![]() And chiefly, it leaves our targeted opponent with no real upside, as we’ll have access to all three cards eventually. ![]() To be clear, Atris, Oracle of Half-Truths is not Fact or Fiction but they are a close approximation and something that can be recast from the graveyard far easier than Sphinx of Uthuun. And of course, like a trusty Path to Exile, we can always aim it at our own creatures for utility. As a False Demise that can be cast in response to a mass removal spell-even from the graveyard-Minion’s Return can keep threats out of our opponent’s hands and under our safe guidance. That’s where Minion’s Return comes into focus. The omission makes sense however, because these kinds of spells normally end up being too expensive and slow to make meaningful gains on the board. To my amateur eyes, one piece that’s often missing from most Muldrotha lists is a Control Magic effect. And I was very happy I asked because despite how perfect it is, I swear I would have overlooked this card if I hadn’t. ![]() I asked the most experienced Muldrotha player I know, Erin Campbell, about what this set offered her consensus was that Gravebreaker Lamia is the sole auto-include. The first step in analyzing any prospective cards, we first need to understand what the deck wants that it might not already have. By identifying some stand-in cards, we can assemble a workable deck that help to enlighten a player to if this deck will be for them, before investing the time and energy to build the fully powered version. What I’m trying to say is, this deck very strong for good reason.īut what if you are a Standard player, whose collection only goes back to Kaladesh? This is where recognizing substitute options for a deck that also happen to be in-print cards can be so valuable. The fun doesn’t stop there, as Nevinyrral’s Disk becomes a repeatable Planar Cleansing, Nihil Spellbomb keeps graveyards clean, and Elixir of Immortality stands in for a card I’d like to see more of, Reminisce. But the catch here is that because of the general’s ability allowing you to play up to one permanent card of each type from your graveyard each turn, it means that you can have access to these advantages on just about any turn.Įven more backbreaking, Muldrotha can swap out Fog for Spore Frog, Negate for Glen Elendra Archmage, and Harrow for Springbloom Druid meaning that the control and ramp elements are no longer spell-based either. The typical Muldrotha deck will pack Commander stalwarts like Acidic Slime, Mulldrifter, and Sidisi, Undead Vizier to act as removal, card advantage, and tutoring respectively. Due to this versatility, Muldrotha has become a general that’s attractive to competitive players that may normally be keen on sanctioned Magic but also want to invest in at least one Commander deck. Of the available options, Muldrotha, the Gravetide ascended to the top of popularity for the wedge very quickly as a powerful tool box deck that can be equipped with whatever your meta calls for. With the ramp of green, control elements of blue, and “everything, at a cost” nature of black, the wedge can cover a lot of bases and outlast the rest of the table very easily. Sultai is considered by many to be the best color combination in Commander. That is why today I will be looking at this potent deck and highlighting valuable pieces to look out for this weekend, so you too can start developing your own spin on this deck. ![]() But this spark of inspiration has occupied my mind for the better part of the last three weeks, which means there must be something here. As Theros Beyond Death was being previewed, one of the most frequent thoughts I had was “this seems like it would work well in a Muldrotha, the Gravetide deck.” Now that the set has been revealed to us in full and I have had some time to take it in I would contend that while likely not intended, Wizards had given us a lot of solid pieces for a starter Muldrotha deck.Īdmittedly, I’ve wanted to build around her in the past, but never committed to it. With each prerelease, I find myself looking out for cards I hope to nab in my Sealed pool that I think I will get some use out of in Commander.
