I have replaced Inspired Ultimatum and Azor, the Lawbringer with Jeskai Revelation and Jeskai Shrinekeeper, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.65 to 3.63 and also reduced the number of mana symbols in the casting costs of cards in this deck, overall, since the costs of the previous cards were rather strict for this deck.

Titan Engine {7}

Legendary Artifact - Vehicle

Affinity for planeswalkers

Indestructible, trample, vigilance

Titan Engine gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each planeswalker that crews it.

Whenever Titan Engine attacks or blocks, you may activate a loyalty ability of up to one planeswalker who is crewing it.

Crew 5 (Tap any number of planeswalkers you control with total loyalty 4 or more. This vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)

7/6

Not that tapping a Planeswalker has any real in-game effect or consequence, but hey rules are rules.

Make a Planeswalker card for Azor, the Lawbringer. He's the Sphinx that went to Ixalan and lost his spark in the efforts to make the plane a prison as to trap Nicol Bolas using The Immortal Sun

I have replaced Archon of the Triumvirate, Drogskol Reaver, and Nemesis of Reason with Azor, the Lawbringer, Duskmantle Seer, and Queza, Augur of Agonies, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 4.02 to 3.94, which is very nice, as the previous creatures were simply too expensive.

I have replaced Archon of the Triumvirate and Drogskol Reaver with Azor, the Lawbringer and Zurgo and Ojutai, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.76 to 3.71, which is very nice, since the former two creatures were too expensive, and Zurgo and Ojutai have nice synergy with Numot, as well.

ClockworkSwordfish, what cards would you recommend to replace those expensive creatures? I was contemplating Azor, the Lawbringer, Queza, Augur of Agonies and/or Duskmantle Seer, so what do you think about those creatures?

DemonDragonJ on Sphinx's Revelation or Azor, the …

2 years ago

I have Sphinx's Revelation in several of my EDH decks, because I believe that it is an awesome card that can greatly improve a player's situation in the game, but I am wondering if I should replace it with Azor, the Lawbringer in my decks.

Azor has as triggered ability that is the same as Sphinx's Revelation, and, while the ability can be used only under certain circumstances, it is repeatable, which is very nice, and Azor also has a control ability, in addition to being able to attack and block. My only concern is that Azor is much more expensive and requires a far greater investment of mana to fully gain his benefits, which is certainly something worth considering.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Sphinx's Revelation with Azor, the Lawbringer, or leave the former card in my decks?

Sphinxes are such a good one. I kind of like Isperia, Supreme Judge with effects like Siren's Call or Bident of Thassa. I had tried it for a while, and it wasn't amazing, but it did make some big swings sometimes and it does feel good to punish players who are playing, disengage and wait to combo, decks. Blink effects really helped the deck with sphinxes. Blinking a blocker to gain cards off Isperia and then double up on Etb effects was pretty fun. You can even blink Azor, the Lawbringer off Eldrazi Displacer if you want to be mean about it : )

Also, Siren's Call absolutely loves Isochron Scepter and Unwinding Clock if you have creatures to punish with it.
