In the Web of War Discussion

Pheardemons on The Locust God

Have you considered In the Web of War? Redundancy for Ogre Battledriver effects, it'll stack, and enchantments are harder to destroy.

Sweet deck! Maybe In the Web of War? I have a feeling Neheb will be dying a good amount and you can never have enough haste.

Pal00ka on Hydras

3 weeks ago

Magewright's Stone, Thousand-Year Elixir, Burst of Strength, Emerald Charm, Seeker of Skybreak, and Vitalize can untap Rosheen to make a hydra 2x as big or be used as combat tricks.

Hammer of Purphoros, Fervor, Fires of Yavimaya Ogre Battledriver, In the Web of War, and Mass Hysteria allow your hydras to attack the turn they drop so they can have immediate impact.

And so chump blocking isn't an issue, trample enablers like Nylea, God of the Hunt, Primal Rage, Temur Runemark, Rancor, Fists of Ironwood, Dragon Fangs, Cartouche of Strength, etc. are helpful.

For removal the fight mechanic like Prey Upon, Savage Punch, Ulvenwald Tracker, Unnatural Aggression, Mutant's Prey, Epic Confrontation, etc. could be fun and flavorful for hydras (at least in my head).

Hope something here helps!

checking out this list and offering my constructive criticism :D

Please keep in mind that this is just my take on Scion, there's definitely a lot of ways you can build it, so these comments are going with the train of though that being voltron for the win is the most efficient path to victory :D

I'll break it down by category:

Lands:I'd probably cut minamo and high market. From there, I think 36 lands is fine, and I'd play 2 of each basic to play around non-basic hate and to take advantage of some other effects from cards I'll mention later.

I'd also consider running ancient tombs in place of Crystal Quarry, cascading cataracts just seems like a better version

Sorcery:I feel like these should mostly be either- Powerful board wipes- Powerful card draw- Stuff that will win you the game

My reasoning for this is that this deck probably draws stuff it doesn't want to/can't play, and those cards end up being dead in the hand for too long.

In your list, I'd probably cut:

  • 1x Channel the Suns - this card takes up a slot to net you 1 mana. If you're fetching right and have mana rocks, this card is basically dead.

  • 1x Fearsome Awakening - very slow reanimation spell, the 2x +1/+1 counters aren't an upside worth paying 5 mana for in my opinion.

  • 1x Skyshroud Claim - you can probably find a better rate for ramp + fixing, a 4cmc sorcery seems like too steep of a price to pay.

Sorceries I'd consider bringing in are:

  • Maelstrom Pulse - relevant vs tokens
  • Akroma's Vengeance - flexible boarwipe thanks to cycling.
  • Time Spiral - re-gas or reconstitute a weak hand.
  • Rite of Replication - either copy the best threat, or make 5x of one of your dudes. Basically wins you the game with Scourge of Valkas if kicked (basically a super Valakut - 6x5x6 = 180 damage, since each copy Valkas will see 6 dragons entering the field at once)
  • Bring to Light - essentially a tutor

  • Moving on to Instants:I'd cut Lure of Prey and Sarkhan's Triump. Feels like this deck wants to basically win with Scion getting through with commander damage, ultimately a voltron approach to victory. With that being said, I think you can jam a lot of high impact instants. These come to mind:

  • Pact of Negation

  • Path to Exile
  • Swords to Plowshares - life gain doesn't really matter if you're winning with 21 commander damage.
  • Disallow - gets rid of tricky stuff, and its a solid counterpell overall
  • Fact or Fiction - fills the GY, digs 5 cards deep at instant speed for 4cmc.
  • Savage Beating - for 5 or 7 cmc, you win the game
  • Hatred - seems decent in EDH, with 40 life, you're basically trading off 5cmc + 15 life to either win the game, or to knock someone out of the game (commander damage).

