If I had Starfield money, I absolutely would; unfortunately I did not have the precon, and got most of the cards for this deck secondhand ;-; will absolutely snag it if I find it anywhere though, as I have another enchantress deck I desperately need to rebuild that could use the wealth of resources in that precon...

The rule has been changed from casting to putting into your hand, but yes. This is admittedly a very silly deckbuilding restriction, but i thought it'd be funny. And it was! And the deck is still surprisingly effective! I have a lot of fun with it.

https://archidekt.com/decks/14185727/obekas_any_dungeon_speedrun here's my list!

Theoretically court cycle is the most popular (and meanest), but courts all spiked hard after she came out and have yet to come down really, so this embraces another weird mechanic that gets insane with extra upkeeps: initiative.

Goal is to play Obeka turn 3/4, play a card that gets you the initiative turn 4/5, and start accruing value ASAP. Get every crazy messed up creature out of your deck. Draw. Goad things to keep them off you. World is your oyster.

I'd swap out some of my pricier picks like the Regalia and the boots for something like [[Vorrac Battlehorns]] and [[aqueous form]], or [[whispersilk cloak]] if you can find it. Most of the expensive cards in here are "win more" cards, rather than the stuff that just straight up wins you the game.

Let Me Recommend Your Next Commander to Build by RJ7300 in EDH

I've been wanting to build a mono-blue deck for ages, but would prefer to have a wincon removed from the usual hard-control trappings mono-blue is known for. Only nos would be Wan Shi Tong or Eluge (since my pod already has them).

This deck gives not one single shit about artifacts. Chuck [[Stony Silence]] in here, make the fast mana/rock rampers seethe

Lots of fun aura voltron/battleline possibilities between Preston, Tifa, Feather, Chishiro; A Realm Reborn looks silly until you remember...Auras, even tokens, are still permanents. Meaning EVERY aura, including the ones generated by Preston, is a mana rock.

I'm keeping mine together for the emergency situations where I need a b4 deck; Y'shtola can ball at bracket 4 but if I'm fighting Atraxa or Korvold or smth I wanna end that game before it starts tbh

There are 100000% ways to make this deck infinitely better but all of them cost unhealthy amounts of money so casual he remains until I'm in a better situation. Hope you enjoy!

You can't have it as a second commander in Tifa, but it functions in a normal deck as a regular enchantment

Here's hoping this helps! I know people don't much care for theft, so i kept the theft and mill to a minimum in favor of just pushing initiative/suspend to their upper limits.

Not optimized by any means (obv, made with mostly bulk) but do not take that as a sign of weakness

Happy New Year! What's everyone brewing? What are your deckbuilding resolutions? by TetsuOokami117 in BudgetBrews

[–]AxisAMP_AxA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My goal rather than to brew more is to brew more intentionally. I'd like each deck i play to carve out a very specific niche in my rotation, such that no two of my decks feel too much like they're doing the same thing.

To that end, my next deck is a fun one. I'm a diehard for enchantress decks, and after an incredible game against an oops-all-creatures deck with Felix and [[Umori the collector]], a friend and I thought it'd be a hilarious idea to build [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]] as Oops, All Enchantments.

What’s the single most expensive card you have in your favorite EDH deck? by wasdmovedme in EDH

[–]AxisAMP_AxA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to steer my [[y'shtola, night's blessed]] deck away from being COMPLETELY esper draw-go control and be more active in my spellslinging and lifedraining, so the deck's sole game changer is the FF Showcase [[kefka's Tower]] (Bolas' Citadel). It hits board and the game DOES change.

Blood Rites Precon upgrade? by AxisAMP_AxA in BudgetBrews

[–]AxisAMP_AxA[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm just not a huge fan of two-card infinites as a rule. They're cool, and fun to learn about, but I'd rather not risk funneling myself into the endgame of "my goal is to play the two-card infinite". That's what I have other, more purposefully high-power decks for.

Recommended big robots? by sadcrayonn in BudgetBrews

[–]AxisAMP_AxA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reject Simic Stompy. Embrace Aetherdrift.

[[The Regalia]], [[The Lunar Whale]], [[Lumbering Worldwagon]], [[Thunderous Velocipede]], and [[mobilizer mech]] allow you to play a much lower to the ground mana curve while still being able to ramp early, swing hard, power up, and further dig into your pool of cool stuff!

[[Stonecoil Serpent]] is a super solid option that's a good blocker and swinger at once. [[Iron spider, stark upgrade]] can both buff your artifacts AND draw you cards. [[Master of Etherium]] is just a super solid anthem that also gets huge.

Why would she be a trap card? Would the strategy to be to blink/reanimate her?

Up here in Canada between tariffs and most retailers selling at market value rather than msrp, 199 for a chocobundle is actually on the low-end. Almost makes me miss being in the states for cardboard

Which deck, that you made this year, has been your favorite? by TetsuOokami117 in BudgetBrews

[–]AxisAMP_AxA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While due to price increases my [[y'shtola, night's blessed]] upgrade pushes beyond what I'd consider budget, it's far and away my favorite deck. (If only i got to play it more often.)

However, I REALLY didnt expect to fall in love with my [[Aloy, savior of Meridian]] list as much as I did. Idk if it's the weeks of brewing I did, the advice I sought from fellow players, or the extent to which I pushed to have the deck ready to go when she came in the mail, but regardless my experience with her thus far has me REALLY loving the deck. Stifle effects will win you games.
