bury the year Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Got my Adun in the mail! He's glorious. (:BTWhttp://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/18-11-14-intet-edh/Once again? Opinions? Suggestions? AnythingFrom my experience playtesting another variant of Intet and watching my friend play Rith, the Dominaria dragons all tread a fine line, particularly Intet. There are a lot of little factors that need to be tuned in order to get max value out of her (giving her haste, avoiding removal, topdeck manipulation, ramp to cast things normally), which means you have to balance cards that mitigate these factors versus actual goodstuff to cast with her ability. I'd encourage you to put more low-cost ramp in, like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach. I found that if Intet was destroyed 2 times, she rarely was worth the 10 mana to cast again. You'll want to be able to work around that. So, I was looking for a new deck to make, and I found Ephara. She looks really pretty, the art and frame, is in my fave colors, and has a great ability. Once I tried her in a blink deck, but the curve was awkward and messy, so I'll leave that for Roon. For Ephara I was thinking about a more draw-go approach, using her as resource refreshement. Thoughts?I personally like Ephara over Roon. Roon tends to end up being a mishmash of Bant ETB goodstuff, which while not bad is usually pretty repetitive to play with and against. Ephara is a. hard to remove and b. a steady source of card advantage, which lends herself to a nice grindy control style. Plus, you get to play Saltskitter! That's a creature that should never see play anywhere else, but in Ephara is near required. It's too fun to not. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not actually updated it since end of Journey into Nyx, so there are updates to be made. Also, I don't have TappedOut, so here's an awkward link: http://deck.tk/4JzU0MP7Fairly standard pillow-fort Zedruu, with some cool combo win-cons.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ok, i would like to make a note on zedruu, since a friend of mine runs it. Zedruu is not nice. Zedruu does not want to make friends. Zedruu does not want to give other players a chance to have fun Zedruu is a douche Zedruu wants to make the table its bitch Zedruu wants to give other players illusions of grandeur, then blink ith with David tennant and redonate it. Basically, it uses a ton of enchantment based control to halt the game, and typically win off comboes such as Purphoros+Assemble the legion Don't underestimate zedruu.

Gokai-Red Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 It was fun becuase I built it with No Win Conditions at all, except maybe "Thieves Auction"...It was a hug Deck with no pillowfort, so eveyone could basically kick me out the game whenever they please with all the resources I lended them...except most of the time they didn't coz...I knew how to look like a generous dude...XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 ... Whatever. -.- Seems I expected too much asking for actual help...Well, you never asked what kind of wincons you want. The problem with Ephara is that the playstyle she encourages isn't suited to winning through pushing through big creatures. Oftentimes you just have to combo out while setting up protection. Either use some evasive beater like Ætherling, or some strong clone and/or ETB effects (like Diluvian Primordial) combined with flicker. That's all I can say. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 But that's exactly why I ignored Rodrigo's suggestion, such stuff is too costly. In my earlier post I brought up 2 combos, so I figured it's clear I'm looking for something like that...meh, my fault again I bet...whatever...sorry...

Alice Moonflowyr Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Speaking of Medomai, building a 1v1 EDH deck for him. It's hilariously fun. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/magic-is-a-single-player-game/ That's Version 1 of what the final build'll look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sharuum, but I don't play EDH. The last time I played EDH was with Rod, he knows how long that must be then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Building a working Nekusar deck requires a careful balance of damage sources, combo protection, card draw, and mana. I can't seem to find that right balance. How can I improve? http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/nekusaurus-rex-2/ "Sideboard" is cards I have but aren't using (largely for space reasons).
