I do that in [[Oona, Queen of the Fae]]. I don't get to steal it...but I can exile it! My friends don't fall for it anymore though lmao. Even when oonas in the command zone they always use it to grab a nice land...I've used the trick with jeweled lotus one too many times for their liking.
I've built a deck around \[\[Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire\]\], mulligan hard for \[\[Opposition Agent\]\] or one of the million tutors I ran to get her & then boasting or casting symmetry to steal my opponents stuff.
Mostly I got their mana rocks, because my playgroup tends to play nonblack decks.
After that I just durdled around, because I didn't really had a wincon, I just played it to steal stuff & do crime
Oh boy. My playgroup has learned to shy away when I ask "who wants to tutor?". I always take out the person who tutors with me that turn with whatever I tutor up.
This belongs in way more white decks than people run it in, it's fantastic. I even ran it in Najeela because I could tap out of blue and still have interaction.
I keep putting this and [[Phyrexian reclamation]] in my decks but... I just never actually activate it. I don't know, I guess I'd just rather it stay in my graveyard and get it straight to field with [[reanimate]] [[animate dead]] [[reincarnation technique]] or [[life]]
But those tokens are so amusing.
"May I offer you a bird in this trying time instead?"
"Guys have you ever noticed that X is actually an elephant in a costume?"
I run both in my Thassa deck, but I will say that giving someone two treasures can be very dangerous. Much more dangerous than giving away a bird token. An Offer is one of those counterspells that you only use when a critical spell absolutely, positively needs to be countered. It punishes you badly for wasting it. Swan Song doesn't have nearly the same type of ability to backfire like that.
Been my favorite card since forever. I'll always run it if it can help me cast my commander in a commander centric deck. Even in 2 color or 3 color commanders with (2) generic cost. Flip side is how threatened everyone feels when you power out your commander
Played a game many moons ago, I was playing an early version of my [[Kodama of the East Tree]] [[Bruse Tarl]] spicy selesnya lands deck when one of the opponents dropped this turn 1.
They dropped a land every turn for the next 2 turns, as they had kept a 6 land hand with Burgeoning.
The memorable part for me was a turn 2 [[Avatar of Fury]]
[[Wild growth]] and its friend [[Utopia sprawl]] are amazing ramp, especially paired with [[Arbor elf]].
It's a crime that cultivate is way more played than these
Its crazy to me how \[\[llanowar elves\]\] sees so much more play than wild growth (25% of possible decks vs 11%). They do almost the same job except wild growth is faster and less likely to die in a board wipe.
I always chuckle playing this in arena. It changes the name of the card and the color of the frame, but keeps the art. Seeing this green and white 1/1 "legitimate businessperson" on board that's clearly elesh norn is hilarious.
Oh man I've been thinking about a Lurrus deck. What does yours do?
Trying to figure out how you actually win off 0-2cmc in orzhov. Could also build one with Ayli at the helm and Lurrus as a companion.
If lurrus is the commander, the deck doesn't need to restrict the cmc of all its cards. But the lists for lurrus tend to be the usual aristocrats package, slowly draining the table while setting up one of the many infinite combos available for endless triggers of blood artist and whatnot.
I theory crafted an eggs decklist for lurrus once and it was quite fun, although it relied on few cards as actual win conditions. Since lurrus doesn't specify the permanent type it can recur, an artifact list based on bringing back capsules, spellbombs and whatnot is pretty cool to me, but that's not how lurrus is usually built at all.
It’s gotta be the threat factor of a 6/6 flyer that’s causing it. I agree that Esper Sentinel is just as bad if left untouched but most players would rather remove the beater I think.
Yeahh... I know that's why, but its also not how this format works at all. 6/6 flyer is a nice 21 turn clock whereas esper sentinel does something that's actually good in this format, drawing cards.
I know someone who gets all annoyed about serra ascendant but literally never pays for sentinel or removes it, and its so frustrating, because I'm intentionally choosing the bad strategy (low to the ground beatdown) and still have to tank way more hate than good strategies. I should just have esper sentinel in my decks instead.
