Muldrotha vs Karador 2: This time it's personal! —Jan. 12, 2023
Muldrotha, the Gravetide vs Karador, Ghost Chieftain, 1-2 loss for the hometeam.
Got mana flooded and mana locked on the first two games. Just bad luck there. The third game Karador was struggling to deal with Hero's Downfall that systemically picked away at key planeswalkers like Gideon Blackblade, which coupled with an inability to stop the protection for Muldrotha from Spider Umbra meant the opponent conceded.
I am looking forward to getting into more 3+ person Commander games, I think that my deck ultimately plays slower to snowball into the late game and will just be at a disadvantage against decks with a lower average CMC or other abilities to play quicker.
I don't have enough data to justify these changes, but I am considering the following:
- Remove Cast Down, Doom Blade, and Commander's Sphere
- Add Gyre Engineer, To the Slaughter, and Vona's Hunger
The remove pile just doesn't feel like it is pulling its weight compared to what we could be doing. Gyre Engineer as a 3 mana dork turns around his costs in 1 turn, and helps fix our mana production midgame. To The Slaughter adds another instant that deals with destroying Planeswalkers, and delirium is a great card ability for this deck. Vona's Hunger really stood out to me. Ascend is very easy to achieve here and having each opponent sac half of all creatures (rounding up) is incredible value for helping keep the board suppressed.
Thanks for reading!
