MY FIRST COMMANDER :)

 avatar
{"ops":[{"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/14475377/imortals\nhi all\nthis is the first commander that i have built on my own and there are a couple of things that i have just thrown in there to kind of patch a gap. I would really love some honest feedback and maybe some suggestions to maybe make it work smoother. my idea is to create a lot of bounce back with a lot of dup triggers from creatures leaving and returning to the field. I started off wanting to make something around Vito, righteous Valkyrie and Valkyries call. everything has Beene built around this to functionally drain opponent but have found a lot of ways to keep creatures on the field at all times. I took Neva to fetch any enchantments out that were sent to the graveyard. but if there is a better commander that can do this without have to be sacrificed each time, I'm all ears. although it would have to be orzhov.\n\nI thank you for taking the time if you choose to read and offer some advise.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I agree with darkconfidnt, Elas il-Kor or Zoraline would be better commanders for your strategy. Most of their other card recs are good too. \n\nYour deck does not have enough lands. There's a lot of online debate around this issue, but the simple truth is play more lands = play more "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Magic"},{"insert":". 36 lands is in frequent mulligan territory, and with your mana curve, you will regularly miss land drops and get mana screwed. In a deck with average MV above 3, I wouldn't go lower than 38. People better than me at math would tell you 42 is the ideal land count.\n\nYour mana base is also slowing your tempo. 1- and 2-color lands that enter tapped are almost always worse than a basic. Cut Crossroads Village, Mirage Mesa and Orzhov Guildgate. Kabira Crossroads and Scoured Barrens are probably ok because your deck has life gain triggers, but you don't have any synergy with Forlorn Flats.\n\n If you want Valkyrie's call to be your top end, then I recommend playing less angels. Over a third of the creatures currently in your deck won't trigger Valkyrie's Call. It's a 5-drop; that much mana investment deserves more payoff.\n"}]}
