SlangNTrees13 on Embers of Queen Disa (Best Win Pyro EDH Primer)

Hey KongMing I chose not to include any surveil except for the two Manor lands only because I would ask right away, what synergy here would you take away from to add surveil in? We need every ramp, removal and land we have and the 2 surveil each from Pile On and Price of Fame I don't think are worth removing our two global effects Blasphemous Act or Toxic Deluge for. Both Dragon's Rage Channeler and Grim Flayer were in my original version of this deck, believe they are also in precon? So thanks for reminding me about them cause will add into Maybeboard. They had just come out for me a very long time ago. Grim Flayer I do still really like, but I went away from creature abilities you need stipulations to trigger for more sure thing instant, sorceries, or artifacts for our mill effects which are harder to remove and it seems to have paid off for me. Rage's bonus of being a flyer for Disa's combat trigger is nice though. Unshakable Tail I had never seen before, so thanks for that one. As great as the ability is, its on a more easy to remove creature and as great as that clue ability would be in this deck, we don't have many turns we have an extra 2-4 mana to utilize them. Clues are great in an emergency though. Will keep it in mind. Uurg, Spawn of Turg I like as well, the life gain effect is nice touch, but I'd rather again have these effects not come from a creature and I don't feel its worth giving up one of our spells that can throw multiple cards at once into our yard for. The one I really like here that I can see putting in instead of Lumra or another 5-6 drop is Doom Whisperer. The 5 mana cost we reserve for only our best effect creatures and this could easily be justified as one of them. I also like when things are dire, with Disa and this Doom out, you can go for the hail mary and pay 20-30 life and dump a ridiculous amount of Disa Goyf triggers onto the battlefield for the win. Next update I think I will definitely try and slot this in. Thanks!

Out - Austere Command Blasphemous Act Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants Ajani, Strength of the Pride Ajani, Caller of the Pride Ascend from Avernus White Sun's Zenith - this you can keep if you have an extra slot otherwise get rid of it. Trove Warden

I’ll make more comments later.

Cool Budget deck!

Some ideas:

Red Elemental Blast

Brawn maybe??

Hunter's Insight

Garruk's Uprising or Colossal Majesty

Overwhelming Stampede

Heroic Intervention

Chaos Warp

Blasphemous Act + Wrap in Vigor is fun

Sakura-Tribe Elder

Managorger Hydra

Happy brewing!!

Originally it was due to the density of the 5CMC slot and that I had some reactionary spells and board wipes I didn't want to cascade into.

However, since then the board wipes in the deck now are asymmetrical or Blasphemous Act which has a CMC too high to cascade into. I guess that only leaves Negate and Swan Song for feel bad cascade hits.

I'll have to reconsider The First Sliver. The question would be what to take out.

EquivocalVision on Shanghai Dawn - Obeka, Splitter of Seconds

Hey Crow_Umbra! Thank you for the feedback! Yeah. I'm still working out those types of kinks. The play testing I've done thus far has all just been via tappedout playtest system. But yeah. I'll probably add in other staples as I weed out the unnecessary sub-themes. There's just so much fun to be thrown in, it's hard. Lol. Didn't even try for Blasphemous Act or Damnation. Since it's not super creature heavy and mainly slants more towards enchantments, added creature boardwipes and spot removal sounds perfect. Because I won't be blocking with Obeka unless I have to. Enchantment removal is definitely something I'll look at. Maybe artifact removal too since my playgroup seems to slant more towards that than enchantments, but great suggestions. I'll need to eventually make room for some removal for sure. Counterspells have always been more defensively played for me as they're basically "remove target permanent" before they enter the battlefield, and give me a little more general application. But yeah. We'll see where it lands. If you've got any more suggestions, I'm all ears, and definitely check back! This thing's gonna evolve for years to come. Lol.

Ninth Bridge Patrol will be destroyed and won't get counters.

A creature getting destroyed for lethal damage is one of the game's "state based actions" (SBAs). Right before each time a player would get priority to take another action, the game checks for any necessary SBAs and processes them all simultaneously (it checks again to see if that caused any more SBAs to come up and only moves on once there's nothing left to do). In your example this means all the creatures lethally damaged by Blasphemous Act die simultaneously, including Ninth Bridge Patrol. Technically the Patrol does trigger all those times since a "leaves the battlefield" ability can see other things that leave the battlefield the same time as its source, but when those triggers resolve nothing will happen because the object they would have put the counters on is gone.

If I control 14 creatures including Ninth Bridge Patrol and then cast Blasphemous Act, is he destroyed? I believe the answer is yes, but I also realize he still has his ability trigger 13 times. I’m a bit confused about the order of events.

am3ience : Doesn't look like Guerric has been on in over a year so his list is a little outdated. He also made some budget choices. Depending on the power level of your pod you may want to look at stronger support. I've been playing Giada semi-regularly since release and my list has evolved over time:

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/help-me-giada-youre-my-only-hope/

There a few notable angels in the year since this list:

Inspiring Overseer - while it released the same time as Giada, Guerric didn't include it. When you're going for a blink theme and Sword of Hearth and Home is out then you can essentially gain life and draw an extra card once per turn.

Guardian of Ghirapur - if you have any ETB effect angels then this one can help immensely. Or if you picked up Throne of Eldraine then you can reset it, leaving 4 white up on opponents turns which is typically the magic number for protection.

Metropolis Reformer - It's a cheap angel at 2W, has vigilance as a keyword, provides us hexproof from targeted spells and semi-lifegain from blocks or a Blasphemous Act

Firemane Commando - While it's a 4 drop it provides much needed draw off attacks which you should be doing every turn.

Roaming Throne - Not technically an angel but it doubles all the triggers. If you check my list I have categories of Angel Triggers. Anything with the keywords "At, When, or Whenever" will be doubled. Unfortunately it doesn't double Giada herself as that's a replacement effect but it can still get out of hand very quickly.

Wojek Investigator - Also a cheap angel at 2W with vigilance and usually a free clue every turn I'd consider it a strict upgrade over Angelic Sleuth. However, if you need more card draw support I'd personally pick Esper Sentinel, Archivist of Oghma or The One Ring.

I didn't add Aurelia's Vindicator or Merchant of Truth because their abilities don't justify the mana cost.

If you like Aurelia's Vindicator ability I'd recommend Angel of Serenity as the Disguise cost and ability is the same as Serenity but you don't have to jump through hoops of turning it face up. Also, you can target it with an Ephemerate or Teleportation Circle to get more than one usage out if it.
