I’ve been wanting to build a mishra deck for a long time just because I think the character got the short end of the stick in the lore. I would love to see a whacky unique build for this guy.
I mean, I don't think being the most key piece in the origin story of inuargably the most important character in mtg lore, along with one of the main characters in what is considered by many the best mtg book ever made is "short end of the stick" but sure, I want the list too
@ I just meant out of the two brothers he was clearly the side character. “Short end of the stick” was the wrong way to phrase it I guess. Apologies to the more informed, I am fairly new to Magic and have mostly ingested the lore in short form summary format; which kind of breezes over Mishra’s character outside of being a narrative vehicle for Urza.
@@markmatteson8490 if you have only read from the Brother's war set lore posts, I reccomend you actually check out the novel "The Brother's war", it's much longer and more detailed, and I'm enjoying it a lot personally. Plus the stories from last year focus more on Urza, but that makes narrative sense since it was just Teferi looking back in time to see what he could learn about the Sylex. Admittedly you are kinda right that he is a tad more secondary than Urza, but it's less noticeable from the book.
@ I didn’t know there was a novel, that’s awesome! I’ll check that out, thanks for the recommendation. I started playing during All Will be One so I kind of worked my way backwards through the Phyrexia/Brothers’ War storyline.
Cursed Totem? In a GRUUL deck? That wants to turn LANDS into creatures? Points for moxie but.... Should we mention that it says "players" and not "opponents"?
I've been toying around with a Satya, Aetherflux Genius lands deck that animates some of the indestructible lands and starts copying them for free landfalls each turn. Also gives an excuse to play cleansing wildfire and white orchid phantom to "ramp".
I have a Zabaz, The Glimmerwasp Artifacts Landfall deck. I use Zabaz to blow up artifact lands, get em' back with Crucible, and play catch up ramp like Knight of the White Orchid to get landfall triggers. Very fun and janky. Also play a couple modular cards to get Zabaz huge and Voltron people out. I can also use cards like Zuran Orb to blow up all my lands and then Second Sunrise to get loads of landfall triggers.
I play Kirri, Talented Sprout and toss all my lands into my graveyard, recycling them to have twice the mana of everyone else and then play big magic with all my mana.
Braids is the one that looks really interesting. It's technically "ramp-draw" if that's actually a thing. I have one question though. Any suggestions for the win-con?
There’s honestly a pretty solid amount of wincons in mono black that come to mind but it all depends on how heavy you lean into each strategy. I could see aetherflux being super busted if you lean hard into the artifact storm start.Or we go obnix and try to drain the table 1 landfall trigger plus braids and they are losing 5 life a turn.

He's a vert good vehicle commander
“… And that’s why we play cursed totem effects.” Is absolutely diabolical 😂😂😂
Cursed Totem?

You’ll have treasure tokens and they won’t 😉
For Galea it is worth noting that cards like Utopia Sprawl and Wild Growth ARE auras.
Chamber of Manipulation would go great here.
Drop the hair/beard care routine bro, looking immaculate
Thanks man haha! 💪

I dig it!

I might have to give that galea idea a go

@@decktechsfordecks I'll give that aetherflux a try. Thanks.
I would love some sample commander deck with this strategy
I might give that a go if I see enough demand! 😁
I’d love to see you make a braids list :)
Braids is a fun one to build, maybe I’ll have to give it a shot soon!
Mishra landfall is such a smart idea and I wanna run it!!
I think it can work!
That Baeloth deck idea looks sick, depravado and degenerate... I'm gonna Try It 😈😈😈
Send it!!!
correct me if i'm wrong. Eternity Vessel is good with a Rowan deck, right? or when you make your land fall, all the damage you took becomes zero?
It definitely would be I just wish it was black or red then it be even better!
Love this guy
Mishra
