    I think I would add Rancor in. It would be great to see it early game to help ensure damage gets through each turn. Since your elementals will lose their creature status at the end of your turn, you'll get Rancor back and can just continue to cycle it as needed. Seems like a really cheap and flexible way to help make sure damage gets through each turn.

    Personally I would probably try fitting some of the Leylines into the deck. Other cards I would try slotting into the deck are Molten Echoes for more copies of Artifacts and Enchamtments, Gruul War Chant giving each creature +1/+0 and Menace, Shamanic Revalation as draw and life gain, Sight of the Scalelord which gives everything with toughness 4 or greater +2/+2 and Shared Animosity because I do not own Coat of Arms. Cradle Clearcutter and Skitterbeam Battalion are some nice Prototype creatures which could fit into the deck. I'd also add Cards which generate tokens like Wolfcaller's Howl, Paradox Zone, From Beyond, Court of Embereth and cut some of the creatures in the deck.
    Also Ward of Bones would be a nice card for Bello if you want to be hated by your playgroup.

  • @Mr_Landfall_MTG
    @Mr_Landfall_MTG 5 месяцев назад +2

    Talks about Vigilance, doesn't add Sight of the Scale Lords to buff for +2/+2 and give Vigilance, but then removes the mana rocks that can be creatures and still tap for mana with vigilance. Makes sense.

    @erikchumbley3014 5 месяцев назад +1

    [Asceticism] is a neat add. I gonna have to see if I can't find a copy. Thanks! I can't bring myself to cut [Tendershoot Dryad]. [Tendershoot Dryad] and [Sandwurm Convergence] are some of the strongest defenses in the deck. Keeping up a wall of token fodder goes a long way towards protecting your life total, and there are surprisingly few 4+ cost artifacts/enchantments that churn out tokens every turn. Another card I have my eyes on is [Court of Embereth] for just that reason.

  • @Sukasaha

  • @mordox1895
    @mordox1895 5 месяцев назад +1

    For this one I'm thinking Elven Chorus would be a great inclusion. It costs enough to get Belloa's effect, gives you that persistent look ahead option, effectively turns any top-deck creature into optional card draw, and if you've got something massive you want to cast you can turn to your creatures to dork that on out.

    @chinozerus667 5 месяцев назад +1

  • @davidengkent7756
    @davidengkent7756 6 месяцев назад +2

    The deck is mainly permanents, wants big enchantments/artifacts and generates treasure. May I suggest "Aid from the Cowl"? Cracking a treasure triggers revolt and can put a permanent from the top of library onto the battlefield on your end step. And it's an enchantment that can also crack in and attack

  • @sophiaatelier313
    @sophiaatelier313 6 месяцев назад +1

    Some really good budget additions imo is roadside reliquary and Elvish Archivist. Roadside reliquary gives you pretty much draw 2 on a land. And the elf is a great budget 2 drop that gets bigger and draws you cards as your deck gets going

  • @tolkienite88
    @tolkienite88 5 месяцев назад +2

    I know this one might be a bit of an odd add-in, but Orcish Lumberjack + some land recursion like Conduit/Crucible of World could help hit those Expend triggers!

  • @hotchocobunn1539
    @hotchocobunn1539 6 месяцев назад +1

    Desperately, I must say colossal majesty is lovely card draw. Gaea's gift is a quick protection spell for the commander. Elven Chorus allows your enchantments and artifacts affected by your commander to then tap for mana.
    Wilderness recklamation could be helpful to cause problems. I believe decimate most of the time will be able to target your own indestructible enchantments to then hit the other targets.

    A super powerful card I foresee being in this deck is actually boompile. It basically turns it into a one sided repeatable board wipe on your turn, which would mean recasting the commander but you also destroy potentially 3 other board states in the process

  • @Darb_the_Bard
    @Darb_the_Bard 5 месяцев назад +1

    I would add Frontier Siege to this deck. You will always pick Khans which will give you 4 additional green mana each turn (2 mana in each of your main phases), including 2 mana the turn you play it assuming you cast it during our first main. It's an incredible card in virtually every deck, but even better here since it's a 4 MV enchantment to synergize with Bello. I would also consider Gimli's Reckless Might for repeatable removal (interaction is too low for me). Since your attacking artifacts/enchantments have indestructible you can fight without losing anything. Plus it is again 4 MV and will thus become a creature itself with Bello.

  • @jonjagozinski9078
    @jonjagozinski9078 6 месяцев назад +1

    Here's a funny interaction. The face commander with the gods from Theros. If your devotion isn't met for the gods, this guy turns them into 4/4's and provides card draw. I think the four mana and higher ones are definite includes.
    Could also throw in the dictates from Journey into Nyx. Either flash them in when you feel necessary if he's not on the field, or just play the Twin Gods and double all damage your indestructible 4/4s deal the turn they attack.
    Maybe also some vehicles. Since they aren't technically creatures until you crew them, turning them into 4/4's can help activate their on attack abilities. Think Skysoveriegn, Consul Flagship and Weatherlight (Dominaria).

  • @arch9995
    @arch9995 6 месяцев назад +1

    I'd definitely add the Lotus Cobra Nissa, she helps you spike mana to get your big stuff out and finds tons of the cards in the deck, so she's reliable draw for every turn you can trigger that (then I'd probably add some of the new capenna fetches to help trigger her on a budget)

    Mirror March and Flameshadow Conjuring getting upgrade nods for me. They come in on my side of the value curve a lot more, similar effect of pumping out more 4/4's, and if my Enter/Exit's have good boosts I'm hitting double+ triggers depending on the way I let them play out.

  • @Borderscapeking
    @Borderscapeking 6 месяцев назад +1

    Y'all didn't really "miss" this because it's not an actually good idea, but I really want to build a raccoon tribal deck with big enchantments/artifacts remaining a subtheme. Can switch between bello and muerra and try to keep a good balance between the two. I've already seen people recommend cutting big rocks, but I think playing like a thran dynamo into a different big artifact/enchantment, while bad for setting up a lot of 4/4 bello attackers, is great for meeting big expend requirements early in the game, not to mention that being able to chain multiple 4cmc pieces for bello in a turn can help set up a big bello turn later on.
    Chandra ignition seems good when most of your creatures are indestructible. I assume trample + deathtouch enablers are going to be very popular, to guarantee damage to players and lots of cards drawn.
