Marina Vendrell Commander Deck

This was very helpful! You put focus on some strategies I wouldn't have thought of

Vid came across my recommended, likely because I've been scouting cards for my own Marina Vendrell deck, and I have some suggestions. A lot of the unlock items you had suggested are fairly inefficient but Illusionist's Bracers was one I hadn't considered, so I'll be yoinking that right quick. Things like Sword of the Paruns and an infinite mana source would pop off, but Sting, Glinting Dagger, Patriar's Seal, Thousand-Year Elixer, Staff of Domination, and Kelpie Guide have been my go-tos for untapping Marina to get more tap activations. On the subject of Kelpie, I'm slotting in Intruder Alarm to untap it and Marina when a creature enters. Such as when unlocking a room and Ghostly Dancers or Gremlin Tamer gives me a free creature, if the room I'm unlocking doesn't do that for me. On that subject, Ghostly Dancers, Gremlin Tamer, Balemurk Leech, and Unwilling Vessel are the only non-enchantment creatures with a room/enchantment payoff I'm running. Marina's triggered ability to flip cards from the top of your deck can pitch some really ideal ones to the bottom, so I recommend as many enchantments as possible for as many effects as possible. I'm running Far Traveler to flicker Marina every turn just to boost that a bit harder, which is hilarious when I get one of my no max handsize cards and just collect my entire deck. Rooms of course being the staple of the deck, it's mostly "random stuff, go!" but a lot of these rooms are balanced around not being unlocked for free. Maximizing Marina's ability to unlock them breaks the deck in wonderful ways. 10/10 deck, I highly recommend for the chaos lovers.
