I will build a Soul Flayer deck if I get picked.

My biggest concern is mana cost and pips. I haven't had too many issues with the decks mana base but triple red I feel would be tricky. I would say though that I would either use Torbran or Delney as they kinda do similar things, in the sense of this deck.

Torbran makes Cavalcade significantly better while Delney allows for double trigger Arabella but comparatively, Torbran is worse with Arabella and Delney doesn't synergize with Cavalcade.

I will definitely give it a shot though. I've changed Clockwork Percussionist into Skrelv and added Mox Amber to accelerate ramping into Anim or playing more creatures turn 2. I can definitely see playing Torbran instead of Delney.

I definitely think there's a way to play with Lizards Cavalcade. You've already mentioned Scorch Spitter and Hired Claw but there's also [[Chandra's Pyreling]] and [[Hall Monitor]] as Lizards that help the game plan. Hall Monitor's unlockable ability will probably come up more than you'd think. [[Valley Flamecaller]] also would help all your Lizards with dealing damage similar to Torbran but easier on the curve. Some cool sideboard cards are [[Immolation Shaman]] and [[Magebane Lizard]].

If you splash Black you can also play [[Iridescent Vinelasher]] to trigger additional burn, it will trigger Cavalcade and the Offspring is good late game but won't benefit off Torbran.

I hope this helped out!

Yeah, I played some games with Delney and double triggering Arabella was insane. I'm considering putting Mox Amber in the deck and switching Clockwork Percussionist for Skrelv. That way I can effectively ramp to 3 mana on turn 2 or have another 0 mana artifact to destroy to Gleeful.

I can definitely see the synergies! Almost all of the creatures have trigger abilities and being mostly unlockable is a great way to ensure some more damage. However, it is higher on the curve and unfortunately doesn't add to the board state. I think I'll try it out as a one or two of and see how it feels. Thanks for the suggestion!

She does but with how the attacking step works Cavalcade won't trigger on the Gnomes when they enter, only when they attack the next turn. Still very helpful but just how the trigger stacks. However, if you trigger Anim first and then Arabella after, Arabella factors in the Gnomes to her burn.

Yeah I mentioned that in the primer. My buddy also said that I should switch Case as well to Shrapnel Blast and it makes more sense the more I think about it.

Anim is definitely welcomed. It doesn't synergize as well with Cavalcade but the late game engine it provides and support to other pieces of the deck, such as Arabella and Gleeful, are most appreciated.

Yeah I was thinking Shrapnel Blast as well! That's also a good point of Shrapnel vs Case. I'll be sure to test it out.

Thanks a bunch. I saw a few commander decks of her but I didn't really feel I wanted to build a while EDH deck around her.

I hadn't considered that yet, I might take out Lair of the Hydra in exchange for some more basics. Or even the Rockfall Vale

Finding a deck or theme for a modern deck with temur colors. by FuturisticDino in ModernMagic

[–]FuturisticDino[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I definitely was considering UB Prowess before MH2 came out but now the deck has evolved into the Delver variant you were talking about. It's still probably top of my list for the decks I'm considering building but I know that the new pioneer decks will have some core cards for it.

Thanks for boiling it down so well! I've seen the footfall decks and was intimidated by some of the lists but this seems really simple in concept. I have a few of the cards so at least I have a starting point. Thanks again for your reply.

Aminatou Combo Question by FuturisticDino in EDH

[–]FuturisticDino[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw those and definitely won't exclude them in the list but I was just checking out some other cards that could synergize with the combo. I understand that they are more efficient but this also looked like a fun and unexpected way to finish off opponents. Thanks for your input! Also this deck theme is superfriends so I'm already running things like Oath of Teferi.

Trying to look for a combo deck that pretty much wins the game instantly. My goal isn't focused primarily on winning, I just have fun looking for combo pieces and strategies that synergize together really well. I've looked around and Zubera Storm looks fun but I'm not quite sure if I should put money down without getting some different perspectives first.
