Copy/Steal EDH deck
Deck Help forum
Posted on Sept. 17, 2014, 7:37 a.m. by Named_Tawyny
I'm thinking about making an EDH deck designed around copying and stealing my opponents' stuff. You? Me too!
Any suggestions for creatures/instants/sorceries/etc.. that would fit would be much appreciated.

I now you made it with Grixis, but Esper is definitely the way to go. I built a deck around Merieke Ri Berit (Merieke Berit and the Infinite Sadness ) that focuses on stealing creatures and making my opponents have a bad day.

Acquire and Thada Adel, Acquisitor have always been successful for me. I think what makes them really good is that you get to search their library for anything you want. Most other steal/copy effects require the target to already be in play, potentially already wrecking your face.
Most decks will be running at least some artifacts. If you're lucky it will be a Sword of Value and Protection, or something ridiculous like Akroma's Memorial , Mindslaver , etc. Even grabbing a mana rock can put you way ahead.

Sakashima's Student is one of my favorite cards ever. Because ninjitsu clone for 2 CMC. Epic.
