SaberTech on Naya tricks

2 months ago

Yeah, I was a bit confused about what you were asking for because spells like Guided Strike that are used to influence combat situations are what are typically called "combat tricks". I didn't clue in that you might have meant meant creatures with combat related triggered abilities until after I had already posted.

In naya colours, some creatures with notable combat related abilities include:

(3 or less mana) - Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Arabella, Abandoned Doll, Jacked Rabbit, Kellan, Daring Traveler, Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd, Syr Faren, the Hengehammer, Tilonalli's Summoner, Arni Metalbrow, Breeches, Eager Pillager, Combat Celebrant, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Laelia, the Blade Reforged, Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist, Ogre Battlecaster, Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon.

(Over 3 mana) Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Odric, Master Tactician, Hero of Bladehold, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, Kogla, the Titan Ape, Aurelia, the Warleader.

Honestly, there are a ton of useful options that I didn't list. It all depends on what sort of deck you want to build.

Since you have some of that legendary creature subtheme going here, I would suggest Jirina, Dauntless General for the deck as it enters to nuke a grave, but can be sacrificed to protect other humans, namely Squall. This is really good if you can get Squall through to hit OP as it can be a recursive protection card.

If you like the idea Jirina, but find the human only syergy lacking, then I would suggest Selfless Savior or Selfless Spirit as good alternate options. The Spirit is great for its evasive qualities and can be a decent attacker since if it attacks alone with Squall on board, it can pressure 4 in air easily.

If you want another great legend that pairs with the legend human theme, then I suggest Adeline, Resplendent Cathar as it creates human tokens and is an amazing curve into squall for attacking by itself for the doublestrike bonus (attack trigger token will not stop the doublestrike trigger).

Guide of Souls Would be a great 1 drop for your deck as it can help give Squall flying if you have enough energy built up and it can build up energy by itself at a good enough rate you don't need other energy based cards to run. This would also pair very well with the Adeline if you chose to include.

Some useful disruption I have had succes with (when in standard) is Momentum Breaker. This card is useful for being nontraget removal to deal with ward/hexproof but also great because it make OP discard if no threat on board so you can even pressure hand with it. This is great for deck as you can sacrifice for small life to get in grave to recur and pressure OP board/hand more.

A side optin you can run over the Tidehollow Sculler would be Deep-Cavern Bat as it is an evasive threat that does the same thing roughly, but is easier on the mana types and has lifelink. If you want a human you could use Kitesail Freebooter and would only be good for trying to syergise with Kudro you currently have in deck.

Cards I am not caring fo rtoo much in your list would be Judge Magister Gabranth, Killian, Ink Duelist, and Corpse Knight. Judge is good for sacrificed focus decks, but you don't have any sac outlets or token strats to make this really work. Killian feels out of placed with the lack of targeted interactions that benefit his cost reduction. Lastly Corpse Knight just never works out for me unless I am playing some combo deck that dumps alot of creatures on the board.

Hope these options help. If you would like more suggestions I am will to recomend more. Whether it be looking for more general good cards or going for specfici theme cards.

This looks like a lot of fun, but aside from generating tokens (and I presume, attack with them) wouldn't you also want to benefit from them in some other way? Some ideas would include draw (through cards like Dark Prophecy, Mentor of the Meek or Skullclamp), boosting all the creatures on your side of the field with something like Cathars' Crusade or adding some more benefits to profit from their deaths with cards like Attrition, Blood Artist/Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim/Zulaport Cutthroat or Pitiless Plunderer.

Ow, in terms of more token-generation ideas, how about:

• Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
• Elenda, the Dusk Rose
• Hallowed Spiritkeeper
• Kambal, Profiteering Mayor

Hope the brew works out!

Not sure you want to go this route, but considering you've added enchantments to increase your token generation, would it make sense to add more creatures in here that generate additional tokens too? Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Emmara, Soul of the Accord, Mycoloth and Voice of Victory to name but a few effective ones. Also, the new Elspeth, Storm Slayer seems almost tailor-made for this deck. Granted, she's a bit expensive, but man can she bea powerhouse in here.

Big thanks for the +1 and thoughtful suggestions. I do feel like I need to remind you that Blasphemous Act is stymied by Brave the Elements. And on top of that, this deck often wins with only 3-4 creatures in play.

It's been quite a while that I updated this deck at all until just recently. I'm sure there are other spells that I should be swapping in. The last time I was really putting any work into this deck, The Ozolith was under $10 lol, and Path to Exile was over $5. And Aether Vial was like $25.

I like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar - I actually built a deck around her specifically. (see Sweet Adeline) I suppose I could put in place of Mangara of Corondor, which is rather slow anyway.

I'll def do some work on this and see if I can bring it up to the year 2025 :)

This is precisely why Blasphemous Act goes in all of my red decks :) Seems super strong for the budget. Of course humans really wants Cavern of Souls, but beyond that I don't think an optimized deck will perform too differently from this one. Adeline, Resplendent Cathar is awesome for humans, and she's not TOO much around $5 I think. I'd also rec Dewdrop Cure (or Sevinne's Reclamation) maybe to replace your immortal servitude, I think these are both a tad more efficient and flexible. Nice budget list!

I run a Adeline, Resplendent Cathar tribal humans/anthems deck that can get out of control very quickly. If you're in a four-person pod, Adeline makes three tokens a turn. If you stack anthems like Cathars' Crusade, all creatures you control permanently get +3/+3, including the tokens that just ETB'd off of her effect, making you go from 7 power on board (Adeline + three tokens) to 19 power on board (7 from Adeline, 12 from 3 4/4 tokens).

The only problem with the deck is it's mono-white, however I honestly genuinely enjoy building in mono-white. It's a challenge due to all your mana ramp being weird like Tithe or Land Tax, and all your card draw options giving opponents benefits like Secret Rendezvous or Cut a Deal. Either way, I enjoy the challenge. Since Adeline, Resplendent Cathar is mono-white, you have a fairly wide range of prison/stax options if you really wanted to go that route to control the board. Smokestack is a great option since you're constantly generating tokens and can just pay for it with them.

RiotRunner789, you are 100% correct - the quest for perfection is never complete.

I just feel a certain way about some cards for no apparent reason, and Smuggler's Share is one of those cards I just feel iffy on. I don't really have a good reason as to why - I just don't really like it for whatever reason.

I thought about Well of Lost Dreams. Honestly I kind of like it more than Dawn of Hope as you could potentially pay 1:1 instead of 2:1. However it comes with the downside of being two more mana. Honestly though thinking about it I may end up swapping the two. You might've convinced me.

As for Court of Grace, I just don't vibe with the Monarch mechanic. I don't really have a good reason as to why, I just don't. I could consider it as you're right - protecting the Monarch title is easier with a bunch of fat flying angels. I'll consider it.

As for Reconnaissance, you might've just convinced me to put it into another deck I run, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar. I had been considering it for some time, but I completely forgot about the cleanup step after damage is dealt. I didn't even consider using it then, haha. Unsure about it for Giada, but definitely for Adeline.
