Thought I might share my new and improved (that’s going to be a subjective thing I know) Kess Commander deck, which sufferers will remember is based on last years 2017 Wizards Tribal precon Deck and the $20 MtgGoldfish upgrade (original deck list HERE). I also did an post highlighting cards that were begging to put into the deck. So did any of those cards make it into the deck? Too bloody right or we wouldn’t be here with this new deck list, and my poorly written ramblings.
Still not overly sure of the win condition, I’ve added the additional turns to the deck. There are more counter spells, and cards that give me card draw. Naturally I’ve tweaked the creatures, Guttersnipe had to be added to give me a bit more offensive capability from just doing my thing. The deck is still all about recurring spells from the graveyard.
When I remember I like to include the stats that the deck builder app gives me for the deck. The mana curve has dropped a tad, well hardly at all. So I’m relatively happy that it’s not got worse.
I also like to for a laugh have the app tell me how much the deck would cost me to replace if some mishap would occur to it. The app wasn’t able to give me a price for the Nexus of Fate. Which after the recent pro tour where it was part of the Turbo Fog deck that swept all before it, is going for between $25 – $40 at the moment.
As you can see the deck has got a bit more expensive to buy.
