I finally finished my "vacation" (courtesy of our Dear Leader) in the Southern Booger Mines and was able to review the last few sets.
Say hello to our newest friends*!
Gimli, Counter of Kills: Decent boardwipe dissuasion and adds a nice layer of extra damage to everything we're doing anyway.
Pain Distributor: Nice pressure in general due to the number of artifacts that leave play naturally, but also helps make Descent into Avernus more one-sided.
Fall of Cair Andros: Yes they are dirty Orcians, but with the amount of noncombat damage dealt by this deck the Army should have a strong board presence. Ties into Toralf, God of Fury Flip, the damage doublers/triplers, Skirk Fire Marshal, and Blasphemous Act very well.
There and Back Again: Has all the elements requested in Ib's latest agenda.
Maskwood Nexus: While not game-changing on it's own when it comes out, I think the fun factor of what it enables is worth testing out.
Mines of Moria: Not sure if this makes the cut, but it's easy enough to swap a land for a land for testing.
Say goodbye to these dishonorable discharges!:
(Your mother's baby name for you! - Ib Halfheart)
Professional Face-Breaker: Can't say I ever got the use the first ability due to how often my damage was non-combat, and is too spendy for a little bit of quasi-draw.
Rose Room Treasurer: Looks decent at face value, but didn't hold its weight in actual play.
Grenzo, Havoc Raiser: Not comfortable with this removal, so will be the first one that goes back in if any additions are sub par.
Rain of Riches: I think in a deck built to cascade better this would make a bigger impact, but all it really got me is two treasures for . Oof.
Big Score: Another hard decision, and likely to come back after testing. Either that or an actual draw engine of some sort?
Riveteers Overlook: My landbase has been pretty refined for a long time, so this was literally only used for the pretty inconsequential 1 life. Easy cut.
That's it for now. Let me know what you think!

Kaalia, help wanted

For sure, man, glad to help!
Yeah, this latest iteration is a big step forward. I think now would be a great time to discuss potential cuts.
First up, I'd definitely cut both True Conviction & Warstorm Surge under the basis that they can't be cheated out via your Commander, or retrieved from the graveyard once destroyed. Replacing them with things to streamline your strategy like Gamble, Diabolic Intent or Final Parting would be wise imo. Tutors that pair well with Reanimator are great.
Speaking of pairing well with Reanimator, I'd so recommend replacing some of your card draw pieces like Firemane Commando, Mangara, the Diplomat & perhaps even Bloodgift Demon with things that will draw you cards, ramp Treasures & feed your graveyard simultaneously upon resolution like Pirate's Pillage, Seize the Spoils & Big Score. Tectonic Reformation could also draw hella cards here, considering you're running 36 lands!
Personally I would cut both Taurean Mauler & Boros Charm for more Combo utility. Ancient Gold Dragon + Dragon Tempest will kill all of your opponents from 40 life if you roll like...a 12 or higher? I forget the math, but the fact that they're also just great cards for this Commander anyway make them worth considering. Also, I really can't overstate how powerful Ancient Copper Dragon is here, if you roll anything higher than like a 3 it gives a CRAZY advantage. Especially since you're running Revel in Riches & Hellkite Tyrant! You should just proxy it if you can't afford one lol, it's that good.
As far as getting your Commander on the field a bit faster...I'd suggest replacing Sword of the Animist with Chromatic Lantern & maybe adding a Jeweled Amulet as well.

Counter Spells & Draw Cards

This looks like a really fun commander! So, right off the bat, there's a cool way day/night interacts with this commander and your opponents: if you can force it to night consistently, you'll more heavily punish your opponents for playing spells, since they're going to switch it back to day and power up your commander. The easiest way to do that is by playing more instants / at flash speed.
Desperate Ravings / Thrill of Possibility / Big Score + Unexpected Windfall all help positively synergize with your "draw" effects like Ominous Seas and Teferi's Ageless Insight, and also help you trigger the day/night change by electing to play on other people's turns instead of your own.
Seize the Spotlight gets an honorable mention for being great, if you find the slot for it.
For cuts, I would consider: Pouncing Shoreshark (low impact)
Laboratory Maniac - Kind of an all-or-nothing strategy, and sounds like from your description that you'd rather win with combat.
Khenra Spellspear Flip - doesn't fit with commander, since you want to be able to force it to night whenever your turn rolls around.
Boon of the Wish-Giver - sorcery speed is kinda meh IMO - I imagine people will be trying to kill your commander before it makes this cost.
Mulldrifter - there are instants and sorceries that can draw more for the same cost.
Happy building!

Narset's Work Out Plan
10 months ago
This version of Narset looks super fun!
Your interaction does look a bit light, I'll keep that in mind with these recommendations:
So first off, I'm not really sure about Birgi and Runaway Steam-Kin. They're typically used in mono-red Storm, and your mana costs are so balanced with so little generic mana, I'd probably definitely cut these two.
Similarly, while you do have like three cards that support it, I don't think Zada, Hedron Grinder fits as well here as it does in, say, Feather, the Redeemed. If copies triggered prowess, then it might, but sadly they don't.
Some things that would be awesome here: Frantic Search - fill the yard for Narset, and get some free Prowess triggers? Yes, please.
Unwind / Rewind - same deal here, get some free mana later on by casting these from the yard.
Big Score / Unexpected Windfall - if it's copied instead of cast, you don't even have to discard.
Azorius Charm's slot might be better filled by Prismari Command or Izzet Signet, since both of those have a ton of options included.
Hope that helps; happy building!

BANE! (Maraxus voltron)
11 months ago
Wow. Proper card analysis Rasaru!
I haven't taken this deck for a spin since last summer but I clocked in a lot of games.
A. Storm-Kiln Artist This is not a spellslinger list but I thought the few instants/sorceries would create mana. It made 1 or 2 maybe 3 treasure. Your suggestion of The Reaver Cleaver is the perfect replacement.
B. Nettlecyst was really strong. Puts Bane easily on a two turn clock sometimes one and done. Your suggestion of Sword of Forge and Frontier is too good not to include so I will find another cut.
C. Great Furnace + Goblin Welder is one of those simple synergies that makes me love MTG. I'm going to keep it in. That said, you are right about upping the snow-covered mountains for Valakut triggers and your assessment of the other non-basics.
D. Endless Atlas was made for mono Red, White and Boros. Going to continue running it for now but Seize the Spoils seems really good and I'm already running Big Score so why not?
E. Wow... neat! I'm already running Soul's Fire and Chandra's Ignition, Surestrike Trident seems very appropriate.
Thanks for spitballing ideas. I'm going to update based off your analysis and test again.
