Hey Folks! Submitted for your approval, we have our 1st non-precon Cut-Rate Commander build for The Lost Caverns of Ixalan – this time covering the ever smiling flood monster - Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood.
In this build, we’ll be focusing our efforts on getting as much value our of Xolatoyac’s ability to untap our permanents with counters on them on our end step – primarily by running a huge amount of ways to grant +1/+1 counters onto our creatures (which allows them to make use of the pseudo-vigilance our commander grants them so they can swing in on our turn with their increased stats and then still be able to block incoming attacks on our opponents turns or to get extra uses out of any tap abilities they may possess), alongside a decent number of other permanents (artifact & lands) that either come into play with or can grant themselves counters so we can untap them without the need to set them up through outside means (allowing us to keep at least some mana open on our opponents turns even if we spend it all on ours to cast our spells and/or to –again - get extra uses out of our permanents tap effects) - enabling Xolatoyac to drown our opponents with value and empowered bodies while they smile down upon them with their cold, unfeeling eyes.
Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead. Also, let me know know who you would like to see next by voting on in the comments on the three choices of commander listed at the end of the video.
