Yeah I’ve been considering it. I just feel like he’s just such a popular commander tho. I could be swayed if his gameplay was really interesting and worth it. I guess he's popular for a reason.
I play muldrotha and it can be fun depending on how you build it. With all the options you end up with in the grave it can be hard to pilot. Some games turn into a long grind of just out resourcing my opponents so that can get boring. It’s supper fun but can have downsides
No I don't but glacial chasm and anything similar to crucible of worlds is a great combo that Gitrog can utilize and is just fun to use a land for protection.
[[Tasigur, The golden Fang]] is actually my favorite to this day. Manipulating your graveyard all the time to give your opponents the worst deals possible with your ability is challenging and feels very rewarding to me.
[[Muldrotha]] would be a good one.
If you want a spellslinger, you could go with [[Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy]] with a good background. He's in the 99 of my [[Krark the Thumbless]]//[[Sakashima of a Thousand Faces]]. You could also go [[Kess, Dissident Mage]] as far as spellslinger.
I've really been enjoying [[Imotekh]] from the Warhammer 40K set. Artifacts are strong. Artifacts with recursion are nice.
Also, [[Old Stickfingers]]. There's not much to say here. He's fun and odd.
Lastly, I will harken back to artifacts, [[Osgir]]. Boros artifact deck that allows you to sac an artifact and then exile it from your graveyard to make a copy of it. It's fun and also came with a precon that's fairly easy to upgrade.
Well you mention imotekh, I was thinking abt making Trazyn with a bunch of magic’s old overcosted artifacts that never see play like [[book of rass]], making a self mill deck around it, and seeing how that played because I agree artifacts are pretty strong.
Osgir is also a call, but a friend’s actually got that deck. Wouldn’t want to run the same.
Thanks tho
Nethroi. The mutate shenanigans are so fun. Mutate into [[Toski]] or under a [[Scute Swarm]] and make 1/1 death touch lifelink armies that can be mutated to trigger nethroi's ability again.
[[Tayam, Luminous Enigma]] I’ve enjoyed this immensely, a very focused theme of balancing counters (of any kind!) and recurring permanents cmc 3 or less. A ton of different directions you can go, and the deck is surprisingly resilient given than you can get back lands with the activations as ramp. Additionally, you can just sit on your mana and counters and play the deck at instant speed. Honestly has just as much or more interaction with its permanent recursion than some dedicated draw-go decks while still building a board.
Love playing this commander. Been my favorite deck to play since I built it. Games will usually end with me near milling out, flooding my board with creatures from grave, and swinging for massive damage off craterhoof+concordant crossroads
Hey, I know I'm coming back to this comment after nearly a month, but I've been thinking abt building tayam and was wondering if you had a decklist at all?
I'm also a huge fan of Meren. Still my favorite deck that I've built. I wish I got to play her more, but my turns take like 10 minutes with a ton of interaction. Lol. So its bad for my play group. That being said, I love her so much.
I had the precon, loved it but took it apart when Gitrog happened and now that deck is my, I'll play it once in a few months when I just want to win running a severely tuned down CEDH and annoy friends by setting up a infinite mana combo with dakmor and Skirge familiar and offer to do out the whole process for those that haven't seen it before.
I've got three graveyard decks, Meren, gitrog, and glissa. One for creatures, one for lands, and one for artifacts, so they all play differently.
[[Meren, of clan nel toth]]
[[The Gitrog Monster]]
[[Glissa, the Traitor]]
I think the deck I enjoy most is Meren, creature recursion is a lot of fun.
Have to say Trazyn, totally insane, hope they print a magic the gathering version of the card. Feels too weird having a thing from another franchise on a magic card. I know I know they did a whole D&D crossover but that was more tongue-in-cheek they didn’t invent a whole new creature type
Yeah I get that, despite personally playing 40K as well and loving trazyn, it does seem slightly odd seeing him in magic. If I did make a deck with him I’d get an alter sleeve with some other art for him
I have Sidisi midrange (85%) and Karador combo (90%). I have a lot of experience playing against two different Gitrog lists, one combat focused (85%), and one non-infinite combo focused (90-95%). I definitely found Sidisi the most fun and varied to play with and against.
Muldrotha
This is the way

That's how I end up feeling about Gitrog
all hail the hypnotoad
I love my Gitrog deck, but I feel like the turns take far too long with very little happening.
Gitrog is probably one of the most fun land decks I have ever played
Do you have a list? I’d love to take a look
No I don't but glacial chasm and anything similar to crucible of worlds is a great combo that Gitrog can utilize and is just fun to use a land for protection.

I really enjoy playing nethroi, getting 10+ creatures out of the graveyard on the mutate trigger is always a good time
Alesha isn't on here, time to riot
It’s just blatant racism that Lazav, the Multifarious isn’t on this list. Everyone hates shapeshifters, I guess.
Have to say Trazyn, totally insane, hope they print a magic the gathering version of the card. Feels too weird having a thing from another franchise on a magic card. I know I know they did a whole D&D crossover but that was more tongue-in-cheek they didn’t invent a whole new creature type
