Well, What Have We Here

I kind of abandoned this for SSDD

But I guess, since it's summer and all, I can update. Besides, I have 2 followers, so I feel obligated to.

Recently, my group has picked up EDH. Again. But this time, like, seriously. Because that's all they play up at U of H. So Fidel, the main opponent, is now probably the main proponent. So that's silly.

Anyways, I use a currently untuned Dakkon Blackblade deck. It could use some tweeking, and I made a couple of last minute cuts that I don't feel so sure about. Plus, I just missed out on some obviously good things that, quite honestly, I didn't want to search for while building. Martial Coup, Hinder, some Transmute buddies...

Okay, well actually, I don't have much to say now. Well, I do, but I'm not going to right now. I got some Theatre stuff to work out. But I'm going to be able to regularize this, so...

...

Gentlemen, BEHOLD!

But first, Type 4 Cube updates post-Conflux prerelease. No one was trading 'flux, so I only ended up with 1 Conflux (the card) after a 2HG flight with Bijan.

First, nonfunctional changes:

Ugly Fact or Fiction for Jace v Chandra Fact or Fiction.
Nothing Necrogenesis for Signed Necrogenesis!

Additions:
Blood Tyrant
Time Stretch
Path to Exile
Restock
Rafiq of the Many

Removed:
Fungal Behemoth
Stonewood Invocation
Dark Banishing
Whispersilk Cloak
Creeping Mold
Barter in Blood

Just removing a bunch of stuff that seemed generally lame.

Anyways,

GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD:

5 Color White Gifts With No Creatures or Stuff

24 Lands

4 x Fellwar Stone

2 x Gifts Ungiven
2 x Intuition
1 x Conflux
1 x Demonic Tutor

2 x All Suns' Dawn
1 x Regrowth
1 x Izzet Chronarch
1 x Nucklavee
1 x Eternal Witness
1 x Naya Charm

1 x False Prophet
3 x Swords to Plowshares
2 x Path to Exile
2 x Bant Charm
2 x Wrath of God
1 x Firespout

2 x Living Wish
3 x Decree of Justice
3 x Goblin Assault

I dunno, Man. I dunno. I just want to resolve Conflux so bad that I'll do anything to make a deck for it. I need better black, though. Tutor a tutor? I need some multiplayer beats. I'm feeling Blood Tyrant. We're doing Release... but not on Release. Snow Angel this weekend. Next weekend, though, gettin' a draft together. Triple Conflux. A lot of it. Shouldn't be too bad, huh? I mean, just draft every Domain Card and then pray.

Inspired to Update

(Look, I can follow a trend: shotgunpriest)

A while ago, around right before States, I read a statement that inspired me to build a lot of different decks. The phrase was 'using tokens as card advantage'. Now, I had always realized the obvious things. If you use a Spectral Procession and trade with three dudes, it's a 3-for-1. Everyone gets that. But that phrase intrigued me, so I read on. Then I read the Policy of Pressure for tokens. Force them to Wrath every turn or they die.

Sounds fun. Except instead of putting a billion cards on the line, you used one. Sweet. So I made the following beauty, and never looked back.

Lands, including Windbrisk Heights

2 x Figure of Destiny
2 x Soul Warden
2 x Ranger of Eos
4 x Crusading Knight
3 x Cloudgoat Ranger

4 x Spectral Procession
4 x Swords to Plowshares
2 x Kiss of Amesha
2 x Tidings
3 x Mirrorweave
2 x Decree of Justice
4 x Mindstone
4 x Repuse

Mirrorweave combos are always fun in my opinion. There's some non-token CA, of course. Tidings or Kiss are backbreakers after they've depleted their hand dealing with your immense threat volume. They are my Cruel Ultimatums. This deck extends to multiplayer very well. It does nothing overly threatening. Having 3 tokens out usually doesn't freak anyone out. But what's great is that other decks give you the fatties. Mirrorweave, my friend, Mirrorweave. And with everyone going Shacrazy, Liege alert! Get's exponential. Also, the 3-color guys from Alara are nice. Fun combo: Have some dudes in play. In response to some token burst (coolest thing I've done with this is cycle Decree for 4 EOT), Mirrorweave a Soul Warden. Everyone got a lovely life boost. I, however, with 8 guys in play, profited nicely. And then killed someone swinging for 12.

Good times, gooood times.

Also, got Jace v. Chandra for Christmas. Seems fairly balanced, comes with some good staples. Nice, nice.

Mirrorweave

Is so awesome. Oh my god, yes it is.

Inspired by Kithkin, I ported a Mirrorweave deck to multiplayer. It's basically WW, except it has all of the reach that it could never attain in multiplayer. This is really helped out by Sacred Gaysa. I'm torn between putting in Mass Removal or not. It's kinda counter intuitive... but a man does not live on Chump Blocking and Swords to Plowshares alone. When I don't make play mistakes, I win with it. I went 2-2 with it in chaos multiplayer.

...

Dass a big deal.

I'll post something else later, I suppose.

My Epic Post ;_;

I did an EVE set review for my triumphant return.

It's all gone.

;____;

Cutting EDH

Yeah. So, I have to have, what, 99 cards?

Oops.









































































Hint: The pile of basic lands has 28 lands.

Ouch.
