legendofa on Is Aura swap an attach …

6 months ago

More Future Sight Weirdness. The card Arcanum Wings allows you to "exchange" it with another aura from your hand. Is this considered attaching the new aura, for effects like Bramble Elemental?

701.3a To attach an Aura, Equipment, or Fortification to an object or player means to take it from where it currently is and put it onto that object or player.

Rulings: ...the Aura with aura swap is put into your hand and the chosen Aura is put onto the battlefield attached to that permanent.

The parallel I'm looking at is a creature entering "tapped and attacking" that was never declared as an attacker, and doesn't get "whenever a creature attacks" triggers. If I aura swap an Aura onto Bramble Elemental, does its trigger go off? Does the new aura become attached, or does it simply enter in a state of attachedness?

I love that idea seshiro_of_the_orochi. Arashi I decided not to play because the deathtouch plan just seemed easier to go with.

Arcanum Wings into Colossification on the other hand... That's something I can get behind!

Thisis a masterpiece andpropablythe most hilarious use for Eutropia. Love it! I have two ideas for you:

First, to play another crappy card: Arashi, the Sky Asunder is spot remocal on the field and another wipe if need be.

Second, you could add in Arcanum Wings and Colossification to have an emergency win-button.

Ok, a little bit of context: My job is basically a social worker in a youth project. There happen(ed) to be working other MtG-people besides me, and many of our youths/young adults are pretty nerdy, although they mostly play other TCGs. We still established some collections for various TCGs, among others obviously an MtG-one. From that pile of cards I build some janky commander decks, and some of them simply function hilariously at that level, and from playing them few times, the ones I like best:

Arni Brokenbrow:

Theme: "Stronger than you"

The deck basically has lots of pump spells, auras and equipment andput those on...no, not Arni himself, but another creature. This way, Arni's boast makes you benefit from the power-boost twice, once for himsrlf and once for his buddy he wants to be stronger then. The most important keyword for the deck to have is first strike to prevent Arni from dying. It is a really weird to play voltron with unusual, but really fun lines of play.

Eutropia the Twice-Favored:

Theme: "Float like a butterfly, hit like a truck"

Little creatures with value abilities, +1/+1 counter synergy, and enchantress effects to hit hard, fast and evasive. The deck has clear voltron qualities, and Eutropia is a lot more dangerous than she looks. The best wincon for the deck isn't included in that version, but if I wereto build her myself, I'd include Arcanum Wings, Colossification and Eldrazi Conscription. In our games there, this deck becomes archenemy in no time, and as it ramps like hell, re-casting Eutropia five or even sic times is usually not that big of a deal.

I also built Najal, the Storm Runner, but haven't had a chance to see him in action, yet. The deck looks super-fun, though, and as sorceries tend to be pretty bad in most games, you automatically get to play cheap cards and make them more powerful.

My latest deck I built at home a little powered down was Kosei, Penitent Warlord. It has a table-kill potential similar to Heartless Hidetsugu, but looks a lot less frightening.

What do say?

This is definitely a deck that that guy with metal shirts would be proud of (I think his YT channel name was EDH Deckbuilding) I'm out here looking at these Arcanum Wings and Hidden Gibbons and being like "what the heck?" lmao

Anyway... Running so many Shrines in your list, I feel like a Paradox Haze would make a very fine addition. Also, maybe just one single tutor could really improve your goal here with Sanctum Weaver.

Love the list! Keeping it thematic with the froggo really is the cherry on top here, and I really enjoy gimmicky and thematic lists as these.

How about some more cool jank?

Arcanum Wings + Eldrazi Conscription on any unblockable or bogle.

Great list! I didn't know Arcanum Wings existed before now, what a fun Aura.

I feel as if Myriad and Phasing have the most design space left unexplored. These both encompass uniquity in Magic's meiny of keywords, and I believe much more could be offered.

Future Sight had given Absorb and Aura Swap , each of which differing from aught else seen.

Lastly, Clash and Entwine are each favourites of mine, being a little narrow in their depicted applications: natheless, easily expanded upon.
