(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Aside from swords, what do you guys think would be the best to Voltron up Wydwen, the Biting Gale? Low equip cost is preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLG Klavier Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 How much do you guys value curve in EDH? Do you consider it important? Like, I can see it being less significant in decks like Wanderer, Prossh, Borbo etc. since they have 2 steps of the curve (ramp early, fat later) but for decks that don't ramp like mad?

bury the year Posted November 21, 2014 Author 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.Added.Aside from swords, what do you guys think would be the best to Voltron up Wydwen, the Biting Gale?

Like, I can see it being less significant in decks like Wanderer, Prossh, Borbo etc. since they have 2 steps of the curve (ramp early, fat later) but for decks that don't ramp like mad?Somewhat so. I always try to keep the 3 CMC slot the most heavily populated in my deck, and not let the average CMC of the deck exceed 4. Outside that, though, if a card's good I throw it in.

CLG Klavier Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Mmm, I'm just trying to figure that damn Ephara out somehow. She would probably be the top of my curve, so I should stick to CMC<=4 cards, with a few oddball bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokai-Red Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 That means you playing Ephara without PW Venser, Sun Titan, mmm IDK Other Stuff? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 That means you playing Ephara without PW Venser, Sun Titan, mmm IDK Other Stuff? XD with a few oddball bombs I'll probably end up playing them. Anyways: [spoiler=WIP] 1 Ephara, God of the Polis 1 Arcane Denial 1 Counterspell 1 Cryptic Command 1 Forbid 1 Hinder 1 Last Word 1 Pact of Negation 1 Render Silent 1 Rewind 1 Spell Crumple 1 Faerie Trickery 1 Aven Mindcensor 1 Hushwing Gryff 1 Restoration Angel 1 Snapcaster Mage 1 Stonecloaker 1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir 1 Venser, Shaper Savant 1 Whitemane Lion 1 Faerie Harbinger 1 Mistbind Clique 1 Quickling 1 Vendilion Clique 1 Glen Elendra Archmage 1 Sower of Temptation [/spoiler] So, first the permissions suite, then Flash creatures, then a small Faerie package I decided to include for the sake of Mistbind lock, but they synergize with the deck well it seems, with Flash and ETB effects all around.

Gokai-Red Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Maybe some 1 Drops: Namely Cursecatcher, Judge's Familiar, Martyrs, etc and like Ranger of Eos for Fetching them?Ehm IDK Aether Vial? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Bleh, ignore the Faeries, stupid idea that takes too much space. I've seen tons of Ephara lists run those, but like, why? They don't do much for the deck, and 1 mana tax is something pretty much every deck can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokai-Red Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I honestly don't know...XDI never really seemed to care about 1 drops creature in commander unless they are either OP, like Deathrites Shaman, Mother of Runes, Serra Ascendent or Synergizes a lot with a theme like Viscera Seer, Soul Warden, Goblin Welder, Or I'm running a Pod Engine.I guess that the Deck can do with it for being searchable fodder that helps thinning the Deck and also gives you more stuff to play and draw with ephara or something.

bury the year Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/21-11-14-ephara-edh/ dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuunI'd suggest Godhead of Awe over Humility? Doesn't shut down your creatures and can help turn on Ephara. (EDIT: Nvm, thought Awe only affected opponents' creatures.)Also, it's Return to Dust, not Turn to Dust. Ephara can't play green, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be fun though.You also don't get that much benefit out of it: the only ones you have would be Ephara herself, and Sacred Mesa actually interacts unfavorably with it.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I recommended Glen Elandra Archmage, Klav. Reusable counterspell that triggers ephara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Oh... didn't see it... Discussion point: What is everyone's opinion of Remand in this format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 It...could have its merits, but overally it seems weak. It faces the same problem as in Constructed - opponent will just recast. But here, cantripping means less and you can't chain multiples together.

Trebuchet MS Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Also, for the same CMC, you could be casting a more solid Disdainful Stroke - and most of the time, whatever Disdainful Stroke can hit is already worth countering.

Rodrigo Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Remand in EDH? Probably only in the French banlist in specific decks like Geist of Saint Traft or Vendilion Clique. In multiplayer it doesn't do enough to justify the cantrip. And you should be running enough card draw already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
