With the new Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty edition coming out soon, Kamis, Ninjas and Shrines have come back into my focus. Bruvac doesn’t give us many other effects, so ultimately you have to rely on milling to use it effectively. With this commander, of course, it should be noted that there is usually only one strategy left to play the deck. Combined with some enchantments like Drowned Secrets, Psychic Corrosion, Patient Rebuilding, Court of Cunning or Sphinx’s Tutelage, this effect is quickly powered.Īccording to the deck’s own lore, the other Homunculi in the deck are searching for their missing cousin and, like the Riddlekeeper, help us protect our own cards and passively drive the Mill effect. His ability to make any opponent put double the amount into the graveyard as soon as they mill cards plays well into the deck. Who would be a good commander for this deck?Īs a good commander for this Card-Mill-Homunculus-Tribe deck seemed Bruvac the Grandiloquent to me.įor 2U, the human advisor is very cheap and can be put on the field in early turns. This was reinforced by the appearance of the new Secret Lair set, which was in the style of the old WHERE’S WALDO books and whose focus was on the lost homunculus.Įver since Ravnica and Dimir’s Guild, I’ve liked the Mill mechanic and decided to use it to search for Fblthp in the contracting decks, while in my own searching for him by drawing cards so that the little lost creature can be guided back to home safety. However, I wanted to implement an idea that was linked to a “search for Fblthp”. Many of these decks held up the opponent with counterspells or creature bouncing until that one combo could be played. With Bruvac in search of Fblthpįor some time, I had the idea of building a small decklore around the homunculus Fblthp.Īfter a short time of research on the internet, I found out that it was mostly used as a commander in “no-creature”-decks to generate combinations of the same in combination with the Isochron Scepter and the Proteus Staff. After a few wins, a lot of losses and some tweaking of decks, I want to present to you my top five Commanders for 2022, around which I will build several more decks in the future.
