DemonDragonJ on Should I Put the New …

1 month ago

I would like to put Elsha, Threefold Master into my Numot, the Devastator EDH deck, but I am not certain which creature I should remove, to make room, for her; Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is very expensive, but she is one of my favorite creatures in the game, and she has great synergy with numerous other cards in this deck, including both version of Aurelia: Aurelia, the Warleader, and Aurelia, the Law Above. Medomai the Ageless is not the most powerful of creatures, but I always enjoy being able to take additional turns, and I can take even more, if I combine him with either True Conviction and/or the aforementioned Aurelia. Wall of Denial is merely a blocker, but it is an amazingly excellent one, so I would like to keep it, in that deck, as well, and Esper Sentinel is not essential to this deck's identity or strategy, but I would prefer to avoid raising its mana curve, if I can help it. I feel that I may not need to keep either Iroas, God of Victory *list* or Keranos, God of Storms in this deck, since reaching seven devotion to two colors is not always easy to achieve in a three-colored deck, and, between those two creatures, I believe that Keranos is the least essential to the deck, since the deck originally did not have a very strong central them, but it gradually has evolved to have a focus on combat, so Iroas is more essential to the deck's theme and strategy than is Keranos.

What does everyone else here say, about this? Should I put the new Elsha into my Numot deck, and, if so, what card should I remove to make room, for her? I certainly am eager to receive your feedback!

Updated this deck extensively based on EDH play at my LGS. Foremost, I have swapped commanders: Iroas, God of Victory *list* is now the commander and Akiri is within the 99. I have had great success with this deck and won several times against pods with very good players. Very happy with it's performance and will updte the main description soon.

I have replaced Marshal's Anthem with Iroas, God of Victory *list*, which helped to improve the color balance of this deck, because the anthem simply is too expensive and inefficient for its effect, and that is one fewer card that synergizes with Whirlwind of Thought, but that is not a major issue, for me or for this deck.

Why?

The focus of these changes were to increase the token generation ability of the deck. Many of the removed cards interacted with cards that have been killed/allowing me to profit off of the death of tokens/creatures. Often, this would lead to me having a board of creatures that Caesar couldn't make use of which would stall my boardstate.

11 Card Changes

Removals

Creatures

-1 Alesha, Who Smiles at Death: Limited Graveyard recursion that didn't do much for many of my creatures

-1 Athreos, God of Passage: Tokens are what mainly die in my deck and those can't be in my hand

-1 Deathgreeter: Hard choice to make with this one, but at the end of the day, I wanted to remove this aspect of the deck. I don't care as much about longterm survivability if I can win early.

-1 Desdemona, Freedom's Edge: Similar to Alesha and Atheros

-1 Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim: Another hard choice to make, but I want to focus on tokens entering the battlefield and the attack phase rather than sacrificing and graveyard.

-1 Morbid Opportunist: Good card but similar to Elas, I want to focus on ETB and Attacking rather than killing

-1 Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy: I don't want many of my creature cards attacking and honestly the CMC of many of my creatures doesn't make this card worth it

-1 Pitiless Plunderer: Same as Morbid

-1 White Glove Gourmand: Ended up being a card that read: 4 mana create 2 humans, which is not ideal

Artifacts

-1 Ashnod's Altar: Never really panned out how I wanted it to, make room for better cards

Enchantments

-1 Battle of Hoover Dam: Choosing NCR runs into the same issue as Alesha and Desmonda, choosing Legion is fine but also not amazing. I would rather buff all my cards or keep them small to help with McCready

Additions

Creatures

+1 Hero of Bladehold: Great consistent token generator, and it creates soldiers

+1 Iroas, God of Victory *list*: Keep my tokens alive and able to consistently hit face against tall boards

+1 Karlach, Fury of Avernus: I LOVE this card, similar to Isshin being able to trigger Caesar's ability multiple times per turn is super strong. Also, I have many other attack phase triggers

+1 Myrel, Shield of Argive: Better Hero of Bladehold + Grand Abolisher, this card is a no brainer. Plus it has soldier synergy

Enchantments

+1 Anointed Procession: Stupid to not include this card in a white token deck

+1 Court of Embereth: This card is STRONG, consistently generates targets for Caesar to sacrifice if needed, and it does Caesar's strongest ability automatically every turn. Also Monarch is fun and I can consistently fight to keep it.

+1 Warleader's Call: Purphoros and a static +1/+1

Instants

+1 Grand Crescendo: At worst, it's 2 mana to make my board indestructible, at best it generates tokens for me

Sorcerys

+1 Finale of Glory: Token generator

Artifacts

+1 Mana Vault: More fast mana!

+1 The One Ring: Card draw plus protection from everything

Noire_Samhain thank you for the feedback. The power level of my pod is not super high, but not super low either, so maybe this could fit. The other option is Iroas, God of Victory *list* so...

Heart of War {3}{R}{W}

Enchantment

All creatures have haste, reach, and vigilance, must attack or block each turn if able and may block up to one additional creature.

All Planeswalkers are creatures in addition to their other types and their power and toughness or each equal to their loyalty.

Iroas, God of Victory promises valor and honor. He does not, however, promise it only to you...

---

I thought this card would be befitting of Iroas. True to the Greek pantheon, the gods always try to find a way to outsmart and belittle mankind. Their gifts are frequently a mockery of the faith.

He doesn't promise YOU victory, he only promises "victory".

If your enemies win, and your comrades fail, then so be it.

This is definitely an excellent deck, and I like it, very much, but I do have some questions and/or suggestions; first, how does Angel of Glory's Rise fit the theme of this deck, since she does not have an ability taht triggers upon attacking? Second, would you considering putting any of the following card into this deck?: Fervent Charge, Powerstone Minefield, Grave Titan, Inferno Titan, or Sun Titan? Also, Bedlam affects your creatures, so would you consider either Goblin War Drums or Iroas, God of Victory, instead, and would you consider spending one more mana to replace Berserkers' Onslaught with Rage Reflection, or one less mana for Blade Historian, instead?
