Cool deck! Maybe Greed to help with life loss triggers and card draw? And youve got quite a bit of black mana pips, Gary might also be good. Gray Merchant of Asphodel

DemonDragonJ on Greed or Lunar Convocation?

I have a copy of Greed in my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk EDH deck, but I am considering replacing it with Lunar Convocation, because that card has additional abilities; yes, the additional mana for the card-drawing ability will add up over time, but the other two abilities are very useful for that deck, so I do believe that the card would be a very nice addition to it.

What does everyone else say, about this? Should I keep Greed in my Liesa deck, or replace it with Lunar Convocation? I certainly am eager to hear your responses, on this subject.

Noxid05, I shall need to observe how frequently I use Greed, and how other players respond to it, so I shall keep it, in my deck, for the present moment.

Do you find that you are often needing to use the card draw from Greed? If so it is probably worth keeping it. However, if your Greed is frequently getting destroyed Erebos, God of the Dead would probably be better, especially if life gain decks, or Sanguine Bond combos are frequent in your meta. If you only use your greed occasionally, and it doesn't get destroyed often Lunar Convocation as it has the the most utility imo outside of card draw. Hopefully this helps :)

I have a copy of Greed in my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk EDH deck, because that enchantment is such an amazing resource in that deck, but I am contemplating replacing that card with one of two other cards, so I would like to ask everyone else here, for advice, on this matter.

The first card that I am considering as a replacement for Greed is Erebos, God of the Dead, since he has the exact same mana cost as Greed, as well as being indestructible, preventing my opponents from gaining life, and potentially being a 5/7 creature, but my only concern is that his activated ability costs 1 more mana than does that of Greed, and that additional cost shall add up, over the course of a game.

The second card that I am considering is Lunar Convocation, because that card is less expensive than is Greed, yet has several amazing abilities, but, again, its primary ability costs 1 more mana than does that of Greed, so I am not certain if I can justify replacing the existing enchantment.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I keep Greed in my Liesa deck, or should I replace it with one of the other two cards? Is it worth paying 1 additional mana to draw a card in exchange for the additional abilities? I certainly would appreciate any feedback that anyone here may have to offer.

If you are looking at getting a "good rate" of turning resources into cards you may want to start looking at ways of turning life into cards, since you have a lot of incidental life gain.

Enchantments like:

Greed Necrodominance Unfulfilled Desires Phyrexian Etchings Yawgmoth's Bargain Nihilistic Glee Lunar Convocation

Are repeatable ways to turn life into cards.

Cards like:

Cut of the Profits Eldritch Pact Peer into the Abyss Sanguimancy Pain's Reward

Will give you a big hit of cards for life.

Cool deck, you've got a LOT of lands, and a pretty low mana curve. I'd recommend removing a couple of lands, and adding more ramp, or removal, or card draw. Rampant Growth is a great ramp spell, Path to Exile or Generous Gift are great removal options, and because you're gaining a lot of life with food tokens, Greed Is a great option for card draw.

Have fun!

Things that can be useful with life gain. Kuro, Pitlord, Doom Whisperer, Greed, Staff of Compleation, Unspeakable Symbol, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Vona, Butcher of Magan. Just a few of the things I found with a quick search that could be interesting.
