Abu Ja'far

Creature — Human

When Abu Ja'far is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, destroy all creatures blocking or blocked by it. They can't be regenerated.

Nice. Here’s a few suggestions: Siren's Call + Festival, Lightmine Field, Holy Day, Abu Ja'far, Beloved Chaplain, Commander Eesha. Good luck.

@griffstick Leyline only grants legendary typing to a few dorks, so it doesn’t seem that worth it in this deck. I mainly use it to give Abu Ja'far Bands with other legendary creatures, and even then I often find it too janky for me.

White weenie! Back in 2001 or so I ran a 60ish card deck with cards like Icatian Javelineers, Abu Ja'far, White Knight and Glorious Anthem(spent my lunch money on them). It was terrible but we all were back then.

HEY!

This deck looks very frightening O.O and yet I think you can take it further in your "I can have stuff but you get nothing" play style. A few cards that came to mind are..

Abu Ja'far or Loyal Sentry (which is better than deathtouch because the destroy effect doesn't rely on dealing damage, so "prevent damage" won't save their creatures)

Devout Harpist because who doesn't like to tap remove an aura?

Intrepid Hero because who doesn't like to tap remove creature?

Oracle en-Vec because it's funny? if you can withstand some hits, say put in some Fog Bank or maybe with just your ability to control what's already on the field? IDK. I saw it and thought it was cool.

at the very least, these are honorable mentions. Your deck is scary as it is.

that's about all i got for ya xD cool deck!

forgetremembering on Slow Deck... Any help?

I'd take out Abu Ja'far, Adriana, Captain of the Guard, Ajani's Chosen, Ball Lightning, Dream Pillager, Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip, Magma Giant, Platinum Angel, Tormented Pariah  Flip, Humble, Fall of the Hammer, Where Ancients Tread, Jar of Eyeballs.

I'm going to suggest a few budget options without the reason stated right now. Keep in mind Magic is a huge game. Some of us have been playing for a long time and so we have seen a lot of cards, but by no means do i know all the cards. I just know what has worked for me and my Gisela deck.

Manabarbs, Burning Earth, Grab the Reins, Crib Swap, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Revoke Existence, Tajic, Blade of the Legion, Pilgrim's Eye, Staff of Nin, Sunblast Angel, Vandalblast, Seal of Cleansing, Auramancer, Armillary Sphere, Phyrexian Rebirth, and Burnished Hart.

I like the Divine Reckoning in the maybeboard. I've used that card well in the past and its really worked for me.

One of my playgroups had a member who ran Abu Ja'far in his deck. This led to ongoing jokes about how Abu Ja'far is the best card ever and if it resolves for someone, victory is assured.

Pretty sure we had people waste countermagic and removal spells on that card just for laughs.

This then led into talk of Leper tribal decks (fun fact, he's been errata'ed to Human). We concluded nobody has done it because it would be unsporting.

Thanks much for the upvote! :D

You say there are things, but you only named Ranger of Eos. :O I personally like that he grabs my one drops. Guarantees that when I drop him, there will be 2 other creatures coming with him. Also lets me grab Abu Ja'far for serious shenanigans.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Avacyn, Angel of Hope will be my next big adds. Cho-Manno, Revolutionary isn't something I'm worried about. Spirit Bonds, Dictate of Heliod, and Herald of Anafenza were in before, but got cut because they just weren't doing it for me. Emeria Shepherd may get the add, but as for the rest, they're just not soldiers. :O Wanna keep the bulk tribal with only a handfull of non-soldiers. Sudden Disappearance just isn't needed since I can sail past opponents defenses with Odric.

Thanks for all the suggestions!!!
