SolidLuchoasada on Vadrok the suspender

Ideas:

Wheel of Fate as cheap suspend wheel of fortune. Couple with Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip for win con.

Dermotaxi imprinted with Medomai the Ageless , getting extra turns just for having both in graveyard and casting with vadrok.

Seize the Storm just for big damage, making profit of graveyard

Glint-Horn Buccaneer and Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip could really get you some mileage in this deck. Cool build!

Step 1 was strategy. Step 2 is wincon. If we're going for Niv/Curiosity combo as a main win, with a self-mill backup, we want as many cards to enable those as possible. Is there any other way to duplicate these effects in your deck in case your opponents blow one up? For Curiosity effects, I would add in Tandem Lookout. Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is just like your commander's ability. They are the only two with that draw effect, but Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip (not a flip card, by the way) and Glint-Horn Buccaneer can pair with any Curiosity effect during your discard phase, if you have more than 7 cards in hand, to do what Niv does (though this makes cards that give you no maximum hand size, like Spellbook and Wizard Class bad, if you want to use these as backups...not saying you have to, just an idea). Finally Laboratory Maniac is another Jace. Reminder that if your deck is going to rely on a combo wincon, you are announcing the deck's weak point from the start. So the deck needs to focus a lot of energy on defending that weak point.

A few other cards I'm going to single out: Crackling Drake, Convolute, Inescapable Blaze, Smelt, Capture Sphere, Enthralling Hold, Fissure Vent - see if you can figure out why I may be picking on these.

Necrosis24 on DePietro and Channel?

1 year ago

This has made me realize I’ve been reading Ghost of Ramirez DePietro wrong this entire time. I thought his trigger was tied to the player that was dealt damage.

Tormod, The Desecrator

Well anyways my top pick for a partner would be Tormod, the Desecrator for all the graveyard shenanigans (i.e Living Death) and discard value.

Some high synergy cards would be:

• Archfiend of Ifnir
• Bone Miser
• Drake Haven
• Faith of the Devoted
• Feast of Sanity
• Dying to Serve
• Hordewing Skaab
• Mystic Redaction
• Curator of Mysteries + Eligeth, Crossroads Augur

• Armix, Filigree Thrasher + Mirrodin Besieged (if you go heavy artifacts)

Tana, The Bloodsower

Looking at channel tho there seems to be a higher density in temur so you would have access to better ramp and can do wheel/card draw affects. So perhaps Tana, the Bloodsower with:

Rielle, the Everwise

Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip

The Locust God + Wheels

Conspiracy Theorist

Mizzix's Mastery + Lier, Disciple of the Drowned

Glint-Horn Buccaneer

Surly Badgersaur

Pirates

Otherwise you can go for purate tribal in izzet with Breeches, Brazen Plunderer or monoblue with Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator

Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip? Smuggler's Copter?

I think you might need just a couple more mana rocks. I try for at least 40 lands + mana cards. If you want to cast a ton of cards per turn maybe Ruby Medallion and Jet Medallion? Those are pricey though.

bushido_man96 on How do you create card-draw …

2 years ago

Rakdos has some good synergy for discarding cards, with effects like Glint-Horn Buccaneer and Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip, or even Skirge Familiar . That may be a route to consider.

Neotrup on Brallin and shabraz

Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip will trigger 3 times, and Shabraz, the Skyshark will trigger 7 times. You'll wait until Windfall finishes resolving and put those triggers on the stack in any order, so you could do the damage before or after gaining the life, or alternate between them.
