Flying, deathtouch

When this enters the battlefield, draw a card.

Balaam__ I was not including cards like Baleful Strix, trying to focus on the cards that you can get repeatable draws off of. Thank you for the suggestion though!

htgtmd - Fellwar Stone and Baleful Strix. I updated the deck list also.

What about one time effects like Mulldrifter or Baleful Strix?

Also, would you count a tribal restriction? Such as when you cast X (Knight, Sliver, etc.), draw a card?

I know you have a maybe board but if you consider there are also artifact, enchantment, and land creatures, then your maybe board could get a bit large.

DemonDragonJ on Baleful Strix or Necromaster Dragon?

8 months ago

I have a copy of Hypersonic Dragon in my Thraximundar EDH deck, but that creature does not fit the theme of that deck, so I have decided to replace it with another creature, and my current two choices are Baleful Strix and Necromaster Dragon, since theya re both very nice cards, indeed, but I am not certian which of them I should choose.

The strix would reduce the mana curve of the deck, which the deck dearly needs, but it is essentially a powerful blocker, whereas the dragon provides some very nice abilities.

What does everyone else say about this? Which creature should I put into my Thraximundar deck?

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Baylen …

I absolutely must put Baylen, the haymaker into my Ghired, Conclave Exile EDH deck, but I am not certain which card I should remove to make room for him, so I would like to ask for advice on that subject.

Every creature in this deck is too good to remove, so I am contemplating replacing either Commander's Sphere or Temple Bell, since Baylen performs the same functions as them, with additional abilities.

Similarly, I must find a way to to put Glarb, calamity's augur into my The Mimeoplasm EDH deck, and I believe that Baleful Strix is the best candidate for replacement, since Glarb also has deathtouch; actually, I just noticed Glarb's ability specifies "spells with mana value 4 or greater," but I should have a sufficient number of spells that meet that criteria to justify putting Glarb into that deck.

What does everyone else say about this subject? How can I put Baylen and Glarb into my decks?

DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Fungal Shambler …

FormOverFunction, that is true, so I suppose that I could experiment.

Also, I have both Baleful Strix and Gretchen Titchwillow in this deck, mainly because they are generically good creatures with low casting costs, but I imagine that there must be creatures who better suit the theme of this deck; what do you think about that?
