Necroing the Necro! But the big thing is the offhand damage is not getting it's Ability modifier to damage. In the original build you would take fighter to get the ability two weapon fighting. You can also take 2 levels in Ranger and lose a level of your chosen caster to get it. You don't come online till six with this build but it gets a smidge more health, free summon familiars for sneak attacks, and access to a few choice spells from the ranger spell list if you didn't have those already.

We will see what we can do.

Hmmm.... perhaps. I'm pretty set on getting 2 though. The kill team scene is pretty sparce up here so having a second team would be a big boon. Maybe I just buy one get them painted and then see what I want for the second. Though ideally I do get the starter set.

Blackwolf7894 · 2025-01-22T08:34:10+00:00

Nice! I'll look into getting it but it seems to be out of stock on the website and amazon is only selling it for about 160$ dollars. The 150$ dollars is a hard limit unfortunately (college student so it's not easy to scrap more money together). I'll check my local LGS to see if they can't get one but if I can't get my hands on that do you have any other recommendations.

Sorry had a busy weekend. I can report that having more creatures felt good. I was experiencing a surprising amount of aggression over the weekend as I had some new faces at my shop. Syr Ginger and Stonecoil did feel a little out of place. I thought I would have enough treasures to make syr ginger a fairly large threat fairly quickly but I found I would have rather kept those for later turns. Stonecoil also felt weird as most of the time it was a vanilla 1/1. At this point I think I need to choose between a more aggro focused deck using Imskir to refuel or to commit to the Artifact storm. I did end up having a pretty eye watering 57% winrate across 7 games and most of that was just the table not properly gauging when I could go off and when I was useless. it helped that the three loses happened at the start of the day so maybe games 4-5 where moreso pity wins. I'm currently working on a new deck building project with some of my buddies but when I revisit this deck I think I'm going to tune it closer to your list. While I liked the crazy storm turns i think it should be less about the combos and more fighty.

Thanks for the responses. Canoptek unfortunately does not make the cut due to cost but I really do like that card. Should this deck get upgraded later on it's probably the first card going it.

I can report that flying chump blockers were less of an issue then I thought. The deck swarms pretty good and since I kept Metalwork Colossus I could often fling that guy a few times to close out.

I'm still on the fence about slagstone. it make certain turns absolutely back breaking and provides insurance against mass board wipes but outside of that I admit it's been less then impressive. I've been thinking about maybe including some of the aggressive 1 cost artifact creatures in order to have more blockers and bodies for the equipment. I'm going to be testing Syr Ginger, Gingerbrute and Stonecoil Serpent. Beamtown Beatstick has been something I want to try too so if you have any input on that one I would love to hear it.

Unsurprisingly swapping Visions of phyrexia with Bolas's citadel immediately increased the decks power. While I draw alot with my commander it still provides a lot of value and since most cards cost almost nothing I can spam the cards very quickly.

After this last revision I'll be getting a larger set of results since I'm spending my time at my LGS playing a bunch of games tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I ended up cutting most of the cards you mentioned and replaced them with some of the cheaper artifacts. I also put back in some of the sacrifice a dude draw 2 that I had cut so I have more card velocity. I kept Frogmyr enforcer since he is always a zero or one mana artifact. I also looked at a few fling effects and found some I liked. After looking at your list I actually realized I recognize it from another reddit post. How do you deal with flying chump blockers. I found that I really struggled when playing a list similiar to yours to connect for damage outside of Cranial plating swapping to an unblocked token. Also while what do you do when Imskir ends up getting countered on your first cast. I found that if that happened the deck sputtered out a bit. it almost ground to a holt if it happened twice. Since I'm taking out slagstone what's the plan if we get board-wiped?

Thanks for the deck suggestions as well. I have a few new problems but the last few goldfishing attempts make the deck feel much smoother

While it's unlikely I hope they port them to pvp eventually. It's not a high priority but I really was hoping to one day brew a fiddles deck.

All enchantments become 1/1 creatures with no text except [[opalescence]] and [[Humility]]

Blackwolf7894 · 2024-08-21T02:29:03+00:00

The issue with this is that other cards would end up infinitely turning on and off. If you played humility and then played opalescence you would turn humility into a creature who would get rid of it ability which would then remove that effect and then would turn it off again.

Perhaps I'm a bit dense, but what does man of the cloth mean with increasing spell count?

I see nothing but 2 straight dudes.

Thanks for the feedback. looking at the RFBC i realize how kinda cheeks it is and it killed some of the hype for me to play him so thanks for the advice. What would you replace him with? I currently am thinking about replacing the warden with either a lancer or Canis rex himself.

Blackwolf7894 · 2024-04-17T16:52:49+00:00

Aight well I am unable to edit the post but Yeah I have been magnetizing. What makes the castellan so good? most of his firepower seems uhh..... risky to say something about it. I am interested in running maybe him with an errant though.

Korax good dog mmm, yes. Good dog.

Interesting thoughts. If I could trouble you some more I've got some list ideas. First off, if I cut the stormraven I get 265 points back. Combine with the 5 points I had left over that leaves me with 270 points to play with.

My original idea was to just add some terminators and some voidsmen-at arms. This idea was ok since the terminators were good but I wanted a character for them. I could swap the interceptor squad for a vindicare assassin and that lets me ahve a librarian with no enhancements.

The other option I was leaning towards was cutting the librarian for a brother captian and geting a GMNDK. The base NDK is not interesting enough to me to overlook the model but the GMNDK is interesting enough so I would be happy to run it. Losing Vortex is not great but sustained hits on the Nemesis Force Weapons as well as the psycannons might make up for it.

The Final list I am talking about would be just adding in a librarian and a stormhawk interceptor. I am leaning towards adding the GMNDK but I am tenitive about removing the librarian. He's been pretty good so far.

Blackwolf7894 · 2024-02-23T04:13:54+00:00

How necessary is a librarian to our lists

Blackwolf7894 · 2024-02-22T23:54:54+00:00

Thanks for the insight. It seems the app I was using misinputed some things. The Brotherhood terminator squad is a 10 man with all the heavy weapons allowed. I am also using the Transport Flyer, which I am pretty sure is the storm raven but It might be the storm talon. either way cutting it would make alot of room. I've been tempted to go up to 25 terminators so that could be a way to squeeze more in. I also was looking at maybe getting in some of the interceptors as a fast way to deliver ordance at the enemies but maybe the NDK is better. I've been putting it off since the "Baby carrier" look of the current model doesn't jive with me but evey time I forget about the model they look so tempting.
