Destroyerbirb on K'rrik Son of Yawgmoth 2.0

3 weeks ago

For cuts I would recommend:

Professor Onyx - While Liliana's side job is beneficial for society (educators are very important, especially those who help us raise people from the dead), the deck doesn't have a strong spell slinger theme so her static doesnt work, the minus three is not as optimal as it makes itself out to be, and other effects are... not worth the six mana and time required.

Charcoal Diamond - You've got a ridiculous amount of ramp in this deck already, not sure this piece is needed. Plus, with the way K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth works, you want to ramp in colourless more than in black with your artifacts and similar since K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth always pays for black anyways, so Mind Stone just makes Charcoal Diamond look that much more of a downgrade.

Defense Grid - Not really seeing the point. Plus, this is meant to be a casual deck, all this will do is make everyone more upset and make interaction harder.

Saw in Half - It's a fun card not really worth adding.

Meathook Massacre 2 - I have a feeling it's a bit redundant to have both, especially since they both do a bit different things and you've got many tutors. Cutting the second part instead of its original installation would make more sense because this copy does cost a lot for its effect, whereas The Meathook Massacre became so played because it being pretty low costing for everything it does.

Paradise Plume - A lot of mana for its effect, and you have too many ramp cards.

Shared Trauma - Not too sure on this card's inclusion and what it would do.

Chain of Smog - I personally don't think discard cards are very strong in EDH, might be a good cut. I can see this being played against CEDH players and having a big effect, but EDH? Not as convinced.

Grim Tutor - You've got a lot of tutors, you can cut this one.

Final Parting - Same as above.

Diabolic Tutor - You can guess what I've got to say about this one.

Platinum Angel - I think take this one out. You can't pay life below zero so I'm not sure why else this would be in the deck.

Phage the Untouchable - As you said, you'd put it in your maybeboard and have it come out a game or two so you can just say you've killed someone with Phage, but I'd probably just keep it in the maybeboard.

Orcish Bowmasters - What are you playing, CEDH?

Opposition AgentGC - This is really more a meta suggestion than anything, but you don't verse people with a lot of tutors, you'd be lucky if people run more than one tutor. I'd cut this just from a meta perspective, or at least have it as a maybeboard card.

Doomsday Excruciator - Eh, nah.

Dimir House Guard - It's a sac outlet and a tutor in one, so I see what you're going with, which is why I'm only partially suggesting it as a cut, but also it's not the best at either job.

Chainer, Dementia Master - Not sure I'm feeling Chainer in this deck specifically.

Bloodletter of Aclazotz - Would be a lovely card for our cube, but I think there are already better finishers in this deck.

Asmodeus the Archfiend - Another maybe cut. It's a fun and spicy card, but also you're losing a lot of life for an effect which you do better with other cards in here. You really don't want to have too many cards that do similar things, especially since you've got many tutors and draw cards.

Cabal Stronghold - You've got three basic lands. There is no world in which you could activate this card and get a payoff from it.

Emergence Zone - Playing stuff at instant speed doesn't really help your deck.

Rogue's Passage - Zero use in this deck.

/

I also have addition suggestions:

Torment of Hailfire - Not sure why this isn't here.

Swamp - Add one Swamp for every land cut.

Counter target spell. You lose the game.

So yeah, you could either pair this card with say Angel's Grace or Platinum Angel or, if you're facing an inevitable defeat, send your opponent a final act of defiance before scooping with class.

Create an unset card that hates on cards that cost a lot of money. It must be common rarity.

Barjack521 on Cheap deck always wins.

I realize I'm something like 10 years late to the party but have you considered adding Slaughter Pact? it could be useful for dealing with things that shut down commanders like Drannith Magistrate and since it's technically zero CMC it won't matter for the Ad Nauseam life loss. Plus spot removal can come in handy lots of ways if someone is playing creature stax pieces or something less subtle like a Platinum Angel. The other suggestions I had were Rain of Filth and/or Bubbling Muck which can each be used to go off earlier. I copied this deck and added a Skirge Familiar and an Exsanguinate and a Torment of Hailfire rather than use the zombie swarm cards as my alternate win con. If they stop the sickening dreams / dark sphere I can use the familiar to discard the rest of my hand to drain them out.

Bookrook on Mythic Storm Crow

4 months ago

Logical arguments why storm crow is the best card in the game: 1. Force of Will is a legacy staple. Storm crow has “exile this card from your hand, discard a card named force of will, pay one life: counter target spell.” Strictly better fow. 2. Storm crow has flying, which means it has “tap: deal damage to storm crows power to target player or planeswalker. Activate only if opponent controls no creatures with flying or reach.” 3. If your opponent has exactly one life, and your opponent has 100 of the second best card in the game, Colossal Dreadmaw, you can still win the game. 4. If you have Worship in play and a storm crow, it turns into a Platinum Angel.

This is just something I've been playtesting and am basically trying to solve "How do I safely tap out to play Platinum Angel without it Dying to Doom Blade?"

I know this is jank but this is what got me looking at and thinking about Disrupting Shoal in general... and then I was trying to figure out if the was a card you just jammed in a deck list or if it was a card you would build around like planning/anticipating to pitch 1MV/2MV/3MV spells,

JackNavi on [EDH][Primer] Giada's Angel Harem ~{FOILED}~

Heyo, love the deck and theme. Quick additions from a fellow Angel Beats player: Sigarda's Aid will help out with all of your awesome Equipment. Serra's Emissary can protect your Platinum Angel from Instants and you from Creatures. And I would suggest running Helm of the Host or Blade of Selves for multiples of Giada and for fun! Also, I would run Reprieve in the deck as well, since you have Approach of the Second Sun to really lock in that win! Have fun and I hope to see more!!!!

orcopollo on Angels We Have Heard On High [PRIMER]

Thanks for your interest in my deck and for your suggestions, NV_1980, I am glad you liked it! These are indeed excellent cards that I also considered. However, since my deck revolves mostly on Angel-token generation, I found that creature recursion is not as useful as it would normally be. Plus, I am trying to keep the average CMC relatively low so that I can cast multiple spells per turn and trigger the lifegain engine (which in turns makes me the tokens), and recursion cards like these are usually quite expensive to cast. This said, Platinum Angel is definitely something I will consider, especially as an antidote to combo-decks and as a way to buy a few more turns and maybe scrap a win :)
