Animate Wall

Enchantment — Aura

Enchant Wall

Enchanted Wall can attack as though it didn't have defender.

DeinoStinkus on Help me Fix a Broken …

1 year ago

Hello.

As happens often, I was brewing a custom card late at night for my Legacy Horizons 2 set and accidentally created a monstrosity.

enter image description here

In case you can't tell what the issue is, think Faithless Looting into Enter the Infinite or Expropriate. Loop ad infinitum.

I. Uh. Am normally decent at fixing broken cards I've made, but I'm at a bit of a loss for this one. How could I change this card to make it better?

I want it to stay in the same design space as Animate Artifact, Animate Wall, and Animate Dead, as well as this other card I made.

Gleeock on Alternative themes/gimmick EDH deck ideas

I keep wanting to make a deck comprised of some of the most goofed art in all of magic. And it would have minimal UN-art.

ClockworkSwordfish on Rasaad Likes Big Butts

Looks like a great start! I like the idea of combining Rasaad with Raised by Giants to potentially attack for 20... not to mention the mess the rest of your critters will do. I sympathize with having to make cuts. I'm seeing a few cards that I think you could safely cut without missing them too much, though!

For one thing, I think you're a little too heavy on the auras... and of the ones you have, most are kind of subpar. The real problem with auras is that if the creature they're on is killed by anything, you're suddenly down two cards to their one, just like that. I'd say Carapace, Chosen by Heliod, Ritual of Steel and Web are all just very piddly effects. You should aim for enchantments that really make a difference (like Stoneskin!) if you're going to run them... 2 or 3 more toughness isn't really worth a card.

Likewise, I don't really think Animate Wall is worth running. You have seven possible targets which isn't bad, but the problem is that you need to draw a wall and a way to make it able to attack and a way to let it use its toughness for damage. That's kind of a lot of steps. For that reason, probably you could cut most or all of your walls while you're at it. Meanwhile, Treefolk Seedlings will probably never get that big in a two-color deck, and Shield Mate and Snubhorn Sentry don't feel like they'll do enough by the time Rasaad's out and they're usable.

As far as instants go, I'd venture you probably have too many pump spells. Tower Defense is probably strong enough to warrant using, but Solidarity, Iron Will and Bar the Door are mostly overpriced. Your deck's curve isn't so bad, so Great Defender will usually be weaker than you might think, too. If anything, you'd probably prefer having more removal and ways to deal with stuff rather than combat tricks!

Lastly, a lot of your equipment just feels too underwhelming. Slagwurm Armor seems respectable, but Kite Shield, Endoskeleton, Paladin's Shield and Warmonger's Chariot don't do much considering how much mana they ask for.

Overall, the theme is solid and the commander choice is a neat one! I hope these cuts help make your deck the best it can be.

Animate Wall and Elephant Ambush aren't legal, but at least they're the worst cards in the deck.

Loxodon Hierarch is a decent elephant. Ivorytusk Fortress is actual junk colors, but you would probably need to build around it more (works really well with Venerated Loxodon though). Loxodon Gatekeeper is a good hate card. Loxodon Smiter can be your version of Obstinate Baloth in the sideboard.

Some other cards are pretty good but also rly expensive like Spelltithe Enforcer and Terastodon (probably better for EDH)

For lands, have you considered Sunpetal Grove and Razorverge Thicket?

Idyllic Tutor could help grab your Assault Formation or Rolling Stones. But the only ones you don't have in the deck are Animate Wall (which isn't good) and ones that require blue mana.

Otherwise, you could try a creature tutor for wakestone gargoyle/recursion in case he dies.

Any thoughts for Animate Wall or Rolling Stones ?

Rabid_Wombat on Arcades' Walls and Wares Emporium

I've already got an old Arcades Sabboth Wall deck...to say it's going to get an upgrade with the new version is an understatement! Here are some recommendations:

Harsh Mercy Blow up everything but Walls! Kindred Discovery Just awesome for card draw. Kindred Summons Double the Walls, double the fun. Island Sanctuary Who needs a Draw Step when you have the new Arcades? Mentor of the Meek More cards, more wins. Feed the Pack Overwhelm the board with Wolf tokens ftw. Sunweb Big fatty with evasion. Illusionary Wall See above. Walking Wall Can be pumped up to stupidly high levels. Fortified Area Buffs Walls. Animate Wall Get on the attack early. Colossus of Akros With Monstrosity he is a boss late game. Sphere of Safety I run a lot of Enchantments so it's in.
