DemonDragonJ on Battle Hymn of the Seraphim

I have replaced Inferno with Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, because, as great as Inferno was, Drakuseth is better; I almost replaced Inferno Titan with Drakuseth, but I did not wish to increase the mana curve of this deck, so I decided to have both creatures in this deck, for redundancy.

Bookrook, I actually have changed my mind, and now definitely plan to put Drakuseth, Maw of Flames into this deck, because he is simply too awesome to not put into it, but which card should I replace? Inferno Titan seems to be the most logical choice, but that would increase the mana curve of this deck, so I could instead replace Inferno, since that card is rather expensive for its effect, so what do you say, about that?

Gisela is seven mana. If your reaching seven mana reasonably, you should be able to get Magmatic Force out. Drakuseth, Maw of Flamesbecomes devastating with Gisela out.

WOW that Kobold is bonkers, I see why it inspired you to make this deck. It's kinda like Sneak Attack but better. Maybe still worth considering that as a backup strategy though, since no swing is necessary.

Drakuseth, Maw of Flames is an insanely strong Red Dragon to consider, cheat that out with Haste and watch them all burn.

Wow, this is a really cool deck! Hostility looks pretty sick here.

Perhaps you might want to include Drakuseth, Maw of Flames? He's a great way to remove creatures and can end games fast.

I have a similar deck in grixis, Daleks & Dragons [[Davros EDH]]. I'd love it if you could take a peek and make some suggestions!

Master_J on Attack Attack!

Out: Elder Brain, Hammer of Purphoros, Drakuseth, Maw of Flames

In: Hellrider, Grave Titan, Revenge of Ravens

Taking out slow, high cost creatures that can be good if left to sit, but otherwise waste my entire turn doing nothing.

Putting in more attack trigger things (you know, the deck theme).

Crow_Umbra on Isshin Double Attack Trigger

Oops, yeah I definitely missed Aurelia. It happens lol.

If you want another Extra Combat effect, I think Karlach can def replace Raiyuu for a couple of reasons:

• Karlach triggers when you attack, and she doesn't need to be the one attacking.

• Raiyuu triggers when you attack solo with a Warrior or Samurai. You currently have about 2 Warriors in the deck, and 3 Samurai, including Isshin. From having played Isshin for the past year, you typically want to swing with more than one creature each combat.

I would also suggest maybe cutting It That Betrays and Drakuseth, Maw of Flames. Both of them are very mana intensive, and Drakuseth is very single-color intensive.

I've had a lot of fun with Professional Face-Breaker, which rewards you for going wide & playing aggro. She also pairs nicely with Captain Lannery Storm and any other Treasure production you might have in the 99, since Face-Breaker can turn your treasures into impulse draw.

Ogre Battledriver is also a helpful Haste and power-boost anthem which is pretty helpful in a deck like this one. Vault of the Archangel and AnkleShanker are also both great deathtouch anthems

Lastly, I'd recommend adding stuff like Unbreakable Formation and Clever Concealment as a means of protecting your board at instant speed. Being able to protect your board and maintain aggro momentum is crucial to keeping Isshin chugging along and swinging.

Noire_Samhain on Cheap cards for Kaalia

1 year ago

Since you mentioned you're pretty on a budget, most of these (at least according to my knowledge) are at or under a dollar.

For some cheap angels- Angel of Finality, Resplendent Marshal, Angel of the Ruins, and Angel of Serenity.

For some cheap dragons- Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, Terror of Mount Velus, Piru, the Volatile, and Glorybringer.

For demons- Infernal Sovereign, Dreadfeast Demon, Overseer of the Damned, Nightmare Shepherd, Abhorrent Overlord, and Indulgent Tormentor.
