Bruna But Different?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Aug. 19, 2020, 9:02 p.m. by EleshNornsFs
I have never actually played voltron before, so I wanted to give it a shot and Bruna, Light of Alabaster seemed like an interesting choice. Is there a different, fringe build for her. In theory, you could just slap some enchantments in there, or pick all the optimal, foolproof enchantments, but do y'all know any more interesting cards or combos to put in a Bruna Voltron?

Mirror-Mad Phantasm is some super secret bruna tech too.

Nah, go broke: Nomads en-Kor and Cephalid Illusionist to mill yourself out, putting Nexus of Fate
as your last card, so you attack, get every aura back, and get infinite turns.

Wow. Those are some really spicy pieces of Bruna tech. Personally, I love the self-mill strategy, but I don't think it is terribly viable in Azorius. It might be better to accomplish the goal of filling the graveyard by using the blue to draw EXCESSIVELY and discard down.
It seems SynergyBuild corrected me on the viability of self mill. Got any more combos like that? The only one I know is the Underworld Breach storm combo.

I mean, you don't really need a huge amount of self mill. Intuition is one of the better enchantment tutors in Bruna. I have seen some lists run Traumatize but I personally think you set yourself up for a Bojuka Bog or similar hitting yourself with that level of self mill. Sure, if you can combo with it, but if you still need to win over multiple (non-consecutive) turns than I would avoid self mill.

My playgroup hasn't really caught o nvm that a majority of my decks involve the graveyard pretty heavily. One guy has figured it out, so his be-all end-all solution is Grafdigger's Cage which wouldn't really affect Bruna. For my own personal uses, I'm not really worried about graveyard hate.

I love Vanishing in my Geist of Saint Traft aura Voltron deck since with how phasing works it will bring all the auras with it when it phases, making it really good for keeping your commander safe.

Drowned Secrets, Jace's Erasure, Fraying Sanity all fit your enchantment theme as well as being able to be used on yourself to mill. If you are on self mill you just as well take a look at the aftermath, flashback, and jump-start cards so you can still get value off the cards going into your yard

Play a full dedicated Reality Acid deck. The point is to just cast Reality Acid on their permanents, then flicker Reality Acid to get rid of them.
It’s a lot of fun.

Alrighty, here she is. Bruna Forgets Everything. What do y'all think?

XD apparently you blocked me, that's cool, idk why you did, but I'm glad you could use my combo suggestion!
August 20, 2020 5:08 p.m. Edited.
Perhaps auras that you can sac to generate value then getting them back with her.

SynergyBuild XD My phone screen was glitching out really bad when I was looking at another forum thread a while back. I guess I forgot. Sorry. You're unblocked now.
shadow63 I think that is an excellent idea, but I don't know any that fit that description. Any that come to mind?

personally, I'd like to see a self-mill strategy, since Bruna can get auras back from the graveyard.
