I made it a convoke flyers token deck. It’s cool. Birds, faeries, and angels is fun to play and tokens with impact tremors is always deadly. Throne of the god pharaoh is also amazing with all the tapping you do.
When I first got this deck I was very excited with the mechanic behind it. After playing it and testing it I saw it had good bones but needed some muscle on it. I took out quite a bit of the inconsistent cards where x leads to y and switched them with x=y. I leaned heavy into impact tremors and noncreature spells. City on fire with suture priest will take 3/4 of someone’s health if they haven’t been touched all game. Get city on fire or solphium, secure the wastes, ovika, and impact tremors and you can have someone dead just by 7 creature cast from secure the wastes
Out of all the precons this is the toughest to upgrade. I went with Kasla in the 99 and Traft and Rem as the commander. Can play earlier and makes tokens that feed your engine, whereas Kasla requires tokens then only draws 1 per cast. Rem also works better with the other token cards and doesnt require me to play bad token cards. I really hope Aftermath has more Convoke stuff.
I disagree a bit with running Traft and Rem as the commander, but I think it’s 100% a fair argument either way. I’ve found that I struggle to keep T/R going without another dedicated source of card draw, since my hand tends to run out of convoke spells quickly. With Kasla, even if she isn’t as efficient at using convoke spells herself, she keeps refilling your hand which can help keep the deck going. Also, with a single +1 to Kasla’s toughness, she becomes a 4-turn clock to wiping someone out with commander damage. Skullclamp works wonders in the deck, imo, since you can use it to sac tokens for 2 cards at a time, and you can buff Kasla. With vigilance, you can also attack on your turn and keep her up to help cast a convoke spell during someone’s end step. Imo, Kasla provides more value than T/R, but both are really good if built around properly.
I really leaned heavy into the tokens idea and ordered a bunch of effects that passively make tokens once per turn. Goblin Assault, Outlaws' Merriment, Skrelv's Hive. I also got Reservoir Kraken and Brudiclad. I also had the idea for Jeskai Ascendancy and Third Path Iconoclast and Young Pyromancer. I opened 2 copies of City on Fire from my prerelease kits so one of those will be an auto include. My thinking was that having a bunch of differently colored tokens would be just as important as having the tokens to begin with.
Some interesting upgrades : Daring thief to steal creatures, Reconnaissance to tap/untap creatures for free, Order of Whiteclay for untaping reanimate effect
I can’t upgrade mine yet because I’m waiting on some cards that were suggested by command zone so I’m using those but I do like divine complication deck because it’s fun very fine anyway good man keep up the good work
coming from the future because i just bought this precon and im waiting for it to arrive it's kinda upsetting that they didn't include Bennie Bracks in the precon, and then later on reprinted him in the MKM clues precon 😩 anyways, lovely editing! ty for the video
A card I see almost no one ever mention in use for Karla is Sky Hussar. 4/3 Flying for 3WU. During your upkeep, you can tap two untapped white creatures you control and reveal it from your hand to draw a card. When you cast it, it untaps all other creatures you control. With the large board you’re going to have, it’s essentially a free extra card draw each turn, with another free token if you tap Saint Traft as one of the creatures. You can also tap some creatures for convoke spells, cast it to untap them, then go for more convokes. With that in my hand and Kasla on the field, I almost always have to discard at the end of my turns
I literally said…I need a commander mechanic… typed it in…wow! Subbed ! Returning to the game after years… never played commander… Trying to build a polished wilhelt deck… with unlimited budget… Pointers?
I understand why it wasn't. Then it would be legal in commander in general, and it would elevate to staple level, nearly 100% likely. Because it turns utility creatures that aren't attacking anyway into mana. Turn all counterspells and removal into free counterspells and removal. Probably NOT what WotC wants in a precon after Guardianship and Dockside. Wand of Worldsoul and Flockchaser Phantom are fine because they help, but aren't... busted about it. Invasion of Segovia from the main set is essentially what you're looking for.
@@Mr_B_251 Cryptolith Rite and Citanul Hierophants, which do exactly that, exist and aren't in every green deck. There are more effects that are a bit more restrictive but still do much the same in their respective synergistic decks too: Sorcerer Class for instants/sorceries, Manaweft Sliver gives Slivers the effect. Moreover, effects like Circle of Dreams Druid are arguably even more busted because they effectively achieve double value from dorks. Designing a card that would achieve what is described previously but says "convoke" would just add more flavour for players that what to build around the mechanic.
This deck would have been a great place for Prosperous Partnership and Drumbellower. Don't need to cast a spell with convoke? Make treasures instead. Let all your creatures untap every player's turn to pair with convoke and Partnership.
Dude, why is everyone cutting Fractured Powerstone. It's a 2 drop rock. You don't need to be playing Planechase for it to tap for mana. It doesn't matter that the second line of text is irrelevant. It's just an efficient mana rock.
I like the idea of leaning into all the spells that generate tokens as well as some of the creatures with the Inspired mechanic from Theros and the untap symbol from Shadowmoor. There arent many good ones but theres a few. Was also hoping there would be some Ally synergies but none that seem good enough. Goblin Bombardment, Spireside Infiltrator, and Throne of the God Pharaoh gives the deck some reach and i really like Assemble the Legion as a passive token generator as well as Intruder Alarm as a way to basically ramp/storm off. One new card that you didnt mention was a 3 cost mana rock that can give your next spell convoke called Wand of the Worldsoul.
The commander shouldve just been Flockchaser spirit with jeskai and a draw/loot effect. The haste is nice but playing the deck I found it very hard to have good convoke cards to play for the right time... I have an easier time playing kykar instead and going spellslinger. I also kept the convoke spells since they synergize well with Kykar... then again... another Kykar deck soooo

Angelic exaltation is my favorite add (with the face commander) because its too on theme and a big swingy fun card in this strategy.

This is the best upgrade I've seen for this deck

WHAT A WILD DECK! Love the constant token generation basically meaning you get more mana, this is cool as hell
It’s a rad deck - definitely a great precon
Add Entreat the Angels. Miracle cards are so easy to manipulate when your commander can scry2 to setup the next turns card draw.

Surprised a static effect that gives spells convoke wasn’t included in the deck…. Swing and a miss….

Your use of gas is gasssss. 💯
what did you swap leyline and orrery with? to get them in ?
If you include Ovika enigma goliath then there is more of a pay-off for high-costed spells but then there is the issue of bringing Ovika out.
a 7-mana legend to get a payoff from your 7-mana spells can be a little challenging!
@@CommanderMechanic flockchaser phantasm, wand of the worldsoul, and inspiring statuary can help bring it out but all need the right set up.

these precons are bananas
they're REALLY good out of the box!

Thumbs down! Useless alteration guide rather than simply explain how the deck works and how to play it as is.
