Another subtler, maybe more subjective point is that it seems to be a reasonably common and achievable self-providing payoff. Life gain, sacrificing, and milling are all reasonably common actions that are easy to build around. I personally wouldn't call Zedruu the Greathearted or Rafiq of the Many as much of a thing-doer, because donating permanents and solo attacking are much more niche. Is that just me?

Thank you for the tips DreadKhan.
The Demon of Dark Schemes sounds pretty dope TBH. Even if my little tokens don't have enough +1/+1 counters for whatever reason and die they at least boost the charges so the Demon can start ressing right away next turn. But on the other hand feels a little situational and roundabout. I will have to sit on that one for a bit I guess.

The Mitotic Slime on the other hand really caught my attention. I will totally add it in possibilities in maybeboard for sure. Continuous branching token creation sounds like a good match.

The Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose could be fun with Progenitus as far as I know Progenitus cannot be target of anything but Vito's activated ability is an area effect and not target so should be possible to make unblockable 10/10 lifelink with the double damage from Vito's passive. Combine that with Rafiq of the Many or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and you got another one hit KO. But VERY unprobable one. Sounds good enough. HOWEVER, my secondary deck that I have in private is leftovers from this deck and it has stuff like Heroes Remembered,Souls of the Faultless,Agent of Masks and couple of lifelink creatures on its own. So I can reaaaally see Vito in the second deck for sure!

The Legacy Weapon seems simple and effective and fitting well into my deck so I will add that one for sure!


I really think I have more than enough cards in the side and maybe already so now I need some counsel on what is completelly useless in those tabs and could be removed to tidy it up a bit. Obviously if there is still a card that is MUST HAVE and I do not have it listed I would like to see it. And then some help what cards are the most useless and could be replaced in the deck itself to make space for the new ones. Especially the 2 new tutors I have on the side now. Because those would help substantially if I have a 1 half of an one shot combo in the hand and need to fetch the other key part.

Maybe look at Rafiq of the Many on edh.rec

That should help you find good cards to use.

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

May 18

Marton Stromgald attacks Lost, missed land drops, sputtered, still Archenemy, killed by Alan's Rafiq'ed flyer. Rafiq of the Many closed it out via Cyclonic Rift 8-7 .533 Alan said that was his Rafiq of the Many tribal exalted deck's first victory. And, he has played many games with it.

nuperokaso Thanks for your comment. 1. I'll cut the borderposts and include Druid of the Anima and Arcane Sanctum soon.

  1. Elspeth, Knight-Errant always seemed to be too slow. But maybe i'll give it a try and cut 1 Rafiq of the Many and 1 Battlegrace Angel.

  2. I oftend use Call to Heel to protect one of my dudes from mass removal, but maybe a direct Cancel is a better option.

  3. Year, the lack of draw is one of the biggest problems of the deck. Sages of the Anima or Soul's Majesty are two slow. Maybe Vedalken Heretic can solve it?

I also think about Wall of Reverence or Jhessian Infiltrator.

For Kaladesh, I don't really see it as "Indian/South Asian world." It's more like "inventor world" with a South Asian veneer. For Alara, Bant used Arabic and Middle Eastern theming and linguistics for major characters (Rafiq of the Many, Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer, Asha (who doesn't get a card)), and Naya had a Mesoamerican linguistic theme (Matca Rioters, Nacatl Outlander, Winged Coatl). They are not especially representative of Arabic or Mesoamerican culture. I see Kaladesh as an expanded version of that: the South Asian theme isn't a key part of the world, it's simply how it's presented. You could have an inventor world themed after the central Mediterranean (Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, Allesandro Volta) and a heavily South Asian-inspired world, pulling from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and assorted sutras (although that gets into the concerns of real-world religious texts). I've also never directly talked to anyone from South Asia about it, so my insight isn't especially deep.

As for guns, Alaborn Zealot's got a pretty nice one, and Vengeance goes into the flavor text, but maybe Portal 2 isn't the best precedent.

Like the idea, have you looked at any "if this creature attacks alone" type abilities like Rafiq of the Many, Sigil of Valor, or Security Bypass?
