Flarhoon13 on Blim's Blumpkins

4 months ago

Finally!!! Lost one, won one yesterday evening! Let's talk about the win. I attacked turn 4 with Blim, Comedic Genius, gifting Francois, on Gyrus, Waker of Corpses, an Oni Possession. Blim, Comedic Genius never attacked again, even though I cast him for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mana. Later in the game, I cast a Sorcerous Spyglass and found an infinite combo in Aubrey's large grip... Exquisite Blood and Enduring Tenacity. Seeing that, I decided not to name Francois' Chainsaw nor his Lightning Greaves. Instead, I named Blighted Fen, which never seemed to matter.

Francois used Gyrus, Waker of Corpses to kill Aubrey, sending exactly enough to get 5 damage through, past his only creature, Athreos, God of Passage. I had a Tormod's Crypt out but never used it.

On my penultimate turn, at 6 life, I cast a Nefarious Lich and a Chain Reaction, taking out Tendershoot Dryad and The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride. I had about 9 cards in the yard, including AEther Flash, which had killed a Blood Artist and did a lot of work this game. A Demonic Collusion had found me a Blasphemous Act, which eventually took out Aubrey's Valgavoth, Terror Eater and several other blockers to allow Francois' kill shot on him. Auren was able to kill Francois. Auren passed turn to me while he was tapped out at 1 life with 5 tapped food, Night of the Sweets' Revenge in his graveyard, and his commander, Ygra, Eater of All making all creatures into delicious morsels. I made the ultimate top deck: Greed's Gambit. This allowed me to draw 9 cards with Nefarious Lich out. Among those nine was a Dark Petition which found me an Earthquake for the win. Finally!! Earthquake for 3 finally was enough to win the game.

Cards that work nicely with Damia and with your dredge theme might be: Null Brooch, Null Profusion, Awaken the Erstwhile, Cabal Conditioning, Recycle, Manabond, Demonic Collusion, Splendid Reclamation, Empty the Pits.

Nice deck. A bit heavy on creatures? You need a few more Dimir tricks.

Ideas Unbound, Windfall and/or Dark Deal big card draw

Deep Analysis little card draw

Increasing Ambition big tutor

Mystical Teachings little tutor

Dark Withering great removal

Circular Logic great counterspell

Forbid and/or Demonic Collusion forever

Null Brooch > Negate

Really like this shell. Corpse Dance and Sneak Attack are pet cards of mine and this is a great home for both!

Urza's Saga get dreadnought or your ring.

Hall of the Bandit Lord and/or Flamekin Village haste is useful in a pinch.

Riptide Laboratory commander protection.

Demonic Collusion neat discard outlet.

Prismari Command and/or Kolaghan's Command really neat swiss army knives.

Jaxis, the Troublemaker and/or Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance on theme.

SufferFromEDHD thanks for your suggestions m8!

Infernal Sovereign is indeed great as a back-up commander so far. Wanted Zimone and Dina for the same reasson, but the sac fodder is more difficult to get ahold of than I thought.

Oh yes, Demonic Collusion is for sure going in this deck, thanks!

The budget of this deck is 30€ (35$), so unfortunately Manabond is too big a chunk of that - but what an awesome card for Damia!

Null Brooch for sure one of my favorite EDH cards. Auto include with this commander. Manabond out of budget?

Elfhame Sanctuary neat tech alongside Damia.

Infernal Sovereign potential.

Deathrite Shaman always good.

Forbid and/or Demonic Collusion Buyback doesn't get the respect it deserves in this format plus Damia loves it.

Please remember to link cards with double brackets:

[[Praetor's Grasp]]

[[Demonic Collusion]]

Praetor's Grasp

Demonic Collusion

---

Per Rule 702.27a, Buyback means "“If the buyback cost was paid, put this spell into its owner’s hand instead of into that player’s graveyard as it resolves". Emphasis added.

Accordingly, if they pay the Buyback cost, it goes into your hand as the card's owner.

It should also be noted, there is not a single legal card in the game which permits you to put another's card in your hand.

KongMing on Blind 7 is usually fine

Have you considered Buyback as a way to get things back out of the grave on resolving the Kess cast? These aren't great cards, but maybe worth thinking about at least.

Corpse Dance might work well since you have so few creatures to interfere with retrieving a Dualcaster Mage or the like.

Demonic Collusion as a possible swap for Increasing Ambition. It's a higher cost to tutor two cards, but lets you toss some stuff in the grave and you can repeat the combo on later turns or if you recast/flicker Kess.

Maybe Reiterate for See Double?
