Haste

When Molten Primordial enters the battlefield, for each opponent, take control of up to one target creature that player controls until end of turn. Untap those creatures. They have haste until end of turn.

Honesty not sure if this is a good add (very hit or miss) but I think that knowing of its existence is nice... Mindclaw Shaman.

I guess if you are holding Dualcaster Mage for someone else's spells then that's fine but if not maybe you would play Wort, the Raidmother because she could be better (and makes tokens!).

In creature heavy match ups both Molten Primordial and Sepulchral Primordial are fun.

Hoarding Dragon is an excellent tutor for an artifact like Sundial of the Infinite as long as he isn't exiled.

Lastly, Izoni, Thousand-Eyed will generate a ton of tokens (you have 40+ creatures in your deck) and can be a ok sac outlet.

Hope you found these suggestions insightful! +1

Lanzo493 on Feldon and then I got back up

Check out my deck FELDON EDH PRIMER: FELDON NEEDS SOME LOVE. I’ve put a ton of time into polishing this off, so hopefully there will be some good pointers for you. Feldon is my favorite.

Here are the best cards that support Feldon. You’ve already got Illusionist's Bracers. Other great cards are Thousand-Year Elixir, Magewright's Stone, Puppet Strings (I don’t run it though), Sundial of the Infinite, Mirage Mirror, and a card I really want to get my hands on: Rings of Brighthearth. All of these cards allow for multiple activations of Feldon a turn, easily putting you in a dominant position. Mirage Mirror can copy a reanimated creature, a useful enchantment, or turn into a land in response to removal. It’s great. I underestimated it at first.

Some other aces I’ve found are Balefire Dragon, Molten Primordial, Ancient Stone Idol, and any eldrazi. Not the titans that shuffle. The smaller ones. It That Betrays, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Ulamog's Crusher, Breaker of Armies and whatnot.

The best part about Feldon is how he flies under the radar. Just be careful of enchantments. They’re the reason I run Ugin, the Ineffable and Chaos Warp.

Nice. A few suggestions, given your new theme:

Hazoret's Favor is built for this deck.

Mogg Cannon is less powerful, but a backup sac outlet and cheap.

Mark of Mutiny is a good threaten for Greven.

Traitorous Instinct is basically Malevolent Whispers v0.9.

Treacherous Urge gets any creatures your opponents think they can keep in-hand until Greven leaves the field.

Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor , Goblin Spymaster , Hunted Dragon , and Hunted Horror will make sure you have a steady stream of creatures to kill.

Molten Primordial , Insurrection , Mass Mutiny , Captivating Crew , Angrath, the Flame-Chained , Conquering Manticore are all notable Threatens that are missing.

Auger Spree doubles as removal and card draw. Bedeck / Bedazzle does the same and also hits problematic lands. Nameless Inversion is probably the worst of the three, but it can be grabbed by creature tutors, so there's that.

Unwilling Recruit and Might Makes Right might not be efficient, but they will be funny.

Goatnap . That is all.

Initial thoughts. Deck needs to be piled out to see what needs to be shored up. Look up 8x8 deck building theory. Once its piled itll be more clear.

Cuts:

Arcbound Worker

Rakdos Cackler

Sage of Fables - Expensive

Sparring Construct

Trinket Mage - Fetches nothing

Goblin Bombardment - Expensive

Spinal Embrace - really high CMC for effect

Act of Treason -> Hijack

Threaten -> Kari Zev's Expertise

Mass Mutiny -> Molten Primordial

Carnage Altar

---

Adds:

Wild Ricochet

Dreadhorde Butcher - a must

Talisman of Creativity - minus a locket or signet

Wildfire Devils

Stalking Vengeance (maybe)

Herald of Secret Streams

Viscera Seer

River Kelpie

Puppeteer Clique

Maybe Molten Primordial and Inferno Titan ? Pretty good ETBs to get off of Ilharg.

saint5one on Cheesa and the board that never goes away

11 months ago

Hey GMD :)

i think Bloodflow Connoisseur just has too much value to cut as it can defend it self (by having +1/+1) and is a sac outlet, however i do see your point. I think you have misunderstood Drana, Liberator of Malakir however, i have copied this from a ruling: "The +1/+1 counter won’t change how much damage Drana or any other attacking creature with first strike or double strike deals during that combat damage step. However, the +1/+1 counters that are put on attacking creatures without first strike will affect the damage those creatures deal during the regular combat damage step." so in fact all other creatures than Drana will get +1/+1 this combat unless they have first strike themselves - i find this really handy for 2 reasons: first of it can help defend the board state if we cant get the dethrone trigger and secondly it doubles the +1/+1 counter if we do have the dethrone trigger as well.

As i have gone pretty heavy on sac outlets, as the deck is so depended on them, i rarely have problems with Molten Primordial and also due to his high CMC he is often times a game closing card that will take out at least one enemy - however, i have considered cutting him due to his CMC.

and yes Sneak Attack !!! i really do need this card, but due to its cost i will wait a bit or hope i can trade me to it. Ilharg, Raze boar sure does seem interesting, my biggest concern is his CMC, where i think that once i can get him out i will have emtied my hands for creatures, but i might be wrong and he is definetly worth giving a try :)

Ooo, i think flickering could be good. Twinflame seems good with feather.

Felidar Guardian & Restoration Angel combo with Impact Tremors .

Manic Vandal , Flametongue Kavu , Molten Primordial , & Mirrorwing Dragon might be useful.
