Venturub on Mono-White Control Clerics

1 month ago

As a complement to my previous message, I am considering the following:

• Leonin Abunas: it protects the Aether Vial obviously, as well as the Chrome MoxGC and the Chalice of the Void, but also Ethersworn Canonist. Being a cleric, it benefits from the clerics synergies: the +0/+2 of Daru Spiritualist, the Cavern of Souls for clerics, the Starlit Sanctum as well;

• Selfless Spirit, pretty obvious;

• to a lesser extent, The Book of Exalted Deeds, Skullclamp, Archivist of Oghma, Fiend Hunter (maybe in replacement of the Paths?) and a fourth Grand Abolisher…

Hey Andromedus! Thank you so much for your messages. I have been following the different versions of your deck with great interest. Please keep me updated on how it performs in real life!

As for my deck, I have two specific conditions I would like to stick to: 1. I want to keep the core combo of Shaman en-Kor + Daru Spiritualist + Starlit Sanctum + Angel of Destiny — a sort of cleric life-gain build. 2. I would like to keep it monowhite and tribal.

Within those two conditions, I would be extremely grateful for any further suggestions or recommendations you (or anyone else) might have. I recently tweaked it a bit…

Nomads en-Kor or Spirit en-Kor + Daru Spiritualist = Clerics you control get +0/+inf until end of turn. Add Severed Strands, Sheltering Word, or something similar to turn that into infinite life, or a P/T switch like Inside Out or Transmutation to give a Cleric infinite power.

Add some more {R} with Quest for Pure Flame + All Will Be One.

Gain infinite life with Nomads en-Kor + Daru Spiritualist + Starlit Sanctum.

legendofa on Modern Horizons 3 Predictions/Wishlist

2 years ago

Going off the previous Modern Horizons, I expect some outside-of-Modern cards to be pulled in (Eladamri's Call, Enchantress's Presence), some lower-tier strategies to be given a push (Cloudshredder Sliver, Unmarked Grave), and some pushed cards (Force of Negation, Fury, and a bunch of generically good filler.

Some cards that could be Modern-ized (and probably keeping my failed prediction streak going):

• specific or general typal utility stuff (Daru Spiritualist or Pact of the Serpent, for example)

• some cards from recent non-Modern sets with generic names or Wizards IP (Rampaging War Mammoth).

Eyeballing some possible strategies that could use a bump:

• {R}{W} weenie

• {U} or {U}{B} mill

• something non-Eldrazi non-artifact colorless

• Big Spells (mana value 5+ instants/sorceries, sorta like Prismatic from Strixhaven).

Some cards that might be pushed and generically good filler: I have no idea. That's for the designers to know.

The original combo with Daru Spiritualist is to use something like Shaman en-Kor or Shuko to target it infinite times for infinity x 0 mana. Then you sack it with the Starlit Sanctum to gain infinite life. Could be a fun infinite combo to include in the deck, and fits right along with your theme and goals of the deck :D

I really, really like this deck! Great use of a creature type, and making it really multi faceted. I only have a couple old school suggestions: Daru Spiritualist and Starlit Sanctum. Otherwise everything looks fantastic!

Venturub on Monowhite Control Clerics

Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. There are many cards I considered, such as Mirror Entity, Elite Spellbinder, Aether Vial (both for its ‘flash’ effect and as a work around for Chalice of the Void), Huatli, the Sun's Heart (for the combo Daru Spiritualist with Shaman en-Kor), maybe Glowrider, some Wasteland and/or Kor Haven…

Bur instead of what?
