What's Mine Is Yours! Give Your Opponents Karona!

[@nerdgoodness7656]

Definitely interesting to brew around. I tried to build this years ago, but never felt it reached a 'just right' plateau. I'm inspired to try again thanks to you!

[@commandpower1987]

Glad to serve as inspiration! They have just spoiled a perfect card for this deck from Assassin's Creed too, Alexios, Deimos of Cosmos! Will be making a video on him soon

Been planning on rebuilding Karona because of the SL as well, it's one of my first commanders because I read the Onslaught block books. I used to build it as a 5c Enchantress deck. Did you get the foil lair or nonfoil?

[@therobin4299]

really cool! def gonna build this!

[@kayleewatson1943]

One thing to note with Noble Heritage. My understanding is that you will never get the beginning of upkeep trigger. As Karona is never under anyone's control at the beginning of their upkeep. At that stage she is still under the control of the previous player

[@commandpower1987]

You still will get it. The ability is tied to a commander you own and not a commander you control, so it'll trigger on each of your upkeeps.

[@kayleewatson1943]

@@commandpower1987 the issue is when the beginning of upkeep happens Karona isn't under your control, until the end of the the beginning of upkeep resolves, she still belongs to the previous player. .any additional ability she has that triggers at the beginning of her controllers upkeep is impossible. Her text does change with the background and if it worked it would mean it triggers om every player's upkeep.. But unfortunately because of how the game steps work the new triggered ability will never appear on the stack. I learnt this the hard way from a judge. Definitely a cool deck list! Just something you might want to look into. But the rule also means you can you use the Cultist of the absolute background and never worry about the triggered ability being used to sacrifice her

[@kayleewatson1943]

Also means you can't target Karona with Orzhov Advokist. But again sweet deck, I love seeing someone else's take on Karona! Looking forward to more content

[@kayleewatson1943]

You could make it work with something like Homeward Path, trigger it at the end of your last opponents turn to make sure you control Karona at the beginning of upkeep

[@commandpower1987]

Yeah fair point I see what you're saying, that probably doesn't work which makes the card a bit useless unfortunately. Advokist should still work if you stack the triggers correctly though!

[@SCKentrol]

I thought about doing this with a voltron shell and enough interaction to make sure Korona stay on board.

[@crioxian]

Cool deck. The link doesn't work though

[@commandpower1987]

Oh really? Lemme fix that

[@commandpower1987]

Sorry about that, for some reason it was set to private, should be ok now!

[@KingofNeutrality]

A half-assed deck tech with no gameplay? I've got a Karona deck. All talk no action.

[@TheDanteBoots]

I've never seen a commander deck tech include gameplay.

[@commandpower1987]

I'm curious what decktechs you've seen? Most of them don't have gameplay and the ones that do are goldfishing which isn't that useful and would be pointless in this deck since it's an interactive deck based around our opponents. Complainers gonna complain I guess 🤷‍♂️

[@collinsatterlee5927]

Would you be willing to share your list? I'm very interested!
