DemonDragonJ on Advice for a Green/White EDH …

7 months ago

I am planning to build a green/white EDH deck, with Sigarda, Host of Herons as the general, so I would like to ask for advice on constructing it.

Most decks that have the original Sigarda as the general tend to be either "Voltron" decks (i.e., making the general as powerful as possible) or "enchantress" decks (i.e., focusing on enchantments), so I would like to make my deck slightly different from the typical Sigarda deck; specifically, I plan for the deck to have three major themes: a focus on gaining life, but not quite to the extent of my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck; a focus on generating creature tokens, but not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exile deck; and a focus on putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not to the extent of my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck; in other words, it shall be a "jack of all trades" deck, but with plenty of synergy and overlap between those themes. Sigarda does not directly contribute to any of those themes, but I chose her as the general, because she is very difficult to remove, once she is on the battlefield, and I feel that this type of creative and unusual deckbuilding is good and should be encouraged.

First, for gaining life, I am considering cards that make it easy to do so, such as True Conviction, Dazzling Angel, Archangel of Thune, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Sunscorch Regent, Oracle of Nectars, and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, as well as cards that offer payoffs/rewards for gaining life, such as (again) Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, Trelesarra, moon dancer, Blossoming Bogbeast or Trudge Garden.

Second, for generating creature tokens, I am considering Vernal Sovereign, Aura Mutation, Trudge Garden (again), Selesnya Guildmage (possibly), or Scepter of Celebration, and, for cards that reward me for generating tokens, I am considering Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Dazzling Angel, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

Third, for placing +1/+1 counters on creatures, I am considering Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Archangel of Thune, Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Sunscorch Regent, Forgotten Ancient (possibly), and (possibly) Vigor, and, for cards that allow me to use those counters as payment for other effects, I am considering Fertilid, Mindless Automaton, (possibly) Ooze Flux.

Notice how many of those cards have synergy and overlap, allowing me to pursue three themes in a single deck, and I also plan to have a number of generically good cards that I use in many of my decks, such as True Conviction, Mirari's Wake, Seedborn Muse, or Sigarda, Font of Blessings, as well as several cards that I have not used in any of my previous decks, thus far, such as Hydra Broodmaster, Pledge of Loyalty, Camaraderie, Commander's Plate, Behemoth Sledge, Shield of the Oversoul, or Veteran Beastrider. I also am considering putting either Valkyrie Harbinger or Kalonian Hydra into this deck, but I do not wish for this deck to be too similar to any of my other decks, so I would prefer to avoid putting those cards into this deck, if I can avoid doing so, and I also am not yet certain about Doubling Season, staff of completion, or Selvala, Explorer Returned, since those cards would be awesome in this deck, but I do not wish to use them in every deck in which they would be a good addition.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you think that this is an interesting idea, and what suggestions can you make, for me? Thank you, very much, and I certainly am awaiting everyone’s responses!

Blinking scarecrows is good, especially if you blink all of them at once. Eerie Interlude etc.

Mirror of Life Trapping makes all scarecrows enter the battlefield twice.

Clout of the Dominus or Pledge of Loyalty is cheap protection for the King. Spirit of Resistance is nice if the King is on the board.

If your playing against a lot of interaction, then I would also include cards like Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Conqueror's Flail, and Pledge of Loyalty to protect your commander.

Thieves' Auction is hilarious with a board full of scarecrows. If opponents don't choose your scarecrows then you can take them and destroy whatever they did choose.

Spirit of Resistance and Pledge of Loyalty are fun with a 5 color boss.

Changeling Berserker doubles up ETB triggers if you can blink him. Even if he dies you get the trigger for the championed creature coming back to the board. If nothing else you can exchange opponents with opponents to bust up combos.

If you can't blink things then Cultural Exchange would let you trade itty-bitty scarecrows for any creature on the board. It Targets a player not the creature so you can ignore Shroud or Protection.

Pledge of Loyalty maybe.

All the shapeshifters are scarecrows. Mimic Vat has been reprinted a dozen times now, it can make scarecrows on anybody's turn.

You have no Sorcery or Instants? Dense Foliage only screws other people while you can still kill things with scarecrows.

Earnest Fellowship screws others and your deck laughs right now. Pledge of Loyalty protects your boss, Spirit of Resistance is hilarious.

Your scarecrows are punks after the initial etb. Maybe cards like Switcheroo?

You need to protect the King. Clout of the Dominus, Aspect of Mongoose, Pledge of Loyalty or boots/greaves.

Blessing of the Nephilim and Spirit of Resistance are fun in 5 color decks

Cloudstone Curio allows you to cycle your scarecrows for more destruction. But its kinda pricey right now.

Jodah's Avenger is a shapeshifter but does NOT count as a scarecrow.

If you give everything away Ward of Bones means you are the only one capable of actually playing cards.

Maybe Switcheroo or Cultural Exchange (which does not target creatures, it targets players and you don't even have to trade your own if you want chaos).

Rite of the Raging Storm

Reins of Power and Illusionist's Gambit might not be directly "giving" somebody something but maybe after all those gift they owe you something... I especially like trading creatures with Player A and then using them to attack Player B.

A weird alternative to Pledge of Loyalty is Earnest Fellowship. It completely screws with decks that use buff on their own creatures with enchantments, creature abilities and instants.
