KBK7101 on FELDON EDH PRIMER: FELDON NEEDS SOME LOVE

3 months ago

Love Feldon! One of the best cards of all time, design-wise. Definitely an all-time favorite of mine. Your deck was definitely an inspiration in me building my own deck. Every time I visit this page I find something new that's super useful. Like, how have I never thought of adding Sandstone Oracle or Ancient Stone Idol??

phepa on Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood stack …

1 year ago

Hi, i have Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood on board and i want to use her ability to cast Sandstone Oracle . Can i do it like the Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood 's ability go on the stack first then Sandstone Oracle , so i will draw to opponent hand size + 1 card from Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood ability ?

Or casting Sandstone Oracle with that green mana somehow "trigger" 2nd part of that activated ability, so Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood 's ability go on the stack after i put Sandstone Oracle on the stack?

Thank you

Significant improvements with some old cards and some new cards

• Bloodgift Demon -> Sandstone Oracle
• Syphon Mind -> Knollspine Dragon
• Demonlord Belzenlok -> Valakut Awakening  ^Flip
• Cathartic Reunion -> Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire
• Magmatic Insight -> Nullpriest of Oblivion
• Tormenting Voice -> Burning-Rune Demon
• Maga, Traitor to Mortals -> Deflecting Swat
• Sword of Feast and Famine -> Hypnotic Specter
• Swiftfoot Boots -> Abrade
• Mind Twist -> Myojin of Night's Reach
• Geode Golem -> Tibalt's Trickery
• Command Beacon -> Mountain
• Swamp -> Mountain
• Swamp -> Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip

Overall, the changes are a reduction of rummaging in favor of tutors and enablers, switching around the protection to instant-speed responses, and addition of Myojin of Night's Reach , which is a wincon.

Strangelove on All-Form One, One-Form All [Orvar Goodstuff]

+1 Snake_Oil!

Here's my WIP build, Orvar Clones!

Aside from the body and tempo, cards like Merfolk Wayfinder, Augur of Bolas, Triton Fortune Hunter don't seem that useful to me as clone targets. I went for Wavebreak Hippocamp and fat-draw sphinxes like Sandstone Oracle.

Coveted Jewel and Parallel Thoughts are MVP.

Just a reminder, Snap, etc. don't clone lands (you the player chooses them, so they're not spells that "target") ...They're still good tho.

Have you considered Torrential Gearhulk or Scholar of the Lost Trove? I'm avoiding infinites, so flooding these as bodies really appeals to me.

I would also cut: Erratic Portal, Lux Cannon, God-Pharaoh's Gift, Planar Bridge, and Titan's Presence as a start. Those are all pretty overcosted for what they're able to do in your deck.

Second, are you focusing on a Voltron-style Commander damage win with Kozilek? I can tell you it doesn't happen very often since he's actually quite vulnerable to removal. I also started with a build that had a lot of unblockable effects, but it turns out that Kozilek isn't the best attacker compared to your other Eldrazi. I'd focus more on using Kozilek for card advantage and digging for your other Eldrazi to win the game.

To that end, I'd take out Trailblazer's Boots and Fireshrieker.

Finally, a few upgrades to consider: Manifold Key is strictly better than Voltaic Key. Platinum Angel and Platinum Emperion are both super helpful and more impactful than Reality Smasher and Sandstone Oracle. Doubling Cube is pretty fun ramp and probably better than Gilded Lotus. Commander's Plate is going to be much better than Whispersilk Cloak, though it's decently expensive rn.

Here's my list that I've been running for a few years, if you want more ideas: Kozi Kozi Commander (Colorless Eldrazi EDH)

Have fun, it's a super fun deck to play with!
