DemonDragonJ on Should I Put Orcish Bowmasters …

3 months ago

I am contemplating putting Orcish Bowmasters into my Nekusar, the Mindrazer EDH deck, since their ability will be awesome in that deck, but I am not certain what card I should remove to make room for them.

The most logical card to replace is Kederekt Parasite, since that card requires that I control a red permanent in order for its ability to trigger; the bowmasters do have a higher mana cost and also do not trigger of the first card that each opponent draws each turn, but, in exchange for that, the bowmasters can strike any target and they also amass an army, which could become massive, if the deck plays properly. Theoretically, I could also replace Underworld Dreams, since that card is not a creature, and doing so would also reduce my deck’s mana curve, which is always nice, although the high monetary cost of the bowmasters is also a factor to consider, as well.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I put Orcish Bowmasters into my Nekusar deck?

Yeah it feels like they added the templating that avoids making it a Chandra, Awakened Inferno emblem on legs and patted themselves on the back for their restraint. And this is coming from someone who usually complains about conservative card design.

Really, it could have just have been an Underworld Dreams on legs for two mana and it would have been fine.

I'm at work, so I can't do a thoroughly search for you, but I believe you might get inspiration from Nekusar, the Mindrazer decks. His most effective builds are Windfall-like cards plus Megrim/Underworld Dreams effects with Waste Not out.

Also, run all 2-cmc untapped ramp you can get your hands on: it'll make your deck run smoothly as butter. Azorius Signet, Orzhov Signet, Talisman of Progress, Talisman of Hierarchy, Fellwar Stone.

If you're interested, I can give you more comprehensive advice once I get home. Your build might benefit from some tweaks.

This is a good start, you have some really nice lifegain synergies going. It doesn't really seem like a card draw deck to me, though. It leans more towards the lifegain world of Aetherflux Reservoir than to the U/B world of card draw. There are a lot of black cards that exchange life for cards; if you want card draw, you should get a Graveborn Muse leave the Reservoir behind.

If you go the true lifegain route, you might add transmute effects for tutors, like Clutch of the Undercity or Dimir House Guard. And another good wincon could be Celestial Convergence + Solemnity. And Test of Endurance. Though those will require more counters/protection than you have right now.

I have learned from experience that strategies that ping your opponents for one or two life every turn get you killed very quickly, because they make you stand out even when you're doing very little. So things like Drana's Emissary are kinda dangerous.

In that same vein, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose will draw hate. It's Sanguine Bond on a stick, and when people see half of the Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood combo, they shoot it immediately.

One final bit of overarching advice -- since this is a 3-color deck, I suggest staying away from cards that require a lot of one kind of mana. Particularly lots of black mana, like Underworld Dreams or Peer into the Abyss, since this deck is heavily U/W right now.

Okay, now some slightly more nitpicky things about card choices:

• Since the Mages only seem to fetch mana rocks at this point, might you switch them out with myrs? Like Alloy Myr.

• I'd replace Folio of Fancies with Temple Bell, personally, because I like having to spend less mana per draw.

• Serra Avatar might be better than Celestial Force. But also I just really like Serra Avatar.

Again, this is quite good, just needs a bit of focusing towards the endgame. All the nitty-gritty of the mana curve and stuff you'll work out in playtesting, and what you have so far is workable.

notjinzo that is a good idea. I have a feeling it might be a little too expensive and too dependant on me having Sheoldred, the Apocalypse and Underworld Dreams on the board for it to really shine. It might be a little too slow but worth testing. Thank you!

Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted pairs well with Underworld Dreams and creature kill as well.

Have you considered Font of Agonies? It works as reusable creature kill.

Since you already have Syr Konrad, you may want to consider adding Mindcrank. You'd be surprised how many cards this 2-card combo can mill in creature heavy decks. Another 2-card combo you may want to consider is Peer into the Abyss and Underworld Dreams

Hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

Dark Deal is worth testing, I believe. Thank you!

Need to test how often Rule of Law keeps the opponents hand full. Master of the Feast was already suggested. Flumph fills his spot better, in my opinion.

I uncluded Sheoldred, the Apocalypse as soon as it was previewed while brewing this deck, because it just "has" to fit, you'd think. I'll not go into detail why it didn't, it was very suprising to me, but perhaps it does now. It goes into Underworld Dreams's spot, if so.
