Pageofheart on Alibou, Ancient Witness to the Artificial Sickness

I really like your Alibou list! It's a fair chunk different than mine, but my guess is that we play is fairly different metas. My playgroup doesn't do stax too much, so i've stayed away from them in my build. It's cool to see a deck list that utilizes cards like Ethersworn Canonist and Lodestone Golem. Sands of Time looks chaotic as hell, and pretty synergistic with Alibou.

Also, the infect win conditions are fun. Grafted Exoskeleton is terrifying on Alibou.

I like seeing the graveyard interactions in the deck, I ended up cutting a lot of that from my deck as it doesn't directly synergize with Alibou, but Scrap Trawler, Goblin Welder and Sun Titan can do wonderful things together.

I have a question somewhat unrelated to this deck, I have an Imotekh the Stormlord deck which does a lot of artifact graveyard shennanigans and runs Kuldotha Forgemaster. How has that card played out for you? I've found it a little slow sometimes, but it also looks like it can do insane things. What makes for a good artifact shell around Kuldotha?

I had Argentum Armor in here but waiting till 6 mana without artifact mana to ramp made it tough. Decided on Quietus Spike as the nail for my hammers and 1/2 the mana exhaustion for the benefit. I've been trimming from 80 to get down to more competitive deck size. But I think I like Akiri enough to run another in the deck. The hobgoblin might be on borrowed time as I really want the engine to be ready for redcap to churn. I always think about the long game, this deck I need to break that marathon mentality and try to get it done by turn 5 or struggle with the power cards turning the tide. If I tinkled black for infect or swapped spike for Grafted Exoskeleton I'd have 10 poison counters before 20 health would hammer out.

More to do, any opinions are good! Aaron

OMG. A weird control deck that gives people poison counters when counter spelling them? That sounds interesting. It says "each turn" not "on your turn", so it should trigger off of instants like you said. That's super cool. Since he has black in his mana colors, he has access to a lot of tutors to get a Phyresis or Grafted Exoskeleton. With Braid of Fire and x cost cards like Fireball, you could possibly just dump a lethal amount of counters on an opponent.

Oops, I missed your infect stipulation. Thankfully there are ways to give her Infect. For example, Phyresis, Grafted Exoskeleton and Tainted Strike all do it. Though to be fair, I believe these are the only ones that work in this way. Still, that's not too bad.

jaredtritsch - I will keep Grafted Exoskeleton in my pocket for metas that aren't super fearful of infect. Basilisk Collar I thought would be only good in a pingers strategy, but after playing a bit the lifelink seems like a big plus, may even consider more artifacts.

Talozard - The deck started more token focused but it felt slow and a bit too small ball, which is a problem I'm feeling with the deck now. It is really missing edrics draw ability just getting to sit in the command zone.

Maybe consider Basilisk Collar or Grafted Exoskeleton for more value out of Ghyrson's pinging?