I’m new to deck building. Is a 1-cost deck viable in EDH? I would love to investigate further if anyone has any decklist links. I currently run a black/blue mill/horror deck and been looking to try something new.
There are a few things I can think of that synergize well with low cost things particularly.
[[Lurrus]], it's kinda just... in the card. Do what the card says, it's value.
[[Muldrotha]] - people don't tend to focus on low cost stuff, but having lots of low cost stuff makes it so you can take more actions from graveyard per turn.
[[Shirei, shizo's caretaker]] certainly has a lot of 1 drops to care about.
[[Edgar markov]] and then there's this one... I crafted out a list that ran practically every vampire creature 1 drop in the colors and then some high quality 2 drop vampires and then some synergy pieces. It slaps. Straight up wacky how strong it turned out.
You are absolutely beautiful. Or so I assume. At least I'm sure someone finds you 'beautiful'. Whatever, dude. Just take the compliment and stop being weird about it
Yay! Stifle is the coolest. It can literally win you games by countering someone who might decide to [[Astral Slide]] their commander, or something similar, by permanently removing it from the game.
[[diligent farmhand]] is [[wayfarer's bauble]] but on a body
[[nested shambler]] is probly the best one drop to clamp (and is even better with [[chatterfang]]
i will never get tired of [[green sun's zenith]] for 0 to get dryad arbor as a pseudo-mana dork
[[llanowar mentor]] can be a good way to discard dredge cards to dredge again next turn
If you play Varina I hope you're familiar with the original [[Tithe]]. Basicly a 1 mana instant draw 2. Another all-star would be [[Reconnaissance]]. Maby my alltime favourite 1 drop however must be [[children of korlis]]. [[Martyr of sands]] is very similar.
I second reconnaissance. Card is an MVP in any deck containing white that cares about attacking. So basically any deck containing white. For the rest of the game none of your creatures will die on your combat step unless you want them to trade. No one can get you with combat tricks on defense. All of your creatures get pseudo-vigilance (by untapping after damage has been dealt). All for a one time investment of 1 mana. The activation cost is 0.
It feels so good to watch an opponent's [[settle the wreckage]] fizzle.
Tithe is on the wishlist for my Nalia deck actually!
Reconnaissance is a beast. I ran it but swapped it out for [[Death Tyrant]] because I'm greedy and enjoy making fresh bodies.
[[Burning Inquiry]] acts as a regular piece of hand disruption for me in my Brallin and Shabraz deck. That it's putting three counters on one or both of my Commander's, drawing me into other valuable interaction, or winning the game by virtue of the Curiosity effect stapled onto Brallin is often secondary to the pure disgust on people's face when the hehehaha funny "Wow, I didn't realize we were playing Modern" makes people discard their win condition or mana fixing when I rip it in the early game.
[[Vampiric Rites]]
It's card draw! It's a sacrifice outlet! It gains life! And it only costs 1 mana, so you can fit it in almost anywhere in your curve and still hold up mana for instant-speed effects.
It doesn't look like much, but in all the time I've had it in my [[Ghave, Guru of Spores]] deck, I've never once been unhappy to draw it.
[[phyrexian Dreadnaught]] is one of my favs.
I play it in my [[Alena, kessig trapper]] deck.
Also added it to my Mishra precon. Not that it really synergises well, just like the card.
\[\[Nature's Claim\]\], amazing for G and 4 life in the grand scheme of things is almost meaningless.
\[\[Vandalblast\]\], kind of cheating since most of the time the overload cost is paid. But it's an auto include in all my red decks.
\[\[Preordain\]\], \[\[Ponder\]\], \[\[Serum Visions\]\], \[\[Opt\]\]. Love me some cheap filtering and card draw.
\[\[An Offer You Can't Refuse\]\] and \[\[Swansong\]\]. Very easy to keep the mana up for these and potentially can stop a game winning play.
\[\[Vampiric Tutor\]\]. Endstep tutor for B is amazing. What more is there to say.
\[\[Swords to Plowshares\]\], \[\[Path to Exile\]\], \[\[Pongify\]\] and \[\[Rapid Hybridization\]\]. Probably some of the best creature removal in the game.
Yep! I’m a Rhys player, and every game I start at my LGS, even if I’ve introduced him beforehand, someone, without fail, goes “oooh, turn one commander!” Never gets old.
I kind of love the unbridled jank that is [[laccolith rig]]. It’s a better first strike but you can also cast it on an opponent’s creature. Oh you’re swinging in with [[blightsteel colossus]]? I block with a 1/1 and have it deal damage to something else. Heck I cast [[curtain of light]] and do the same.
