[EDH] Karn, the Silver Golem

[Wargoos]

Hi,
first of all I have to say that I have never played EDH or a deck containing more than 60 cards but I am very interested in building one, since more and more locals start to play highlander.

(ignore the [x] and [a]'s)

I dunno anything about the format, but looks like Mutavault and Karakas could be good.

[Wargoos]

Last time I checked karakas was banned, and also Metalworker, which I have to cut now.
Mutavault is a good suggestion and I will try it.

[undone]

scorched ruins tends to get waste/stripped in this format because every one runs the obligatory stripmine and 3/1ing a land is pretty awsome. I also hear planar portal is pretty good in this deck simply because you make tons of mana. Other than that looks fun.

[THEchubbymuffin]

Some ideas:
Myr Matrix
Myr Incubator

[MattH]

Urza's Armor blanks a lot of smaller effects that could otherwise add up, tokens especially.

[Wargoos]

Well then Mutavault it is.
Any good acc. I can add for the metalworker?
And planar portal is already in the deck :D
Thanks for your suggestions!

What's the purpose of Urborg in this deck? Although legal, it brings no benefit for this deck, and worse, it may help smooth your opponent's manabase. Scrying Sheets? Why not a Vesuva or some other thing in these slots? And whyt Meekstone? I can't see how you could benefit from it, almost all of your (light) creature base stands up 3 power. And you're also too light on removal, I think your deck needs desperately a stronger creature base to survive the combat phases.

possible mana accelerants to consider that are brown are Doubling Cube and Candelabra of Tawnos. Candelabra is especially great with artifact mana and lands that produce more than 1 mana.

Question, why no Arcbound Ravenger? Works great with Trisk.

I would also suggest Crucible of Worlds, Smokestack and The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale (granted this last is expensive, but really good at slowing down horde decks).

I would also suggest the new gargoyle land.

How could I forget gargoyle castle. One of my fav's!! Thanks for the great advice!
I worked on the list a bit and removed some "danger-of-cool-things" stuff and replaced it with something playable (- urborg + vesuva for instance).
Also I added a phyrexian processor which is quite neat and can win games on its own.

Keep in mind that the Candelabra is also really good for combat tricks w/ lands like Mishra's Factory, i.e. pumping themselves.

Yeah, Candelabra is awesome and supports the megasynergy between Artefact acc - winter orb and mishra's helix :)
Won a game yesterday with that combo, just by playing the helix.

So, you aren't playing City of Traitors, Mox Diamond, or Scorched Ruins? Why not?

Edit - I see someone mentioned Strip Mine as a reason not to run Ruins. The benefits far, FAR outweigh the setbacks.

I updated the list :)
What do you think should I cut for the diamond?

Also, could you please make a thread for you Edh Azami deck, very interested in this one.

[Nightmare]

There is one already.

[SilverGreen]

I think your deck needs desperately a stronger creature base to survive the combat phases.

Please ignore me. I didn't even notice the general's ability when I wrote this...

[undone]

Doesnt Relic not work because "any color mana" Unless im mistaken. The same is true of guilded lotus.

[Sims]

You are mistaken. The rule indicates that the cards cannot have the mana symbol on them if it is not present in the generals cost. Those cards do not have mana symbols on them. It also states in the rules that any mana generated that would be a color not present in your generals casting cost is instead colorless. So Relic and Lotus produce colorless mana, and are legal because they do not actually contain a mana symbol on them. Same for City of Brass and the other rainbow lands, actually.

It's now obvious, but let me be the first one to say: this deck may laugh loudly with Metalworker's unbanning.

What , is it also unbanned in the EDH format?
