Crow_Umbra on Why Do Soul Warden-Type Effects …

If I'm playing a non-rotating format like EDH, then I still have access to Soul Warden & the other sisters.

I won a game a couple weeks ago via making multiple copies of Guide of Souls over the course of the game & using Energy from creature ETBs to make thopters with Whirler Virtuoso, & created an "infinite" loop of life gain, & net Energy cultivation.

I think as long as you can ultimately be proactive with your own strategy, you should be fine.

def see if you can find space for a Gonti's Aether Heart, that with Whirler Virtuoso and Decoction Module are an infinite combo

If you’re choosing between black and red I would pick red because of Whirler Virtuoso . It was a house in standard. Harnessed Lightning is good as well.

Nice deck, always wanted to build an energy deck. My only thought might be to run Whirler Virtuoso over Electrostatic Pummeler. To me it seems like a better energy sink, but that might just be me.

I could try to put one more Decoction Module on the sideboard for a one more sweeper in MD... but I don't know. Deck felt great and fun, not broken, of course. At the moment I don't have problems finding Altar of the Brood. The combo with Whirler Virtuoso I never pulled off at all. For the energy payoffs, Harnessed Lightning functions as a payoff too, thats why I put that first in the list... But Aethergeode Miner is the last piece of the combo that I usually put on the battlefield, so it generate energy in the moment it entered the battlefield.

Maybe the deck could more be shifted into more of a control shell with the combo, utilizing cards like Ojutai's Command to play more of a late game if the combo doesn't work early, maybe this instead of the Whirler Virtuoso combo. Reflector Mage could also be strong instead of Harnessed Lightning in disrupting aggro strategies and not wasting precious energy, but I can't really tell becasue I haven't played the deck. Also, could Teferi, Time Raveler be good in the control snese and becasue he helps dig for the combo?

I_Want_To_PlayAllTheDecks, Silence and Leyline of Sanctity are good cards, indeed. Dispel could be good too... But we need to make room for then. Maybe the combo with Whirler Virtuoso is not that necessary, what saves us two cards. Leyline in the sideboard is a bit more complicated I think... More sweepers could be good in agressive metas, either Anger of the Gods os Supreme Verdict. Dovin's Veto is better, I agree.

Magus_of_the_Brothels definitely the creatures that benefit from tons of energy such as Whirler Virtuoso and Aetherwind Basker . Our games in our group are grindy enough for me to get quite a bit of energy even without dropping in some infinite combos. However I do like Overwhelming Stampede after I buffed a creature up. It feels pretty fair winning by smashing face with some big creatures.
