Bruvac the Grandiloquent

Legendary Creature — Human Advisor

If an opponent would mill one or more cards, they mill twice that many cards instead. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)

Tur on Hidden Power - Mono-Color - …

3 weeks ago

Yeah, there are many ways to get big mana.

Here is a story: I was playing a Bruvac the Grandiloquent edh, and I had Bribery in hand. Now, I know that one of my opponents is playing Blightsteel Colossus and another is playing Dockside Extortionist.

So, I played Bribery and got Dockside Extortionist on turn five. Phantasmal Image it. Clever Impersonator it. Make approximately twenty treasure. Play Bruvac the Grandiloquent, Maddening Cacophony, and Relic of Progenitus to mill out most of my opponents library's. Pact of Negation was a backup in case there was removal.

So, Dockside Extortionist allowed a mono-blue mill deck to win on turn five.

Teferi's Tutelage might be strictly better than Psychic Corrosion because you get a loot effect right away. Depends on how you feel about looting. Bruvac the Grandiloquent might give the crabs someone to play with.

Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Persistent Petitioners Also works great. Undead Alchemist can also provide you blockers when you mill opponents creatures.

Without any other infect or proliferate effects, Blighted Agent needs to be actively attacking for several turns, depending on how many pump effects you have out. By itself, it needs to stay active for ten turns, which is an eternity at even semi-competitive tables. It just doesn't have the support to be viable here, and being used as removal bait means that virtually any other creature could take its spot. This also leaves out mass removal, fog effects, attack taxes like Ghostly Prison, and anything else that would prevent it from doing its job.

I think the mill subtheme can be cut. Soaring Thought-Thief is fine, but Bruvac the Grandiloquent and Tasha's Hideous Laughter don't help that much. Also, mill is especially difficult against three other decks, and there's a reasonable chance one of them will be a graveyard deck that welcomes the help.

Elves in general have more support as a tribe, but I wouldn't suggest switching unless you genuinely think you would enjoy Elves more. If you do, I suggest Golgari.

Yeah needs more ramp def. Whispering Madness, Dark Deal, Jace's Archivist are very good. and some good mill cards are def. Psychic Corrosion, Maddening Cacophony, Mesmeric Orb, Fractured Sanity and of course Bruvac the Grandiloquent but hes a little expensive...

king-saproling Thrumming stone would definitely work well with Persistent Petitioners and I have debated seeking out that card in paper. Sadly though it is a rather pricey card. I would probably purchase a Bruvac the Grandiloquent as a better commander slot before I get Thrumming Stone.

As for Sphinx of the Chimes and Echoing Truth, both of those options are cheap purchases and make for good card draw and protection synergy with petitioners. I will definitely have to keep my eye out for those in paper. Thank you for the great suggestions!

Bribery could be replaced by The Scarab God with the amount of mill you have in the deck :)

Also, Darksteel Plate --> Commander's Plate

And don't forget Cut Your Losses and maybe Bruvac the Grandiloquent?

seshiro_of_the_orochi thank you! ^u^ and yes, I did. The reason it says put all land on top instead of just the milled land card is because I wanted to have a safety net with cards like Bruvac the Grandiloquent
