Storm Herald

Creature — Human Shaman

Haste

When Storm Herald enters the battlefield, return any number of Aura cards from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to creatures you control. Exile those Auras at the beginning of your next end step. If those Auras would leave the battlefield, exile them instead of putting them anywhere else.

Thank you for the suggestions KBK7101. As you might be able to tell, I've had an itch to build another mono-colored deck. I've had this Valduk list on back burner for the past few months, but am really tempted to go for it, especially with the new retro-frame border reprint from Dominaria Remastered.

You and I are on very similar wavelengths with some of the suggestions. I had Bravado and Storm Herald in the initial version of the deck, but recently swapped them out to try some other stuff. I think I swapped out Storm Herald because I was leaning a bit more towards equipment, and didn't think I had enough Auras. Will reconsider as I continue playtesting.

Shared Animosity is solid. I used to play in my short-lived Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer deck to hilarious effect. It's something I've also had on my mind as a potential damage buff in my Isshin deck.

Love Valduk! He was one of the first commanders I built and I love that he can easily be built on a very low budget.

Cards I highly recommend from my (admittedly fairly short experience):

• Bravado
• Golem-Skin Gauntlets

Some other ones that seem like they'd have potential:

• Mob Mentality
• Bloodfire Infusion
• Shared Animosity
• Storm Herald
• Escape Velocity

I’ve just seen you’ve splashed red -, in which case i can suggest Storm Herald over Academy Researchers. The Herald has haste which is pretty important for having a better chance of making contact, and can also get multiple of the Eldrazi Conscription attached at once. You will need ways to discard the Conscriptions though, so Izzet Charm will probably be useful if you go down that path

To make the flavour very Gruul, how about Rampage of the Clans ? This could beautifully be combined with Creeping Renaissance and/or Storm Herald if it somehow isn't enough.

I took a look at the deck, and I think the potency of the cards just isn't there. Facing competitive decks I feel this build (ensoul) works best to win fast, not with value late game, but you still need some sort of value to draw cards and keep going until you win the game or if you get dragged into late game by control or midrange.

Sram may be good to draw more cards but in your build the potency of the cards you draw aren't as good as in a normal ensoul deck. You should try testing him in a generic ensoul build and see how many draws you can get to see if he is good enough.

As for Emry/Lurrus both are great at recurring cards and keeping resources up by being able to play cards from the grave, but there is a lot of easy graveyard hate cards that simply turn off these abilities but out of either of them game 2 and 3 but I feel Emry is more consistent because if you run Lurrus in the side you need to waste a turn putting her in your hand then a turn casting her and you might be able to get value right away if she isn't killed afterwards. Emry has the same problem but can cost a lot less and is run in the main deck. I personally wouldn't run any of these are Emry/Lurrus can be shut down too early.

For value I found Hangarback Walker is amazing in a board stall and The Royal Scions are great at being cheap, can get through damage and draw cards with high loyalty so you don't need to worry about them dying the next turn even getting hit for 5 damage (in the mirror). I run 2 Hangarback Walker as it's just a 2 drop and I'd like to see 1 on occasion and I run 1 The Royal Scions as I really don't want to see them until I really go to late game and need an amazing topdeck. As for other value cards I told you I run Experimental Frenzy which is fun but I saw a funny deck running Storm Herald . Could be worth it to see how they work.

I want the next one to be out tommorrow. I'm planning on doing Storm Herald + Colossification

This deck isn't actually my idea. The point (at least, of my deck) is to cast a bunch of really aggressive card draw/cycling to get a Conscription in the yard (fairly easy given Goblin Lore, Burning Inquiry, and Cathartic Reunion all draw 3+ cards and the cycling on Street Wraith is practically free). After that you cast a Hollow One for probably free and a Storm Herald for 3 (this is not a great cost, I may add some Simian Spirit Guides to make it a little easier), bringing the Conscription back into play attached to the Hollow One or even Flameblade Adept if it's gotten big enough. Because of this it isn't actually that difficult to get an ideal hand; the only things necessary are a card draw piece and some type of way to hold off your opponent like a Bolt.

I might add some discard pieces and go into black a little, just because cards like Thoughtseize are so powerful, but I want to keep the deck budget and a big part of that is keeping the land base mono color.

Very nice synergy between Storm Herald and Eldrazi Conscription. Needs a rather god hand, but could be very hard to answer.

Great deck!
