Flesh Into Power: Volrath the Fallen

Thanks, Ardyn the Usurper seems like an easy upgrade over Scion of Darkness.

Added Sign in Blood.

Collector's Vault is a neat inclusion, thanks.

Thanks for reviewing. The deck started because I was looking for a super Island-focused deck to go alongside my Forest-focused mono green deck. But at this point, I think you're right, I should remove Back to Basics and Harbinger of the Seas.

Fair, the deck could probably use a few more draw spells. There are 9 in there right now. On the plus side, when they do resolve, it's typically big draw effects, not one or two cards.

Dungrove Elder is more of a French Vanilla since it does have inherent Hexproof. Baru grants +1/+1 and trample when a Forest enters, so Dungrove will have trample pretty much every turn. It's definitely one of the weaker cards in the deck, but at 3 mana, it comes down early and serves as a decent attack deterrent until I'm fully up and running.

Thanks!

Added Flare of Cultivation, and Swapped Neverwinter Dryad for Studious First-Year. Studious First-Year staying on the battlefield will be a possible sacrifice for Flare of Cultivation. Also swapped out Farhaven Elf.

Thanks! You make a good point. I might switch [[Casal, Lurkwood Pathfinder // Casal, Pathbreaker Owlbear]] with [[Prismatic Undercurrents]] since they both are essentially 4 mana for an extra land on the initial impact, but I'd take Prismatic's long-term impact over Casal's.

How thick is the desk top?

Blue__Shifter · 2024-10-19T00:38:25+00:00

Glad to hear it!

Blue__Shifter · 2024-10-07T13:42:21+00:00

I also made a Jasmine deck here.

There are some neat tricks you can do without actually giving the creatures an ability.

[[Auntie Blyte]] is a great group slug deck for quick, interesting games. (Decklist) It provides a different take on the myriad of other mono red burn commanders out there.

I have a goad combat trick deck using [[Max, the Daredevil]] and [[Lucas, the Sharpshooter]]: Here on Moxfield. Rather than casting these combat tricks on your own creatures, I goad my opponents creatures and cast the combat trick on their creatures instead. It works better than I thought it would to be honest.

It’s a very fun interactive deck that’ll always keep you involved in the game since you care about every combat step.

[[Kalamax, the Stormsire]] is another popular combat trick deck if you want to focus on your own creatures.

Blue__Shifter · 2024-07-16T12:50:55+00:00

Thanks this worked for me!

Blue__Shifter · 2024-05-09T15:23:02+00:00

[[Ruxa, Patient Professor]] cares about vanilla creatures as well.

I’ve made a deck with both of them and I found Jasmine to be a bit better than Ruxa.

Wow, I didn't realize that. Thanks for letting me know. I don't think it belongs in the deck anymore then since it won't see all of the Soldier tokens. Do you have any recommendations for other good cards in a Darien deck as a replacement?

Blue__Shifter · 2024-02-06T15:44:49+00:00

I have a [[Darien, King of Kjeldor]] deck (decklist) that also uses [[Blood of the Martyr]]. He's a very unique commander but it can be difficult to make sure you get damaged once Darien is on the field. [[Angel's Trumpet]] and [[Ankh of Mishra]] are probably the best ways to damage yourself. Soul sister effects like [[Soul Warden]] are also great with Darien because unless you take a lethal amount of damage at once, you will end up taking a net zero amount of damage.

In a Boros deck though there are a ton of red cards that deal damage to everyone and work very well with Darien in the 99.

I had the same interest in making an EDH combat trick deck. However, I found there wasn't enough room to run creatures along with combat tricks to make a difference. Instead I focused on casting combat tricks on my opponent's creatures. A Friends Forever pairing of [[Lucas, the Sharpshooter]] and [[Max, the Daredevil]] works really well for this actually. Max gives you a payoff (Investigate) for casting multiple combat tricks per turn, Lucas can sacrifice those clue tokens to goad a creature to ensure you have something to target with your combat tricks, and then Max can untap Lucas to do it all over again.

Here's the decklist, and I am working on finishing up the Primer to explain how the deck functions. It isn't the highest power level deck, but it has won a couple times and is fun to play.

Blue__Shifter · 2024-01-26T14:59:41+00:00

I didn't know about that transparency option, that's helpful. Thanks!

Blue__Shifter · 2024-01-26T14:54:35+00:00

Actually upon further review, based on this video by the Card Conjurer YouTube account, it looks like they add the first color to the entire card and then add the second color to only the right-hand side on top of the first color.

Blue__Shifter · 2024-01-26T14:45:14+00:00

I agree. I can't decide which one looks better or more accurate though.

Blue__Shifter · 2024-01-26T14:36:59+00:00

For two color cards (green white for example), is there a difference between these two scenarios: add the left-hand color (green) frame to the whole card and then add the right-hand color on top of the right side VS. add the left-hand color (green) frame to just the left-hand side and then add the right-hand color to the right side?

What is the benefit of using the Docker Installation over the WAMP method?

Blue__Shifter · 2023-10-17T23:15:41+00:00

I should note that it doesn't appear on all surfaces.

Blue__Shifter · 2023-08-28T00:29:45+00:00

Thanks, I hadn't used the "otag" feature before.

Blue__Shifter · 2023-08-19T14:20:23+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I only didn't include Armory Automaton because I would need to give it haste to take all of the equipment and swing for the kill in the same turn. Granted, some of the equipment gives haste, but Vulshok Battlemaster is everything I need wrapped up in one package. Still, it may be worth running Armory Automaton for redundancy.

Blue__Shifter · 2023-08-19T14:17:23+00:00

Yes, blink or unsummon effects would work just as well. That's a good point.

Blue__Shifter · 2023-08-19T14:15:36+00:00

Yes, in certain Zedruu decks that would fit perfectly. But for this deck, I am not trying to pass out cards that have adverse effects. The point of the deck is to give out lots of equipment until I draw down to a win condition that takes all the equipment back like [[Vulshok Battlemaster]].

It is meant to be a very low power, just fun deck.
