Flying, vigilance
: Choose a creature card at random from target opponent's graveyard. Put that card onto the battlefield under your control.

DemonDragonJ I really like the combo potential of High Market and Tariel, Reckoner of Souls. And it's a lot easier on the mana. Try it out for sure!
Reliquary Tower is usually a good choice for decks with a lot of card draw and interaction, good options all around. Let us know how the playtesting goes.
DemonDragonJ on Does Vault of the Archangel …
4 months ago
I have copies of Vault of the Archangel in several of my EDH decks, and that cards makes sense in my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck, but I am less certain if it works with the themes of my Sen Triplets or Tariel, Reckoner of Souls decks.
What does everyone else say, about this subject? Does Vault of the Archangel make sense in my Sen Triplets or Tariel decks, or should I replace it?
DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Perforating …
7 months ago
I absolutely shall put Perforating Artist into my EDH decks that contain the colors black and red, but I am not certain what cards I should remove to make room for it.
In my Kresh the Bloodbraided deck, already replaced Decimate with the artist, so that is very good.
In my Thraximundar deck, I was first contemplating removing Exsanguinate, since that cards does not contribute to the theme of the deck, but it is still an excellent card, so I am now instead contemplating removing Slave of Bolas, since that card does contribute to the theme of the deck, but is very expensive for a one-shot effect.
As for my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls deck, I am having difficulty finding a card that I can remove, since nearly every card in that deck already contributes very strongly to its theme, so I may not be able to put Perforating Artist in that deck, unfortunately.
What does everyone else say about this? How can I put Perforating Artist into my EDH decks that contain the colors black and red? I certainly would appreciate any suggestions that anyone here has to offer.

I miss the way they did precons. In the original precons, all the psychographs were represented. (Johnny would have a field day with all but the Mardu deck.) Here's how they stacked up:
Kaalia of the Vast Timmy and Spike
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls Timmy
Basandra, Battle Seraph Spike
Riku of Two Reflections Timmy and Johnny
Animar, Soul of Elements Timmy and Spike
Edric, Spymaster of Trest Spike
Ghave, Guru of Spores All three (Johnny likes the "combos with anything" nature of Ghave; Spike likes the sac outlet and the fact that you can use any +1/+1 counter for Ghave's abilities; Timmy likes an army of mushroom people.)
Karador, Ghost Chieftain Spike
Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter Spike
Zedruu the Greathearted *f-etch* Johnny
Ruhan of the Fomori Spike
Nin, the Pain Artist Johnny and Spike
The Mimeoplasm Johnny and Spike
Damia, Sage of Stone Spike
Skullbriar, the Walking Grave Timmy and Spike
Not that it was all Timmy and Johnny; the first precons did include a reprint of Skullclamp after all.
Look at the last precons? All eight of the new legends were designed for Spike. Where's the room for creativity on the part of players?
I admit that some of the changes to EDH have been fine. (I joke that nobody used instants before 2014. Which is somewhat true, people were more concerned with card advantage with their answers than they were with actual, you know, answers.) But I would like some legends to be designed for Johnny or Timmy.
DemonDragonJ on Fire Covenant or Reckless Assault?
9 months ago
I have a copy of Fire Covenant in my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls EDH deck, as that deck can afford to pay the life that that spells requires, but I am considering replacing that card with Reckless Assault, since I feel that the enchantment is overall a superior card; it does require a greater investment of both life and mana, but that fact that it can target anything and can be used repeatedly makes it worth that higher cost, in my mind.
What does everyone else say about this subject? Should I replace Fire Covenant with Reckless Assault? I certainly am eager to receive your responses.
DemonDragonJ on Treasury Thrull or Carmen, Cruel …
1 year ago
I have a copy of Treasury Thrull in both my Tariel, Reckoner of Souls and Teneb, the Harvester EDH decks, as sacrificing and reanimating creatures is one of the central themes in each of those decks, but I am considering replacing that card with Carmen, cruel skymarcher, since she has a lower mana cost and also is overall more versatile; it is true that the cards that she can return are limited by her power, but I am confident that I shall be able to make her sufficiently power to return any cards in my deck, and she also returns them directly to the battlefield, rather than my hand, which is very nice.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Treasury Thrull with Carmen, cruel skymarcher?
legendofa on BBEG Deck Ideas
1 year ago
For my breakdown here, I'm focusing on characters who are villains in their story arc and characters who don't have much specific backstory. Pretty much any legendary creature can be flavored as a villain in front of the right deck. I'm also not focusing on the Forgotten Realms sets, I'm broadening the net.
