A simple casual Voltron deck that focus on pumping up Bruna, Light of Alabaster as fast as possible to deal 21 damage to an opponent.
Your main goal is to get Eldrazi Conscription , Battle Mastery and any sort of evasion to be left unblocked such as Spirit Mantle . There is 3 place where Bruna can get her enchantment:
A. The Battlefield, not only yours, but theirs also. If you have any mean to steal an Aura from somebody else, please do it!
B. Your Hand. Just by tutoring some card in your hand you can avoid paying the large cost of some by attacking with Bruna.
C. Your Graveyard. They have Enchantment hate, no problem, just get it from your graveyard. Mirror-Mad Phantasm is there just to make sure you can have a chance to get what you want into your graveyard.
Several cards are there only to fasten your quest for Ridiculously Threatening Aura; Sovereigns of Lost Alara , Academy Rector , Idyllic Tutor , Three Dreams and Enlightened Tutor .
While White and Blue give you some good protection for your card and some extra evasion she lacks the Red that give you the needed Haste to make sure you can hit someone hard without them having the time to retaliate. There is some colorless option for making her haste that have been added to the deck; Swiftfoot Boots , Lightning Greaves , Helm of Kaldra and Sword of Vengeance with the added benefit of making her even scarier.
Now, if somehow you're not able to get Bruna out, there is an other way to win this game:
Take control of their Commander to deal the 21 Commander damage. No better humiliation. You may even pump their general so it deal more damage, careful though if they have Enchantment hate.
And another Ring of Valkas from M13?
@Crivaro I really do like the Intuition idea, but for the Ring of Valkas I fell like it's not worth a spot, I'm already trying to figure out what I shall remove for the Intuition, I almost feel like every card in this this is worth its spot.
@maiden77 It's a great card, I've already considered it, but as it cost 7 and I have only very few way of tutoring non-equipement artifact I'd prefer to leave it out of the deck for now. And it should make me the prime target in a multiplayer game. I might reconsider it with more playtest of this deck.
Would have been awesome if you could put Zur the Enchanter in there, it's my favourite.
I'm curious, what are Followed Footsteps and Infinite Reflection used for? I would think Clone or a similar creature would be better than Footsteps at copying an opponent's creature or killing their general. When would you want to use Reflection? To make everything a copy of your opponent's best bomb creature? I don't see that many amazing creatures in your deck you would want to use these on.
@hunter9000 I very too few way to tutor creature card compared to enchantment, but you're right atm those two card along with Mirror Gallery are the card I'm doubting the most their efficiency. So far I've never had the chance to get there, playtest on Cockatrice have led me to very fast win from my side, and the more a game goes the harder it gets for me to set up combo especially when my opponent have graveyard hate.
I like this deck a lot. I've been wanting to make it since I pulled Bruna a while ago, but don't have the old enchantment support.
Just curious, was Mirror-Mad Phantasm not working for you?
@KevinLS So far in all the playtest I had, not even a single time I was happy to draw a Mirror-Mad Phantasm , the only time it's useful it's when I have Bruna, Light of Alabaster in play or ready to play and while being sure my opponent have no way to counter my coming out and I'm lacking just some fire power. So it's very conditional to the fact that a 1toughness body is able to survive and trigger it's ability at 7 mana in a single turn. Still looking for a decent replacement.
As for my Bruna being Tucked, I based myself by having high-evasion creature with some aura on them, it's a lot harder to pull out, I've so far not being able to recover in a mutliplayer game from a Condemn for example. But in 1v1 I was able to slow the game an control high treat with Gilded Drake , Control Magic , Treachery , Aura Thief , Acquire , and Blatant Thievery .
In regards to Bruna being tucked I'm curious why you don't run some Counterspell and the like to prevent that from happening. It seems like you might find room for one or two more, just to keep that Wrath of God or Condemn from resolving while you're on the cusp of victory.
I built this like a couple of months ago and it was to amazing. Yours on the other hand needs more hexproof/shroud, and especially more enchantments! Also needs some clone cards. I personally built an enchant deck that wrecked, and in case it got bad i had a fine selection of angels. The thing i hate most is that it's to weak against clones and bounce spells.
Corrupted Conscience is a MUST in bruna edh decks, not only can you swing with an infect bruna but you can flicker the aura on to another creature with Venser, the Sojourner . (who really needs to be in there.) Also, Avacyn, Angel of Hope is a direct upgrade to Deathless Angel . Sigil of Sleep is RIDICULOUSLY useful for getting big beaters off of your case. Copy Enchantment , Greater Auramancy , Indestructibility , oh hell I'm just sitting here going though my Bruna deck: deck:i-aint-fraid-of-no-geist check it out for more.
@Ohthenoises I've been watching some of you deck lately, I have to say I've already say your Bruna EDH, mine was already created at that moment and didn't want to alter it too much.
My issue right now it what to remove and what to keep, I'm having a hard time figuring what need to be dropped. So far like you said, Avacyn, Angel of Hope can be an easy replacement for Deathless Angel . Corrupted Conscience , Copy Enchantment should get a spot, I've been thinking about Venser, the Sojourner and Indestructibility for a while also.
Yea usually I don't plug my deck but I had the paper one in front of me updating it here and I was literally just looking at it going "that's good, that's good too, he might want that..." lol
I don't like your inclusion of Necropouncer in this deck. What you're looking for is cheap haste enablers to let Bruna grab her buffs quicker, and 6 mana to cast and 2 mana to equip is a whole lot! You're better off using Helm of Kaldra or even [Strider Harness] in my opinion.
@shermanido37 Thanks for the recommendation, I took it as soon as you mentioned it, you're totally right,
