    I would be interested to see a video on the overlap of draw, removal, and ramp in your decks. Like, if you run 15 draw, 15 removal, and 15 ramp, what is the actual total count? I often prioritize cards that meet multiple conditions (sad robot) simply to make space for other cards. That approach is especially true when moving from deck building to (commander) cube building.

    I average less than 10 ramp pieces per deck for sure. I think I’m usually around 8. I essentially want to hit one piece of ramp per game, but I don’t want to ever be playing ramp in lieu of making a land drop, that feels real bad.
    Generally I tend to try and lower the curve of my deck so I don’t need so much ramp, then I can replace those ramp slots with interaction/card draw/enabler/pay off pieces that I’m a lot more excited to play than a ramp piece.
    Whether or not going as low on ramp as I do is correct is definitely debatable, but I think overall people play too much ramp and not enough interaction/card draw.

    If you're going to talk about synergistic 3 mana rocks I really like the Celestus for decks that care about having cards in the graveyard.

    Cost reducers are INSANE and underrated. The medallions are annoyingly non budget but they are so so so worth it even in up to 3 colour decks depending on how weighed you are towards certain colours (it won’t always be equal so don’t pretend like it will be). And the cost reducers on creatures like Anarachomancer etc are pretty inexpensive, though less splash-able. Honestly seeing those generic costs just tick down is so game changing. Put them in your decks! DEW IT.

    So I have a Ghalta deck that I tried making as strong as I could because of the play group I was in. I decided to count up the stuff and I found it has the most ramp out of all my decks at 29(minus maybe my Raggadragga mana dork tribal, I haven't counted it yet) and the card draw/tutors are at 27, removal is at 12, and my lands including MDFC are at 26. Some of the cards pop up in multiple slots and some are repeatable effects. I'll probably be tweaking these numbers a bit as new cards come out for mono green.
    Edit: forgot to count Boseiju as removal making the total 12. Also decided to calculate avg CMC: 3.9 when having my X spells as my preferred mode so I can flex the avg down when needed

    Hi Nerds, there was some good discussion and explanation about your thought processes behind your choices but I feel like there was one topic I would have loved you to cover. (this question applys to beezy with his god eternal oketra deck) How do create a white ramp package and how do you construct your ramp package when you're playing white catch up ramp or if you go down the solemn simulacrum, kor cartography etb package. The etb package feels more reliable for assuring your lands but these cards shut off your other white catch up ramp cards which makes them worse. While white catch up ramp is consistent if you're at the right table can that be enough of a justification to run that package over etb ramp. As much as green is the most prominent colour in commander I don't know how reliable that is. Cards like path to exile help a little making sure at least one of your opponents has an extra land to help you keep ramping. Can you walk the line and find a balance between the two or is it best to stick to one type of ramp package and exclude the other.
    Interested to hear your opinions as well as anyone else.

    • @jerryloiselle8507
      @jerryloiselle8507 Рік тому

      I am playing a very similar version of beezy's oketra deck, and to be honest, white catch up ramp never feel bad playing or having in hand. If nobodys playing green, your first catch up ramp like knight of the white orchid is gonna trigger on turn 3 (just dont play your land for turn before). I think that you should have a balance of white catch up ramp and just pure ramp too that could fits your strategy it able (mana rocks, solemn etc) And I feel that white options always come with some stuff even if youre not behind, archaomancer map gets you 2 lands out of your deck to play for future turns, your knight of white orchid is a creature for your creature decks so basically card draw with a lot of other cards (mentor of the meek, welcoming vampire, etc) so to be honest, dont be shy to play them without synergies to sacrifice your own lands or stuff like that.

    now what i want you to do is out of your 10 ramp/rocks run bitterthorn. you 1 game saving card run sword of animist.
    out of your draw cards you want 2 strong draw spells but for testing run hedron archive and dreamstone hedron.
    then in your support cards run mind stone and commander sphere. and any more mana creatures you want.
    what you will notice is that you will have an absurd amount of ramp and draw options. what is left over is 20 plus main deck cards and 10 or so removal options. you have maybe a little under 20 cards that can thin out your deck or draw.
    then run the sac lands and you will have another 5 plus lands that thin out the deck. about 1/4 of the deck will be able to thin out the rest of the deck.

      Sword of Hearth and Home, Sword of the Animist, and Bitterthorn Nissa's Animus, are all true ramp (meaning you don't need to have less lands than an opponent) attached to equipment cards. Two of them trigger on attack, and one triggers on combat damage to a player (use double strike to trigger it twice). None of these will really help you in the first three or four turns due to costs (that's what the mana rocks are for), but they will keep your land count increasing as the game goes into the later turns. Bonus to The Irencrag for being a mana rock that can become an equipment later in the game if you no longer need the mana.

      I use strixhaven stadium to have a token wincon on a ramp card, crowded crypt is often removed before i get to use it's effect but is amazing. Ashnods or phyrexian altar are great with zombie aristocrats and phyrexian goes infinite with gravecrawler. Bontu's monument is technically ramp with a great effect stapled to it as long as you are mostly black dimir and not heavy on blue (i think i run 2 or 3 pure blue creatures in zombies).
      There are a lot more card draw synergies but zombies do have some mana stuff to play with.

      It's color fixing since it doesn't thrown them onto the battlefield. I really like it in three color decks cause it helps get your colors and it has upside in the late game. However, I have had it sit in my hand in the late game. Be prepared for it to sit in your hand especially if you're not playing mill. Delirium is much harder to achieve in EDH.

Also I'm having trouble with the ramp in Graaz the juggernaut but it's really more of a colorless issue and the conundrum of should I use some fast mana since I'm in colorless trying to run a super slow 8 mana commander or run more dorks that will end up being 5/3s later.
