jumped out as being out of place is skullclamp. Is there any reason you're running it? The list doesnt seem to be the kind of deck that uses skullclamp.

Nature's Lore is also a good ramp spell. I'd recommend at least 10-12 pieces of ramp. http://www.wizardscupboard.com/wordpress/mana-in-edh-part-2-choosing-the-correct-ramp-package/
This article is very helpful for picking out ramp. Also I'd run at Eternal Witness or Noxious Revival (possibly both) and Riftsweeper. Autumn's Veil is a good choice since you have no counterspells in your colors.

You are absolutely right on skullclamp; it just ended up in there as I was building the deck and got lost when I was weeding out the weakest cards for the strategy.  Not that skullclamp is a weak card, but as you said, this is not a deck to optimize the card - not nearly enough 1 toughness creatures or counters to kill through equipping to net the two draws. It's #1 on the cut list.

Your other points on adding some more interaction like swords to plowshares or path to exile make good sense. As to the other 'swords of x & y' not being present, yep - it's just because I dont have them. The sword of body and mind is in there just because I pulled an Invention masterpiece copy from a prize pack. I figure why not use it here; I dont play modern, so if I want to find a home for it, it's edh or casual only. I haven't even drawn it yet, let alone cast it, but I'm excited for the first time I do even though it's probably one of the weakest 'sword of x & y'.

This is listed as a finished deck, not WIP, but it very much is open for improvement and change as I get a chance to take it out for games. It doesnt have a gotcha combo, or anything super broken; I'm shooting for a fair and fun deck and your suggestions fit that description. Thanks for your constructive criticism on my idea!
