DemonDragonJ on Kalonian Hydra or Bristly Bill?

1 week ago

I have a copy of Kalonian Hydra in my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I am considering replacing it with Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, so I would like to ask for everyone's advice on this issue.

The hydra requires only a single payment of mana, but it must attack in order for its ability to trigger, which could leave it vulnerable, while bristly Bill, in contrast, requires mana for his ability, but his ability can be used multiple times, and also does not require him to attack in order for it to be used, so each creature seems to have its own advantages.

What does everyone else here say abut this? Should I keep Kalnoian hydra in my Atraxa deck, or replace it with Bristly Bill?

Last_Laugh Initial thoughts, and I'll dig into these more when I have time (very busy through the weekend):

Attack triggers are worth looking into, but they're not a snap add yet. Possible, needs review.

Damage triggers might be too narrow, or too broad. Maybe too many cards have "whenever CARDNAME deals combat damage" triggers? Unlikely at this point, but I'll check it out.

Death triggers would have a lot of overlap with Aristocrats. Maybe Aristocrats is a subset of this, but I'm trying to cut down on hubs that entirely included other hubs, and this feels like one of those.

Double triggers is a maybe, to be reviewed. Just doubling triggers isn't much of a theme in itself. What does Bristly Bill, Spine Sower have in common with Solphim, Mayhem Dominus besides the word "double"? All the Legendaries that double something either double counters, which is a hub; damage, which usually falls under burn or something similar; or power and/or toughness.

Not rejecting any of these off hand, but I want to get a feel for how they would make the most sense before making them.

I like that they're exploring Burn design space with stuff like Taii Wakeen, Toralf, & Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might  Flip.

Ahh your deck flavor thing also makes sense as to why you don't utilize Universes Beyond stuff. Lol in the case of Thunder Junction commanders, I think the overwhelming majority are from off-plane, with the exception of Bristly Bill, Spine Sower and the Cactus Folk, although I feel like it's not really clear from lore if Cactus Folk are native inhabitants or not. All the commanders you listed definitely look like they've adapted the most aesthetically lol.

If you're interested, I can link you my old Brokkos deck. I haven't updated it in about a year and a half, but it's along the lines of what I'd probably do for Felix.
