![]() ![]() Long Answer: Chulane allows you when you cast a creature to draw a card and you can put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield. Short Answer: Because he’s pure value! Duh! Let’s go over it! So why Chulane, Teller of Tales? And Chulane, Teller of Tales has become a really fun Commander to play with. But now that I have a lot more time because of quarantine, I finally made a list and built the deck (on MTGO). So I didn’t really get around to actually building Chulane. Unfortunately, I was more focused on other projects at the time in Modern, Legacy and Pioneer. One of the Commanders, I always wanted to build around was the commander Chulane Teller of Tales. Until next time, may you always have turn one Sol Ring. That’s it for today’s stipulation deck tech! What do you think of the list? Have you built a Scarab God list similar to this? What cards did I miss? What cards don’t belong here? Let me know, as I’d love to hear from you all. This demonstrates a loop of infinite flickering which can result in infinite triggers of your best friend Agent of Treachery, or perhaps infinite mana since you can flicker a land after tapping it for mana every time. As a result, the stack currently holds the original copy of Ghostly Flicker at the bottom, with a Naru Meha, Master Wizard trigger on top of it, targeting the spell, and any other triggers that may have just occurred. Upon resolution of the copied Ghostly Flicker, Naru Meha and the other target have reentered the battlefield causing any enter the battlefield triggers to go off. With that copy, you may target Naru Meha, Master Wizard and another target (land, artifact or creature). ![]() ![]() On the resolution of this ability, a new copy of Ghostly Flicker is placed on top of the stack. On her enter the battlefield trigger, target Ghostly Flicker to copy. You have to cast Ghostly Flicker and then, while holding priority, cast Naru Meha, Master Wizard on top of the stack. The second combo, on the other hand, is a trickier one. If you wish to win with this combo (or the second combo) instantly, consider adding cards such as Blue Sun’s Zenith or Altar of the Brood to your list. It costs two mana to flicker but you will generate an additional three per activation. Have a Deadeye Navigator soul bonded to either of those two creatures to create infinite mana. The first combo mentioned is a tried and true part of commander. Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Ghostly Flicker for infinite mana or enter the battlefield effects Palinchron / Peregrine Drake + Deadeye Navigator for infinite mana You’ve just removed it from your opponent’s side of the board. Agent of Treachery is the best kind of removal, because who better to have the big scary threats than you. Harbinger of the Tides is an excellent tempo play that can still have power when recurred. While several of these are pretty high on the mana curve, the lower end of the curve in the deck generally supports you to get there. Being able to reanimate them with our commander or flicker/copy them with the rest of our spells is how we keep ahead. The number of creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects saying “draw x cards” is how this deck will go on to generate the maximum amount of value. The deck is filled with card draw spells but these are some of the easiest to recur. Especially with a commander that can Reanimate at instant speed! The Card Draw Not having to spend copious amounts of mana on your value and instead of being able to take advantage of the control elements of the deck or just building your board is where this deck shines. We can run as many Quasiduplicate effects as we want to, but the recursive nature of Thassa, Deep-Dwelling and Conjurer's Closet are just where this deck wants to be. Most of the abilities in blue create copies of chosen creatures with the exceptions being Deadeye Navigator, Release to the Wind and the newly printed Thassa, Deep-Dwelling. Not a whole lot of cards for us to be able to flicker our board for the abilities printed on them but enough to keep our value trains on the rails. Let’s look at some of the enablers first. ![]() In the colour pair we have, one of the biggest struggles we have it the ability to repeat the effects we’re building this deck around. It’s a touch slower, and a fair amount more greedy than your average list, but the value of flickering Sphinx of Uthuun for a Fact or Fiction a turn is just far too sweet to turn down. Here we have a deck that’s pretty high on the curve, but also high on the value. ![]()
