{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello everyone,\n\nI’d love to get some feedback on this deck:\n"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/22943677/raphael_fiendish_savior_commander"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/22943677/raphael_fiendish_savior_commander"},{"insert":"\n\nMy goal is to build a casual Commander deck around Raphael, Fiendish Savior, roughly at Bracket 2 power level (no Game Changers, no overly oppressive combos, etc.).\nThe cards in the Sideboard are cards that I’m currently not considering because they feel too strong for the power level I’m aiming for, or because they’re outside my budget.\nThe Maybeboard contains cards I’m considering, but I’m also open to any suggestions for additions, cuts, or improvements.\nDo you think the deck looks balanced for casual play? Are there any cards that seem underwhelming or any obvious inclusions I may have missed?\n\nThanks in advance for your help!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Well, if you´re aiming for Bracket 2 there is little to worry about. As is the deck could use some additional card draw / ramp and interaction (especially mass removals) but doesn´t desperately needs them.\nIf at any point you´re dissatisfied with it and / or want to aim at Bracket 3, I would mainly suggest (besides more draw / ramp / interaction) to pick a lane for how you want to trigger your commander (and if this a goal you want to achieve): Either you choose the sacrifice my creatures - or the I discard my creatures route.\nBoth have different requirements and want specific build-arounds; \nlike for example, if you want to sacrifice creatures the deck needs sac outlets that work at instant speed like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Umbral Collar Zealot"}},{"insert":" as well as creatures that either want to die like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Junji, the Midnight Sky"}},{"insert":" or don´t stay dead like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nether Traitor"}},{"insert":". In this case you want cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Morbid Opportunist"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pitiless Plunderer"}},{"insert":" to take further advantage of it.\nOn the other side, if you choose the discard route, you need repeatable outlets like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Key to the City"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hazoret's Monument"}},{"insert":" as well as payoff cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Monument to Endurance"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Inti, Seneschal of the Sun"}},{"insert":" / "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Archfiend of Ifnir"}},{"insert":". \n"}]}
