Relic Seeker

Creature — Human Soldier

Renown 1 (When this creature deals combat damage to a player, if it isn't renowned, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it becomes renowned.)

When Relic Seeker becomes renowned, you may search your library for an Equipment card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.

Hey, good start here. My advice is refine a single strategy to go with it. When you're on a budget it's better to narrow down and only play one strategy. As you get more funds you can expand on this, but when you don't have funds stick with one. Keep it simple :)

Helm of the Host is the card you want with Aurelia and you already have it nice. Most of my suggestions will be to strengthen the voltron strategy with equipment. When you have both these cards you want to be able to use them the turn you play them this means you need to be able to equip Aurelia for free, play Host for free, play Aurelia for free or all of the above. Playing Aurelia for free is difficult in Boros colors so lets take that away. However playing Host and equipping it for free is possible and that's a direction to consider.

Budget cards ($4 or less each) to consider adding:

• Command Tower : one of the best lands for multicolor Commander decks.
• Battlefield Forge : ETB (enters the battlefield) untapped.
• Mistveil Plains : excellent with Sunforger.
• Inspiring Vantage
• Ash Barrens
• Sol Ring : most played card in Commander.
• Godo, Bandit Warlord : another two card win with Host.
• Sigarda's Aid : play Host at instant speed and equip it to Aurelia for free.
• Gamble
• Open the Armory
• Relic Seeker
• Smothering Tithe : great repeatable ramp in multiplayer Commander.
• Sunforger : lets you search for and cast an instant for free.
• Leonin Shikari
• Mother of Runes : protect Aurelia.
• Swords to Plowshares
• Crush Contraband
• Chaos Warp
• Boros Charm
• Argivian Find
• Sun Titan

Sunforger is one of the most popular cards for Boros players because it gives you card advantage in colors that lack a lot of it. You will hear "Sunforger Package" this is referring to a number of instants spells that are good to cast for free with Sunforger's ability. A budget Sunforger package to consider:

• Mistveil Plains: can put a card that's in your graveyard after you cast it for free with Sunforger back into your library and then cast it again. This land lets you loop spells with Sunforger.
• Knight of the White Orchid : search for Mistveil or a Plains and put it onto the battlefield.
• Gift of Estates : search for Mistveil and other Plains. Helpful to make land drops.
• Swords to Plowshares
• Chaos Warp
• Crush Contraband
• Boros Charm
• Argivian Find: recur an artifact or enchantment.
• Dawn Charm
• Oblation
• Deflecting Palm
• Wild Ricochet
• Eerie Interlude : save your creatures from a board wipe get more value from creatures with ETB abilities.
• Wear / Tear : can combine and use both Wear and Tear when casting it with Sunforger.

This is an example of a simple base Sunforger package; it can be expanded on and made much more complex.

If you like some of these suggestions then I offer help to make cuts and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Teysa Double Death Triggers

Hey, I like your deck. I'm also playing casual Teysa, Lady of Death (Budget).

Consider more cards that can get/recur Skullclamp? Any Teysa deck becomes much better when you have Skullclamp on the battlefield. Demonic Tutor , Enlightened Tutor and Stoneforge Mystic are the obvious, but expensive price cards to add. However, if you can't afford these then there's some budget options:

• Open the Armory : it can also get Animate Dead which is another card to consider adding or Deathmantle.
• Steelshaper's Gift
• Relic Seeker

Sun Titan has a lot of utility with creatures/other cards that you want to play with Teysa. Not only can he reanimate Skullclamp, but also Spiritkeeper or other creatures who make tokens when they die which are great with Skullclamp. I think Titan can overall do more than Yosei.

Doomed Traveler is an upgrade for Martyr of Dusk. It's one mana and it makes a flying token when it dies. Reliquary Tower is one of the best lands to have with Skullclamp. Necropotence is powerful draw in black also very good with Tower. If playing Karmic/Lark combos then Carrion Feeder and Mirror Entity are other powerful creatures no mana cost sac outlets. Entity is also good to pump all tokens as well as Teysa attacking for Commander damage. Buried Alive is great to setup Lark/Karmic/Seer/Cutthroat combo.

