Glad to see you two guys drooling over the deck, I haven't played in forever but I agree on the following cuts with Master/Filigree Sages. Trinket Mage needs to be in. I'm still debating between...
Nice find mrjumbo. I run Mikokoro in Karn and for some reason I didn't catch that you can draw your whole deck with it too!
LOL at Time Spiral + Possessed Portal. Yeah my playgroup has Zur, and...
I haven't considered Mouth of Ronom. I did consider Scrying Sheets once but the games were ending too fast that it was in fact a bad land. Mouth is a good candidate (kills Zur) and I will probably...
Thanks Morbid :D
I haven't played EDH in the past 2 months, but the deck was designed to fight a competitive cutthroat meta. It's still half a power-tier below Oona/Grim-long and Zur, but the...
Thanks for the feedback and thoughts!
I agree Arcum is actually pretty hard to play optimally. Even against casual players, your playouts can vary depending on what colors opponents are playing. ...
Updated opening list, will update more later tonight with the actual list (since I'm updating from memory for now).
-1 Vesuva (this land is terrible)
-1 Tectonic Edge (you win on turns 3-6...

Replace Penim's Aura with Thousand-Year Elixir (I wouldn't run this but it's still better than Penim's Aura).
For your list, if you are going on a budge, I'll focus the...

UPDATED SECOND POST with the commonly played combos.
@trinket mage: need to find room, but I was considering Artificer's Intuition in Trinket's spot. Not sure yet. probably cut Static Orb for...
Also, can someone PLEASE hook me up with a Korean Manakin. Aside from a foil misdirection and foil Thran Dynamo, I have the whole deck pimped out (sorry no Jap foils since I don't EDH that much,...
Copy-pasta'd from MTGS (also fucking hate MTGS, fucking mod just came up and trolled me that I'm being too general in my PRIMER. Instead of arguing with him, I just changed out PRIMER for EDH so I...
COMBO PATHS: THE ROAD TO VICTORY
Here's a list of the most commonly tutored combo with Arcum (with explanations), followed by a section of mini combos:
COMBO 1: Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt...
So Arcum was my second EDH general (first general was Rhys the Redeemed). A few years ago, I worked on a pretty competitive and cutthroat list that did well for me. Ever since Tolarian Academy and...
