DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Perforating …

6 months ago

I absolutely shall put Perforating Artist into my EDH decks that contain the colors black and red, but I am not certain what cards I should remove to make room for it.

In my Kresh the Bloodbraided deck, already replaced Decimate with the artist, so that is very good.

In my Thraximundar deck, I was first contemplating removing Exsanguinate, since that cards does not contribute to the theme of the deck, but it is still an excellent card, so I am now instead contemplating removing Slave of Bolas, since that card does contribute to the theme of the deck, but is very expensive for a one-shot effect.

As for my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls deck, I am having difficulty finding a card that I can remove, since nearly every card in that deck already contributes very strongly to its theme, so I may not be able to put Perforating Artist in that deck, unfortunately.

What does everyone else say about this? How can I put Perforating Artist into my EDH decks that contain the colors black and red? I certainly would appreciate any suggestions that anyone here has to offer.

I have reinstated Cankerbloom in this deck, replacing Decimate, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.92 to 3.89, because I am not a major fan of land destruction, and this deck already has plenty of ways to destroy creatures.

MattMan1982 I'm gonna throw a bunch of ideas at you, some are better than others, just wanna see if anything interests you. I'm not gonna provide any creature suggestions yet. Yours are always solid and I want your thoughts on these cards first.

Lands

None of these are needed but definitely are helpful assuming you can fit them into the mana base

Bonders' Enclave - Draw

Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip/Spire Garden - Color Fixing

Blighted Woodland/Myriad Landscape - "Ramp"

Raging Ravine/Dread Statuary - Manlands. Nice to use with Greater Good or if you run out of creatures. The Dread Statuary is a personal favorite of mine for that reason

Misc

Rancor - Reuseable buff, trample enabler. I like using rancor on selvala and buff with commander for lots of mana should need be

Sylvan Library - Great to set up your draw and ensure you get your land drops. Given you only run 34 lands, that can potentially be an issue, especially given the relatively high avg cmc of the deck.

Skullclamp - Should you ever find yourself needing more draw, this can be an option. It's nice because if they want to use spot removal, they need to do so prior to combat, as you equip it. So if they do, you can pump a different creature and target that opponent.

Momentous Fall - Draw, used in response to removal to gain value. Beware of the blue player though

Return of the Wildspeaker > Garruk PW - Can be used in response to removal so you don't get 2 for 1ed. It's easier to cast and has an additional mode. While the PW has the option to make a token should you need a creature, I don't believe it's impactful enough

Berserk - Super fun! Politics, finisher, all for 1 mana. seriously underrated.

Green Sun's Zenith - Tutor

Decimate - 4 for 1. I see no way for you to deal with a maze of ith. Strip mine can be also used.

x1AlphaWolf36 +1

What is your budget per card?

Why run a signet in a 2 color deck with green? Rampant Growth/Nature's Lore are budget friendly swaps

Draw

Elemental Bond - Should budget allow, better than colossal majesty

Soul's Majesty - Budget friendly draw

Harmonize - Regula, reliable draw

Life's Legacy/Momentous Fall - Super draw, beware of the blue player however

Ramp

Traverse the Outlands - ???? Or do you not have enough basics?

Sakura-Tribe Elder/Wood Elves/Nissa's Pilgrimage/Farhaven Elf - Solid ramp

Misc

Eternal Witness - Recursion

Fierce Empath - Tutor

Inferno Titan - Damage

Terastodon - Removal (that can hit pesky lands)

Decimate - 4 in 1!

Would love to hear your thoughts on each suggestion, hope this helps!

I'm a little skeptical of the "remove anything" claim. {RG} doesn't go big into "destroy target permanent" or "exile target permanent," that's more {WB} and {BG}. The closest I can come up with after a few searches is Decimate, which is definitely powerful, but can be played around. Unless it's something like Scour from Existence, which is very mana-heavy and single-use, or Karn Liberated, which is the one I would worry about the most.
