Deck help/suggestions - upgraded Cavalry Charge Precon

{"ops":[{"insert":"Buckle up. This is going to be a long one.\n\nMembers of the Commander Rules Committee and Commander Advisory Group talk about their intent for a game of Commander to have phases similar to a story plot. (There are little hints of that intent in their "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/the-philosophy-of-commander/"},"insert":"philosphy document"},{"insert":".) The intro and rising action of a commander game generally include a lot of resource accumulation. I'm explaining this because you took some of your best resource accumulation cards out of the 99.

If you get them in the early turns of the game, they accelerate your mana production ahead of other players. If you get them late game, their low cost means you can play them for a little bump and still have mana for other spells. Compare Sol Ring to another card you added: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thran Dynamo"}},{"insert":" . Sol Ring is one of the most busted cards ever made. It's banned or restricted in every other format because it makes more mana than its casting cost. Thran Dynamo takes 2 turns to put you ahead of the mana spent to cast it. I'm not saying cut Thran Dynamo. It's a good card and you should play it if you want to. I am saying it doesn't make strategic sense to include Thran Dynamo and exclude Sol Ring.\n\nYou picked some great knights to add. More of a tribe is usually the right call in a tribal deck. You also cut the equipment from the precon. I agree with that call. \n\nI noticed you added a couple tribal support artifacts. That's good. Just keep in mind "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Coat of Arms"}},{"insert":" is symmetrical. This means it can backfire if another player fields a lot of creatures of the same type. Whether or not the risk is worth it will be different every game. Watch out for token generators and other tribal decks before you cast Coat of Arms.

A lot of decks don't run a card that costs this much. If they do, it's because the card is a closer, a payoff you're building to.

Cards with 3 or more pips of the same color tend to be difficult to cast in decks with three or more colors. Your mileage may vary depending on your deck's ability to fix colors.\n\nSpeaking of color fixing, your deck's mana production is evenly distributed between all three of your colors, but almost 60% of the color pips in your deck are white. This could lead you to get color screwed. Decks usually play better when colored mana cost is proportional to colored mana production. Look at the color pie chart in your deck stats. I recommend you tune your mana base so the inner circle looks more like the outer circle.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Haakon, Stromgald Scourge"}},{"insert":" is an awesome card for Sidar Jabari. When WotC spoiled this commander, I immediately thought of Haakon. I was not surprised they included it in the precon. Haakon allows you to discard Knights with Jabari's emminence ability and cast them anyway. A lot of tribal decks struggle to rebuild after a board wipe or even just a bad combat phase. Haakon also solves this problem.\n\nI know that's a long post, but I hope it helps. \n"}]}