What's available:
: Eldrazi or artifacts. Most of the artifacts are either hero-aligned or not an independent threat, like Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut. If you want a challenge, Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate, but I wouldn't, just for lack of depth.
: Villains are oddly centered on Old Kamigawa. Konda, Lord of Eiganjo is a near-immortal emperor and master duelist. Hokori, Dust Drinker is destroying resources and the land. And, of course, there's the apocalyptic, unrelenting evil that is Hazduhr the Abbot.
: Heidar, Rimewind Master is an elementalist fanatic. The manipulations of Orvar, the All-Form or Kami of the Crescent Moon could cause problems, as could a big sea creature like Tromokratis or Charix, the Raging Isle.
: Pretty much everyone. It's easier to count the people who aren't outright villains.
: Relatively few actual villains, but a bunch of manipulators, dragons, and angry people that could fill the role.
: A bunch of wild animals and nature types. No scheming villains, but a good selection of rampaging monsters. Meng Huo, Barbarian King would be a unique choice (if you're willing to.proxy or drop $150+).
: Polukranos Reborn Flip is the most (only?) villainous character in these colors.
: Lots of options, from the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Lazav, Dimir Mastermind to the illithid Captain N'ghathrod, Gisa and Geralf's necromancer army, whatever Umbris, Fear Manifest is, and a lot more.
: A few options, but lots of depth in them. Insane biologist Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and his magnum opus Experiment Kraj, nature's avenger Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, or maybe Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is flooding the area.
: A very deep and wide pool for villains. Vampires, demons, dragons, demon dragons, warlords, torturers...
: Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager joins the ranks of the big scary monsters. A more calculating BBEG would probably be one of the death lords like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Vhati il-Dal or Old Rutstein or probably more storyline villains than BBEG material.
: A very shallow pool. Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl, Rubinia Soulsinger, and maybe Falco Spara, Pactweaver or Katilda and Lier (mostly because of Lier) are the best options for an Archenemy villain. I'd throw Kros, Defense Contractor in, but goading is kind of limited when you're the Archenemy.
: This color set will probably be either a cold, distant, merciless villain or a manipulative puppet master. Raffine, Scheming Seer and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic fall into the first category, and Sen Triplets and The Ever-Changing 'Dane in the second. Varina, Lich Queen is another option for a zombie army.
: Big, angry, and violent, with some good dragons. Xira, the Golden Sting and Vazi, Keen Negotiator break out of this mold, but they strike me as more lieutenant-types, not arc villains by themselves.
: Not much; these tend to be either heroic or big smashy monsters. Uril, the Miststalker could work.
: Queen Marchesa is a classic, as you mentioned, and Edgar Markov is right there, too. Actually, this color set has some good depth and variety for an Archenemy. Some are more overtly villainous, and some are just very martial. My top picks would be Edgar, Licia, Sanguine Tribune, or Tariel, Reckoner of Souls.
: Mostly either weird esotericism or "nature's avenger" types. I don't think any of these are outright villainous in-story, but most of them have loose or vague stories. With the right deck, this could be a unique and interesting villain. Riku of Two Reflections is my top pick.
Four-color sets in general: Any of them would work, except for a couple of the .
: Use this color set if you want a truly apocalyptic feel. saluma mentioned Tiamat, which is a very good choice, and finding a way to get through Progenitus or O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami is a story of epic scale.
Kingtao on Cheap cards for Kaalia
1 year ago
Hi,
Playing Kaalia can become very expensive very quickly, I try and make the best of her ability with cheap but high drop like Aegis Angel , Tariel, Reckoner of Souls, Starnheim Aspirant.
even if it isn't optimal, mine run mostly as an angel tribal, feel free to take a look if it can be of any help Kaalia of the poor
