Card draw in WBR?
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 16, 2015, 10:16 p.m. by ThisIsBullshit
I run a somewhat competitive Kaalia duel commander deck and I'm noticing a severe lack of card draw. I've got Griselbrand and Phyrexian Arena as the only consistent engines in my deck.
My question to you is: What other good card draw is there in Mardu colors?
Please don't suggest:
Necropotence: banned in Duel Commander
Dark Confidant or Dark Tutelage: the mana costs of my creatures are a bit much to be taking every turn
Deck is here for those who are interested.

Yeah, I know black has some good stuff but freakin necropotence got banned :'( and dank confidant doesn't really synergize with the rest of the deck lol

Night's Whisper is definitely the best one for cheap. Outpost Siege and its likeness Chandra, Pyromaster are also quite strong if more limited.
Is Yawgmoth's Bargain legal?

Maybe Sword of Fire and Ice? Already a strong card, but with your constant swings you should be able to net a few cards off of it.

I tried him, just wasn't good enough, I don't think I ever drew cards off him.

If you feel like running an additional non-demon/dragon/angel, Disciple of Bolas is really good.

Harvester of Souls, Greed, Any wheel effects like Reforge the Soul, Commune with Lava, etc.

Well, there's draw two for two life in the form of Sign in Blood and Night's Whisper. Ambition's Cost is similar (Ancient Craving is there too), as is Altar's Reap but it is a bit of a setback. Red has some card advantage in Outpost Siege, but that would defeat the purpose of Kaalia so it's likely not good. Aphotic Wisps could be interesting if you're trying to be more aggressive, and as such so is Crimson Wisps. Niveous Wisps is just a shitty cycle, but not worse than Bandage (maybe?). You're really in the wrong colors for good draw engines, haha.