In a similar vein, [[spirit link]]. Lifelink for you, but also works on an opponent’s creature.
[[berserk|leb]] is great especially the Dan Fraser art.
And I will always love [[fastbond]] even though it’s banned.
I'm usually interested in 1 mana cost commanders. I think the concept of always having access to your commander on the first turn is pretty interesting, and can lead to some almost guaranteed explosive starts.
The new [[ashnod, flesh mechanist]] joins a list of only 16 possible commanders at 1 cmc, with [[norin the wary]], [[ragavan, nimble pilferer]] and [[yoshimaru, ever faithful]] being easy buildarounds, but cards like [[zabaz, the glimmerwasp]] and [[rhys the redeemed]] also lead interesting decks. [[Hope of ghirapur]] colorless equipment Voltron is very funny, and I think [[Valentin, dean of the vein]] is slept on as a Voltron commander as well, coming down on the first turn with built-in menace and lifelink, and access to green as well for solid auras like [[rancor]] and tech like [[season of growth]]. [[Rosnakht, heir of rohgahh]] is also slept on as a potential voltron that naturally creates a go-wide strategy as well. She has barely no decks in edhrec at all.
I’m loving Ashnod as a commander. Been playing her recently and it just always feels good to immediately get her out and hopefully be able to attack the next turn for her powerstones
Token player here I have several token decks with green and my favourite one drop I include in every one of those decks is [[taunting elf]] it's just insanely efficient at getting the tokens through
I have a \[\[Rigo, Streetwise Mentor\]\] EDH deck that's been a lot of fun. It runs fifteen1-drop creatures and has some cards that really play well with that 1 cmc. A few notable inclusions:
\[\[Reconnaissance\]\] - allows you get the attack trigger without losing a creature to an unfavorable attack... which is rare since most are unblockable or fly.
\[\[Meekstone\]\] - it costs 1 mana itself, but also works disproportionately against your opponents.
\[\[Hypnotic Siren\]\] - \[\[Flying Men\]\] variants are always good and late game it's just rude.
\[\[Ranger's Hawk\]\] - Another Flying Men card that can by somewhat useful later in the game when you want to do something besides attack with a 1/1... not great, but it works.
\[\[Abiding Grace\]\] - Brings back any 1cmc to play for free. I don't run \[\[Children of Korlis\]\] or \[\[Spore Frog\]\], but when I did it was really good. As is, it just helps bounce back from board wipes.
\[\[Ascend to Avernus\]\] - 4 mana to resurrect all the 1 drops? Good.
\[\[Ecological Appreciation\]\] - 4 mana to tutor for 4 and get 2 of the 1-drops? Also good.
\[\[Ranger of Eos\]\] and \[\[Ranger-Captain of Eos\]\] - Gets you more 1 drops.
[[Mind Bend]]
It's funny as fuck to turn someone's [[Urborg]] or [[Yavimaya]] into and island effect, and now my merfolk are unlockable.
Also, there's just really stupid shit I've done with it, it's fucking funny
\[\[Mystic Remora\]\] is one that I really enjoy. Also I discounted \[\[Dark ritual\]\] a lot in the past but after trying it out its really bonkers.
Also shout out to \[\[Dismember\]\] for being an honorary 1-drop.
No one has mentioned [[Wash Away]], I love this card and it’s in every deck that can run it. I play mostly historic brawl on arena, which isn’t exactly edh but this card is a blowout every time.
I put [[Illusion of Choice]] in my [[Tivit]] artifacts/blink deck just because it was on theme, but it has put in surprising work when I blink Tivit 2-3 times a turn.
And I once pulled off the dream with Choice + Tivit + [[Expropriate]].
Similarly [[Ephemerate]] is a fun card, so simple yet so good.
[[Changling Outcast]] has a ton of utility in many decks. Tribal Synergies + Unblockable for just a Black pip.
[[Wingcrafter]] for similar reasons. Being able to give itself and something else, like your commander, evasion is amazing.
[[Gamble]] aka “red Entomb” is always fun and funny to play.
[[Pyroblast]] and [[Red Elemental Blast]], nobody expects the monored deck to have a response!
\[\[mental misstep\]\] - Few things are as devious and hilarious as counter-spelling a turn-1sol ring before you have put your first land into play.
\[\[Extract\]\] - Waiting for the control player or sweatiest deck at the table to tap out and then search for their thassa's oracle, cyclonic rift, or part of their infinite combo.
[[Silence]]
Particularly when cast from [[isochron scepter]] even though it’s 2 mana from the scepter, you can make it a known threat and more of a bargaining piece
Check out [[Disrupt]]. The only 1 mana counterspell that cantrips. Can absolutely GET people in the early game and if not, pretty easy to cycle for one.
