Quest for the Holy Relic

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a creature spell, you may put a quest counter on Quest for the Holy Relic.

Remove five quest counters from Quest for the Holy Relic and sacrifice it: Search your library for an Equipment card, put it onto the battlefield, and attach it to a creature you control. Then shuffle your library.

Thoughts on these, Quest for the Holy Relic decent cheap equipment find, Magnetic Theft this is good for various reasons, for example you can use it on Helm of the Host and get copies of an opponents creature and other things. Trailblazer's Boots one of my favorite equipment. Here some card draw just incase you need more Phyrexian Arena if you can handle the life loss. Some artifact retrieval Remember the Fallen, Ritual of Restoration, Recommission. Hope some of these help!

A loooong time ago I had a deck that utilised Squadron Hawk to ramp up counters on Quest for the Holy Relic. The wincon was then to use that Relic to slap Worldslayer on one of the birds, and with the help of something like Selfless Spirit, keep my own creatures alive while wiping everything else, and edge out a win through a few turns of combat damage before the opponent can find lands and rebuild a board.

That deck also had the old infinite mana combo with Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies, with Duskwatch Recruiter  Flip then acting as a solid game piece to further both potential wincons. The deck would often go infinite and win on turn 3, or else worldslay everything turn 4.

Saying all this, the meta has shifted considerably since I was running this deck, and i’m not sure such a combo brew would be viable in such a high-interaction meta these days. But I can say that, at the time, Squadron Hawk was great for all of fueling the combo, buying me time with expendable blockers, and thinning the deck in a way that felt meaningful.

Hey nice deck! The way i see it you can focus more one one direction of this deck and use the other for support: either auras or equipment. Aura Focus: Add: Archon of Sun's Grace Ashiok's Erasure Boon Satyr Copy Enchantment Curiosity Darksteel Mutation Dissipation Field Hydra's Growth Gift of Paradise Hypnotic Siren Ichthyomorphosis Idyllic Tutor Kenrith's Transformation Plea for Guidance Psychic Impetus Unflinching Courage

Remove: Masterwork of Ingenuity Puresteel Paladin Explorer's Scope Indomitable Archangel Catti-brie of Mithral Hall Resolute Archangel Valiant Endeavor Serum Visions Brainstorm Angelic Gift Unsettled Mariner Cold-Eyed Selkie Military Intelligence

Equipment Focus: Add: Balan, Wandering Knight Behemoth Sledge Belt of Giant Strength Golem-Skin Gauntlets Kemba, Kha Regent Mask of Memory Mirrormade Paradise Mantle Prying Blade Quest for the Holy Relic Whispersilk Cloak

Remove: Resolute Archangel Ajani's Chosen Valiant Endeavor Gryff's Boon Angelic Gift Unsettled Mariner Military Intelligence Cold-Eyed Selkie Serum Visions Brainstorm Explorer's Scope Indomitable Archangel

And if you dont want to focus on one this would be a more Varied apporach incorporating a little from both Both Focus: Add: Fleecemane Lion Geist of Saint Traft Kiora's Follower Mirrormade Spirit Mantle Staggering Insight Utopia Sprawl Curiosity Beast Within Archon of Sun's Grace Curiosity Darksteel Mutation Dissipation Field Idyllic Tutor Unflinching Courage Behemoth Sledge Kemba, Kha Regent Mirrormade Quest for the Holy Relic Whispersilk Cloak Kenrith's Transformation

Awesome deck! A pet favourite of mine is Quest for the Holy Relic , particularly when playing with 0 cost artifact creatures. It can pop off by turn 2-3 and also open the door to a Kaldra Compleat if you wanted. People rarely see it coming and it's harder to remove than a stoneforge. Glint Hawk is there as well given the speed.

Quest for the Holy Relic (and so Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip) seems like a strange choice here. With only 16/60 cards being creatures, you're going to have to have drawn through about 1/3rd of your deck before you even come across the numbers to use the Quest. Even if you have a Puresteel Paladin out to help you draw cards, that feels really unlikely to do in a format as fast as modern.

The other card i'm concerned about is Sword of Vengeance - as you're only running 19 lands, it may take a long time to get enough mana to play it. It feels like there is probably better equipment than this that doesn't come with such a high cmc.

Notably, by ditching Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip and Sword of Vengeance , you'd be able to run Lurrus of the Dream-Den as a companion, giving you a lot more staying power if the game goes long.

The big issue I always had with worldslayer is that it costs too much to both play & equip. Imo this deck feels quite slow, and I think it can ruin lives a lot faster.

I know it’s a very different deck to what you have here, but the best way I found to abuse the card was to cheat it out with Quest for the Holy Relic - using stuff like Squadron Hawk to ensure i’d drop 5 creatures at a reasonable pace, and then things like Selfless Spirit to make sure the board wipe kept my creatures around (which can then just win through chip damage after the world is slain). Being a mostly flyer deck was often enough to ensure the worldslayer dealt its damage (especially because you can Quest at instant speed)

TIL that emojis aren't parsed properly by TappedOut even though they appear fine in the preview! Let's try again...

I've found this list really helpful whilst drafting decks over the last few years, thanks for putting it together! :) Judging by the 400,000 views that this has had I'm guessing I'm not the only person who feels that way :D

Since this list hasn't been updated since pre-WAR, I thought I'd put together a pretty comprehensive list of all tutors released since then (including all of the tutors mentioned in the comments above). Hopefully putting it in one place will make it easier to update! Note - as per the list you've curated, I've excluded any tutors that fetch specific cards (e.g. Yanling's Harbinger ) or basic lands. I've also left off the card types and colours since there's already enough text in the comment and it can be seen from the preview. Right - on with the list!

CARD: TUTOR FOR - ANY COMMENTS/SUGGESTED CATEGORIES

It wasn't entirely clear to me what categories the below cards should go under since they search for specific card subtypes:

Seeing as the three creators of this list haven't been on TappedOut in at least 8 months I'm guessing that this comment won't go anywhere, but at least it's all in one place for people to search for later. I'm happy to help maintain and update this list if I'm given access. (If I haven't heard back in a couple of months then I might look at creating a copy of this list and linking it here for anyone looking for an up-to-date list of tutors.)
