Rotlung on Faux-Filigree (<2$ EDH deck)

How do you feel about Moriok Replica ? I'd love to play this deck against my friends and see what I would be able to get away with :)

I like how the guy above this comment just casually strolls in and tells you to put in a bunch of moxen...

That said, warriors is one of my favorite tribes and I've made a ton of decks with them! Plus Najeela is such a badass commander! These are my suggestions that you haven't included and could serve as some better synergy with your deck than your non-warriors:

huge detailed list of warriors with combos and shenanigans

• Winota, Joiner of Forces for deck filtering, extra combat step power, and a tutor for your human warriors.
• Samut, Voice of Dissent to give all your creatures haste and she's incredibly powerful in and of herself, can give pseudo vigilance or enable tap/untap shenanigans with her second ability, and she has Flash.
• Garna, the Bloodflame gives your creatures haste and has Flash like Samut. She also helps you instantly recover from board wipes (in my meta boardwipes are so rampant my playgroup has started to implement restrictions on how many can be put into decks, yours may be different).
• Tahngarth, First Mate is a great way to engage politically with the board.
• Harald, King of Skemfar tutors the top 5 of your deck for warriors.
• Varolz, the Scar-Striped also helps you recover from wipes or having your big creatures removed with his scavenge ability.
• Maja, Bretagard Protector she can net you a lot of warrior tokens, especially if you have ways to bounce lands or play extra lands.
• Rhys the Redeemed gets you a lot of warrior elf tokens over the course of a game if you can get him out early.
• Kresh the Bloodbraided helps you recover from removal (but not wipes) in a better way than Varolz.
• Surrak Dragonclaw makes all your warriors uncounterable.
• Zurgo Helmsmasher one of the biggest warrior beat-sticks available to you, and he has haste. His cheap cmc also makes him a huge target while his indestructible clause lets you build other threats on your board while they figure out how to deal with him.
• Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel one of the most perfect ways to recover from a board wipe by putting a massive amount of tokens on the field once he dies (can also use blink or graveyard recursion on him to make more).
• Anthousa, Setessan Hero makes your lands warriors. Works really well with Maja.
• Jedit Ojanen of Efrava makes tons of cat warrior tokens.
• Sosuke, Son of Seshiro gives all your warriors pseudo-deathtouch.
• Yasova Dragonclaw steals their creatures.
• Alesha, Who Smiles at Death gives you graveyard recursion for your low CMC warriors and works really well with ones with ETB's.
• Chief of the Edge should be an auto-include. Chief of the Scale is ok if you are running toughness or need the toughness for certain spells or something, but yeah Chief of the Edge is absolutely where it's at.
• Honored Crop-Captain like Chief of the Edge but only works while attacking.
• Resolute Survivors keeps you in long games
• Brawl-Bash Ogre is a good sac outlet for tokens you aren't using/don't need.
• Proud Wildbonder works REALLY well with Bramblewood Paragon's effect. Also works with Khenra Charioteer
• Rubblebelt Raiders can get absolutely huge with tokens on the board.
• Scuzzback Marauders isn't just a good beatstick, with Persist it can combo off with any of your sac outlets and Bramblewood Paragon.
• Moriok Replica works really good with Alesha for continuous card draw.
• Avenging Huntbonder keeps dishing out the double strike onto your other creatures every turn.
• Blaring Recruiter make warrior tokens.
• Hidden Dragonslayer morph ability takes out your opponents biggest threats.
• Den Protector is great graveyard recursion.
• Nacatl Hunt-Pride lets you control the combat step to your liking.
• Paired Tactician just some nice synergy.
• Mardu Woe-Reaper graveyard removal with every warrior ETB. More important than you think!
• Seasoned Hallowblade just a really strong and low CMC card that will stay on the battlefield throughout an entire game more often than not.
• Steward of Solidarity free vigi warrior token generation every 2 turns or a lot every turn with untap shenanigans.
• Usher of the Fallen the cheapest warrior token creation you can find.
• Battle Brawler with just a single red or white permanent on the battlefield becomes super strong. With Chief of the Edge he becomes a 4 power first strike for 2 mana... not bad.
• Blaring Captain partners with Blaring Recruiter and has Honored Crop-Captain's effect.
• Blood-Chin Fanatic a MUST in any warrior tribal that includes black and makes tokens or pumps a single warrior's power to an absurd level. This card can single handedly win you a game.
• Blood-Chin Rager gives all your warriors menace.
• Champion of Stray Souls expensive, but can recover your entire board very quickly.
• Exquisite Huntmaster an extremely underrated card that can net you a ton of elf warrior tokens in a multiplayer match while also being a beater.
• Mardu Strike Leader using its dash ability can keep it safe from removal. Also makes a 2/1 warrior token every turn.
• Mindblade Render keeps the card draw going off of warrior damage.
• Nadier's Nightblade combos EXTREMELY well with Blood-Chin Fanatic and also with any other sac outlet.
• Sickle Dancer a 4/3 flier when attacking isn't bad for cmc 3.
• Thrasher Brute forms a combo with Scuzzback Marauders and any of the sac outlet warriors.
• Titan Hunter gives combo and solitaire players a clock while also giving you a convenient sac outlet with lifegain.
• Vampire Warlord sac outlet with regenerate.
• Herald of Secret Streams combos really well with Bramblewood Paragon to give your warriors unblockable.
• Nimbus Champion can keep the board clear of annoying blockers.
• Whirlpool Warrior wheel effect on a stick.
• Ahn-Crop Invader another beater sac outlet.
• Archetype of Aggression combos with Proud Wildbonder and keeps your opponents from gaining trample.
• Ash Zealot punish those blue and black decks that like to keep casting their spells over and over from the graveyard!
• Boldwyr Heavyweights tutor for your game ending creature and put it into play for free. Sure your opponents get a tutor too... but it's your turn, and your combat, and you have Najeela...
• Boldwyr Intimidator COWARDS CAN'T BLOCK WARRIORS!
• Kargan Intimidator COWARDS CAN'T BLOCK WARRIORS! FOR CHEAPER!
• Combat Celebrant those additonal combat steps are... chef's kiss
• Frenzied Saddlebrute ridiculously fun political ability.
• Goblin Bushwhacker can end a game if you just laid out a bunch of tokens that turn.
• Goblin Cratermaker get rid of annoying artifacts or spot removal... likes to work with Alesha.
• Goma Fada Vanguard choose a creature to not block each turn based on warriors.
• Kruin Striker strong and cheap card that gets out of hand with sac combos or mass token generation.
• Shatterskull Charger pseudo dash effect with a bunch of other strong abilities.
• Rustrazor Butcher extremely underrated card. First strike and wither for 2 CMC! Can buff it a number of ways to surprise an enemy in combat too.
• Vengeful Firebrand basically a fireball on a stick as long as you have a warrior in the yard.
• Viashino Sandsprinter pseudo dash effect with trample. Has cycling if you need something else.
• Champion of Rhonas cheat whatever creature you want from hand onto the battlefield with no downside.
• Civic Wayfinder helps you get the right colors you need.
• Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip dig through your library for more warriors.
• Golgari Raiders green haste that gets huge if you just suffered a boardwipe.
• Heir of the Wilds just a very strong presence for 2 CMC.
• Imperious Perfect elf warrior token generation.
• Horizon Seeker repeatable color fixing.
• Icehide Troll very, very strong and hard to remove creature. Needs snow lands though.
• Maulfist Revolutionary better version of proliferate.
• Matsu-Tribe Sniper keeps your enemies' dragons, demons, angels, and emrakuls from flying over your field.
• Petrified Wood-Kin expensive, but this guy can't be countered and is extremely difficult to remove and can ETB with insane P/T if you swung in hard on someone that turn.
• Stonehoof Chieftain a game ender if you've pumped your creatures at all.
• Thorn Lieutenant high value low CMC card with a mana dump if you need it (I like the combos for mana dumps better though).
• Unstoppable Ash come out of every combat pretty much unscathed. Only creature better for it is Stonehoof Chieftan.

