Okay! Do you think I need an artifact to do the same thing with all the artifact recurison/tutoring in the deck?

Also, I have heard quite a few people talk about that problem with Dissipation Field , but I've said, "Oh I'll have counterspells to work with!" It may work, it may not, but I think with all these board wipes and tuck effects, I've got plenty of ways to deal with large armies/voltrons. I ALSO realized something that I could take a great advantage of: Isochron Scepter . Do you think I can take out Dissipation Field for it?

I really want to use Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , but I'm at a lack of what to take out for it... hmm...

Playtesting will be fun, I'll be proxying her up tomorrow!

Lol, I just thought you had some neat lingo for those things (I figured what you meant, but thought you meant to say it as you did). XD

On second thought, I don't really like Isochron Scepter . I also don't like Act of Authority since I don't want people to exile my own stuff...

So in with Pulsemage Advocate for creature recursion and Devout Witness to deal with those pesky noncreatures instead...

You don't need Act of Authority I'd rather just have all the versions of O-ring.

Isochron Scepter Might not be good in this deck because you don't have a ton of instants. On the other hand, my Arbiter deck underwent a couple changes and now has 33 instants. So I included it.

I think Elspeth, Knight-Errant would also be a very good include in here. She boosts up your commander to the crucial 7 damage (the jump from 6 to 7 damage is the difference between 4 turn and 3 turn clocks, or 6 turn clocks at 4 damage). She adds another way to win. Her ultimate is always welcome too. She's not even bad on her own because she makes tokens.

Also, if you want to include Elesh Norn, you could always take out a board wipe for her? I mean that's essentially what she does vs token decks and well any deck running a lot of utility creatures. Even then she makes your most insignificant creatures able to block and deal lethal to their big creatures.

Yeah, I took it out, cause it saddens me...

I have a total of ten nice targets for it, but that's just not enough for me.

Elspeth, Knight-Errant works really well with my commander as you mentioned, but I don't think that it's worth a spot in the deck, because a 4-drop that makes a 1/1 each turn isnt a win con in my opinion unless, of course, I'm playing a token deck. The ultimate alone is also not enough... Honestly, I'd rather run Avacyn, Angel of Hope .

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is something I'll have to look into, because it seems like the effect might be even better than a board wipe.

I feel like you should defiantly have a nice Viridian Longbow in here. Infinite turns is always a good option.

Medomai only triggers off of combat damage

It appears I need to read cards a little more closely. Sorry about that

Hey no worries bro! It happens to everyone xD thanks for the comment though:)

You can add in a double strike artifact card to get two extra turns since the mechanic is basically two separate damages based on the body's power. One swing and boom! Two turns please :D

Overall, great deck :D

Woops.. made a mistake.. did not see True Conviction :D Awesome card :D

September 13, 2014 4:35 a.m.

MagicalHacker says... #13

Thanks :) usually I like those types of combos, but I wanted to stick to cards that actually did something in a control deck as well, so True Conviction was the only inclusion. Fireshrieker , Grappling Hook , and Silverblade Paladin were cut because of that reason.

Ohh I see :D Btw, I've used your decklist on my friends :D Hahaha they hate me now :D Thanks for putting up the deck list :D +1

MagicalHacker says... #15

Thanks xD I'm glad I could help you have fun. :) I keep noticing more hilarious combos, like how Medomai the Ageless can double lockdown with the Academy Ruins + Mindslaver combo, or how it can eliminate the waiting period for Felidar Sovereign . So cool.

Hahaha of my god :D I'd love to see that happen in one of my games :D

MagicalHacker says... #17

Yeah, i almost feel dirty when I attack with Medomai, get his extra turn trigger, cast the Sovereign, go to my next turn, and win out of nowhere.

drakomel777 says... #18

Hahahaha :D I have to try that one time around :D I can already feel the hatred my friends have for me :D amazing deck man :D The counter cards really help in making sure Medomai lives through :D Oh yea, have you tried Tunnel Vision with this? :D Spell Crumple or Hinder + Tunnel Vision ftw :D

I think the biggest problem with it is The fact that it doesn't kill multiple people, and it only really works in 1v1.

drakomel777 says... #20

Ohh I see... Oh yes, do you have any plans on working on a Narset, Enlightened Master edh? :D She seems like a badass and fun card :D

September 14, 2014 11:07 p.m.

MagicalHacker says... #21

Chasm Skulker would be great in this deck!

September 21, 2014 9:38 a.m.

MagicalHacker says... #25

Chasm Skulker Is something I'm going to test out! I've never seen it in EDH before surprisingly, (only standard decks oddly), so I'll test it out as a wincon as well. Thanks!
