Came here from your forum post.

This deck has way too many legendaries, but I'll assume you want it that way. So why not add something to use the mana your Radha produces on attack?

Phoenix Chick would do good work here. It synergizes with Radha's attack trigger and also has haste for Samut. And it's quite the house when you target it with Al and Hal. It would overall be a great addition. So replace your two copies of Spidersilk Armor with it, and while you're at it, also take out either Dragonlair Spider or Runes of the Deus for Chicks 3 and 4. That way, you reduce your average MV by a ton and even increase synergy.

I have just made some major changes to this deck; for the first time ever, I have changed the general of this deck, replacing Uril, the Miststalker with Marath, Will of the Wild, because, while Uril was certainly an excellent general, it did not match the theme of this deck, which contained a mere six auras, whereas Marath does, and, upon making that change, I have decided to further emphasize this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters, specifically, by replacing Armadillo Cloak, Bear Umbra, Runes of the Deus, Scourge of the Nobilis, Shield of the Oversoul, and Snake Umbra with All Will Be One, Cathars' Crusade, Warleader's Call, Fertilid, Kalonian Hydra, and Steelbane Hydra; I had contemplated putting Forgotten Ancient in this deck, but I was not able to find space for it, and I also wish to minimize overlap with or similarities between this deck and my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, and, while this deck does not have quite as great of an emphasis on generating creature tokens as does my Ghired, Conclave Exile EDH deck, I still believe that it has a sufficient focus to justify the inclusion of Warleader's Call, which also has great synergy with Tamanoa. I also replaced Titanic Ultimatum with Pathbreaker Ibex, because the creature can use its ability repeatedly. I had considered putting Cabaretti Ascendancy into this deck, but I feel that this deck does not contain quite a sufficient number of creature cards to justify the inclusion of that card.

Overall, these changes reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 40.6 to 4.05, which is only a minimal change, but doing so also reduced the number of colored mana symbols in this deck, which is also a very good thing.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you believe that I did well with overhauling this deck?

Captain_Howel You are correct about All Will Be One. I've adjusted the primer.

I'll try out Runes of the Deus. Thank you!

Ulasht player here, love the deck! I'm a bit confused though; in the description you say All Will Be One hits all opponents, but reading the rules text it really sounds like it only hits one. How do you make it hit all of them?

Anyway, for cards I recommend Runes of the Deus. If you devour a board that's just a little too small, like 4 creatures giving you 16/16, you can really surprise somebody with Runes on the next turn.

I have replaced Fists of the Demigod, Gift of the Deity, and Runes of the Deus with Necrogenesis, Golgari Findbroker, and Shattergang Brothers, which decreased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.98 to 3.95, which is only a minor decrease, but every decrease is welcome, so my deck now has an additional method of generating tokens, an additional sacrifice outlet, and an additional source of card recursion. I still have not yet decided what shall replace _Eldrazi Monument, but I shall replace that card, soon, as well.

DemonDragonJ on Elemental Storm

I have made several changes to this deck, as follows:

I replaced Vithian Renegades with Reclamation Sage, because the latter creature is more versatile.

I have replaced Vedalken Orrery with Tidal Barracuda, which is one less card that shall synergize with Wandering Mind but one more card that shall synergize with Riku, himself.

I have replaced Clout of the Dominus, Favor of the Overbeing, and Runes of the Deus with Galvanic Iteration, Regrowth, and Rite of Replication, since the auras did not match the theme of this deck, but the new cards most certainly do. I had contemplated putting Flame of Anor in this deck, but the deck contains only two wizards: Riku himself and Dualcaster Mage, so that card would not work well in this deck, and I also very much wished to put See Double in this deck, as well, but the fact that that spell cannot be copied reduces its potential synergy with this deck's strategy.

Amazingly, the average converted mana cost of this deck remained the same at 3.82, but the color distribution is now slightly different.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep the Demigod …

1 year ago

I have the red/blue/green "demigod auras" (i.e., Clout of the Dominus, Favor of the Overbeing, and Runes of the Deus) in my Riku of Two Reflections EDH deck, but I am considering replacing them with different cards, since they do not contribute to the deck's theme and are in the deck mainly to make Riku more powerful, so that he is more difficult to remove from the battlefield, once I summon him.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I keep those auras in my Riku deck?

Strionic Resonator would double your exiled cards and add to Pako's counters. Its not too expensive.

Runes of the Deus is a bit mana heavy but if Pako is a decent size you could attack with impunity and cause massive damage.
