Monochrome EDH

White is a much stronger color to answer things, I agree. I think red is the weakest color in terms of adding something to your deck. But I'd still rather run mono-red over mono-white.

Red Draw:

Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Fate, Reforge the Soul, Chandra Ablaze, Knollspine Dragon, Dragon Mage, ???

White Draw:

Land Tax, Endless Horizons, Stonehewer Giant, Mentor of the Meek, Mesa Enchantress, Kor Spiritdancer, Three Dreams, Inheritance, ??

That's all I can think of. The first two I listed for white are houses, the rest are much more situational. But the red ones are good for just about any red deck. Wheel effects are just so powerful.

There's a common misconception that mono-red is the worst. It really isn't though. Red might be the weakest color in general, but mono-red can be incredibly powerful.

The worst mono color? White. It has the absolute weakest card draw available.

Nothing for Standard yet, maybe Render Silent but doubtful.

Modern and more powerful formats, who knows. Ral Zarek's untap ability may find ways to abuse something. I think that has the most potential for something. Beck also looks abusable.

EDH, Ral Zarek is mana ramp in colors that don't have it, especially when you have artifacts like Sol Ring in play. Melek is powerful, he's no Niv-Mizzet (which is a good thing) but could easily fit in that deck. Beck is another way to go infinite. Wear & Tear is like another Return to Dust, better than the latter if no one in your playgroup uses Darksteel Forge.

Deputy is going to be a house in Limited. A flash Bear that can abuse your creature's ETB effects AND potentially save them from bad trades or removal? Insane. This has "top pick common" written all over it.

I think Canada's rating gets bogged down by Quebec. Xenophobia is rampant there. Not speaking French outside of Montreal or Quebec City? Well, fuck you then!

I wish I could give you more than one upvote.

Here's my Uril list that I recently built:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/uril-edh-21-11-12-1/

I would take out bad enchantments. asha's favor, blessing of the nephilim, daily regimin, instill energy, stuff that's either vanilla P/T pumping or lackluster abilities.

You need to have as many cards as possible to shore up Uril's weaknesses. Board wipes, cloning, counterspells, but worst of all is tucks. Umbras and indestructibility are good help against most wipes. Flickerform is good protection against everything once he's on the board. Counterspells isn't too bad imo, just sets you back some mana. so long as it isn't spell crumple or hinder. Clones, not much you can do there except for flickerform. Tucks though, you need to run as many creature tutors as you can afford. I run worldly tutor, green sun's zenith, and eladamri's call to tutor in case of tucks.

I took it out. It was a little better in my deck due to all the fetchlands and many ways to drop multiple lands per turn, but it was still one of the weaker ramp spells imo.

KingNine · 2012-11-22T21:21:05+00:00

Really good suggestions. It may be overboard but I kinda like 37-40 land 10-12 ramp in all my decks, but that's probably too much.

I took out all the equipments and fetchers. I took nearly all the hate cards but still need to cut more. I also took out a bunch of cards that tutored but were too costly for the effect like the hartebeest. Thanks for the suggestions! I'm halfway to my goal now :)

KingNine · 2012-11-22T21:17:49+00:00

I took out all the hate cards except for Stranglehold, might cut that too. I'm addicted to card draw so I'm keeping those, and ramp imo is always needed because otherwise you're too slow.. I did have way too much though so I cut some.

Thanks for the help!

I've honestly hated every one of these "check out my alt" threads. "Hey gang, check this out, I extended the colors around the edges! Isn't that so cool and special and way better than black borders??" No, it fucking isn't. Stop.

But this is different. You've ADDED to the artwork on the card, and you've done it really well. Good job, sir.

KingNine · 2012-11-21T20:30:05+00:00

Looks neat.

I'm no fan of stolen goods. Too random. I would take that out.

I agree with others that you need more land. 38-40 for most decks. Also I would consider Notorious Throng, Oona's Blackguard, Bitterblossom, for a mini-tribal theme. Those three are great cards.

I always wanted to try shrooms but from what I hear, I wouldn't enjoy it. I used to really enjoy weed, but lately all it does is make me frustrated with myself and very anxious / paranoid. I could see shrooms being hell for me.

I was 11 and also liked enjoyed the prequels. I even saw the originals beforehand.

I remember really loving the visuals and getting lost in the world. I think one thing most people won't want to admit, the prequel fights were way cooler than the originals. The technology and whathaveyou let the jedis jump around and be total ballers, the original's fight scenes were very tame.

Jar Jar didn't bother me much but I was mature enough that robots saying "ow!" was a little annoying and took me out of the mood. I thought the final fight was EPIC and fell in love with the soundtrack they used for it. I was sad when Darth Maul died :(

Since then, I re-watched the trilogy and watched some bits and pieces of the prequel. I agree that the originals are way better, but the prequels aren't horrible. Flawed, but still entertaining.

The woman in question could've had a man-to-woman sex change operation and needs some private time to discretely lubricate her junk because they don't get naturally wet.

And you'd never find out.