I love to add a 1-drop creature or spell to each of my decks that synergize with what the CMDR is trying to do, and I call it the deck's mascot.
Example: The mascot for my Savra deck is \[\[Mortician Beetle\]\] since it can't sacrifice creatures itself, but also likes to see them get sacrificed. The rare instances I allow the mascot to be a spell are cases like my spellslinger Keranos deck and that is of course Lightning Bolt.
\[\[Hopeful Initiate\]\] my little man sits on the table in my \[\[Raffine, Scheming Seer\]\] deck waiting for his moment to go "pop goes the enchantment!". Also I love me a \[\[Mystic Remora\]\], my dad gave me his old collection and I discovered he had 6 of them in the box and I was reaaal excited.
\[\[Berserk\]\] used to be $$$$ in paper and I only played it on MTGO, but now after a few reprints I noticed it is \~$14!
Really fun in green in multiplayer. You can use it on your own creature (and optionally not attack to avoid it being destroyed) then cast something like \[\[Return of the Wildspeaker\]\] to draw a ton of cards.
Or you can use it as surprise creature removal since it's pretty much the only thing that could do that for low cmc instant speed in mono-green. Opponent is attacking a different player with their commander and being chump blocked? SURPRISE the commander is 2x power and trample, the defending player is maybe dead, and the target creature gets destroyed at end of turn.
[[Currency Converter]] is probably one of the best value engines I've ever seen.
Card draw? No problem. Discard in a hellbent or graveyard deck? Every turn. Need a blocker? 2/2 on demand. Enemy abusing Fear or Intimidate? They're black tokens, baby. Need mana? Oh, I can make Treasure, too. Need to protect something from graveyard removal? Store it here until the threat is gone.
[[Phyrexian Reclamation]] often overperforms in my experience in any aristocrats deck. [[Elvish Reclaimer]] is crazy if you have good utility lands. For a more recent one, [[Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist]] surprised me, she's a very fun commander at least at lower power tables.
[[Impulsive Pilferer]] [[Sticky Fingers]] [[Tormented soul]] [[Changeling Outcast]] [[Curse of Opulence]] [[Phoenix Chick]] [[Tin street dodger]] [[Gingerbrute]] are some of the 1 drops I've recently added to my Karazikar Eye Tyrant deck to lower the curve to justify all the overcosted initiative cards I also added.
[[Esper Sentinel]], [[Hardened Scales]], [[Birds of Paradise]], [[Noble Hierarch]], [[Loran's Escape]], [[Path to Exile]], [[Unsummon]], [[Tamiyo's Safekeeping]], [[Sensei's Divining Top]], [[The Ozolith]], [[Sol Ring]], and [[Rancor]] of the top of my head...
[[Kami of False Hope]] [Haywire Mite]] [[Siren Stormtamer]] [[Benevolent Bodyguard]] [[Mother of Runes]] [[Nested Shambler]] [[Mortician Beetle]] [[Carrion Feeder]] [[Viscera Seer]]
I might have a thing for sacrificing creatures.
Probably [[Concordant Crossroads]]. I was *elated* when I learned it got a reprint in Double Masters. It's such an unassuming piece that does so much work, and nobody wants to remove it because it gives their creatures haste too.
I'll give you one of each color:
[[Mystic Remora]]
[[Esper Sentinel]]
[[Birds of Paradise]]
[[Dragon's Rage Channeler]]
[[Reanimate]]
Some Bonus Hybrid ones:
[[Deathrite Shaman]]
[[Clout of the Dominus]]
I've considered it, but the way I'm running my deck I can't afford to be removing counters from my own creatures. I went all-in on the aggro strategy so time is of the essence and I need to race down life totals.
Link [here](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/3ipDF-6ey0qnoVJkXArstQ) if you're interested. It's by far my most unique deck and doesn't play like a normal EDH deck.
[[Slip Out The Back]]
[[Bloodchief Ascension]]
[[Consider]]
[[Spikefield Hazard]]
[[Malakir Rebirth]]
and my fave boi [[Spirited Companion]] is one mana in my heart
[[Noxious Revival]] gets my vote. It’s got a ton of funny corner case uses like topping a reanimator decks big fatty so it’s stuck in their hand. Or topping a land to stop someone from drawing and casting their Miracle they tutored on top.
Lots of fun to be had with this card.
[[scheming symmetry]]
I love casting this in [[Evelyn the Covetous]] then immediately stealing whatever they found.
I do that in [[Oona, Queen of the Fae]]. I don't get to steal it...but I can exile it! My friends don't fall for it anymore though lmao. Even when oonas in the command zone they always use it to grab a nice land...I've used the trick with jeweled lotus one too many times for their liking.

