Combat Combo

Commander Deck Help forum

Hi Forum

I was wondering whetever Aurelia, the Warleader & Combat Celebrant make "recurring" 3 combat steps. As you attack for the first time and extert Combat Celebrant which will give you another combat, secondly Aurelia, the Warleader will give you another combat, will you be able to use both of these combats, and choose not to tap Combat Celebrant to attack after aurelia untapped it, so you can use it again next turn.

To me it seems like it would't work since the combats would overlap, but i am not sure :)

Hope you can help me out with my little combo conundrum :)

Yes, this would give you 3 combats. However, if you exert the Celebrant during the first combat, they won't untap during the second one. What you would want to do is get one combat with Aurelia, and then exert Combat Celebrant during your second combat, to untap your creatures for the third combat.

Giving Combat Celebrant Vigilance helps too! You don't get any more combats but he stays untapped for your next turn!

Do you have a deck list up yet? I'd be happy to take a look!

SteelSentry: Arhh i see, so Combat Celebrant will be tapped when i pass the turn, but get untapped once Aurelia, the Warleader attacks the next turn, correct?

Suns_Champion: I have that in mind yes, i have very few vigilance giving cards in my deck, but would rather focus on just the attacking aspect, but definetly something i have in mind if i come across a card with that ability.

Oh, that would be awesome if you could do that :) I am looking for any kind of feedback in regards to cuts, adds and normal tuning. Here is a link: Decklist

Odysseus_97 Given that Aurelia, the Warleader is a Boros commander, and there are quite a few different token strategies and such in those colours, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker for one, then you could potentially make copies of those creatures (probably Celebrant because legend rule) and then have more combats!

scotchtapedsleeves: Yeah, it does seem like a powerful synergy, but i do have a Krenko, Mob Boss EDH deck where i use Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and i would like for my EDH decks to have some variety so I decided not to include him. Thank you for the great suggestion though.

Odysseus_97 Honestly, even though you want variety I seriously think that he is worth the include, even if it's just an effect like his. I can't think of any alternatives right now, but you could do a quick search in gatherer and find a few!

Yeah, Splinter Twin might be something to consider instead if i dont want to include him since i use him in my goblin deck.
