DawnsRayofLight on Obi-Wan Can Blow Me

@Last_Laugh:

Thanks for the suggestions. As the list is, it is running fine, so I do not have too many plans to change it, not that your suggestions have no merits.

I was running Skyknight Vanguard and ever since I added that and Honored Crop-Captain along with some aggro stuff, the deck started running wonky and got stomped all over. I dropped those out recently and added some more midrange stuff and the deck has been running much better.

Breena, the Demagogue: unless I am misunderstanding this card, it just doesn't seem too great to me. I mean, yes, the politics aspect helps a lot, but I am not a fan of my opponents drawing as well. Tymna the Weaver: will definitely be an add if I feel the list is running slow and not drawing enough. I have been going back and forth on adding her, I just cannot fit her in the current list. There is some draw for now: Kaya, Ghost Assassin, Phyrexian Arena, Bolas's Citadel, Skullclamp, Chief Jim Hopper, Esper Sentinel, and sort of Land Tax

Ramp: It seems to be fine to me as is, at least with how the deck plays. I have only tested the current list a couple of times and only 1 on 1 so I will see if more ramp is needed. 9 mana rocks seems a bit hefty at times. I will note I am running some treasure token producers and may add back in Smothering Tithe, I dropped it to test Unquenchable Fury as Tithe didn't feel too necessary at times. Aerial Surveyor also ramps pretty well and Land Tax helps with hitting the land drops.

Protection: Iroas, God of Victory Serves as Dolmen Gate while giving them menace and acts as a 7/4 beater. Teferi's Protection may go back in, I just dropped it but we will see. I guess in working on my protection I was more concerned with counterspells and certain blue board wipes (which is why Grand Abolisher, Deflecting Swat (lul cyclonic rift), and Defense Grid are in there) rather than worrying about other board wipes. I added Legion's Initiative as it kind of acts like Teferi's Protection in that it works a bit better to protect from exile wipes like Winds of Abandon and Farewell than some of the indestructible protection spells.

Fireflux Squad: for some stupid reason it never occurred to me to use this on the tokens. I will definitely find a spot for the squad.

Thanks for the suggestions DawnsRayofLight.

Archon of Cruelty is a cool card for sure. As I mentioned in one of my comments on Rolska's Isshin Twin Triggers deck, I avoid playing 6+ cmc cards, or only play 1-2 in decks that lack green. I don't mind playing a couple 6 cmc cards, but for me personally, there's a point in games where I'd rather be able to play multiple cards per turn, rather than a splashy bomb that's vulnerable to removal if it doesn't have Haste or an ETB effect.

I had Sun Titan in my original draft, but subbed it out. I've played Grave Titan and Archon of Cruelty in my Araumi of the Dead Tide deck, and I generally like them, but am considering swapping one of them out in that deck if I don't take it apart first lol.

On a similar note, I'm already eyeing Etali as a potential swap out. Every time I play it, it either gets removed immediately or stolen, since my playgroup plays a lot of single target removal.

Aurelia, the Warleader is cool, but without a Vigilance anthem, your board won't get the benefit of the 3rd combat. Also she's expensive money-wise, and I don't currently own a copy. I cut the extra combat stuff from my deck in favor of a bit more draw and removal.

As for Lucille and Chief Jim Hopper, they're both good, but I'm going to wait for their MtG reskin versions to be printed in the next 6 months or so. I'm a bit snobby and don't want Walking Dead or Stranger Things in my decks.

Archon of Cruelty: gets ETB trigger and double attack trigger, ditto for Grave Titan, Sun Titan, Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, and Inferno Titan

Aurelia, the Warleader: 3 combat phases = lol

Lucille: seems strong

Chief Jim Hopper: help for draw

Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder: can be make some fun board states with Isshin

there are tons of create tokens on attack and they can increase your field presence.

This is my isshin list Obi-Wan Can Blow Me, let me know what you think!