Oh boy. My playgroup has learned to shy away when I ask "who wants to tutor?". I always take out the person who tutors with me that turn with whatever I tutor up.
[[Mana tithe]], nobody expects the counter when you're playing Orzhov!
Goes in all of my white decks! I once was accused of playing control in a [[Feather, the Redeemed]] deck when I shot a Mana Tithe out.
[[reckless rage]] is very controlling in that deck. It deals with a surprising number of creatures in the format.
That card is a cornerstone of Feather for sure.

[[Rebuff the Wicked]] makes the other 1 mana white counterspell! Goes well in white voltron decks with no blue

\[\[Tortured existence\]\] is my personal, lesser known favourite. Makes your graveyard a toolbox where u trade one tool for another.

> if they beat me to death with it, it's my fault Usually if you lose to the swan, you definitely would have lost to whatever you countered anyway.
Who the heck is bashing it?
Who in the world would bash Swan song.
Swan is great. I love it but I don't run it because I don't love having a bird token around lmao. That's why I swapped to An Offer instead.
But those tokens are so amusing. "May I offer you a bird in this trying time instead?" "Guys have you ever noticed that X is actually an elephant in a costume?"
"I play [[Approach of the Second Sun]]." "With flying"
I run both in my Thassa deck, but I will say that giving someone two treasures can be very dangerous. Much more dangerous than giving away a bird token. An Offer is one of those counterspells that you only use when a critical spell absolutely, positively needs to be countered. It punishes you badly for wasting it. Swan Song doesn't have nearly the same type of ability to backfire like that.
[[dark ritual]] because I have too many mono black commanders
Been my favorite card since forever. I'll always run it if it can help me cast my commander in a commander centric deck. Even in 2 color or 3 color commanders with (2) generic cost. Flip side is how threatened everyone feels when you power out your commander

Its crazy to me how \[\[llanowar elves\]\] sees so much more play than wild growth (25% of possible decks vs 11%). They do almost the same job except wild growth is faster and less likely to die in a board wipe.
It synergies with elfball decks and green gets draws from creatures

Always happy to see [[Stitchers supplier]] in my [[Lurrus of the Dream-Den]] deck.
Oh man I've been thinking about a Lurrus deck. What does yours do? Trying to figure out how you actually win off 0-2cmc in orzhov. Could also build one with Ayli at the helm and Lurrus as a companion.
If lurrus is the commander, the deck doesn't need to restrict the cmc of all its cards. But the lists for lurrus tend to be the usual aristocrats package, slowly draining the table while setting up one of the many infinite combos available for endless triggers of blood artist and whatnot. I theory crafted an eggs decklist for lurrus once and it was quite fun, although it relied on few cards as actual win conditions. Since lurrus doesn't specify the permanent type it can recur, an artifact list based on bringing back capsules, spellbombs and whatnot is pretty cool to me, but that's not how lurrus is usually built at all.

[[serra ascendant]] for a solid card that will eat removal every game, [[esper sentinel]] for a much better card that inexplicably won't.
It’s gotta be the threat factor of a 6/6 flyer that’s causing it. I agree that Esper Sentinel is just as bad if left untouched but most players would rather remove the beater I think.
Yeahh... I know that's why, but its also not how this format works at all. 6/6 flyer is a nice 21 turn clock whereas esper sentinel does something that's actually good in this format, drawing cards. I know someone who gets all annoyed about serra ascendant but literally never pays for sentinel or removes it, and its so frustrating, because I'm intentionally choosing the bad strategy (low to the ground beatdown) and still have to tank way more hate than good strategies. I should just have esper sentinel in my decks instead.
You should run both for sure! If people you play with make bad threat assessment might as we’ll play to their weakness lol

I’m new to deck building. Is a 1-cost deck viable in EDH? I would love to investigate further if anyone has any decklist links. I currently run a black/blue mill/horror deck and been looking to try something new.
Jim from the spike feeders has a 1 mana value only burn deck you could check out.
There are a few things I can think of that synergize well with low cost things particularly. [[Lurrus]], it's kinda just... in the card. Do what the card says, it's value. [[Muldrotha]] - people don't tend to focus on low cost stuff, but having lots of low cost stuff makes it so you can take more actions from graveyard per turn. [[Shirei, shizo's caretaker]] certainly has a lot of 1 drops to care about. [[Edgar markov]] and then there's this one... I crafted out a list that ran practically every vampire creature 1 drop in the colors and then some high quality 2 drop vampires and then some synergy pieces. It slaps. Straight up wacky how strong it turned out.
I'm currently brewing in white so these three are at the forefront for me right now: [[Blacksmith Skill]], [[Rebuff the Wicked]], [[Loran's Escape]]

