Deck Reviews / Critique My [EDH / Commander] Exava EDH Deck

« on: February 14, 2016, 03:15:48 pm »

Exava EDH

So I think the point to my deck is pretty straightforward: it's an aggro deck that punishes blocking, either by dealing damage to those who block, or outright preventing blocking.  It also has some discard plays with Waste Not, Rotting Rats, and Rakdos's Return to name a few.

One thing I'm worried about is: I don't have enough haste enablers.  Other than Exava and Anger, I can't think of any other cards that give my creatures haste.  Later, I may add in a Hammer of Purphoros.

It would go to the graveyard first, then to your hand unless they pay the price. On the card (if you read carefully) it says "when another creature DIES...RETURN it to your hand. That means the creature died, went to the graveyard, and is now being placed back into your hand. So really the creature does not go directly from the battlefield to your hand.

Does Athreos work on creatures with Haunt?

General Magic / Can't find a card

And it's been bugging me.  All I remember is it was either a colorless artifact or an enchantment that allows my tapped stuff to come in untapped.

well under the rulings section of this website that i just checked (http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Unearth) the unearth effect won't permanently exile your creature UNLESS you exile and bring it back yourself first.

So Deadeye Navigator works?

Shea manning has a point. That's why conjurer's closet, nephalia smuggler, and especially ghostly flicker and deadeye navigator would be must haves for this deck. Because they fit your colors, they exile and bring back creatures (ghostly flicker at instant speed), and it helps the overall mechanic of your deck. Was this advice helpful to you?

Yes it was.  Thank you.

General Magic / Any anti-exile cards out there?

« on: November 16, 2015, 02:25:15 pm »

I'm building a Sedris EDH deck, and I was wondering if there are any anti-exile cards in black, blue, or red that I could use?  Something that I could use that would negate the exile of the unearth ability and will just put the creature back in the graveyard?  Or does it not work that way in MTG?

I've also been wanting to do Abzans, but with lifegain Allies instead.

General Magic / Karametra EDH

« on: October 19, 2015, 01:50:21 am »

So I've been interested in the EDH format for a couple days, and thought that a good card to base my first EDH deck around is Karametra, God of Harvests.  I even decided to use landfall in the deck to synergize with her.  But besides that, I dont really know any good cards to put in.  Suggestions?

Since I'm new to the game, there's one combo I particularly like:

Kiora, Master of the Depths, Kiora's Follower, and Verdant Haven for a UG Mana ramp Monstrosity deck lol

Ordeal without heroic or a similar effect that accelerates counter production is just offering your opponent two for one.

On top of BG elves, instead of sidestepping into discard use kill and stall effects.

Cards like Ultimate Price or Mutilate?

General Magic / Dimir Keyrune + Cipher

« on: September 26, 2015, 03:32:50 am »

If I encode a cipher spell onto a Dimir Keyrune I have on the field that's a monster, does it keep the cipher, or do the effects go away when at the end of turn the Keyrune returns to being an artifact?

For discarding as your secondary strategy, you could use Duress, Mind Rot, or Diplomacy of the Wastes. If you want to sub out a few more cards, Waste Not is a must have but it gets further away from your Elf theme. Ordeal of Erebos pumps up your creatures and has a nice discard effect. Whaddaya think? 

Honestly I've never been crazy about the Ordeal cards for some reason.  But I love Duress and Mind Rot as my discarders!
