Last_Laugh on Arna's Kennundrüm: Counters Auraquipment?

2 months ago

Profet93 thanks for getting back to me. There's a few of those that were in the maybeboard already (stoneforge/Codsworth) and a few effects there I like such as discounting costs.

Wand of Orcus is a new addition. I'm pretty light on creatures so it was more of a go-wide with chump blockers attempt. I haven't seen it in a game yet but me hitting for 15-30 damage here seems to be pretty consistent.

As far as the discounted costs go, I had Danitha Capashen, Paragon in here but cut it (at least temporarily) to test new stuff. I'm not sure if I'll go back to her or Cloud Key/Anvil because I need bodies.

We're on roughly the same page eyeballing Improvise but I went with Archway of Innovation and replaced Vault of the Archangel last night funnily enough. I need to update the deck. Yours might be better since the land only assists on cmc 3+ thanks to costing 2 to activate but it was definitely easier to cut a land for a land.

Blade of Shared Souls is a new addition but I've seen it twice so far and it puts in some work. When Arna is out and equipped creature attacks, it only briefly attaches to the creature equipped with the original (The cloning is a 'may' ability) then the For Mirrodin attaches it to the 2/2 rebel (same with Living Weapon) and those rebels start copying Spark Double, Esper Sentinel, Roaming Throne, etc.

Assassin Gauntlet has that etb that goes off every time the equipped creature attacks (Arna's copy) so I tap down ALL of someone's blockers every turn. I've honestly gotten people suggesting it as a cut... just because it feels kinda cheap and a bit dirty.

Hammer of Nazahn for another Sigarda's Aid effect.

Danitha Capashen, Paragon for another legendary creature that is great to suit up and go into battle, or merely have on the field to give your primary attacker Vigilance and First Strike.

Danitha Capashen, Paragon you run enough equipment for the ability to be useful.

Reya Dawnbringer you are running some serious fatties.

Pulsemage Advocate similar to that Marshalls Anthem but free. Breath of Life/Resurrection might be worth a spot.

Chivalric Alliance easy and efficient card draw.

Crackdown mean.

Man, Bruna is one of the BEST budget commanders out there.

Kor Spiritdancer is an amazing card to have. With a ton of low drop auras, you can keep stacking her VERY quickly. You can use kor as a "fake" and draw out removal spells. Graceblade Artisan is similar, but more expensive and no draw.

Lightning Greaves is absolutely VERY important to have. Bruna bypasses shroud (same with Retether) and giving her a swing after cast is VERY important.

Helm of the Host - Any reason this is here? I feel like it doesn't do much of anything and for 5 mana, something like Arcane Signet would just be better because it ramps and usually isn't a "kill on sight" card. If you can copy Avacyn, i can understand, but that's 17 mana likely over 2-3 turns that's better spent elsewhere.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope <3 favorite MTG card!

Creatures like Invisible Stalker and Ascended Lawmage are REALLY good since hexproof is the best ability in MTG. When i play my Bruna deck, i often get targeted at the first chance, and cards with hexproof ensure my opponents have to work to get them off the board.

You should really consider these cheap cards:

Sovereigns of Lost Alara - Get ANY aura for free when voltron swinging. Can search for unblockable, indestructible, hexproof,... +10/+10 trample annihilator 2 (Eldrazi Conscription) or any other toolbox card.

Danitha Capashen, Paragon - Makes auras and equipment {1} less to cast and comes STACKED With great abilities.

Auramancer's Guise - Gives +2/+2 for each aura on a creature AND vigilance?? Makes Kor Spiritdancer get +4/+4 for each aura on her... CRAZY good.

Ethereal Armor - Gives +1/+1 for each enchantment you control and gives first strike!

Open the Armory - VERY cheap tutor for aura/equipment.

Diplomatic Immunity - Gives shroud and has shroud so it's very difficult to remove the creature it's on. Bruna also does not care since she gets around shroud.

Counterspell - To replace Cancel as it's pretty bad and slower.

If you can spare a bit more cash: Nomad Mythmaker - REALLY good recursion and does NOT target so it gets around shroud.

I made my recommendations from Bruna, Enchantments of Alabaster I have a lot of other good stuff that i didn't feel like citing. Feel free to give it a look!

Some of the most critical components for this list to increase the amount of is mana ramp and card advantage, and increasing the quality of some of the removal; you generally want 10 in each category.

Top contenders that synergize with Knights and Equipment are Danitha Capashen, Paragon, Sword of the Animist, Sword of Hearth and Home, Forging the Tyrite Sword, Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, and Rakdos Signet for ramp, Armored Skyhunter, Akiri, Fearless Voyager, Stormfist Crusader, and Mask of Griselbrand for card draw.

Cards worth cutting would be: Armored Ascension, Recumbent Bliss, Bond of Discipline, Duress, Integrity / Intervention, one of each basic land, Crashing Drawbridge, and Moon-Blessed Cleric to make room for the essentials.

lhetrick13 on Elspeth's Knights - Competitive Modern Knight Deck

Fushiii - I appreciate the description as that gives me some context as to what direction the deck is heading. I also agree with you the best thing you could do would be to shave this deck down to 60 cards and add a proper sideboard rather than just kinda mashing the two together and added a couple extra lands. if you do manage to shave it down to 60 cards, this likely also means adjusting your land count depending on the average CMC of the deck so you do not just need to cut the good stuff. 25 lands is likely not enough as it currently is at 71 cards and a ~2.5 CMC but drop it down to 60 cards and a similar CMC and you could likely get away with running like 23 lands...

In terms of what I would suggest to cut from the deck to shave things down, you can go a couple ways with this...You are running Collected Company, which I do love, but at only 23 creatures and with 20 of those 23 being CMC 3 or less, your Collected Company likely often only hits a single creature I bet. Thus, you could pull the two copies you are running as they do not really mesh well or you could alter the deck to improve the efficiency of Collected Company. In For Honor and Glory!!!, this is why I am running 30 creatures all with CMC less than 4, to ensure that Collected Company hits home every time it is played. Without knowing what direction you would like the deck to go, it would be tough to make other suggestions as they may be completely irrelevant.

Personally, I do not like Elspeth, Knight-Errant or Gideon, Ally of Zendikar for a knight deck as Elspeth is more for soldiers and Gideon is to underwhelming for a 4 CMC and slow. I think you could easily cut these two.

Another easy drop would be the single copy Danitha Capashen, Paragon. You are only running a single equipment and only two auras so the chances of her reducing the cost of those is unlikely so she is just a 2/2 with Lifelink and Vigilance for 3 CMC, which is easily outclassed by something like Knight of Meadowgrain in terms of efficiency.

Anyways, I love the knight tribe and it is always fun to see others take on it. Hopefully something I said was helpful in the continued evolution of this deck!

Happy Brewing!
