Blackerhawk on Affinity and what to cut

2 weeks ago

Hey nuperokaso , thanks for the input. Black mana was in the deck for the alternative equip cost of Cranial Plating, but Mistvault Bridge coming into play tapped does slow me down. I do have 4 Memnites and 4 Welding Jars in my collection, and could replace the remaining 2 Myr Enforcers with those. Or maybe instead of the Gingerbrute? Would you go Fling over Shrapnel Blast? As it can do a lot more damage with the Cranial Plating attached to a creature and with the Arcbound Ravager after he eats the rest of the crew...

I greatly appreciate your response and any other input is more than welcome.

You will need to remove 18 card to get to 60: - 2 Mystic Forge and 4 Deadly Dispute - Affinity is an aggro deck; it wants to put additional creatures on board, not just draw cards. You may leave Thoughtcast and Thought Monitor. That will also rid you of black color entirely. - 4 Mistvault Bridge - 22 lands is too much for a 60 card deck that mostly plays free spells. You also don't want to draw multiple tapped lands. - 2 Shrapnel Blast - You don't want multiples in your opening hand, because then you won't have enough artifacts to cast your spells. You are also playing another sacrifice outlet (Arcbound Ravager) and too many sacrifice effect have diminishing returns. - 2 Myr Enforcer - You were playing 12 7 mana spells, that's simply too much. You can't keep opening hand with 4 of them. - 4 Lotus Petal - The only card in your deck that was not Modern legal. Also it's useless in longer game.

After these cuts, your deck has 60 card. However, 10 of them are non-artifacts, which may be more than you would like.

I will also give you a few other tips: - If you are too low on 0 mana cost cards, try Memnite or Welding Jar. Jar does something even in longer game, unlike your original Lotus Petal. - Nettlecyst - Acts similarly to the Cranial Plating, but comes with a body and has a good toughness. If you would play it, I suggest that you replace them for Arcbound Ravager, as they are doing opposite things.

Gidgetimer on Treasure Gun CEDH deck

Closest I can think of would be Magda, Brazen Outlaw cEDH. It makes infinite treasures and then uses them as the main engine for the win. You, however; are not technically sacrificing the treasures to do infinite damage to players. You are setting up a loop where you cast and recur Lightning Bolt infinitely with the treasures as the motive force for the other actions necessary. You could substitute in Shrapnel Blast if the flavor of that is more what you are wanting and still hang at cEDH tables, but you are giving up some optimization for flavor.

My friend has a good primer on his deck if you are interested in seeing the complete breakdown.

Update PT2

I ended up Choosing Kari Zev's Expertisex2 to replace Shrapnel Blast

Straight up won a round by stealing a red creature from someone while the 3rd chronicle of The Flame of Keld was an active, decent combo.

Sideboard coming soon.

Hey, are you still actively playing the deck ?
I picked it up 2 weeks ago and I'm myself not sure about the exact decklist. Do you mind giving me some input ?
Current decklist here with some links to youtube videos and a reddit thread.
I run more burn in the form of Shrapnel Blast and I also run Ramunap Ruins because it enters untapped.

Icbrgr on New Saheeli Brew Ideas

1 year ago

So Yesterday I saw the card text of the new Saheeli planswalker and am curious what kind of deck she could be used in.

I am interested in building around her in a constructed format (not standard) but dont really know what the right direction would be... I doubt she has any viability for Modern but maybe there is something that can be done with her in Pioneer?

My first initial thoughts were cards like Ensoul Artifact and Shrapnel Blast for some artifact synergy... but currently am kinda struggling with a direction to take the deck into that makes the planswalker feel useful/wanted rather than her just being in the deck.

TL;DR

• Does anyone have any deck ideas for the new Saheeli card?

Saheeli, Filigree Master Show

Saheeli, Filigree Master

Mana Cost: {2}{U}{R}

3

+1: Scry 1. You may tap an untapped artifact you control. If you do, draw a card.

-2: Create two 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature tokens with flying. They gain haste until end of turn.

-4: You get an emblem with “Artifact creatures you control get +1/+1” and “Artifact spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.

Same here, I have an attachment to artifacts as I was introduced to MTG as Mirrodin came out and built a pet artifact deck over the years ☺️ As such, i have to recommend Shrapnel Blast and Galvanic Blast. both are quite strong and aggressive :)

I don't know if it's necessarily better than Shrapnel Blast but Foundry Helix could be a good card in this deck
