Crow_Umbra on Garland, the Amethyst Knight

The knight subtheme is cool. I have a few random thoughts more than suggestions:

  • Since Garland's first ability triggers off non-creature spells, would you consider something like Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip? She could help with chaining your cheaper non-creature spells.

  • Untimely Malfunction could be a helpful utility piece, especially clearing out blockers for your Voltron-y stuff.

  • Sazacap's Brew occupies a kinda similar space as options like Demand Answers & Thrill of Possibility.

  • "Further cards that I deem worthy are things that make reference to Chaos", surprised I don't see Chaos Warp in here lol.

  • Not to cross IPs too much, but Brotherhood Regalia could also be a fun equipment piece for Garland.

Thanks for commenting I appreciate your time! I will be adding Retract and Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip to the deck to act as more fuel to the fire, nice suggestions. Saheeli, Sublime Artificer Efficient Construction and Reckless Fireweaver are all cool cards since they give me value based off of my deck style. However the value only seems to be impactful once I storm enough to win the game anyways. Trying to keep the deck to 0-1 drops + cards that fuel by providing mana/the ability to play more lands per turn.

cool deck! it seems to play A lot like my Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain deck Jhoira loves her trinkets

because of the amount of artifacts you're running, stuff like Saheeli, Sublime Artificer & Efficient Construction can help build up a board state

if you've already got Aetherflux out, playing Retract and dumping all your 0 drops onto the board can easily gain you 100 life and kill 2 players. I'd also recommend Reckless Fireweaver for the same reason

Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip can help you storm off even longer

Have you thought about running Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip, Storm-Kiln Artist, or Runaway Steam-Kin? I find these cards allow me to make the most of being able to cast spells every turn in my feather deck

Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might  Flip is an auto include in your deck

Burn decks tends to quickly run out of gas, red being a very fast color. You should reduce your number of land a bit and run a lot of MDFC that will count as a land. Lands are your worst enemy when you try to draw your last burn spell.

Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip is a nice way to recycle your land with its artifact back Harnfel, Horn of Bounty  Flip

Anyway, I love this brew and enjoy playing the game !

Have you considered Grinning Ignus? Great card to rebuild Animar with if he gets removed. Could even add in Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip for free red mana. Plus, infinite combo. And using Vizier, you already would have an infinite mana combo with Grinning and Animar. Add in Urza, Lord High Artificer and now you cast your whole deck. Add in Altar of the Brood and you can just mill everyone and pass turn for wins.

In general though, Grinning Ignus should be an Animar staple. He rebuilds Animar so fas and lets himself be recast for almost free. Plus once Animar gets 2 counters, you start generating free colorless mana. Which, with Vizier, lets you start casting more things.

Also consider Ornithopter of Paradise. Same thing as Birds but it’s colorless so free casting with Animar and free counters.

Best card I’ve seen for Animar because one: it generates mana and paired with something like Vizier of the Menagerie, you go infinite with Animar.

Grinning Ignus. He is self explanatory with Animar. And even if you don’t have the ability to go infinite, make everything a Mountain and you can dump multiple counters on Animar each turn with him. Add in something like Altar of the Brood and now you are doing damage with him to decks.

Now if you want a game winning/play your entire deck Combo: Animar with 2 counters, Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip, Grinning Ignus, and Urza, Lord High Artificer. Animar and Birgi being down, bounce Grinning a million times. You’ll have more than enough mana to cast anything using colorless mana. That’s where Urza comes in with his 5 cost ability. Game over.

Now switch Urza out for Altar of the Brood. Milling wins. And even for someone playing Phyrexian Unlife, you still win.

Best part is if you don’t like the infinite combos, just add Grinning Ignus and leave Birgi and Vizier out. Without a way to generate red mana or use colorless mana as red mana, Grinning is great for rebuilding Animar when someone removes him.

Azoth2099 on Davros, Dragon's Approach

Ok hear me out!

I feel like a sub theme of reanimator leveraging cards like Scholar of the Ages, Archaeomancer & Snapcaster Mage could take your Dragon's Approach strategy to huge heights, especially if you can reduce the cost of each burn with something like Vadrik, Astral Archmage. Since you're already running Birgi, God of Storytelling  Flip, it would be super easy to go infinite with Scholar of the Ages & Burnt Offering if you tie it all together with a trigger doubler like Harmonic Prodigy or Naban, Dean of Iteration.

This strategy would also help you remove a lot of cards that - while synergistic - should eventually be replaced by things that will drastically increase the core strength & resiliency of your deck like Demonic Tutor & Vampiric Tutor in a new, more powerful form.
