I first want to start off with a list of cards from Guilds of Ravnica that I believe could possible be a good fit in the deck
, Sacrifice The Filigree Sylex: Destroy each nonland permanent with mana value equal to the number of oil counters on The Filigree Sylex
It demonstrates what mana curves actually look likeyou stack the cards with 1 CMC on the left, then 2 CMC, then 3 CMC, and so on
In most cases, Id have a high level of skepticism about any card that doesnt give energy unless it can be used for both interaction and doubling, as with Sublime Epiphany
While I really like this deck it is potentially discouraging to play in the environment of Starter Commander decks specifically
however, the opening of Turn 3 Sarkhan into Turn 4 Niv-Mizzet is where the real action is
