Since I am a bit more familiar with her operation, I've decided to tackle Narset Land Destruction. Derevi, meanwhile, is a means to untap permanents that might, theoretically, be locked down by Stasis effects.
#Salt stronghold kingdoms free
Narset is focused on free casts of noncreature spells, while also being a great card advantage engine when someone–not going to name any names–has blown up everyone's lands. Both of these commanders offer many colors to work with, and play into at least one major theme we identified in our most salty cards. Two options immediately jump out at me: Narset, Enlightened Master (#36), and Derevi, Empyrial Tactician. Of these, a scant six Legendary Creatures can be found for under $10.00 USD (at time of writing). There are approximately 20 viable commanders in our Top 100, when you exclude banned cards like Leovold, Emissary of Trest. In the spirit of my budget deckbuilding series, Low Market, I'm also going to cap myself at $100.00 – this is notably higher than the average cost of a Low Market deck, but salt doesn't come cheap in this economy. With assistance from the Top 100 list, let's try to make the saltiest deck we can manage. Now that we know saltiest cards on the block, it's only fair that we put our salt where our mouth is. The salt shaker also appears on lists of decks (like the "Recent Decks" section on Atraxa's page.) As exemplified by Scion of the Ur-Dragon's page, you can even sort lists of decks by their salt score, to find the lowest- or highest-sodium ways to play that commander. This icon will follow the card no matter where you view it on the site. If you make a visit to the card page for one of our salty friends like Cyclonic Rift, you'll notice a little salt shaker icon at the bottom-left corner of the card image, warning you that this card is likely to cause salt. * Note: no one is actually calling it the Salt Early Warning System. Saltcrusted Steps to Building DecksĮmpowered with this new salt-flavored knowledge, how can we take advantage of it to reduce or– Keftnet forbid– increase, the saltiness of our decks? The wizards of the EDHREC team have you covered, with what we're calling the Salt Early Warning System*. Smaller categories represented in the list include: cards that say "can't" (such as Iona, Shield of Emeria ), spells that result in multiple extra turns (à la Expropriate ), notable win-conditions (like Craterhoof Behemoth ), and frightening commanders (e.g. Similar cards that destroy, bounce, exile, or otherwise Do Bad Things to your lands make up a whopping 20% of the Top 100 list. Living at the #2 slot is the tried-and-true land destruction spell Armageddon. Stasis is the namesake of an entire genre of decks that prevent you from using your resources, and some of its best friends populate the list: Winter Orb (#3), Static Orb (#11), Hokori, Dust Drinker (#26), and so on. Sitting pretty at #1 is Stasis, a low-effort method of making players skip their untap steps. In browsing this list, clear patterns emerge of what cards are most likely to conjure up some good-old NaCl. With all that data, we created a Top 100 list of the most salt-inducing cards in Commander. In the span of 3 days, you contributed over 500,000 votes on the saltiness of various cards, rated on a scale from 0 (sodium-free) to 4 (drinking a bottle of soy sauce while swimming in the Dead Sea). This April, we at EDHREC presented a survey to you, our lovely readers, listeners, and users. How do you quantify a card's "salt potential"? The answer, it turns out, is "with lots of help." It's easy for me to recall specific moments where a card made me salty, but it is much more challenging to judge whether a single card is inherently "salty". with no win condition in hand (or in mind). No, not the delicious spice that supplies iodide (a necessary nutrient) I mean salt: the feeling you get when the Mizzix of the Izmagnus player combos out a turn before your victory the emotion inspired by a Zur, the Enchanter pillowfort deck that you just can't get through to the prickling sensation of a player who just resolved Armageddon. In a recent episode of the EDHRECast, co-hosts Joey, Matt, and Dana sat down with Star City Games writer Bennie Smith to discuss. ( Narset, Enlightened Master | Art by Magali Villeneuve) Just a Pinch
