![]() 11 card draw Zimone, Quandrix Prodigy, Champion of Wits, Curiosity Crafter, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Commander's Insight, Golden Ratio, Eureka Moment, Return of the Wildspeaker, Shamanic Revelation, Idol of Oblivion, Primal Empathy.50 mana 40 lands and Incubation Druid, Zimone, Quandrix Prodigy, Quandrix Cultivator, Rampant Growth, Kodama's Reach, Eureka Moment Nissa's Expedition, Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Simic Signet, plus Blighted Woodland, Myriad Landscape.Let's see what the rough ratios are for Quantum Quandrix and how it compares. I always find it immensely useful to figure out some quick ways to improve the deck in question. ![]() That's always my starting point, which is then tweaked to suit the individual deck's strategy and further tweaked with playtesting. ![]() 1 finisher something that can win games the turn you cast it without too much setup.1 graveyard hate since you need to keep Graveyard decks honest.2 flexible tutors higher budgets I recommend more tutors.3 board wipes creature-light decks might want one more, creature-heavy decks might want one less.8 targeted removal split between creature / artifact / enchantment removal and countermagic.10 card draw cards that net you 2+ cards in hand.50 mana lands and ramp, usually a 37–13 split.This gives me a reference point to compare to the deck and see which areas may need improvement. ![]() Now that we've glanced at the list as a whole, let's take a look at the deck's ratios.Īs I often explain in my Budget Commander articles, every time I build a rough draft of a deck, I make sure I have a certain ratio of mana, interaction, card advantage, etc. Fractals tie the two different archetypes together, as they are both tokens and come with +1/+1 counters. The secondary theme, +1/+1 Counters, also has a strong showing, with 19 cards that either put create counters or directly support counters. Right out of the box, Quandrix Quandry does a great job focusing on its primary theme, Tokens, with 32 cards that either generate tokens or directly support tokens. The extra tokens enter with the same number of +1/+1 counters.Īlright, let's check out the decklist and see how well it accomplishes its goals: Oh and just to clarify since there's been confusion: extra tokens made by Adrix's replacement effect come with the same number of +1/+1 counters, so it works just fine with fractal generators like Geometric Nexus and Fractal Harness. Cheap, resilient to removal, and one of the best cards in the archetype, it's hard to imagine a better Token commander than Adrix and Nev, so we're going to keep it in the command zone for our upgraded version of the deck. It's essentially a Parallel Lives in our command zone, and it's even resilient to targeted removal thanks to Ward 2. In a deck all about making tokens, having a commander that doubles all of our token generators is absolutely insane. The precon's main themes merge together with its face commander, Adrix and Nev, Twincasters:Īdrix and Nev, Twincasters is a ridiculous commander. The end result is a Stompy deck that merges Tokens and +1/+1 Counters in a way we've never seen before, essentially becoming a Stompy deck that smashes face with huge beaters but has a ton of tricks up its sleeve. The goal of the deck is to fill the board of tokens, most notably Fractal tokens, with cards like Paradox Zone, Deekah, Fractal Theorist, and Geometric Nexus, and then enhance those tokens, drawing cards off Curiosity Crafter, adding counters to them with Master Biomancer, or bouncing away non-tokens with Perplexing Test. These two different archetypes merge together for the first time thanks to the introduction of a new type of token: Fractals, 0/0 creatures that come with +1/+1 Counters. Today we're covering the precon Quantum Quandrix, a Quandrix Token deck with a strong +1/+1 Counter subtheme. Commander 2021 preconstructed decks have been revealed which means it's time for another round of my precon upgrades! I'll go over how each preconstructed deck plays, why you should buy it, analyze its strengths and weaknesses, then use that information to recommend an optimal and impactful $50 upgrade.
