"Kamarupa (Sk.). Metaphysically, and in our esoteric philosophy, it is the subjective form created through the mental and physical desires and thoughts in connection with things of matter, by all sentient beings, a form which survives the death of their bodies. After that death three of the seven “principles”—or let us say planes of senses and consciousness on which the human instincts and ideation act in turn—viz., the body, its astral prototype and physical vitality,—being of no further use, remain on earth; the three higher principles, grouped into one, merge into the state of Devachan (q.v.), in which state the Higher Ego will remain until the hour for a new reincarnation arrives; and the eidolon of the ex-Personality is left alone in its new abode. Here, the pale copy of the man that was, vegetates for a period of time, the duration of which is variable and according to the element of materiality which is left in it, and which is determined by the past life of the defunct. Bereft as it is of its higher mind, spirit and physical senses, if left alone to its own senseless devices, it will gradually fade out and disintegrate. But, if forcibly drawn back into the terrestrial sphere whether by the passionate desires and appeals of the surviving friends or by regular necromantic practices—one of the most pernicious of which is medium- ship—the “spook” may prevail for a period greatly exceeding the span of the natural life of its body. Once the Kamarupa has learnt the way back to living human bodies, it becomes a vampire, feeding on the vitality of those who are so anxious for its company. In India these eidolons are called Pisâchas, and are much dreaded, as already explained elsewhere." - (http://theosophy.wiki/w-en/index.php?title=Kama-Rupa)

Nice brew! I'm a big fan of Abiding Grace, so this deck won me over right there.

I notice your only means of removal is Fume Spitter, which is pretty limited. But I also notice you have some +1/+1 counter pump with Scorn-Blade Berserker. So I wonder if maybe trying to work in a couple proliferate cards might give the deck a little more punch. Contagion Clasp, Unbounded Potential, Metastatic Evangel, Drown in Ichor, Karn's Bastion, and Grateful Apparition all seem like decent options.

I also notice you're running 24 lands, which is what I usually try to brew with, but given how few non-one-drops you have, I think you might be able to cut 1-2 safely. You might also consider dropping the one copy of Tragic Poet for Hall of Heliod's Generosity, but I suspect that's not on the table for budget reasons. Still, just one copy isn't that expensive and Hall is repeatable, which is a pretty big upgrade from the Poet. In my experience with Hall, once it's down, opponents just give up even trying to remove my Enchantments.

Tectonic Edge also seems a little extreme for a full set - going after non-basic lands seems a little out of place for a deck that has to work hard to remove a 2/2 creature. So I'm a little curious about that choice and wonder if maybe a sideboard could address whatever concerns Edge is in for. I wonder, also, if Field of Ruin might be a better option. Even though Field has a higher activation cost, it also comes without the extra need for an opponent to have 4+ lands AND it replaces itself, which helps maintain your manabase.

Oh, and maybe 1xCastle Locthwain for a little extra draw card power?

Balaam__ ya, that's the one. The fight sequences are great, but I also enjoy the jokes and even the plot. Wild that it's a "sequel" when the original was made in the late 70s. Jackie's had one long career.

Do you think it would be even remotely possible to make a "drunken master" mtg deck? I'm thinking no, lol.

February 21, 2026 12:03 p.m.

When I think of Jackie Chan, the first movie that comes to mind is Drunken Master 2, lol.

Balaam__ Thanks! In playtesting here it seems like it has equal chance to fizzle or go absolutely bonkers.

You're right - I could definitely polish the mana base of this deck. I like the Triome for 2 reasons: it's always the right color land I need, and in a pinch it can draw me a card. I've always struggled to get 3 color mana bases to be consistent and this deck demands its player have access to 2x Red, Blue, and Green to cast all of it's spells. That's something I try to avoid, but the temptation to theme a bit of flavor around 'Harmony' was just too strong with this one, lol. I'm open any advice you have on how many of which lands you think I should run.

First off, hell ya! Love this deck!

I don't think it's worth splashing green for it, but I like the value of Atarka's Command when I play Gruul multiplayer.

I do think a draw card spell (more than a few Horizon lands, though though I'm in full support of that land choice here) would make the deck stronger, too, but I doubt you're interested in because it would detract from your theme. But I'd probably go with Light Up the Stage since it would be so easy to meet the Spectacle cost.

Balaam__ To clarify AND to make a point for including Harmonic Prodigy - When I wrote (I'm pretty anti-HP, personally, lol[shrug]), by "HP" - I was referring to "Harry Potter." That 'Harry Potter' and 'Harmonic Prodigy' can both be reduced to the same HP acronym seems like a sign that HP belongs in the deck. And you know by HP, I now mean, 'Hewlett-Packard.' :P

If you want it to be more competitive/less casual, you can improve consistency by limiting the decklist to fewer creatures and more copies of key creatures. It seems to me the core theme of the deck is the Disturb mechanic, so I think your most important creature is Patrician Geist and you have run 4x copies of that. Really, you should try to include 4x copies of the best creatures, and cut some of the lesser creatures.

I can appreciate the desire to be creature heavy, but I'd like to encourage you to cut back from 32 to 26. 26 creatures would still be a very creature heavy deck, but would have room for a few more utility spells, namely a minimum of 4x removal spells and maybe a couple of copies of Pull from Eternity, so even if a creature that you've cast for it's Disturb cost is removed, you can still bring it back. That can really mess with opponent's heads and make them feel like they can't stop you no matter what you do.

And of course, so more dual lands is always good. You don't have many 1 drop spells, so maybe Temple of Enlightenment could be useful. I usually like to include a utility land or two, as well, like Scavenger Grounds or Field of Ruin.

I hope maybe something I've suggested is useful. Have fun!

Balaam__ - that's a great idea! Gonna add that right now! Maybe even revamp the description :)

Harmonic Prodigy is amazing with not only Fanatic of Mogis, but also Boros Reckoner, and also Burning-Tree Emissary.
