I Think Unnatural Growth And Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus Would Be Amazing In This

[@naurthtiyolix7894]

I was just thinking about the synergy between the commander and Unnatural Growth. Glad it works

[@decktechsfordecks]

I was so close to including effects like that but ended up cutting them for pathbreaker ibex and more protection.

[@TheEternalLightning]

@decktechsfordecks I Would Highly Find A Space Or Two. I Had Cut A Basic (I Prefer Playing At 35 Lands) And Kutzil (Isnt Available On Forge Yet.) And Anytime I Pulled Them It Was A Insane Power Boost

[@samjordan1724]

If there were more hydras in the deck I would add the new polkranos to it as well

[@Lenvyathan]

This card goes straight into my Arahbo deck, as will Kutzil. Slamdunk synergies for sure!

[@decktechsfordecks]

[@juneaujuneau5991]

Ive been playing this commander as an anthem tribal deck and its been awesome. Its pretty resistant to wipes too because a lot of the inital power comes from the anthem effects.

[@decktechsfordecks]

That does seem like a solid route maybe a bit slower but definitely has some resilience built in!

[@serd213]

Do you have a link to the list? I was thinking of going that same route

@@damo9961 Doesn't draw cards OR make mana AND is limited to combat speed (and Sovereign Okinec in particular being able to attack) in a color combo that doesn't have access to extra combats. Fun certainly. But not even vaguely in the ballpark of 'busted' or 'insane'.

[@UncleMichaelMTG]

Reconnaisance and maze of ith are great for attacking, getting the trigger, and saving your commander.

[@ChitosVids]

Avacyn, Angel of Hope, while a high mana costs, would really smash in this deck, plus she is a 8/8 flyer. Hammer of Nazahn would be good for the commander as well.

[@voxkine9385]

I’m planning on making this deck using all the lost and forgotten “when this card etb, creatures you control get +X/+X”. I love finding new homes for old useless cards.

Why is no one mentioning this with Bright Palm? I’ve already been doubling counters, but with Red.

[@nathanpoovey6211]

Now try out Marath, Will of the Wild. I turned my Bright-Palm Precon into that!

[@xkidxander]

Upgrades for bright palm hehehehe

[@jacoblovelace4189]

What would be the first things you would cut for doubling season/hardened scales/ parallel lives, or would those cards be too slow

[@ChitosVids]

Only the "counter" half of doubling season synergies well with this deck and for CMC of 5 its slow, Parallel lives is bad in this deck. it doesnt use token based abilities. Hardened Scales is perfect for this deck and its just 1 mana.

[@simonhofstroler5284]

3:08 I think you got the power of kalonian hydra wrong the turn it attacks. It has 12 +1/+1 counters on it and is therefore a 24/24. Put okinecs trigger first and the hydras trigger second on the stack. Hydra resolves, it gets 12 +1/+1 counters and now has 48/48. Okinecs trigger resolves, it gets 48 +1/+1 counters. Now it has 72 +1/+1 counters, resulting in a total power of 144.

[@ChitosVids]

I get 144 as well

[@Jonnyguitar1877]

My playgroup does not like me to casually do 100 trample damage. 😅

[@jeffstestphone218]

I made a deck for this commander in a little bit of a way. Dont know how receptive of other peoples deck lists your are but if ur interested i could share it

[@drumarcucci7443]

Can you use Bounty of might as a combat trick in this deck? Like they decide not to block your commander and in response you give it plus +18 for the oneshot? Or because the commander uses an attack trigger would we have to declare this prior to combat in order to get the +18?

[@decktechsfordecks]

The answer is yes and no. If our commander already has counters on it and just needs 9 more power then yes. If we need all 18 power to get our commander to 21 power then no.

[@orionwhite8429]

I thought this would work great with cards the new Bedrock tortoise but does not work because language says "assigns damage" so the actual power of the creature never changes, but could have been awesome .

[@zozekia]

I added benevolent hydra and the green dominus👍🏾

[@dachivale5319]

Seems quite busted.. I was thinking of adding him and Kutzil in Gylwain actually.. But do think that he might be more powerful at the helm with this kind of strategy. Just have enjoyed Gylwain so much, I am still thinking of upgrading the deck.. Still have no Bennie Bracks nor Esper Sentinel in my version. So many great options for a deck like that though.. :D

[@decktechsfordecks]

He’s definitely a powerhouse!

Colonial Hydra

[@omartoro9578]

Just a reminder goldfishing really only shows you starting hand mulligans and first two or three turns anything after that its useless because ther isn't any other players to interact with your board. Decks seem good and powerful when you dont have opposition

[@decktechsfordecks]

I’ve found it’s a very useful tool. If you can goldfish a turn 7 win you’ll be probably be closer to a turn 10 average with opponents. It’s also super useful to newer player to see how the deck should function 😁

[@omartoro9578]

@@decktechsfordecks I agree it's useful but I keep running into new players at my legs saying they have really powerful decks they gold fish only to find out it doesn't perform as well with resistance that's why I suggested them to use it for starting hands mulligans and the first few turns or to flip a coin for opponent actions like boardwipes or stronger creatures on board etc
