Arthur big creature deck
Stutomac 3 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Just theory crafted a deck I'm working on to buy, the idea is to pull big creatures with arthur, discard them and play them from the graveyard. I have some extra combat phases and such. Check it out and please help me optimize. Im.looking to make a bracket 4 deck out of it. The name is listed as \"Big Trouble and Little Kinda\". Thanks!\n"}]}

Arthur needs a second creature to attack with, and you only have 7 creatures you can cast on curve ahead of Arthur. I could be mathing wrong, but I think your chance of drawing one of those creatures by turn 3 is less than 10%.\n\nOptimized (4) decks are consistent. You shouldn't have a problem playing on curve with 41 lands. I also think mana dorks are a good call for this deck because they can accelerate you or be available to attack the turn Arthur drops. I would cut several higher cost cards and add more low cost creatures that either have mana abilities or make treasures.

It feels like Arthur wants to cheat stuff into play by attacking; I don't get why you're adding an extra step that doesn't synergize with Arthur (perhaps another commander's a better fit?)\n[Edit: oh, Arthur puts the card into your hand after combat. Ok - thinking more]\n\nFWIW - Arthur puts the revealed card into play tapped and attacking, so you won't get many of the Eldrazi on-cast triggers\n"}]}