Good luck with your deck.

Personally I'd say:

• Relic Seeker : Unless you can reliably get damage through with it I'm not sure how often you will tutor with it.

• Assemble the Legion : While a super fun card, I'm not sure how well it synergizes. While yes, it can be a win-con because of the tokens, it seems too slow to be able to kill a whole table with it.

I can't think of a third, but this is my 2 cents

Osbert on First Draft Bruna aura

3 months ago

Re looking at this deck it seems really sweet. I feel like haste is really important for Bruna because getting the first swing in to protect her with shroud/hexproof or reanimation is really important. Lightning greaves does this the best with a 0 mana equip cost and Bruna's effect gets around shroud. (so cards like Diplomatic Immunity, Greater Auramancy (a other huge hit to the wallet...), and Protective Bubble have good value)

I'd warrant running tutors just to find lightning greaves so it is a consistant game plan. Steelshaper's Gift, Open the Armory, and Relic Seeker are good budget options and Enlightened Tutor and Stoneforge Mystic the non budget.

Lots of good advice and options above, but I'll chime in anyway!

First, a shameless plug of my own Sunforger deck! Super Smash Boros | Firesong & Sunspeaker EDH

Notable ones already mentioned:

• Tithe
• Teferi's Protection
• Deflecting Palm: biggest "gotcha" card ever
• Enlightened Tutor: not only does it get Sunforger, you can can also get it with Sunforger
• Boros Charm

Options that I don't think were mentioned:

• Chaos Warp: good removal.
• Dawn Charm: flexible fog.
• Settle the Wreckage: havn't had much succes with this personally, but it's an option.
• Argivian Find: good to get some recursion, especially if sunforger get's blown up.
• Dispatch: basically a better swords to plowshares in an artifact deck.
• Intimidation Bolt: good for stopping attacks that you don't want to happen(think Narset, Jeleva, Etali triggers).
• Price of Progress: Most damage for 2 mana you'll get. In the late game it becomes fantastic.
• Sulfurous Blast: another wipe option.
• Rootborn Defenses: protection, populate.

Other sunforger support cards you might want:

• Relic Seeker: Cheap tutor
• Auriok Windwalker: re-equip shenanigans.
• Auriok Steelshaper: smaller equip cost.
• Sculpting Steel: more sunforger!
• Masterwork of Ingenuity: EVEN MORE SUNFORGER!
• Brass Squire: re-equip shenanigans.
• Sigarda's Aid: flash it in, free equip.

And of course you might want your Sram, Senior Edificer and Puresteel Paladin and Danitha Capashen, Paragon. All that fun stuff.

Hope some of this helps!

Here are a few cards you could consider for your Sunforger Package Crackling Doom, Kolaghan's Command, Hide / Seek, Wear / Tear, and Utter End.

Steelshaper's Gift and Relic Seeker are both really cost effective ways to get the equipment you're looking for. You could also run Masterwork of Ingenuity to double up on a good equipment.

Brass Squire is a cheap way to get past equipment costs.

Akiri, Line-Slinger, Kari Zev, Skyship Raider, and Swiftblade Vindicator are cheap minions that hold weapons very well.

I agree with what sagramore is saying, pick a theme with how you want to construct your deck and go from there. From the comments and the way you want to go, which is going wide than stick to anthem like effects and equipments that will help you build your army and ramp.

Since you said you are on a tight budget I'll list some cards that are less than $5 that might be able to help you out.

Rampant Growth, Cultivate, Farseek, Faith's Reward, Wrath of God, Hunter's Insight, Relic Seeker, Auriok Steelshaper, Steelshaper Apprentice, Angel of Jubilation, Remember the Fallen, Cathars' Crusade, Behemoth Sledge, Qasali Pridemage, Leonin Warleader, Prowling Serpopard, Reclamation Sage, and Krosan Grip.

Hope some of the cards listed would be able to help you out!
