MindAblaze on Best Creatures to Copy?

3 weeks ago

Mulldrifter and any of the other evoke creatures you like are easy to copy and useful to have more than one of.

Eternal Witness is useful, and Coiling Oracle is always a classic.

Diluvian Primordial and Molten Primordial on the other end are also silly. I have to agree that unless you’re doubling your mana somehow as your primary game plan, cheap creatures will probably be the easier route. You also have to get Riku out and keep him alive.

Wonder and Bower Passage --> creatures you control can't be blocked except by creatures with Reach.

Insidious Dreams --> Discard a bunch of permanenent cards, which is essentially just saving them for later, and then stack your deck with combos.

Forgotten Creation with Golgari Grave-Troll --> Every upkeep, you discard your hand, and then draw that many cards. Then, in your draw step, mill 6 and get the grave-troll back. Repeat every turn for some massive self-mill. It gets even better with Underrealm Lich.

Every graveyard based deck with ETB trigger creatures needs sac outlets. Both Viscera Seer and Undercity Informer were chosen because they help dig for combo pieces.

Alchemist's Refuge and Awakening --> Take an extra turn during each opponent's turn (but you can't cast stuff from the grave).

Mindslaver --> a salty, one-card combo that basically says "Pay during your main phase to control your opponent's next turn... every turn, forever."

I've seen Mulldrifter in a lot of Muldrotha decks, but Bequeathal is by far the best card draw deck tech available in its class.

Glacial Chasm is a one-card combo that basically says "sacrifice a land every turn, but you can't be attacked anymore." If you choose not to pay the cumulative upkeep cost, you just get rid of it and then you can attack with your creatures. Play it again in the post-combat main phase to stop any incoming attacks. This card is great.

Memnite is a really great card in this build. When you run out of mana, you're still able to cast it, and it's a great, repeatable sac outlet or chump blocker that just keeps coming back. Counts as an artifact or a creature.

Similarly, Jace's Phantasm is a one-mana 5/5. It's insane how good this card is. You just need to mill your opponents a little bit with Undercity Informer, Fleet Swallower, or Dreamborn Muse

Kodama of the East Tree is great with Muldrotha, because you will want to be casting stuff from the graveyard and generally ignoring your hand. Well, every time you get something from the grave, you can also get something from your hand.

3> Ahhh I've been wanting to play with Obosh, the Preypiercer and Angrath's Marauders - glad you found a spot for them. While you're at it, you could also consider other "damage doublers" such as Wound Reflection and Fiendish Duo. I've thought about a Vial-Smasher deck with a White partner just to add Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

3> I see you enjoy big monsters and X-spells here. Oh to be young again... but seriously, this seems like a good deck to play them in as you would be rewarded. Instants are your friend, as you can Smash Vials on everyone's turn! No Comet Storm?

3> I would be worried about Vial-Smasher getting nuked from orbit as soon as your turn passes and it's no longer indestructible. You'll find Heroic Intervention and Slippery Bogbonder will help with targeted Exile removal. You already have Destroy and Sacrifice covered I see.

3> I see some cost-reduced and commander-free spells in there, but you have a limited suite. While doing research for my thoughts on Vial-Smasher, I found the following might be helpful - list is just copy/paste, so it will include some White and/or Blue cards:

• 3- Offalsnout (evoke B)

Kind of generic Yuriko tech, she works really well with cards that have alternate costs, like evoke (Mulldrifter) or delve (Dig Through Time, Temporal Trespass, Treasure Cruise, even Murderous Cut might be nice).

Omniscience_is_life on Court of Grace, the best …

1 month ago

Peligrad I think it's important to count up just how many cards Court of Grace will draw you over the course of a game... let's imagine you get the Court by T4. Good start, not impossible by any means. Let's also say we choose to cast it over Solemn Simulacrum, Smothering Tithe, or Alms Collector--or even a three-drop like Burnished Hart, or Generous Gift. All that said, let's go with that we cast CoG on T4. We draw one card off it. Move to T5, people have likely stopped ramping (in a typical EDH game) and are now building value engines: such as Thassa, Deep-Dwelling and Mulldrifter. You are now drawing 1 (maybe) card to that players' 2, and you have a target on your back because of your flyers. T6, what's that? Austere Command, Bane of Progress, Cleansing Nova, Tranquility, Child of Alara, or Nevinyrral's Disk? Darn!

Spell_Slam I'm adding ephemerate in the main and keeping Ghostly Flicker at 2. More flicker sooner, and you get a turn 4 combo with Mulldrifter. You also get some sweet sideboard tech. Leave No Trace and Light of Hope.

SKYBREAKER44 on Muldrotha, the Ebbing Tide

Some updated thoughts on this deck:

• Mana base, this has been interesting and fun but it's worth noting I studied operations research and optimization. Thoughts on this are, fetch lands that tap for mana (like the Panorama's) are better because they can be replayed and tap for colourless. This is also why the cycling lands are really good. Given the amount of things that fetch basic lands, I think basics would be better than scry or check lands. TLDR: I have run out of basics a few times with this deck...

• Tormod, The Desecrator from Commander Legends will go in. This could create a 2/2 zombie per permanent that leaves the graveyard, that could be 5 in a turn (and one is a land). VALUE.

• Azusa, Lost but Seeking is good, but there is so much ramp in this deck already. I think I prefer something that sacrifices as it can fetch and is repeatable.

• The Mending of Dominaria this card has been awesome for me, but too early and you don't hit enough lands. Too late and you throw back everything you have milled and lose that card advantage. Considering removing this for a Deadbridge Chant, as it mills more and helps cheat out an extra permanent. If it hits a creature, awesome, if it hits anything else and puts it into your hand, still awesome.

• Considering removing Stitcher's Supplier and put in Mulldrifter. Stitcher mills three but there are few ways to kill it to get the extra three unless you enlist help. A one drop that will only get played in the early game unless it is drawn over milled. Mulldrifter on the other hand draws 2 and can kill itself, which is important if the death trigger matters for the Butcher of Malakir.

• The only reason why I want Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord still is because it really excites me with Kokusho, the Evening Star since it can sack it and deal an extra 5 to everyone. Though it is worth mentioning that it can fling a bunch of other creatures if needed. The 4 coloured mana could be hard to cast in the early game, but this is a late game card in this deck. I am flip flopping.
