Daretti Precon Upgrades
Deck Help forum
Posted on July 8, 2018, 5:50 p.m. by BabyK
A friend of mine is looking to upgrade his straight out of the box daretti precon, but isn't sure how to proceed. Any card suggestions to make the deck better? As is, it's incredibly clunky and does nothing all game.

What is their budget for upgrades? And also how competitive is your meta? Knowing those answers will help me better answer your question.

Budget isn't a big problem because he'll be working on it over time as his main deck. Looking to spend $30 or less in the first batch of upgrades just to DO something in our games.
Other than myself, the meta is extremely casual. The strongest decks of theirs are a slow Slimefoot and precon Edgar Markov. My decks change weekly to fit their power levels.

For around the $30 mark you should certainly be able to get the following cards: Duplicant, Thopter Assembly, Kuldotha Forgemaster, Platinum Angel, Metalwork Colossus, Darksteel Colossus, Colossus of Akros, Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient, Blinkmoth Urn, Pia's Revolution, Buried Ruin, Inventors' Fair, Hellkite Tyrant, Nevinyrral's Disk, Jhoira's Familiar, Foundry Inspector, Thran Temporal Gateway, Copper Gnomes and Unwinding Clock.
I have seen all of these guys do a lot of work for a Daretti deck and all of them are relavtively affordable for this first batch. I did the math and it is around the $30 for all of the above cards on TCGPlayer.
For future upgrades though I will recommend cards like: Rings of Brighthearth, Blightsteel Colossus, Darksteel Forge, Mycosynth Lattice, Platinum Emperion, Vedalken Orrery, Metalworker, Krark-Clan Ironworks Mindslaver, Karn, Scion of Urza and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
Hopefully that helps out!

All great suggestions, thank you. He definitely wants mindslaver and darksteel forge. His issue seems to be consistent win cons.

If you have a little bit of money to throw around, cards like Krark-Clan Ironworks or Darksteel Forge might help for the artifact theme. Squee, Goblin Nabob also synergizes well with Daretti's +2. Also with Daretti comes the proliferate, like Contagion Clasp and Contagion Engine. Unwinding Clock also lets you do more on your turn, and Vedalken Orrery also aligns with it. If you have a lot of money, Mana Crypt is an auto include to help get Daretti out faster, and Rings of Brighthearth helps speed him up significantly. Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient also works amazingly, and can actually be substituted sometimes for the commander.
Hope this helped!
