    Quick tip for the Tovolar player. Build him more as a Edric decks, and less as a mid-range. We simply don't have enough bombs yet to do well in the late game, hence why going low CMC creatures is so important.
    You want to agro asap. People are wrongfuly building Tovolar with this idea of casting only one spell per turn and keeping it night. Here's the thing, you're not keeping it on a Edh table, and you shouldn't care at all. Tovolar makes it so it's eternal night on your turn, which is the one that matters.
    Cult of the waxing moon, Moonstone shaman do nothing for the strategy of the deck, which is to swing every turn. Try using more 1/2 drops to hit eternal night by turn 4/5, and things to untap your lands, so you can go infinite combats.

      You have to take into account he planned to make the deck more flavorful as a werewolf deck, and purposely avoided the "edric problem" of jamming low cost creatures in exchange for flavor and fun.

    Great game!! Hans Eriksson is really cool and I think Wilhelt will be a very fun commander. As for deck recommendations - I recently made a more budget, fun Ramos 5 color sagas deck. It’s all about getting value from repeating saga effects and it’s a blast to play. Highly recommend it!

    Ethan could not have cast the Rishkar´s Expertise at 10:56, since he should have taken the gruul signet back to his hand from the cyclonic rift.

  • @connorl0204

    A deck idea that iv wanted to do but just havent yet: tevesh and kamahl elfball. Seems like it could make for a really solid deck having card draw and a wincon in the command zone plus elf ball making it really easy to get kamahl out to begin with. Im sure it would never be a tier 1 deck but it could pretty easily be a 7 or 8 power level i feel like. Another reason to do this pair in that build is that based on my quick look at edhrec, that pair seems to be used as a zombie tribal theme, so its always neat to be doing something totally different from everyone else

    Cool game! Gotta keep an eye on Dustin tho, he missed some important interactions that could've made a difference in the end, like not controlling day/night properly or not returning mana rocks to the overloaded cyclonic rift. I'm not saying it was intentional, but if he is a newer player you guys could help him out more.

    Good game, nice board. I'm a mardu player and I enjoy so much my kaalia deck, but this game just shows how hard it's to keep her on the table. So I play with kaalia zenith seeker, after two years I do think it's more effective.

    I'm biased because I have the decks, but I do think Tinybones and Haldan/Pako are great commanders and decks to build. They can both be built to various levels of strength, but if they're made too strong for the table they can feel oppressive. More so Tinybones since Haldan and Pako are pretty dependent on getting attacks through and what cards they exile. Still though, Tinybones is difficult in that you have to try and not get the ire of players before you're set to finish off the game and Haldan/Pako leaves themselves open due to the naturally low creature count they usually run
