LoL I never thought to use it with knowledge pool.
The first card that came to my mind when comboing with Curse of exhaustion was possibility storm.

Yep, it instantly makes all the creatures just that much better, ulamog is ALWAYS a 2 for 1 which is sweet.
What was the lock?

I guess the main deck 4x ghost quarters explains the scapeshift haha.
I can't see control being that bad of a match up because we have so many on cast triggers.
(my meta is mostly midrange, combo and aggro. Very little "control" decks)

yeah 2 slaughter pacts if a bit much, normally just having the one forces them to play differently.
If 3 strangers fits your meta I can't tell you to add a 4th.

What kinda decks do you see? you could main deck a hate card like spellskite.

Yeah a lower curve is always a good thing haha.

Also not having so many non-basic lands is something I have been working on doing in all my edh decks.
While the colour fixing is AWESOME.
You get hosed by cards like "back to basics" and "blood moon".

I know it increases the price range, but honestly, a few utility lands(the ones you really need) a few dual lands and fetch lands. then just a ton of basics is just great.

Plus you could then run "back to basics"

Yeah its banned in french commander, but vanilla commander its not.
Wizards expects between 2+ people, someone should be able to deal with a 6/6 in a timely manner lol.

Oh okay, well pridemate while good probably isn't as game breaking as a turn 1 6/6 flying lifelinker.
He's great, but the deck is filled with a ton of good cards already.

nirkana rev (for serra)
not sure what for pridemate, you would know more than me which cards that have under preformed.

I would honetly drop 1 pact or dismember for the 4th strangler.
I assume you will be running that new drown in sorrow that exiles creatures that it kills post launch?

"Storm is fun, but acquiring some of the key cards can be expensive, and depending on the type of storm being played it could range from $60 to $180, to over $300."

Shit I wish my deck was that cheap... My modern deck is 1 color(black) and costs 800$+...

I honestly always thought storm and red burn were the go to budget options in modern.

Weird paradise has been a deck for a while and is almost the easiest deck to beat, nothing against your deck building skills or anything, just you have 4 creatures total, which people can just kill in response to you casting a spell.(while the untap trigger is on the stack)

Well one card and EDH staple that you're obviously missing is:
Serra Ascendant
Ajani's pridemate is also good here

Lol, I have been on this sight for years and didn't even know there was follows.
No problem, I am always up for a little banter about magic, sometimes I can come across as blunt but its never ment to be rude.

Last set wasn't that good, it was really all over the place and hard to deck build due to some colours just lacking everything.
We crushed Khans lol.(I had 5 bring low main deck plus other removal lol)

I think I cast a void winower on turn 5 at the battle for zen one and still lost that game -_-.

Oath is looking pretty sweet though, I feel it'll be much easier to choose who plays what, but most likely will always have one ramp, one aggro deck haha.
We had some sweet synergy, but other people just did better.

Yeah, I just feel if you're going down the same route, boggles gives you creatures with hexproof and enchantments that stick around and give better effects(rancor, umbras, E-armor)

Honestly its amazing having someone like that.
My wife plays, but she only started a few years back.
We go to two headed giant sealed events and play commander together.

Excited for my son to be old enough to learn how to play, but that's still a few years out haha.

At least make it vintage legal lol

I feel 4x black lotus could speed this deck up.

I feel like this deck would just be better off as green white boggles lol

It's not that, its just I don't want to be too weak to the tempo decks.
I would already be dropping 2 of my creatures, dropping artful and replacing mantle(maybe)
Going lower on the land count.

I'm not saying they're bad cards, just when a counter war begins I would like to have the option to cast 1 cmc cards to protect my creatures.

That was a sweet block to start on though, between that and rise of the eldrazi, its hard to top those sets.
I started back like 16 years ago when i was a kid lol, was a lot cheaper back then.

Skills is a great card, but if I ported it into pauper I would most likely ditch the 2 CMC pump spells.
Just need to get that CMC curve as low as possible.
Battle rage would stay though.
