Archetype of Endurance

Enchantment Creature — Boar

Creatures you control have hexproof.

Creatures your opponents control lose hexproof and can't have or gain hexproof.

Some more details behind sergiodelrio's answer: If an effect from a resolving spell or activated/triggered ability (Shadowspear, Bonds of Mortality, etc.) changes the characteristics of objects, the set of objects it affects is "locked in" at the time it resolves. If new objects appear later on, they aren't affected. On the other hand, an effect from a static ability (Archetype of Endurance, etc.) continuously updates the set of objects it affects as new things show up.

Another note: If an effect from a resolving spell or activated/triggered ability changes the rules of the game (e.g. "creatures can't block this turn") then the set of objects it affects is not locked in on resolution and it will still apply to new objects that show up later in its duration.

Player A controls a creature with Hexproof; Uril, the Miststalker. Player B controls an ability like Shadowspear or Bonds of Mortality, where it can remove the Hexproof from player A's creature.

Since these abilities are not worded in the same way as Archetype of Endurance, if player A was to Flicker their Uril, the Miststalker, it would regain Hexproof?

Against spot-removal, you could try including Archetype of Endurance and Asceticism (which also grants you the option to regenerate stuff you might otherwise lose).

Alright, I've made some changes based on some recent thoughts I've had about this deck, some cards I've been meaning to add + I've incorporated a few of your good suggestions Profet93, cheers:

In:

  • Ancient Tomb
  • Garruk's Uprising
  • Heroic Intervention
  • Kenrith's Transformation
  • Last March of the Ents
  • Monster Manual
  • Return of the Wildspeaker
  • Sanctum of Ugin
  • Thought Vessel
  • Tribute to the World Tree

  • Out:

  • Archetype of Endurance - I've had success Tooth & Nailing this lad + Platinum Emperion into play for a soft lock, but I agree that the redundancy for the cost is really unnecessary + is not core to the game plan.
  • Dryad Arbor - Kept it in here for that rare but sweet GSZ tutor for turn 1 ramp, but Ancient Tomb is the superior choice by a wide margin, lol.
  • Eldrazi Conscription - Win-more and unnecessary.
  • Endless Atlas - As mentioned, better draw exists in green.
  • Green Sun's Zenith - Removed as my green targets are limited and I think I have enough tutors already.
  • Platinum Emperion - An expensive to cast, unnecessary defense card.
  • Strip Mine - Swapped in Sanctum of Ugin for this. I think the tutor potential might be more handy than land removal.
  • Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger - The douche of all douches, this guy is so expensive and is such a kill on sight boi - because he hoses the whole table & typically just makes me the enemy/target, it usually dies to removal. Like, immediately.
  • World Breaker - Swapped out for the more efficient removal spell, Kenrith's Transformation
  • Zhulodok, Void Gorger - I've had a chance to play this guy a couple times now and he's just too clunky in a non-fully colourless build

  • The average CMC is still atrocious here but that's ok, I think some of these changes will help smooth things out a teensy bit. This is my big dumb stompy funsies deck and I don't necessarily need it to be supremely optimized with the perfect curve etc. I do think the revised ramp, draw & removal suites look a wee bit better after these changes and I'm excited to see how it plays.

    NV_1980, Yes, I've already thought about Vigor and Archetype of Endurance and they're also in my Maybevoard for testing. Maybe swap it out for a Carnage Tyrant and see. Apex Devastator didn't really appeal to me to play it in the deck.

    Apex Devastator can be an absolute hero in a deck featuring this many powerful cards. Archetype of Endurance and Vigor also seem like excellent additions to protect your stuff.

    Totally get it Epicurus, it's a good critique and you're not wrong - the early game can be a bit of a wash. That said, the ramp options/mana doublers in here usually zip me to 7 or 8 mana quickly which gets me started on that beefy action. A few top deck filters, draw spells + cheat into play options in here too which can help refine the early game.

    I play in a honed but not quite cEDH meta and this deck fares quite well in that environment. I've won the last 2 4 person FFA games I've played this deck - the last match was funny, down to 1 other player and I had a soft lock with Archetype of Endurance + Platinum Emperion + Void Winnower & was milling 20 cards a turn with Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. BUT. I know what you mean. Are you thinking it could use more fast mana? I completely agree that this deck needs more efficient early game removal/interaction and I think I will look to take out a few win-more options in favor of cheap removal (e.g. Nature's Claim) + a fog effect or 2, that's a good idea.

    Do you have any cheap-ish to cast removal favourites that you like to run in mono G/colourless?
