~Faytl~ Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/e-zur-is-a-pain-in-the-a/ Prototype build I've made before purchasing. Haven't playd Simic before, but the intent is essentially to token out and counter out, hit hard, hit fast. Comments and suggestions requested.

Flame Dragon Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I really love Ezuri and would love to make a deck around him if a friend hadn't already beaten me to the punch. So, some ideas of my own and stolen from him. First cuts Not a BIG fan of the giant idiots that are Lorescale Coatl and Managorger Hydra. Don't see what Spawnwrithe is doing. Also think Vorel of the Hull Clade is a little on the slow side. I'd try to get some more duels. In any deck I make I look for at least 20 sources of a color. Might be hard given how limited enemy duels are, but if you have too stuff like the Vivids are always an option. While Fungal Sprouting fits with the plan, I don't think its very good. Master Biomancer is really cool and I'm not saying cut it, but keep in mind he turns off Ezuri. Kamahl, Fist of Krosa doesn't feel needed Progenitor Mimic is cool, but doesn't really fit in with the deck. Coastal Piracy seems like a weaker form of card draw for this deck. Death's Presence lets you keep the counters even when things die, but not really sure how much you care since you grow giant idiots so fast. Fable of Wolf and Owl is a cute card, but it feels slow and underwhelming. Genesis Chamber and Orochi Hatchery both play into the token theme, but neither seems super good since the first helps your opponents and the second is REALLY slow. Hardened Scales seems unneeded. Adding +1 counter when your adding +10 doesn't really make much of a difference. Sure you have other cards that pick up counter synergy so its not the worse, but I think the bulk of the counter player will be coming from Ezuri. For additions Wild Beastmaster is insane in this deck. E-Witness should be in just about every Green EDH deck. The snake is an option too, but Den Protector seems way better given its unblockable. I am of the opinion that Cyclic Rift should go into every Blue EDH deck. Sakura-Tribe Elder is just always good. Deadeye seems very good in this deck getting more milage out of ETB and more counters on Ezuri. How willing you are to play infect creatures is your call, but they are all insane with Ezuri. The best are Viral Drake, Blight Mamba, and Blighted Agent. Of those I think you should at least play the Drake. Glen Elendra Archmage seems awesome in this deck. She triggers Ezuri multiple times and gets reset thanks to the +1/+1 counters. Tezzeret's Gambit seems awesome in this deck. I feel like this deck wants more removal. GU has the worse creature removal by nature but you'd want some answers to stuff. Pongify, Beast Within, and Reality Shift all fill this role. Ulvenwald Tracker also seems very good. Aerie Ouphes might be too cute, but they also do some cool things here. For non creature removal Woodfall Primus has the fun reset feature with Ezuri. Surprise you don't have Cold-Eyed Selkie in the deck. Has evasion and lets you draw a TON of cards. Overwhelming Stampede is just a better Overrun. I'd run that instead. Same deal with Swiftfoot Boots and Lighting Greaves.. Soul of the Harvest is good in any creature deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Fable of Wolf and Owl is a cute card, but it feels slow and underwhelming.After testing, Fable of Wolf and Owl is legitimately insane once you land it. Coiling Oracle giving you a 1/1, a 1/1 flyer, a 2/2, 3 experience counters, and a draw that may end up being a land drop? Sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching my friend play Ezuri getting a bunch of experience counters wasn't a major issue and if you have enough GU cards it might be better then I'm giving it credit. O, also, Hornet Queen is very good in this deck. Gives you a ton of experience and a bunch go air support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I mean, I don't run it in my Ezuri build, but that is just because I am playing infect and don't reach that high of mana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Feed does seem insane. Also, card friend found was Simic Manipulator. Why yes, I'll take any creature in play. Also, another creature that explodes into 1/1s, Hangerback Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Let's not forget cool pseudo-Hydras like Pentavite, Triskelon, etc. While they don't immediately add to experience, they do synergize with the boons that Ezuri will give them.
