DemonDragonJ on Advice for a Green/White EDH …

2 months ago

I am planning to build a green/white EDH deck, with Sigarda, Host of Herons as the general, so I would like to ask for advice on constructing it.

Most decks that have the original Sigarda as the general tend to be either "Voltron" decks (i.e., making the general as powerful as possible) or "enchantress" decks (i.e., focusing on enchantments), so I would like to make my deck slightly different from the typical Sigarda deck; specifically, I plan for the deck to have three major themes: a focus on gaining life, but not quite to the extent of my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck; a focus on generating creature tokens, but not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exilefoil deck; and a focus on putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not to the extent of my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck; in other words, it shall be a "jack of all trades" deck, but with plenty of synergy and overlap between those themes. Sigarda does not directly contribute to any of those themes, but I chose her as the general, because she is very difficult to remove, once she is on the battlefield, and I feel that this type of creative and unusual deckbuilding is good and should be encouraged.

First, for gaining life, I am considering cards that make it easy to do so, such as True Conviction, Dazzling Angel, Archangel of Thune, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Sunscorch Regent, Oracle of Nectars, and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, as well as cards that offer payoffs/rewards for gaining life, such as (again) Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, Trelesarra, moon dancer, Blossoming Bogbeast or Trudge Garden.

Second, for generating creature tokens, I am considering Vernal Sovereign, Aura Mutation, Trudge Garden (again), Selesnya Guildmage (possibly), or Scepter of Celebration, and, for cards that reward me for generating tokens, I am considering Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Dazzling Angel, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

Third, for placing +1/+1 counters on creatures, I am considering Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Archangel of Thune, Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Sunscorch Regent, Forgotten Ancient (possibly), and (possibly) Vigor, and, for cards that allow me to use those counters as payment for other effects, I am considering Fertilid, Mindless Automaton, (possibly) Ooze Flux.

Notice how many of those cards have synergy and overlap, allowing me to pursue three themes in a single deck, and I also plan to have a number of generically good cards that I use in many of my decks, such as True Conviction, Mirari's Wake, Seedborn Muse, or Sigarda, Font of Blessings, as well as several cards that I have not used in any of my previous decks, thus far, such as Hydra Broodmaster, Pledge of Loyalty, Camaraderie, Commander's Plate, Behemoth Sledge, Shield of the Oversoul, or Veteran Beastrider. I also am considering putting either Valkyrie Harbinger or Kalonian Hydra into this deck, but I do not wish for this deck to be too similar to any of my other decks, so I would prefer to avoid putting those cards into this deck, if I can avoid doing so, and I also am not yet certain about Doubling Season, staff of completion, or Selvala, Explorer Returned, since those cards would be awesome in this deck, but I do not wish to use them in every deck in which they would be a good addition.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you think that this is an interesting idea, and what suggestions can you make, for me? Thank you, very much, and I certainly am awaiting everyone’s responses!

DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Innkeeper's …

Bookrook, I had already made this deck by the time that Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider was printed, so I could not find a card to remove to make room, for him, and I have Sigarda, Font of Blessings in this deck, because her ability is too valuable to not put her into any deck that contains white and green, and, when I control both her and Shalai, Voice of Plenty, all of my permanents shall have hexproof.

RiotRunner, I agree that Juniper Order Ranger is rather expensive for what he does, but his ability is too useful, since it requires no additional investment after his initial casting cost, and, if you wish, I can explain my reasoning for choosing each planeswalker, in that deck.

RiotRunner789 on How Can I Put Innkeeper's …

I'd take out Juniper Order Ranger. His cost is a bit high and you have cheaper and abundant ways to get counters on creatures (such as soon to be included (Innkeeper's Talent).

You have 36 (now 37?) noncreature spells which is plenty to justify Flux Channeler.

If you still wanted to improve past that, I would look at your planeswalkers package. Seems there could be more heft (I tend to be degenerate with mine) but if they suit you well, ignore this comment because that's probably just your play style.

DemonDragonJ on Kalonian Hydra or Bristly Bill?

1 year ago

FormOverFunction, I am very fond of Juniper Order Ranger, for the exact reason that you gave.

RiotRunner789, in that case, I may simply keep the hydra, as I agree that it is very powerful, but, perhaps I should wait for several more responses, before I make my final decision.

FormOverFunction on Kalonian Hydra or Bristly Bill?

Possibly replace Juniper Order Ranger instead..? I know that gets the proliferate-ball rolling on creatures... but a lot of them already come in with at least one counter...

Few ideas some janky. Some decent.

Rumor Gatherer card selection/draw

Beast Whisperer card draw

Ashling's Prerogative very good with Tanya and token.

Betrothed of Fire buff tanya

Scale Up over run type effect that can be used early.

Cathars' Crusade buff your board on etb.

Good-Fortune Unicorn simular to crusade a bad one. But on a creature.

Basri's Lieutenant makes tokens for rebuild after boardwipe . Also combos with cathar crusade and a sac outlet.

Grand Crescendo protection token maker.

Sublime Archangel a better version of the enchament. Angelic Exaltation Because it's on a creature

Juniper Order Ranger buff itself and etb creatures to include tokens.

Basri Ket launch the fleet effect. With protection for a commander to get in.

Second Harvest token doubler.

I would also suggest at least one Xtra combat spellResponse / Resurgenceperhaps?

Without an eldrazi to tutor I'm not a fan of the From Beyond

I'd definitely put in more ramp. A Sakura-Tribe Elder 2 each Signet or talismans. You have some fun but perhaps clunky at times cards like Tilonalli's Summoner that's wants to be an early drop but doesn't provide much before you have a boardstate. I tried it before but eventually I cut her. Mycoloth as well. Sac your board to double it in 2 turns if it survives. Seems alot to ask. Too glass cannon like.

Noice! Herd Baloth & Scurry Oak fit perfectly with Ivy Lane Denizen & Juniper Order Ranger and shouldn't cost too much. ^_^

AstroAA on Lae'Zel Master Chef +1/+1 counters

3 years ago

Adding in because it dawned on me after the fact: If you wanted to further trim your CMC, replace Juniper Order Ranger with Good-Fortune Unicorn. Not as good as Juniper Order Ranger as it doesn't place a +1/+1 counter on itself, but it does still place a counter on the ETB'ing creature for two less mana.

Managorger Hydra and Knight of Autumn are both really strong. Avenger of Zendikar can get ridiculous really quickly. You should also look at including more spot removal, like Nature's Claim, Beast Within, and Generous Gift. Tutors like Chord of Calling, Worldly Tutor, Eladamri's Call, and Green Sun's Zenith can help add in redundancy.

Also, I'd advise replacing the taplands (lands that ETB tapped) in your landbase. These slow you down a lot. Things like Brushland, Bountiful Promenade, City of Brass, Mana Confluence, and maybe even sometimes Razorverge Thicket can be helpful. Also, fetches like Windswept Heath, Arid Mesa, Misty Rainforest, and Prismatic Vista can also speed you up tremendously because they filter lands from your deck, meaning you're more likely to draw a card that you can play instead of a land - albeit playing fetches like the ones I've listed can get rather expensive $$$ wise very quickly.
