Topdecking power sink with this is great. be sure that x = CMC-1 of the spell you counter and you tap out a whole lotta lands (2x) for the turn.

Goes great with Galvanoth.
I had the luck to have both of these out, and have a Cruel Ultimatum, followed by a nice Reverberate.
Aaaand game!

This post used to be praise for Melek, but honestly I've changed my mind. Melek's pretty boring as a commander.
Every Melek deck is incredibly similar. Its just the best red and blue instants and sorceries plus tons of artifact mana ramp and sometimes the Wee Dragonauts/Talrand/Kiln Fiend etc. suite of "instant/sorcery matters" as well as other support creatures and some library manipulation artifacts/enchantments. The power levels of Melek decks can vary a lot but the decks are all still really similar and that gets bland pretty fast.
The fact that you've probably got 20-30 draw cards, a lot of them cantrips with some library manipulation, means you're going to be doing the same exact thing every game, which is good if you only want to win, but Melek's not that good in competitive commander, and consistency actually makes casual commander less fun imo. There aren't even that many "Timmy spells" in these colors; you can't... (see all)

This is pretty hilarious with Blue Sun's Zenith.
Here's how my Melek EDH deck goes off.
End of your turn, I'll draw 26 cards. My upkeep, Tap Ghoulcaller Bell if I don't like the card that's up to make us both mill, tap my land enchanted by Tin Street Market, tap this guy with Epiphany Storm.
Then, I do more draw spells and pass turn. Your upkeep, Psychic Spiral for 67 :P

Question; If I have Melek on play, my turn begging. Can I use the sorcery on top of my library before the draw step? Or I have to draw first and use the next card if able?
