Update: I made 4+4 Soul sisters and exchanged Indulging Patrician to Kambal, Consul of Allocation. It plays much better now.

I decided to stay with Revitalize, cause it plays well with Lone Rider  ^Flip and doesnt make me lose the card after playing.

I will also keep Ajani for now, cause it works good versus board swipes, creating creature tokens when I am left with no other creature options.

Phoenometroid on Licia, First Sword of the Mardu {Primer}

I've been working to push Licia, Sanguine Tribune for quite a while, especially more into that Mardu Philosophy I came to love. I found out VERY quickly I get a mass amount of hate from my Edgar Markov with my playgroup for how aggressive he is for sure. I do very much love playing themed or tribal based decks. I discovered that I play too many Mardu decks which thins out my card availability for keeping all the decks solid until I amass extra copies of stables. Seeing this framework and the stratagems you provide for Licia is just WOW!

Sadly I don't have many of those expensive cards to piece in now, Wheel of Fortune, Necropotence, Scrubland, Dark Confidant, Enlightened Tutor, Sensei's Divining Top or Tithe but I'm sure I can found some counterparts to use instead.

What do you think of replacing Glory-Bound Initiate with Lone Rider  ^Flip? Also if you have any deck builds or ideas for Kelsien, the Plague I'd love to know your feedback on that, he's another Mardu favorite of mine.

StopShot on What creature type do you …

4 months ago

I'd like to see the Nuckelavee creature type. (Not to be confused with the card Nucklavee - totally different concept.) A Nuckelavee comes from Scottish folklore of a horse and man that have been fused together as one creature. Lone Rider  ^Flip's flipside is an excellent example of one which is probably what it pays homage too.

I get the feeling it leans a bit too much into the specter creature type, but there's nothing saying this creature type has to be black as it would be interesting to see it portrayed in a different color with its own unique slew of mechanics. Perhaps in white-green would be seriously interesting.

Oh and perhaps could we have a "Trap" or "Snare" or "Ambuscade" creature type? I'd like to see some more non-sentient creature types like Wall and I think cards that function as some sort of trap/snare would be great whether they be pitfall traps or trip-snares or magic-based traps that teleport you into oblivion or shrink you to really tiny size. I'd like to see more objects get creature typings.

Glad to see mono white lifegain decks still alive and kicking. Have you considered adding the Martyr of Sands + Abiding Grace package? It let's you recur the soul sisters too, and Serra Ascendant which is probably a removal magnet. You could also run more beaters like Champion of the Parish and Speaker of the Heavens that are 1 cmc over stuff like Lone Rider  ^Flip and Twinblade Paladin.

I would definitely consider Soul Warden Soul's Attendant Ajani's Welcome Lone Rider  ^Flip Fountain of Renewal And Light of Hope is a fantastic utility card for how low cmc it is. And personally I absolutely love Aerial Responder oh and Authority of the Consuls Wouldn’t hurt if you wanted a bit more control going on

Cards such as Hooded Blightfang, Clackbridge Troll and Mangara, the Diplomat are all unnecessary in this deck. If you are looking for card draw, running 3-4 Dawn of Hope would work. As for Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose running 3, would be optimal. Another card that could work well in this deck is Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis. Also Lone Rider  ^Flip and Healer's Hawk are better than Vampire of the Dire Moon and Soulmender in my opinion.
