MapPsycho on Morophon Eldrazi Update

3 years ago

I'm not personally too familiar with playing Eldrazi, but I think your combo of Fists + Jodah is genius. I do agree you're gonna want to go all-in with some ramp due to the overall CMC of the deck. Doombeard1984 made a good point of looking into pain lands such as Yavimaya Coast and Llanowar Wastes so you have more ways to tap for colorless while still having access to multiple colors. Adding in a few Wastes would also bring your basic land count up a bit and open up other options like Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland that still tap for colorless but can snag more basics. Thaumatic Compass  Flip is a bit slow, so I'm not sure if it would really help here, but it can be useful especially if you can transform it. And some other colorless lands I'd recommend are Emergence Zone , Foundry of the Consuls , and Ghost Quarter just for more options. Otherwise you're doing good. Seeing you already running many cards I would've recommended like the Talismans was great. I was wondering if you're using Morophon as an Eldrazi Lord? Cause that's awesome! Lastly, another card that might be fun to run in here(although overkill to the max, lol)would be Reflections of Littjara that just launched in Kaldheim. Basically double up your Eldrazi, though that might be WAY too oppressive. XD Hope I was able to help, if only a little. :3 And good luck with your deck!

DemMeowsephs on Teysa karlov Aristocrats

Hey there! As asked for on my page, I will most certainly do my best to give you as many suggestions as I can, though aristocrats is, again, not exactly my area of expertise. I hope this helps, and before I continue, I wish you the best of luck on your deck.

Let's start off with the lands/ramp. The lands seem pretty great choices for a budget deck, couldn't really have done it better myself, but there are a couple cards you may want to consider that you might have missed. Brightclimb Pathway  Flip is probably one of the biggest ones, and it is only around 2-3 bucks. It's very valuable to have a choice like that in the game, and neither would come in tapped which is super good. Salt Flats is also a great card, and while it comes in tapped, you can always rely on it for a good source of colored mana, or simply use the colorless part of its ability. It is also less than 50 cents, making it a great include for a budget deck. Blighted Fen might also contribute to the theme, but is absolutely unnecessary unless you like its ability. Now, we get into a whole set of cards that could be interesting to think about, though whether you think you should include them or not are entirely up to you. Teysa is all about sacrificing and having sac outlets, so what if you had lands that had the option to act as creatures? This would let you tap for mana, and have the option to sac a creature if you needed it! Here are some of the better ones you may want to consider:

Now you may not like most of those, but possibly even just having one or two of the better ones like Blinkmoth and Mishra might be pretty beneficial, as it's always good to have things to sac in the worst-case scenario. In addition to that, all of the cards above are less than a dollar if not a small bit more, meaning they could most likely work price wise. To wrap up all the land part, Crystal Vein is also something good to consider, giving you a turn extra in mana at the price of the land, as well as Field of Ruin, which is just a overall not bad card in general for harming your opponents.

Now, what about ramp? While your ramp looks pretty good, here are a couple sweet ones you may have missed: Dark Ritual!!! This guy is amazing, for one mana you can pretty much cast teysa turn 2 with another land out, or it can just give you a huge leg up in general! Certaintly worth considering. Talisman of Hierarchy is also a super cheap great card I would definitely recommend for the deck, and it will surely benefit you more than the Prismatic Lens, though having both is simply better. Commander's Sphere obviously isn't as good as arcane signet, but it is still pretty great due to the draw ability and is also definitely worth considering. Cabal Ritual is also great with teysa since you'll be sacrificing a lot. To top that all off, Knight of the White Orchid and Gift of Estates are pretty good and definitely worth looking into.