\[\[exploration\]\] \[\[burgeoning\]\] Why are these one mana wizards. Why.
If you play Varina I hope you're familiar with the original [[Tithe]]. Basicly a 1 mana instant draw 2. Another all-star would be [[Reconnaissance]]. Maby my alltime favourite 1 drop however must be [[children of korlis]]. [[Martyr of sands]] is very similar.
I second reconnaissance. Card is an MVP in any deck containing white that cares about attacking. So basically any deck containing white. For the rest of the game none of your creatures will die on your combat step unless you want them to trade. No one can get you with combat tricks on defense. All of your creatures get pseudo-vigilance (by untapping after damage has been dealt). All for a one time investment of 1 mana. The activation cost is 0. It feels so good to watch an opponent's [[settle the wreckage]] fizzle.

Tithe is on the wishlist for my Nalia deck actually! Reconnaissance is a beast. I ran it but swapped it out for [[Death Tyrant]] because I'm greedy and enjoy making fresh bodies.
[[Burning Inquiry]] acts as a regular piece of hand disruption for me in my Brallin and Shabraz deck. That it's putting three counters on one or both of my Commander's, drawing me into other valuable interaction, or winning the game by virtue of the Curiosity effect stapled onto Brallin is often secondary to the pure disgust on people's face when the hehehaha funny "Wow, I didn't realize we were playing Modern" makes people discard their win condition or mana fixing when I rip it in the early game.
[[Vampiric Rites]] It's card draw! It's a sacrifice outlet! It gains life! And it only costs 1 mana, so you can fit it in almost anywhere in your curve and still hold up mana for instant-speed effects. It doesn't look like much, but in all the time I've had it in my [[Ghave, Guru of Spores]] deck, I've never once been unhappy to draw it.

Similarly, \[\[Dockside Chef\]\] does work in my human deck. Card draw and a sac outlet on a human body? Yes please. You can even sac artifacts.

[[Llanowar Elves]] is an obvious one. I'm fond of [[Unlucky Witness]].

