Saljen on Kotis Plays Your Deck

@SufferFromEDHD Most of the things that I'm going to counter are either targeted exile (path/swords, etc.) or board wipes that exile or apply -1/1 counters or sacrifice, or wipes for artifacts/enchantments. Hinder would just make them have to cast that counter worthy spell twice, or let me cast it which doesn't make sense if it's a wipe that'd kill my commander or my auras/equipment. Memory Lapse is interesting, but I'd probably not use it over Arcane Denial for the same reasons. I'd have a tough time finding a card to pull out for Wall of Denial, though it's another one I haven't seen before and is interesting.

DemonDragonJ on Should I Put the New …

I would like to put Elsha, Threefold Master into my Numot, the Devastator EDH deck, but I am not certain which creature I should remove, to make room, for her; Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is very expensive, but she is one of my favorite creatures in the game, and she has great synergy with numerous other cards in this deck, including both version of Aurelia: Aurelia, the Warleader, and Aurelia, the Law Above. Medomai the Ageless is not the most powerful of creatures, but I always enjoy being able to take additional turns, and I can take even more, if I combine him with either True Conviction and/or the aforementioned Aurelia. Wall of Denial is merely a blocker, but it is an amazingly excellent one, so I would like to keep it, in that deck, as well, and Esper Sentinel is not essential to this deck's identity or strategy, but I would prefer to avoid raising its mana curve, if I can help it. I feel that I may not need to keep either Iroas, God of Victory *list* or Keranos, God of Storms in this deck, since reaching seven devotion to two colors is not always easy to achieve in a three-colored deck, and, between those two creatures, I believe that Keranos is the least essential to the deck, since the deck originally did not have a very strong central them, but it gradually has evolved to have a focus on combat, so Iroas is more essential to the deck's theme and strategy than is Keranos.

What does everyone else here say, about this? Should I put the new Elsha into my Numot deck, and, if so, what card should I remove to make room, for her? I certainly am eager to receive your feedback!

I have replaced Wall of Denial with Zameck Guildmage, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.65 to 3.63, and also helped to improve the deck's color balance, since, as great as the wall was, the guildmage is a better match for the theme of this deck; I had also considered replacing the wall with Shapers of Nature, but they are more expensive than is the guildmage, or Simic Ascendancy, but this deck does not have quite a sufficiently strong emphasis on +1/+1 counters to justify putting that card into it.

Azeure To be honest there is plenty of redundancy that we don't play:

• Assault Formation
• Walking Bulwark
• Bedrock Tortoise
• Rolling Stones
• Huatli, the Sun's Heart

The only one worth running for me is High Alert because it does both "every creatures with defender may attack" and "they assign combat damage equal to their toughness" for every creatures without having to pay mana to apply the effect.

The second best one for me is Assault Formation but i still cuted it. Bedrock Tortoise is almost playable, if either the hexproof was not conditionnal to your turn or if it's mana value was 3 instead of 4.

For 3 mana we usually have 0/7 defender without abilities Glacial Wall / Wall of Ice or 0/6 with abilities Hover Barrier ( i don't take into account the 2 very good 3 mana drop that are Wall of Denial / Weathered Sentinels).

So now let's review Plagon, Lord of the Beach, Plagon is only a 0/3, don't deal damage equal to it's toughness without paying 1 extra mana each time, it's doesn't draw us a card with Arcades and it's ability only fufill one of the 2 needed condition for redundancy as explained above. I agree it could draw us lot of cards, ranging from 2 to 5-6. If we didn't had draw engine in the command zone i would say it worth it, bu since we have one i don't thinks it's necessary.

It's already very hard to find room for each new creatures cards, i'm already having hard time finding room for Crystal Barricade and consider removing Brave the Sands from my deck. A 3 mana creature has to be really really good to make the cut in Arcades now, and i don't speak about 4 mana creatures. I'm still on fence regarding Corrupted Shapeshifter since the only 4 mana creatures i play are Arcades, Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa and Tree of Redemption, and i wonder if i would not rather include Towering Titan instead as another wincon.

Smoke needs to be added asap. Other ways to protect your walkers like Crawlspace, Silent Arbiter, Baird, Steward of Argive, Archon of Absolution, Archangel of Tithes, Peacekeeper, Pramikon, Sky Rampart (Spark Double can copy this guy naming opposite directions so noone can attack), or even Wall of Denial will serve you well here.

Reyav, Master Smith, Vryn Wingmare, Wall of Denial, Gaea's Revenge, Hurkyl's Recall, Phyrexian Colossus, Shared Fate, Unmask, Eidolon of the Great Revel, Catastrophe, Kalamax, the Stormsire. Are all missing "The List" alteration. The linked printings are all the correct printings.

Thanks for the suggestions kamarupa!

I did actually consider Orator of Ojutai over Wall of Omens, but I figured the guaranteed extra card was better than having a flyer. However, given how often I tend to have Arcades, the Strategist in play or at least in my hand, it's worth at least adding him into the sideboard. Speaking of sideboards, Slaughter the Strong is definitely going in there too!

I also considered running Eladamri's Call but decided it was a little too expensive to run and I didn't really want to take out anything to replace it with.

I'm still on the fence about whether I want to add Wall of Denial or not. It is a really good card with amazing stats, but I wanted to keep every creature in the deck 2 CMC and under, except for Arcades and Axebane Guardian because of how vital they are to the deck. But maybe I'll add Wall of Denial in the future after some more real world playtesting.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

You could always give Wall of Denial a try over Hover Barrier?

I think I would experiment with some ratio of Narset, Parter of Veils and Howling Mine... can really help dig through your own deck/toolbox while shutting down your opponents draw power.
