InfectedToe on BOROS modular fun

1 day ago

This is a pretty fun deck, kinda wanted to build a Zabaz deck at one point myself but you're the resident Boros enjoyer so I knew you would at some point lol.

Regardless, I do have some suggestions: Panharmonicon is an absolute must-include, it literally doubles counters across the board. Also, Extruder could be a great explosive finisher.

As for slightly weaker but still good cards to include, Abzan Battle Priest could offer a good amount of lifegain, Cloud Key is basic artifact tribal, and Core Prowler is another cheeky infect wincon with bonus proliferation.

As far as cards to replace, Chief of the Foundry is pretty weak here as it doesn't actually count as counters for modular creatures, and Energy Chamber is exceedingly slow in practice.

Paradox engine is banned

Sensei's Divining Top + Mystic Forge + Cloud Key/Semblance Anvil/Ugin, the Ineffable/cost ruder = Draw your whole deck. Each piece is crucial in it's own right and combo very nicely together

Rings + Basalt = Infinite Mana

Rings + Basalt + Top = Draw and cast your entire deck

Basalt + Forsaken Monument = Infinite Colorless

War Room > Arch

Veilstone Amulet is for instant decks

Everflowing Chalice (4 counters) + Rings + Voltaic Key = Infinite Mana

Plague Myr: mana and an alt win con

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog: big beat stick

Foundry Inspector can alleviate some of the cost of Hope as it gets more expensive from commander tax

Fireshrieker:

Argentum Armor for some good removal

Cloud Key: cost reduction

Maybe some Stax cards?

Mask of Memory: Draw

Quietus Spike: FOr the lulz

I would change this to include Green, maybe a Simic version. You're going to need the Ramp abilities of that color if you want to play stuff, activate stuff and play answers. Or you could at least use things like Etherium Sculptor, Cloud Key, Semblance Anvil, Foundry Inspector, Jhoira's Familiar or Palladium Myr

As it is, I think it's very slow paced for Modern. Also, you don't have much in terms of board pressure or hard removal. You're too exposed while trying to set up the Empire artifacts

Ziabo: Thanks man, glad you like it! It's pretty damn fun to play. Morophon could be a decent commander for 5-colour Eldrazi, too, but I really like Golos . Easy to cast without caring about which colours I have, an ETB effect that helps solve my colour problems and an activated ability to cheat amazing, expensive spells into play. Add Morophon to the 99 instead.

Wicker: If money wasn't a concern, I would immediately add a bunch of fetch lands, Expropriate and Sylvan Library .

DivineKhaos: Artifact ramp is really strong and super fast, so it was tempting. I focused on more land-based ramp to help solve my colour needs, since nearly 40% of my spells require coloured mana, including a number that need or . Omg and I'm running Ruinous Ultimatum ?? What was I thinking! I'm also trying to be more resistant to artifact destruction. This deck scares my playgroup so they toss a lot of removal at it and it can feel pretty bad when all your mana rocks get taken out and you're now behind everyone else at the table.

Hustleberry: Lots of good suggestions, thank you! It's just really hard to make cuts to fit in more at this point. That's the biggest difficulty in 5 colour decks, I could run anything and there are hundreds of amazing cards that could work, but I can only fit 99.

• I would play Expropriate if it weren't so damn expensive :)
• Enter the Infinite with Nexus of Fate is definitely strong, it's just hard to make cuts to fit it. At one point I ran Enter the Infinite with Omniscience but after pulling it off a few times, I was over it and took it out.
• No Mercy just isn't enough to stop my playgroup. I've tried it in some decks but my best defense truly is a strong offense with this deck. And board wipes :p
• Agreed, Blue Sun's Zenith is better than Mind Spring and would be a good swap. But since then, I changed over to Finale of Revelation instead.
• You're right, I definitely have non-Eldrazi themed things in here but Platinum Emperion just feels too out of place and I'd feel bad removing one of my big Eldrazi beaters to fit him. If I were to pick one up, I'd put it in one of my artifact-focused decks instead.
• It That Betrays instead of Artisan of Kozilek ? Agreed! Changed... some time ago now. I'm very late in replying to your comments ;)

hkhssweiss: Cloud Key and Semblance Anvil are good, but my card types are so spread out that their effect becomes pretty limited and I do already run things like Urza's Incubator and Herald's Horn , the latter of which which does more than just reduce the cost. Don't think I want to invest too much into just reducing creature costs, when that only accounts for 20% of my deck. Having said that, Cloud Key and Semblance Anvil are fantastic in my artifact decks :D

@Hercules23

I‘m not big on combos to be very honest. But one that came up one day was Cloud Key , Mystic Forge and Sensei's Divining Top . Nothing too crazy. So i guess that‘s what makes it not cEDH after all. People always have a chance to recover and shut you down even if you flooded the board, especially in multiplayer.