Enchantments:Cuts, due to low impact, in my opinion:

If I were jamming Scion, I'd probably want my enchantments to do 1 of 3 things - either keep me alive, protect my dudes, or act as a damage multiplier or grants evasion so I can win via commander damage.

Stuff that keeps you alive:

Stuff that protects my dudes:- Asceticism - you already run this, nothing else off the top of my head atm.

Evasion/game winning stuff:

Now, on to Artifacts:

First, stuff that doesn't pass the initial eye test:

  • Crucible - no obvious synergy
  • Dragon Arch - seems iffy, you end up paying 7cmc to play a multi-colored creature, at which point, you can probably just play the creature. If the creature costs less than 7cmc, you kind of just owned yourself.

Stuff I think is worth checking out:- Chrome Mox- Prismatic Geoscope - this is what those basics will help out with :D- Fellwar Stone - most likely fixes some colors + ramps- Swiftfoot Boots - lightning greaves #2- Credit Voucher - cycles dead cards for potentially not dead cards, for the low cost of 2cmc

Planeswalkers - I noticed you don't run any, I think these might be decent:Sarkhan Unbroken - CARD DRAW + mana fixing/ramp in one? SEEMS GOOD!Sorin, Grim Nemesis - MORE CARD DRAW!? AND with the high CMC of your stuff, the drain should be excellent every now and then.Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker - Takes care of any creature threat + flavor win

CREATURES!!I'd make these cuts on the thinking that they either:A) Don't win you the gameB) Don't advance your boardstate enoughC) Don't provide adequate utilityC) You're never going to be able to abuse their 3cmc payment abilities + you probably will only have one shot with them. Feels like the mana would be better spent winning with Scion.

  • 1x Balefire Dragon
  • 1x Bladewing the Risen
  • 1x Dragon Mage
  • 1x Dragonlord Ojutai
  • 1x Dragonlord's Servant
  • 1x Dragonspeaker Shaman
  • 1x Hellkite Tyrant
  • 1x Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund
  • 1x Numot, the Devastator
  • 1x Savage Ventmaw
  • 1x Steel Hellkite
  • 1x Teneb, the Harvester
  • 1x Tyrant's Familiar
  • 1x Utvara Hellkite
  • 1x Vorosh, the Hunter

Creatures I'd consider running:

Whew, that's all I've got! Again, this is just my take on what I think is the path of least resistance to victory with a Scion deck that's not as vulnerable to GY hate. GY strats are definitely legit, so feel free to jam all the reanimation + tutors too :D

Hope you found some of this useful :D

VesuvanDoppelbanger on Sek'Kuar, The Meat Master

LeoSushi Thank you for the comment!

The original idea of the deck was to simply explode, and then win. That's why cards like Fecundity and Elemental Bond were cut...Grim Haruspex was in there too, for a while. Once I'm dropping a bunch of tokens and sac'ing my lands, I'm not concerned w/ having cards in hand. The 'backup plan' has changed since this deck was built, and those cards are definitely worth another look, since I might actually survive to another turn.

The Gitrog Monster was cut because at 5CMC, he's a little late to help w/ the ramping.

Titania, Protector of Argoth JUST got added - she was MADE for this deck.

I have been working haste enablers in, such as In the Web of War, Goblin Bushwhacker, and Ogre Battledriver. Anger was in there, but got cut at some point. I've been thinking about putting him back in.

And you're right - if you cut out the 5 most expensive cards, this drops to well under $200 very quickly. As it got better, I couldn't resist putting in a few gems.

How about an Ogre Battledriver or In the Web of War?

A Goblin Bushwhacker is a must.

A horribly offensive build in a casual format. How dare you!

How about a Ogre Battledriver to turn your goblins into little lightning bolts with legs?

Or an In the Web of War if you don't want to break theme?

Love Goblin decks, +1.

Nice build! How about an In the Web of War or Ogre Battledriver to push your gobs into a frenzy?

Goblin War Drums are decent, and fit into the theme.