Altogether, for your mana base, there isn't anything too dire, it all looks pretty good, though there are certainly a few budget cards I mentioned there you should definitely consider. I'm now going to give some recommendations on some all-around good cards to include, and save the specifically aristocrats stuff for last. Swords to Plowshares is pretty cheap and yet an amazing staple in all decks, I would definitely consider that, especially since in your case you can play it on one of your own things to get extra triggers, while also gaining the life. Generous Gift is also an amazing removal card that I have in my best deck and it's pretty good too! Same as for swords, you even have the option to play it on yourself and get the elephant token that you can sacrifice again! Fumigate and Cleansing Nova are pretty cheap but good board wipes that I would definitely try including too, to top of all the removal. In black, Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, and Night's Whisper are pretty good for draw that you may want to think about.

Now sorry if this is a bit rushed, I am short on time, but you may want to think about some of the following cards, with graveyard recursion, tutors to graveyards, and good sac cards!

MapPsycho Thanks for the comment and the upvote! While I do like your suggestions as cards, I don't think they'll be as efficient in this deck since I've found that I'm often using up a lot of my mana during my turns to cast creature spells. If I do end up running counterspells, they would have to be 2 CMC or "free" (i.e Pact of Negation, Force of Negation, and Force of Will) for me to best use my mana.

Too bad those counters I mentioned cost too much, though :(.

I'll probably still consider Foundry of the Consuls, though. It'd be a one time use, but I haven't really been using Castle Ardenvale or Kjeldoran Outpost to generate tokens much. I mostly put them in the deck as "just in case" cards.

FrogBoy95 And another thanks to you for the nice comment and upvote! I'm glad you guys have been liking what I've made; gives me a bit more confidence that the deck won't be a complete dud once I actually buy it in paper lol.

I recently edited the decklist to show some changes I made over the past week or so. Instead of Vedalken Orrery, I'm using Leyline of Anticipation since it basically has the same effect, and more importantly, is waaayyy cheaper than Vedalken Orrery.

On the subject of counterspells, I've also been thinking that better cards for me to use would probably be redirecting effects such as Narset's Reversal, Redirect, and Commandeer. While I don't think counterspells are a complete waste in EDH, I do think they're tougher to use efficiently since you're dealing with more than one person and ultimately end up losing some card advantage. Those redirect spells can help turn opponent's cards completely in your favor and will more or less replace themselves in doing so.

I haven't put those cards in the maindeck, however; currently those "flex slots" are being taken up by Phyrexian Metamorph and Stunt Double, which will ideally let me get more mileage out of my own deck by acting as extra copies of my EtB creatures.

Luminarch Ascension is a cool card, but my issue with it is that it will quickly put a target on your head, and my deck doesn't really have a lot of ways to completely dissuade people from attacking me. Dawn of Hope is much more lowkey and comes with an added bonus of potentially drawing cards, but that mana cost to make one token is a bit too high for my liking, and I don't really have a lot of ways to reliably gain life other than Cloudblazer, Elite Guardmage, and Charming Prince.

Really like what you've put together here!!! I was thinking of building an Ephara deck awhile back, but decided against it because I couldn't wrap my head around how to make a new type of build. Bravo! Two counterspells I'd recommend (not sure what they're priced at right now)are Faerie Trickery to put a slightly more permanent stop to some board wipes, and Render Silent. Also, a land I'd recommend would be Foundry of the Consuls for a little extra creature cover. I recently added a copy to my Renata deck for some flying cover and it has come in surprisingly handy, even saving my butt a few times!

5dollarMTG on $5 Blinking Owls

werasus: that's a good looking deck; if you're using the budget version, it's already pretty cheap, especially since Bomat Courier went down after rotation. You could try swapping Herbal Poultice for Welding Jar, Snapsail Glider for Etched Champion, and something like Foundry of the Consuls for Blinkmoth Nexus. Looks like the only other thing over a dollar at TCGplayer is Inventors' Fair; I can't think of a good replacement for that, but you might be able to just leave it out.

1st - you can make the card name a link by clicking on the the folded piece or paper picture above and fill the blank in the middle with the name of the card

2nd'ly there are other lands like Spawning Bed, like Foundry of the Consuls for example, I dont like them since a lose a lot of mana and a land for a small amount of tokens id rather use lands that can generate less tokens but without dying.