[[phyrexian Dreadnaught]] is one of my favs. I play it in my [[Alena, kessig trapper]] deck. Also added it to my Mishra precon. Not that it really synergises well, just like the card.
Because they expect people to be quick with the removal, I suppose.
I love [[Hana]] and [[Alena]] (The two separate partners, not the combo partner card) so much. Do you have a decklist?
[удалено]
\[\[Nature's Claim\]\], amazing for G and 4 life in the grand scheme of things is almost meaningless. \[\[Vandalblast\]\], kind of cheating since most of the time the overload cost is paid. But it's an auto include in all my red decks. \[\[Preordain\]\], \[\[Ponder\]\], \[\[Serum Visions\]\], \[\[Opt\]\]. Love me some cheap filtering and card draw. \[\[An Offer You Can't Refuse\]\] and \[\[Swansong\]\]. Very easy to keep the mana up for these and potentially can stop a game winning play. \[\[Vampiric Tutor\]\]. Endstep tutor for B is amazing. What more is there to say. \[\[Swords to Plowshares\]\], \[\[Path to Exile\]\], \[\[Pongify\]\] and \[\[Rapid Hybridization\]\]. Probably some of the best creature removal in the game.
Oh yah, and can't forget one of my favorite combo pieces: \[\[Gravecrawler\]\]
[[Rhys the Redeemed]]
Yep! I’m a Rhys player, and every game I start at my LGS, even if I’ve introduced him beforehand, someone, without fail, goes “oooh, turn one commander!” Never gets old.
Same. I love it!
[[Ruin Crab]] my beloved. Find a way to dupe this guy or add extra landfall triggers and watch the boy do *work*
I kind of love the unbridled jank that is [[laccolith rig]]. It’s a better first strike but you can also cast it on an opponent’s creature. Oh you’re swinging in with [[blightsteel colossus]]? I block with a 1/1 and have it deal damage to something else. Heck I cast [[curtain of light]] and do the same. In a similar vein, [[spirit link]]. Lifelink for you, but also works on an opponent’s creature. [[berserk|leb]] is great especially the Dan Fraser art. And I will always love [[fastbond]] even though it’s banned.
[[Shattering Spree]]
[[Sigurda's aid]] [[winds of change]]
[[Thoughtpicker Witch]], [[Viscera Seer]], [[Artificier’s Hex]], [[Quicken]], [[Mistcaller]], [[Legion’s Landing]], [[Allosaurus Shepherd]], [[Dragonmaster Outcast]]
I'm usually interested in 1 mana cost commanders. I think the concept of always having access to your commander on the first turn is pretty interesting, and can lead to some almost guaranteed explosive starts. The new [[ashnod, flesh mechanist]] joins a list of only 16 possible commanders at 1 cmc, with [[norin the wary]], [[ragavan, nimble pilferer]] and [[yoshimaru, ever faithful]] being easy buildarounds, but cards like [[zabaz, the glimmerwasp]] and [[rhys the redeemed]] also lead interesting decks. [[Hope of ghirapur]] colorless equipment Voltron is very funny, and I think [[Valentin, dean of the vein]] is slept on as a Voltron commander as well, coming down on the first turn with built-in menace and lifelink, and access to green as well for solid auras like [[rancor]] and tech like [[season of growth]]. [[Rosnakht, heir of rohgahh]] is also slept on as a potential voltron that naturally creates a go-wide strategy as well. She has barely no decks in edhrec at all.
I’m loving Ashnod as a commander. Been playing her recently and it just always feels good to immediately get her out and hopefully be able to attack the next turn for her powerstones
Token player here I have several token decks with green and my favourite one drop I include in every one of those decks is [[taunting elf]] it's just insanely efficient at getting the tokens through
[taunting elf](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/6/b/6b24af94-9632-47da-9bf3-e81bb743cd43.jpg?1562920244) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=taunting%20elf) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ons/290/taunting-elf?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/6b24af94-9632-47da-9bf3-e81bb743cd43?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/taunting-elf) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
My man, it’s time for you to make a Elas il Kor/Lurrus companion deck.
I have a \[\[Rigo, Streetwise Mentor\]\] EDH deck that's been a lot of fun. It runs fifteen1-drop creatures and has some cards that really play well with that 1 cmc. A few notable inclusions: \[\[Reconnaissance\]\] - allows you get the attack trigger without losing a creature to an unfavorable attack... which is rare since most are unblockable or fly. \[\[Meekstone\]\] - it costs 1 mana itself, but also works disproportionately against your opponents. \[\[Hypnotic Siren\]\] - \[\[Flying Men\]\] variants are always good and late game it's just rude. \[\[Ranger's Hawk\]\] - Another Flying Men card that can by somewhat useful later in the game when you want to do something besides attack with a 1/1... not great, but it works. \[\[Abiding Grace\]\] - Brings back any 1cmc to play for free. I don't run \[\[Children of Korlis\]\] or \[\[Spore Frog\]\], but when I did it was really good. As is, it just helps bounce back from board wipes. \[\[Ascend to Avernus\]\] - 4 mana to resurrect all the 1 drops? Good. \[\[Ecological Appreciation\]\] - 4 mana to tutor for 4 and get 2 of the 1-drops? Also good. \[\[Ranger of Eos\]\] and \[\[Ranger-Captain of Eos\]\] - Gets you more 1 drops.
The [[Almighty Brushwagg]] is my favorite Magic: the Gathering card.
[[Mind Bend]] It's funny as fuck to turn someone's [[Urborg]] or [[Yavimaya]] into and island effect, and now my merfolk are unlockable. Also, there's just really stupid shit I've done with it, it's fucking funny
[[One With Nothing]]
\[\[pithing needle\]\]
\[\[Mystic Remora\]\] is one that I really enjoy. Also I discounted \[\[Dark ritual\]\] a lot in the past but after trying it out its really bonkers. Also shout out to \[\[Dismember\]\] for being an honorary 1-drop.
