Hey all! I've been brewing this deck since they revealed my new Sphinx commander for New Capenna. It's basically a Thopter deck, the gameplan is to build on artifact synergies, go somewhat wide with tokens and then use Raffine's new connive ability to feed into cards that reward for drawing & discarding. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or if you've been building this deck and gone a different direction! :)

Raffine Spy Network - Commander (Raffine, Scheming Seer)

Unable to find the spice, and the spice must flow. You have JavaScript turned off and this is the spice that allows for interstellar deck building. While we appreciate your concern for security, Moxfield is only usable when the spice is flowing.

Ive built something completely different. Ive always wanted a esper cycling commander ever since Gavi came out, but never found the right one. Since Raffine discards so heavily, the amonket cycling centric cards offer huge synergies with on demand card advantage aswell as body making capabilities. https://archidekt.com/decks/2564628#raffine

Dang, that's a completely different deck except for the stuff that triggers on discard! Also I completely forgot about Reconnaissance, seems really good in this deck. Thanks for sharing, super interesting!

Glad to see you’re taking some time to yourself. Your art and Kickstarter must be exhausting work. The deck looks pretty sweet. May I recommend looking into scrap titan? In a way it draws you a card by exiling three artifacts from your graveyard and discarding it to connive. You also get the +1/+1 counter for discarding titan and it can be a decent 6/4 beater for 3 Thopter tokens.

Oh man, I made a similar deck, except it's more creature based with token generators like Ominous Seas and Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and some of the new casualty spells.

I love Ominous Seas! I took it out to focus more on artifact synergies but both that and Adeline are so good at generating tokens that I might put them in depending on how it goes. I haven't looked too closely at the casualty spells, anything specific you thought was really good for this Commander?

Thanks, I appreciate that! I really love Magic and spending time actually playing reminds me on why I wanted to work on this game in the first place :) Salvage Titan eh? You're right, that could be a good fit!

I like the look of the deck, reminds me of my Varina deck that operates in the same area. You are looking a little light on removal tho', both targetted and mass. Organic Extinction, Utter End are probably worth starting with just so you have a bit more interaction. Similarly some cards like Sevine's Reclamation and Phyrexian Reclamation will be really helpful to give your deck some reach/resilience. What sort of play experience/power level are you hoping to have?

You're right, it's probably too light on interaction. I'll have to try it out to see how it works in practice, but I got a little greedy when brewing. Anguished Unmaking, more counters, the new Esper instant they revealed today probably need to go in. Although I do prefer to only use interaction defensively. I mostly play at my LGS & GPs, so semi-public pods, and wanted this deck to hit mid power level, definitely casual. Basically do some engine building, boop people with thopters, maybe win around turn 9-10 in some funny way like Mirrodin Besieged or Mechanized Production? Hopefully pull off Thopter/Sword some time :D
