DemonDragonJ on All Will Be One

I have replaced Flux Channeler and Vedalken Orrery with Lulu, Stern Guardian and High Fae Trickster, because I feel that those cards are better suited for this deck, since Lulu is an addition source of proliferation and also a mana sink and the fae is a creature.

DemonDragonJ on Flux Channeler or Lulu, Stern …

4 months ago

I have a copy of Flux Channeler in my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I am contemplating replacing that card with Lulu, Stern Guardian, because Lulu works as a mana sink and also has an additional ability that works well with that deck's theme. It is true that the channeler requires no additional investment of resources after she is summoned, but her ability has a restriction that I find to be annoying (as it prevents me from replacing Vedalken Orrery with High Fae Trickster), and I already have a copy of Inexorable Tide in that deck, so replacing the channeler would not be a major issue.

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Should I replace Flux Channeler with Lulu, or leave the channeler in my deck? I certainly am eager to hear your thoughts, on this matter!

I'm fond of the Leyline. There's also Vedalken Orrery.

I'm not sure about the land though. Seems slow and you gotta tap 3 lands to use the effect like you said.

High Fae Trickster is another option.

Some creatures to consider to give you a better early game:

Picklock Prankster - Can be played to dig for more cards at instant speed (faeries or instant spells), and is a cheap creature to play.

Hypnotic Sprite - Option to play as counter and play as creature makes it a useful card. Not high power, but playable.

Spellstutter Sprite - Probably one of the best faeries you can play as it is a cheap flash creature that serves as counter magic.

Faerie Miscreant - A decent one drop option. Only really useful to give you early board presence that helps with Spellstuter Sprite, but also chance to give you card draw if you can open with more then 1 copy.

If you can afford:

Brazen Borrower - One of the best aggressive creature options you have that also serves as early bounce. Understable that it is hard to obtain due to cost ($$$), but if you can use them I would definetly say this would be a must for this kind of deck.

Cards I would remove:

Wasp Lancer - To slow and over costed

Glen Elendra Liege - Not enough multi colored creatures to take proper advantage of its bonus.

Cards I would trim copies:

High Fae Trickster - Would only run up to 2 copies due to high mana value of card. Personally would not use.

Faerie Swarm - overcosted if you don't have creatures on board, if you have creatures you might already be winning due to flying aggro. Maybe 1 or 2 copies in deck.

Oona, Queen of the Fae - Very late game card in a deck that doesn't really have a way to build to late game, seems like bad fit for this deck. Would only use it as a one of fun of, but ultimately cut.

Lastly I would suggest maybe some cheaper bounce spells like Fading Hope so it is easier to do something like bounce a threat and counterspell it on its way back to the board. Fading hope adds extra bonus to get some scry action and even can be used on own creatures as a form of protection.

DemonDragonJ on Why Does High Fae Trickster …

I believe that High Fae Trickster's mana cost is too lenient, especially when one considers that she completely outclasses Yeva, Nature's Herald, other than having a lower toughness. I believe that the trickster should have a mana cost of cost {2}{U}{U}, rather than {3}{U}, given how heavily blue her abilities are, especially considering that Yeva costs {2}{G}{G} to cast.

What does everyone else say, about this? Why do you believe that High Fae Trickster has such a lenient mana cost, and, as an additional question, considering that Vivien, Champion of the Wilds exists, will WotC ever print a creature card who is identical to Yeva, except that it shall grant flash to all creature spells, rather than merely green creature spells? I certainly am interested to hear everyone's thoughts, on this matter.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Put High Fae …

1 year ago

High Fae Trickster is an amazing card, and I have put into the majority of my decks that contain the color blue, but I am wondering if I should put it into my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice and Progenitus EDH decks, since those decks are a four- and five-colored deck, so I am not certain if I should replace the colorless Vedalken Orrery with a colored card, since it is very important that I be able to afford to cast any spell in those decks.

What does everyone else say, about this? Should I put High Fae Trickster into those two decks?

DemonDragonJ on Utopian Prosperity

I have replaced Vedalken Orrery with High Fae Trickster, since the faerie is simply too good to not put in any deck that contains the color blue, and Marshal's Anthem with Brokers Ascendancy, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.66 to 3.65, and also slightly improved the color balance of this deck, as well, since the ascendancy is a better match for the theme of this deck than is the anthem.
