I think Bedevil is a better card. Instant speed is good, too.

Isochron Scepter is not what I consider cheap.

I love the flavor of that deck, vasarto77. I hope my comment is useful.

Here's my latest brainchild:

It's sitting at 105 cards right now, and I've yet to start piecing it together, but hope to start with what I have on hand this weekend. Everyone's first suggestion will be Crucible of Worlds , but it's out of budget, and I'm building without it. Any and all other advise on any gems I've overlooked are appreciated! And upvotes, too!

Haunted Crossroads is a card I find to be terribly useful in a lot of decks, and I think it still offers great flavor for your deck.

Also, I know this is a banned card, but perhaps your playgroup would let you get away with running Recurring Nightmare ? ....For flavor reasons, of course...

I like that combo, Charley007. I just wonder if it's worth running a slot for Naru in the deck. I will keep it under consideration.

I'm guessing the way it works is that you cast Ghostly Flicker first, then with it on the stack you cast Naru, copying Ghostly Flicker ?

You should probably win by pounding opponents. I don't think I'd run those listed above.

Like it. Some more good fodder critters are Blood Pet and Blood Vassal to go along with Cathodion .

Jhoira's Familiar is ramp, so I'd keep. I doubt Trostrani's effect will be that useful all the time.

What I like about Force is getting saprolings on each person's turn. It can stack up fast.

I understand that. Have you considered Tendershoot Dryad or Verdant Force ? Both are consistent token generators, and Verdant Embrace turns any other creature into a token generator.

Can you find room for the Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond combo?

I'm going to start piecing this together soon. There are some of the cards I don't have and will need to get, and some that I'll want but will have to wait on. I'm not sure if I have another copy of Overburden lying around or not...boy, has that card gone up in price. It could use a reprint....so could Caged Sun .

I agree that you should cut Defense of the Heart and Tooth and Nail . I tend to run 37 lands, too, but that's just me.

I think I'd cut Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and keep Utter End . And if I had to cut one, I think it would be Day of Destiny . I think Heroes' Podium does a little more for you...but, you could probably cut both. I honestly think you could do without Sensei's Divining Top , too.

Also, I'd switch out Phyrexian Arena for Guardian Project . Oh, and I made a mistake on Planar Portal ; I meant Planar Bridge (it's legendary itself).

Cut Zacama and Crucible of Worlds .

What non-basics do you recommend? I really need the Islands for the most part, and have a limited budget.

Thanks, SufferFromEDHD. I like your list. I've been on the fence about adding in Storm Cauldron . It offers the extra land drop, but at a cost, which the deck can probably overcome, but I've just been unsure. I'll probably add it. Same thoughts on Overburden and Mana Breach .

You do have some cards I was not aware of in your build, which I like. Thanks for the ideas!

Yes, tokens still trigger LTB effects, death effects, and put into the graveyard effects. Once they hit another zone, then they are exiled.

Do you think you need to run Staff of Domination , Sword of the Paruns , and Bloom Tender to make this deck viable? Each of those cost 3 to untap your commander. Once you add in those cards to try to go infinite, I think you end up going down a pretty convoluted path that is going to lock you into running a certain package of cards in order to get to your wincon.

You've got those three cards, and now you probably need some tutors to get to them, so that's probably around 3 more you'll run there. If that's how you want to play it, and run the $50 mana dork in order to do it, then that's fine. Just realize what you are seemingly locking yourself into.

Have you thought about giving Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale a go as a Knight Tribal commander, and upping the amount of equipment in the deck? The brawl deck seems really aggressive, and expanding that into EDH would be good, too.

How does Ezuri, Claw of Progress work with the counters? If you put counters on a face-down creature, then morph it, do the counters stay?
