John_Sherwood 3 years{"ops":[{"insert":"@outrage made a great point about the first version of your deck and focusing on a mechanic. That version was like a fridge full of leftovers. The new version of your deck looks like you started to clean out the fridge, but decided to keep desert and throw out your salad. You have some cards that will probably just fill space in your hand, and you don't have enough lands.\n\n29 lands is a recipe for frustration, especially in a three color deck with an average mana value over 3. \n\nI would start by cutting Gavi, Astral Slide and Decree of Justice. You have 2 cards that care about cycling, but only one card with a cycling ability.\n\nI would also cut Emeria Angel, Walking Atlas and Retreat to Coralhelm. Sure, they're combo pieces with a bounce land, but only one of them is a payoff. You have really low odds of assembling this combo, and it doesn't even guarantee you a win. \n\nIf you replace these recommended cuts with lands, then the pile of cards starts to look like a functional deck.\n"}]}

outburst 3 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Hey River!\n\nI was looking over your combo breaker deck, and I'm also confused about what you are trying to do. I feel like the commander of this deck doesn't get to flourish to its fullest potential. Kykar would be more of a swarm with so many spirits and use anthem effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glorious Anthem"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spear of Heliod"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Force of Virtue"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glory of Warfare"}},{"insert":" to buff your spirits and swing for lots of damage. You could also use "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rage Reflection"}},{"insert":" & "},{"insert":{"card-link":"True Conviction"}},{"insert":" to give them double strike and lifelink. I think that there is a bit too many mechanics in this deck. Also, I see landfall, some cycling, and extra turns. I would try and focus on a specific mechanic and master it to flourish and win games. Honestly, I would start fresh this deck doesn't have many combos that synergize together. If you are going artifact combo, you can use commander spellbook to see what artifacts can do insane combos. I have a breya deck on my page with the list of combos I run if you would like to see some!\n\nLMK if you have any other questions!\nOutburst \n"}]}
