My first commander deck! I've always admired commander as a format and figured It was time I hop onto the bandwagon. Simic have been my colors for a bit now and starting off with a swing at a tribal deck felt like a good place to learn about making a commander deck. This deck is semi budget, cards currently in the decklist may be changed for budget reasons but delivers the idea of what I want the deck to capture. In theory, this decklist could also make use of Thrasios, Triton Hero and Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix as partner commanders adding Kumena to the decklist instead for those that are interested. This is built out specifically for Kumena though. ;)Any feedback would be most welcome! So what do I feel needs to be looked at? For starters I'm not sure about the Mana base. It's one of those things I feel I won't know for sure until I try it. My curve is a bit light but still wants to have a mana presence. In addition I'm debating if the deck needs a fourth untap engine (see options in sideboard). Two of the options in the deck but both are subject to creature removal, so just a thought to try to bolster the primary strategy. Prophet of Kruphix would be wonderful in place of Seedborn Muse in this deck with the addition of providing Flash but alas, she is banned. Sad times. Also, the deck is currently lacking in graveyard hate, i feel it could use at least 1 grave hate engine but am not sure what to cut for it. In a perfect world, this graveyard hate would ignore my own graveyard since the deck has some minor graveyard interaction with The Mending of Dominaria which also happens to be its protection from decking.
Kumena captures the essence of everything Simic Merfolk, evasion, drawing cards, and pumping creatures to go wide. To capitalize on Kumena's abilities this deck has a handful of untap shenanigans making use of Tap/Untap abilities to generate advantage. Primary Strategy ~ To support tap/untap Murkfiend Liege, Seedborn Muse and Quest for Renewal are huge primary untap enabling tools creating a lot of advantage with Kumena. Koria, Koria's follower, and Merrow Reejerey while not as potent are secondary tools to enable similar tap/untap shenanigans. Benefactor's Draught and Intellectual Offering are neat tricks that allow the deck to draw cards and make friends at the table while also enabling the untap theme at instant speed. Alternate Strategies ~ As a side strategy Vorel is a key piece in being able to double counters, being particularly potent with Planeswalkers or doubling down on Door of Destinies allowing Kumena to go Voltron for potentially lethal commander damage after having been chipping away over the corse of the game. In addition to Vorel, Wonderwine Prophets when turned on by Thassa, Merfolk Sovereign, Herald of Secret Streams, or Rogue's Passage can pose a massive threat even though it is dependent on the board state. Late Game ~ Should the game get drawn out, Slin, Waker of Wilds, Rite of Replication, Thrasios and Nissa are great mana sinks. All of the above can be great earlier surprises with bursts of mana provided by Plasm Capture, Harvest Season, Growing rights of Itlamoc and Nykthos . Removal Suite ~ With this deck, Swift Warden Plasm Capture, Cryptic Command and Voidslime are all held back to try to protect a solid board state. Beast within, Song of the Dryads and Curse of the Swine are premium removal held for any threats that stick to the board. All the while, Oblivion Stone and Nevinyrral's Disk are obvious board resets. Disclaimer, all the above is in theory and how I built the deck. I do not yet own all the contents of the deck and have not been able to playlets. This is my first commander deck so in bouncing ideas here I hope to tune it a bit before I acquire the cards to make it happen.
