    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    Shardless is one of the core pieces of the deck and synergises well with the Cascade targets, like Living Wish and Lim-Dul's Vault. It's basically always a 2-for-one. Even if they counter the...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    First off, I'm not really seeing the point of Green Sun's Zenith, because I don't really see a source for 'missing green creature' in the combo? Am I missing something? Are you comboing out purely...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    Whip,
    do you still feel Deathrite is out of the question? The common theme I see in the match-ups is that you were mana-screwed plenty of times. Am I correct? Do you feel DS could have possibly...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    I've gotta say, that list looks pretty ... weird. Not negatively or anything, just ... weird and interesting. How is that Jace really working out for you? Have you used its -1 ability on one of your...

    I'm actually quite curious to see your decklist. :)

    Thanks! That's very good to know. Makes sense, since it generates a copy. Interesting!

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    On that I very much agree! But if I set it side by side to Diabolic Intent, drawing into DI ends the game, since you simply look for that one Parasitic Strix or in a worse case scenario, with Leyline...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    I wouldn't say Recruiters are cheap as fuck. ;) I can't currently miss 4x €75,-
    Anyways, Wish isn't so much about casting it neccesarily, Cascading into it is all you need. I've had times I had to...

    Haha! Awesome that you tested that. Just shows that the deck is kinda made to work nicely with Shardless.

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    Exactly ... ;)


    Yeah, maybe. I'll keep swapping and see which I'll prefer. In Reanimator, for example, it's an absolute must.


    I guess we disagree here. This deck isn't Belcher and won't go...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    That's nonsense, of course ... it greatly ups the chances, but it does very much depend on your total life, of course. Let's say you're at 5 ... it's gonna be a gamble.


    Not neccesarily ... You...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    LDV does that? I mean, we're Cascading with Agent + Harpy, that was the situation I was sketching. It makes finding the right piece to Cascade into a lot more consistent and it makes setting it up...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    I've seen this one before, but I'd even pick Ravenous Rats over this ... ;) The upside of Tidehollow is the peeking, which can be very important, but bouncing Rats leaves them with an empty hand, at...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    The difference is that you get one of your possible combo pieces out and the net difference is the same, since I found you can in fact use it to bounce Shardless. It comes into play, bounces itself,...

    I actually meant when having out multiple Shardless / any drawing creature. Should've clarified that.

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    Raven had the ability to at least dig deeper, so that 1 life you paid for Harpy became less of a risk. You can't deny that Shardless Agent and its Cascading is a gamble, always. I mean, I can't see...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    I disagree. What if Shardless Agent is all you have at the moment and you happen to Cascade into a Living Wish. You'd pick Harpy to get going and hope to Cascade into another Wish or a Lim-Dul's...

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    Exactly. Like I thought.
    Coiling Oracle is simply a ramp, sacrificial food for Cabal Therapy and is a possible combo piece. It's an early drop that can speed things along. If the Oracle might be all...

    Ah! I recently read that it affected Goyf as well, though it does actually make sense that it doesn't. ;)

    Re: [Deck] Aluren

    I've been assembling Aluren for a while now since I haven't seen it really being played here in the Netherlands and I'm a big sucker for underdog decks.
