Possible combos with cards from the set Commander Legends
Interviewing Paul from PDH committee - the Pauper Commander format
The deck has around 30 uncommons, 10 rares and 0 mythic rare
. The rare ones are only lands.Ad
Lurrus of the Dream-Den
applies. The ideal hand is to haveFlourishing Fox
to play in turn one, make the creature huge through cycling and then give it trample withFootfall Crater
.Zenith Flare
keeps you alive in a Tempo fight while serving as a removal or finisher. Some versions useSavai Triome
in the list to be able to add black mana. Black mana allows you to castMemory Leak
which is great against controls or decks that depend on a specific card. If you hate Lurrus, you can maindeckImposing Vantasaur
, which can be cast as a last resort. ButLurrus of the Dream-Den
fits like a glove in this deck since the threats are low cost and they all go to the graveyard. With an empty graveyard, you can still cycle a card and then cast it with Lurrus. JESKAI CYCLINGStartling Development
look weak, but they mean +3/+3 forFlourishing Fox
in addition to protecting from removals.Frostveil Ambush
can be the finisher for you to attack with your entire team. In short, what changes most is the mana base. You take more damage, but allow blue cards to be used when needed. The deck needs a lot of mana that doesn't enter tap, so it's hard to say whether this version is actually better or worse than the other. In addition to mana, cards likePteramander
can be added, which can quickly become a 5/5 flying creature as several instants go to the graveyard with cycling.Improbable Alliance
enchantment that will give you a 1/1 creature with flying every turn, even your opponents', as long as you have cycling cards in hand.CONCLUSION
If we analyze the price, both in the Arena and IRL, and compare the results, Jeskai Cycling and Boros Cycling are the best decks for those who want to start in the new Standard.