• Wolfir Avenger flash in for a block and a regenerate ability.

Wow! I mean, this is some seriously next level deck tech doctoring. Thank you so much for your time! I agree with everything you've said, and have tinkered with it somewhat today by swapping in some creatures with similar abilities like you've mentioned.

Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Moriok Replica, and Marionette Master are all on the shopping list now.

I'm still kind of new to building EDH decks so this was really cool. Cheers!!

_5HATT3R3R_ on Alesha, Who Gets Things Done

Cool deck!

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death was one of the first generals I built a commander deck around and I've been tuning mine ever since.

Replacements I would make

• Replace Dolmen Gate with Reconnaissance since it costs 1 less and also can untap your creatures after damage has been dealt to give them pseudo-vigilance.
• Replace Angel of Invention with Marionette Master since if you get infinite ETBs on marionette master, you can sac the infinite tokens to deal infinite damage.

Other cards I might suggest

• Add Moriok Replica is the best card I have in my Alesha deck, it can draw you so many cards every turn.
• Add Panharmonicon/Flameshadow Conjuring so you can get double ETB triggers.
• Add Torch Fiend and Kami of Ancient Law for repeatable artifact/enchantment removal.
• Add Remorseful Cleric for repeatable graveyard hate.
• Add Magus of the Disk for a repeatable board wipe.
• Add Yahenni, Undying Partisan since he's a free sac outlet that can draw you cards and can also be recurred using Alesha.

Combos I might suggest

• Add Reveillark/Sun Titan + Karmic Guide + a sac outlet + a creature with an ETB trigger like Murderous Redcap = infinite ETBs.
• Add Vesperlark + Felidar Guardian + a sac outlet = infinite sacrifices.
• Add Sun Titan + Gift of Immortality + a sac outlet = infinite sacrifices.
• Add Zealous Conscripts + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker = infinite hasty pirates.

