Commander 2019 Ghired, Conclave Exile: reinforcing the Primal Genesis Deck

Vinicius Sorin here brings another episode of our marathon refurbishing the decks of Commander 2019 edition. Remember that this content is focused only on talking about card replacements. If you are looking for a better understanding of decks and their strategies and moves, I recommend watching the review videos I made on my channel on YouTube.

Today we will talk about the deck that is possibly the “strongest” in the collection. I'm talking about the Primal Genesis - the Naya with populate habilities: Ghired, Conclave Exile.

It's normal to find that more than half of the cards on a prebuilt Commander deck are just there to be replaced (or for other decks). But this one is definitely not the case. Primitive Genesis comes fairly cohesive from the factory, and the number of dead slots in the original list is somewhat lower than usual. I would venture to say that only about 15 to 20 cards there deserve to be kicked off the list without remorse (which is little, believe me) - the rest even survives a less focused look. However, the fact that there are many synergistic cards within the prec does not mean that there are no better and more synergistic cards outside it that can take their place. One criticism I make of Primal Genesis is that it is on average a little too heavy, so one of my goals with reinforcements is to try to decrease the deck's mana curve a little too. In many cases this will be a determining factor in whether a card deserves to come out or stay on the deck.

Unlike other decks, here we will not give up the “Poor fetchlands” (Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds and Naya Panorama) because of possible synergies with Staples like Rampaging Baloths and possible other Lands upgrades.

Slice in Twain

Trostani's Judgment

Heart-Piercer Manticore

Atla Palani, Nest Tender – A legend that can yield very epic moves. But your skill can be slow and slow to do something really relevant here. I think she fits better on a deck made to exploit her to the fullest.

Commander's Insignia – Our creatures are already very strong, what they need most is evasion. This pump doesn't deliver it.

Doomed Artisan – Your tokens may get big, but it will take several turns before that happens. Not to mention that the card itself is sabotaged. Too bad.

Tectonic Hellion – Large, heavy and without evasion. It can still hurt you. A very clumsy bomb.

Tahngarth, First Mate – Very cool, but it has nothing to do with the deck.

Idol of Oblivion – Slow card. Makes big tokens but no evasion.

Cliffside Rescuer – Interesting card that can confer some protection or evasion. However, it will give way to another card that can do something similar for all your creature and not just a single creature.

Druid's Deliverance – Defending yourself is not exactly the main concern of this deck. Populate is a plus, but if it's just because of that, there's much better stuff.

Fresh Meat – This card is a way to return to the game after a global removal. But there are cards there that fulfills the same function more satisfactorily.

Emmara Tandris – Protects your table, but only the chips. Too heavy to be worth it.

Roc Egg – This card is only here because of Atla Palani, not Ghired.

Soul of Zendikar – Interesting bomb that can create tokens on a recurring basis (that's good). However, the cost to do this is too high.

Desolation Twin - One of the biggest bombs on the deck. The token he makes is huge and can create havoc, but if you have no evasion it won't do much good. Even so, it is one of the cards you draw withdraw with heartache.

There is still much to talk about upgrades in the populate deck, as many cards that are above $ 10 price range play a lot on it. Here's the list with unlimited budget reinforcements can be so you are aware of all the possibilities to improve your Ghired commander! In this case the deck changes slightly, and considering the volume of cards added, if you are interested in reinforcing it this way, be aware that it may be better to buy the more interesting single cards than to buy the pre-con.
