No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

My first Commander deck! I'd appreciate any feedback. I'm not even sure it has the right amount of land, I haven't had the opportunity to play test yet.

The Commander is Trostani, but the goal isn't really to populate. I just sort of threw some cards together.

Deck discussion for Commander, Trostani & Friends

Usually you want to run 37-40 lands to ensure you'll be able to play every card you need when you need it. I usually run 38 lands, that seems to be my magic number. As far as card choices go, there are some that can change. Most of the time you want to run cards that have immediate effects when played (Wrath of God, Collective Blessing , Increasing Devotion.) Also you have to try to work with your General even if it isn't that point of the deck in my opinion.. its' most of the time for the best (like your Grove of the Guardian land and Trostani) I've had 20 8/8s at one time that went up to 11/11's with Collective Blessing. In general you deck looks good, but could drop a few less desirable cards for more bombs, (Giant Growth and Favor of the Woods seem kind of blah.) Instead of Fog you could play Druid's Deliverance , same effect plus populate for 1 more mana. Instead of Autumn's Veil you could move that to sideboard for a match up that it could help with, and maybe add in more enchantment/ artifact hate. Sundering Growth is a great card for that for 2 mana destroy either of those types and populate. Overall that deck looks fun to play though, (might be biased since I have a Trostani deck as well lol). So if you take the time I'm sure you would find more suitable cards to help toward your overall goal you want to accomplish, which probably is to whin. Hope that helps, and if you need more suggestions just shoot me a line!

38 Lands is kind of the magic number. I usually run 38 lands and 10 cards, whether they be creatures or artifacts, that let me ramp or produce mana on their own.

There are a couple auto-includes for token decks that you may want to try and get your hands on. Hour of Reckoning is stupid in a token deck. So is Doubling Season. I generally like Overwhelming Stampede as well. It's probably the best "overrun" effect in a deck with tons of little creatures and a couple of big ones.
