Hey Last_Laugh,

I really like that Breena, the Demagogue you have in here. I really enjoyed playing the Breena precon back in the day but couldn't find a fun direction to make it into a full deck. I think it will find a place in Reyhan however (or Ishai as he will appreciate breena the most i guess)

Breena, the Demagogue Kambal, Profiteering Mayor Baron Bertram Graywater

I'd personally suggest cutting:

Viral Drake for Danny Pink

Guildpact Informant for Mutational Advantage

Lux Cannon for Beast Within

Atomize for Generous Gift or Stroke of Midnight

Juniper Order Ranger for Anduril, Narsil Reforged

Fuel for the Cause for Felidar Retreat

Tamiyo, Field Researcher for Marcus, Mutant Mayor

Otherworld Atlas for Breena, the Demagogue (make em earn the group huggy card draw)

Also consider Wave Goodbye and Ripples of Potential if you own them or they're in your budget.

bjgivesbj Correct! What’s more: you don’t necessary need goad to encourage your opponents to attack each other. It’s easier to convince a player to aggression when Breena, the Demagogue gives them two cards in return for such a favor.

This is a really fun and unique deck to play, but it requires a lot of cunning thinking to actually win.

Out: Solemn Simulacrum, Austere Command, Hellrider, Revenge of Ravens

In: Mardu Ascendancy, Vanquish the Horde, Breena, the Demagogue, Fervent Charge

Bringing my curve lower. Vanquish the Horde is effectively a 2-drop emergency plan. And dropping some 4-drops for 3 drops will hopefully help. Mana doesn't seem to be a big issue with all the rocks I have in the deck (TBD).

Not exactly Goad focused, but there's this recent Commander's Herald article on an Aurelia, the Law Above deck which isn't really Goad focused. This version "encourages" rather than forces opponents to attack each other.

From having played Breena, the Demagogue, or against her, I've found that opponents tend to prefer to benefit from attacking each other, rather than feel like they don't have a choice. Not saying that Goad is bad or anything, but more that it could be helpful to focus mostly repeatable single target Goad effects and mass Goad effects like the ones you're already running, and maybe some stuff from the linked deck to smooth things out.

Anyways, I hope these suggestions are all helpful as you figure out your last few cuts.

Last_Laugh and Crow_Umbra I got some updates on my deck but looking forward to upgrade it more. Might consider the following in the long run:

Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser Skyhunter Strike Force Firemane Commando Take the Bait Breena, the Demagogue Hanweir Garrison  ^Meld Hanweir Battlements  ^Meld

With most of the goad materials that I'm adding, the deck will be shifting towards a balance between offense and defense and with more card draw.
