Started testing Monastery Mentor as the secondary win condition and so far it seems very promising.
My meta is pretty hateful so the while the "Zur swings and you've won scenario" is true most of the time (it does whiff from time to time) it doesn't happen consistently. Due to the Zur paradox...
Good suggestion. I've been considering adding Doomsday so that I can increase my threat density. Extract, Jester's Cap and Sadistic Sacrament has been problems in the past. So far I have it down to...
For a deck that is mentioned so often there is very little discussion about him.
Here is the combo/control version I am currently running. Designed to fight Derevi which can be a really bad...
@FTW I recommend adding in Angel's Grace, Ad Nauseam and Edgewalker. It adds another win out of nowhere combo and ignores graveyard hate.
I'm looking into Athreos as well but am unsure of which direction to go in. Maybe clerics.
I'm for sure going to add in Bloodchief Ascension and Mindcrank. The big problem with Athreos is that...
Contamination seems like it would be a good inclusion. Locks out non-black decks and synergies well with your general. If you do add it though be sure to throw in a Bird of Paradise or some mana...
The best way to get into EDH is to think of something awesome and figure out a way to do it. This will probably involve some trial and error but even the biggest failures can lead to great stories....
Whenever I play Necropotence I usually add Reliquary Tower because t's nice to draw 20 cards off of Necro and then keep all of the cards.
Quick question about combat damage triggers and the stack.
Let's say you have Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, Prophet of Kruphix and Gilded Lotus in play and you have a 9 CC creature in hand. You...
For brutal combo your best bets are either Hermit Druid or Bryant's Pile of Broken. In reality it depends on what you're playing against. No deck can consistently survive against the combined hate...
Rancor and Angelic Destiny do not return to your hand if you put Uril into the command zone after he dies. Never hits the graveyard to activate the recursion effects.
A few lands you might think...
It looks like they're returning a volleyball. It's meh. That being said the original art isn't that great either. Stick to the original.
I'd recommend Belcher first but a build with Burning Wish. Once you get the reasoning behind a storm deck you can take off the training wheels and go for ANT or T.E.S.. That' basically what I did and...
The two big things to remember when playing Uril is that blue is blue and combo is everywhere in EDH. Those things said Uril needs to be made as cutthroat as possible as you are playing a highly...
Thought it's time bump this thread. I've been playing Lin Sivvi in my EDH league since the beginning of the year and thought I'd share my tech and reach out to see if there is any tech anyone would...

Whenever you would gain life you may instead gain no life and add W to your mana pool.

I thought this was kinda informative and pretty entertaining.
Skip to 4:04 for the best...
You forgot Ramosian Sergeant. The most effecient Rebel ever. Also Reveille Squad could be nice. Nice reason for enemies not to attack you.
Any thoughts on Crack the Earth replacing Xantid Swarm in the sideboard? On the draw it seems pretty good. Must counter or they lose out on their opening land drop or 1 drop and lord help them if...
Fixed.
No more "wow that's a lot of goblins/unpopped Charbelcher on turn 1. End of your turn. Mystical Tutor for Echoing Truth." I really hated that play.
The problem is that MT allows a blue player to power through ALL hate cards by allowing them to run their combo, card draw, a toolbox of resiliance and a full counter/anti-counter package all with...
Because while it is card disadvantage it is guaranteed to deliver an underpriced bullet in any decent decklist. One of the reasons that this deck was so resilient to hate is because of how diverse...
As a lifetime hater of all things blue I approve of this banning. Thank you Wizards.