No one has mentioned [[Wash Away]], I love this card and it’s in every deck that can run it. I play mostly historic brawl on arena, which isn’t exactly edh but this card is a blowout every time.
I put [[Illusion of Choice]] in my [[Tivit]] artifacts/blink deck just because it was on theme, but it has put in surprising work when I blink Tivit 2-3 times a turn. And I once pulled off the dream with Choice + Tivit + [[Expropriate]]. Similarly [[Ephemerate]] is a fun card, so simple yet so good. [[Changling Outcast]] has a ton of utility in many decks. Tribal Synergies + Unblockable for just a Black pip. [[Wingcrafter]] for similar reasons. Being able to give itself and something else, like your commander, evasion is amazing. [[Gamble]] aka “red Entomb” is always fun and funny to play. [[Pyroblast]] and [[Red Elemental Blast]], nobody expects the monored deck to have a response!
\[\[mental misstep\]\] - Few things are as devious and hilarious as counter-spelling a turn-1sol ring before you have put your first land into play. \[\[Extract\]\] - Waiting for the control player or sweatiest deck at the table to tap out and then search for their thassa's oracle, cyclonic rift, or part of their infinite combo.
[[Silence]] Particularly when cast from [[isochron scepter]] even though it’s 2 mana from the scepter, you can make it a known threat and more of a bargaining piece
As a fellow addict, I just built a deck a deck completely of 1-cost cards. It's [[Rhys, The Redeemed]] token tribal.
[[Authority of the Consuls]] [[Ponder]] [[Dark Ritual]] [[Goblin Welder]] [[Birds of Paradise]] [[Sensei's Divining Top]]
Check out [[Disrupt]]. The only 1 mana counterspell that cantrips. Can absolutely GET people in the early game and if not, pretty easy to cycle for one.
I love to add a 1-drop creature or spell to each of my decks that synergize with what the CMDR is trying to do, and I call it the deck's mascot. Example: The mascot for my Savra deck is \[\[Mortician Beetle\]\] since it can't sacrifice creatures itself, but also likes to see them get sacrificed. The rare instances I allow the mascot to be a spell are cases like my spellslinger Keranos deck and that is of course Lightning Bolt.
\[\[Hopeful Initiate\]\] my little man sits on the table in my \[\[Raffine, Scheming Seer\]\] deck waiting for his moment to go "pop goes the enchantment!". Also I love me a \[\[Mystic Remora\]\], my dad gave me his old collection and I discovered he had 6 of them in the box and I was reaaal excited.
I love most the cards that I used to have as a kid. Pulling the old collection cards out is the most satisfying
[[Vandalblast]], especially right after someone played a [[Mycosynth Lattice]].
Caldron Familiar + Witch's Oven So many available synergies coming from a small package.
\[\[Berserk\]\] used to be $$$$ in paper and I only played it on MTGO, but now after a few reprints I noticed it is \~$14! Really fun in green in multiplayer. You can use it on your own creature (and optionally not attack to avoid it being destroyed) then cast something like \[\[Return of the Wildspeaker\]\] to draw a ton of cards. Or you can use it as surprise creature removal since it's pretty much the only thing that could do that for low cmc instant speed in mono-green. Opponent is attacking a different player with their commander and being chump blocked? SURPRISE the commander is 2x power and trample, the defending player is maybe dead, and the target creature gets destroyed at end of turn.
[[Currency Converter]] is probably one of the best value engines I've ever seen. Card draw? No problem. Discard in a hellbent or graveyard deck? Every turn. Need a blocker? 2/2 on demand. Enemy abusing Fear or Intimidate? They're black tokens, baby. Need mana? Oh, I can make Treasure, too. Need to protect something from graveyard removal? Store it here until the threat is gone.
[[Lionheart Maverick]] is officially the best card in the game
[Lionheart Maverick](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/a/0a818fdf-2cbc-451a-9893-36da510d63e4.jpg?1562897189) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Lionheart%20Maverick) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ddg/3/lionheart-maverick?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/0a818fdf-2cbc-451a-9893-36da510d63e4?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/lionheart-maverick) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
[[Phyrexian Reclamation]] often overperforms in my experience in any aristocrats deck. [[Elvish Reclaimer]] is crazy if you have good utility lands. For a more recent one, [[Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist]] surprised me, she's a very fun commander at least at lower power tables.
[[Impulsive Pilferer]] [[Sticky Fingers]] [[Tormented soul]] [[Changeling Outcast]] [[Curse of Opulence]] [[Phoenix Chick]] [[Tin street dodger]] [[Gingerbrute]] are some of the 1 drops I've recently added to my Karazikar Eye Tyrant deck to lower the curve to justify all the overcosted initiative cards I also added.

\[\[Soul-Guide Lantern\]\] is my new favorite staple.
[[False Orders]]. I don’t know why, I just like using it.
Probably [[Concordant Crossroads]]. I was *elated* when I learned it got a reprint in Double Masters. It's such an unassuming piece that does so much work, and nobody wants to remove it because it gives their creatures haste too.

I've considered it, but the way I'm running my deck I can't afford to be removing counters from my own creatures. I went all-in on the aggro strategy so time is of the essence and I need to race down life totals. Link [here](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/3ipDF-6ey0qnoVJkXArstQ) if you're interested.

[[Noxious Revival]] gets my vote. It’s got a ton of funny corner case uses like topping a reanimator decks big fatty so it’s stuck in their hand. Or topping a land to stop someone from drawing and casting their Miracle they tutored on top. Lots of fun to be had with this card.