Cards I recommend ditching:

• Remove Carrion Grub Its basically 4 mana for 4 cards milled, that isn't worth it.
• Remove Sunforger You only have 6 legal Sunforger targets, it isn't worth it to keep it in.
• Remove Dictate of Erebos You don't need this if you can just get a Ravenous Chupacabra out and keep recurring it.
• Remove Mindclaw Shaman This was a card that I found didn't do much when I played it, there are alot of other creatures with better ETB effects.
• Remove Relic Seeker There isn't much of a need to fetch a piece of equipment since you only have Sunforger, Sword of the Animist, and Skullclamp.

Feel Free to check out my RBW Alesha's Beautiful Smile combo deck for ideas.

Given the name of the game here, artifacts have to be worth it. Moriok Replica, Obelisk of Urd, Staff of Nin, and Temple Bell are not and possibly Mind Stone too. If your Demon and Zombie tribes were less of a subtheme then the Obelisk might be worth it.

As for what to put in, I'd prioritize Ayara, the Whisperer, the Connoisseur, the Marauder, things to clear out yards like Tymaret, Chosen from Death and Leyline of the Void, and creature sac outlets.

This deck looks delightful, but I'm worried about you running out of gas. Some Draw power might help? Harvester of Souls and Sandstone Oracle are outstanding.

Maybe consider Chandra, Flamecaller , Khorvath's Fury , Reforge the Soul , Rix Maadi Reveler , Runehorn Hellkite ? Or if you wanna keep things simple and cheap, Read the Bones and Moriok Replica are solid.

@bushido_man96: Some good arguments dude.

I still prefer the Herald of Anguish. By the time he comes out we should have no problems paying the for his removal ability. Activate it twice and most things on the board should be gome by then.

Recurrable value, that's what I like. Cards that are 99% useless in most decks, but shine in this deck. I mean honestly, what other deck would ever run Sylvok Replica and Moriok Replica? But once you can repeat them, that's when they become interesting. Same with the Glissa Doomblade Engine that is Executioner's Capsule. Pure Value.

Edict creatures... you are starting to persuade me. I run Temur Sabertooth in my Yasova Dragonclaw deck as both removal and protection tool. It is good there, but mana intensive.

Erratic Portal however... I like the ability to target any player with this. Either to help them or to remove a pesky Wonder out of a graveyard. Great political tool. Still, quite mana intensive and a one-time-per-turn ability... I am not sure about it.

Om another note, I am having doubts as to swap Treasure Keeper (which I consider to be a filler card) with Verdurous Gearhulk. Recurring the gearhulk whilst stacking counters on Glissa or Wurmcoil Engine seems like a heavenly dream... I wonder if it's doable however. Any thoughts on this?

MillionLittleE on Glissa, Never-Ending Value

6 years ago

ZuesAwoken Your Judgement of the deck is so far off, i have a feeling you are judging from a casual point of view.

Executioner's Capsule is a trap, is too much to destroy a non-black creature, Its hard thinking of a creature that sees play that this hits that isn't an one, or two drop. Even Three drops is mana neutral value, so the only things that it efficiently hits are four drops and higher. Can you name any relevant creatures that size in Cedh?

Cabal Coffers can make make mana when you have 3 swamps out on the field,as you can tell i have no slow lands, everything enters untapped and produces mana in all situations. Cabal coffers does not, early game matters more than late game. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is here because it synergizes with Mana Web and that is enough.

Solemn Simulacrum, Filigree Familiar, Moriok Replica, and Treasure Keeper these are all too expensive for what this deck wants to be doing. Notice most of my draw is 2 mana or less, the exceptions being Ad Nauseam, Necropotence, The Gitrog Monster. Ad Nauseam isn't actually a draw card its a win condition, the times I Ad Nauseam and don't win on the spot is low, but can still happen. Necropotence always fills my hand and replaces the dead cards in it. The only one that stands out is Gitrog Monster, he is a repeatable draw engine that doesn't need to be recast and helps with the sub land theme of the deck, could he go? yes, but i wouldnt replace him with a card that needs to be recast to get value.

Ichor Wellspring was in the deck originally, but was removed for a lack of being able to get it in the graveyard at will, there aren't many good free artifact sacrifice effects to be worth it. Winter Orb is in the same boat, with lack of ways to abuse it, and remove it at will.

Junk Diver is just a more expensive myr retriever, and a worse scrap trawler, we don't need more of this effect, two is plenty.

Ashnod's Altar is a KCI for creatures. The main use for this effect would be for the combo in the deck. I would rather have KCi over alter because of the sheer number of cards that feeds it over Alter.

Skullclamp along with Contamination best cards are Bitterblossom, and Bloodghast. These are repeatable cards that doesn't require cast glissa in a bad spot. If i have glissa out i also get to add Walking Ballista (walking ballista on two equip skullclamp and ping a 1/1 and draw two cards and return walking ballista to hand)

Reanimate, and Animate Dead are just value reanimate effects, cheaply returning a needed creature, or if i can't cast glissa again. Good Cards are Good.

P.S. you can easily go off with trinisphere in play, I've done it multiple times.
