NoNeedToBragoBoutIt on Old, Hidden Gems in EDH

6 years ago

Aftershock - Oh, so flexible. Puzzles me how this is not a mono- staple.

Rack and Ruin - Same goes for this card. With the amount of Artifacts in the game this will never be a dead card.

Dust to Dust - What can i say? I just love the cycle.

Peace and Quiet - A little more conditional as the artifact iterations, yet still super cheap for its effect.

Ashes to Ashes - Doesn't hit Artifact Creatures, other than that: brutal.

Wicked Pact - Not as great as the above card, but i've seen it do great things as a filler card in new brews.

Repopulate - Instant speed gy hate for decks that don't have access to , don't want to loose the element of surprise by running artifact solutions. Plus, it has cycling. Love it!

Bubbling Muck - Sorcery speed High Tide for mono- decks or decks that can get Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth on the board reliably.

Dauthi Embrace - Unblockable^2 plus insane political potential!

Soothsaying - Might not be a hidden gem exactly, still an awesome mana sync.

Erratic Portal - With so many people joking about EDH basically being ETB by now, this is easily abusable and somewhat political at times, too.

Deglamer/Unravel the Aether - Not as old as the above, yet heavily underplayed, as they can deal with the original gods and so many other things like Darksteel Forge. Total pet cards of mine!

Sudden Death - An instant speed creature removal that ignores indestuctible, get's rid of the vast majority or creatures in the format and hoses Breya, Etherium Shaper before activation. Just look at it!

Here are my recommended kill spells for a budget Alesha build:

Hero's Downfall
Terminate
Unmake
Dismember
Aura Blast / Hide/Seek (One or both)
Mortify
Murderous Cut
Swords to Plowshares
Vandalblast / Rack and Ruin / Rakdos Charm (Mardu Charm if there are goblin players near you, otherwise Rack and Ruin or Vandalbalst)

Also since mardu's best strategy is playing cheap cads, and many other combos need lots of mana to work (especially comapred to how little your cards cost) I recommend:

Akki Blizzard-Herder + Goblin Bombardment
Razia's Purification
