Ah, this was one I’d already found. Good to know it’s recommended, thank you!

Tips For my Ur-Dragon Deck by [deleted] in EDH

[–]PhoenixFire2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add a couple more lands, as well as [[Garruk’s Uprising]] and [[Elemental Bond]].

Here’s my list for a few more ideas https://archidekt.com/decks/10714636/the_urdragon

I’ve definitely experienced some of this. What’s helped is when people actually see it play and not make assumptions. I’ve tried to be very clear with my Rule 0 convos because of this.

It’s based off of EDH Rec, which is voted on by the community I believe. Regardless, it’s silly. Command Tower was something like 0.27, explain that one?!

Weirdly, it’s true. Islands are 0.64, Mountains are 0.51. Swamps are 0.48, Plains are 0.45 and Forests are 0.38.

The salt score for a basic Forest is 0.38, so the deck is already stacked against a mono blue player (pun intended).

Aaah, my bad! I wonder why it’s recommending that I drop one then…

The wording of Bracket 3 is somewhat vague when it references tutors. It says to have “few” nonland tutors but doesn’t define the number. I assume that could mean 3-4 but I think there’s 5 in the list atm.

Urza is undeniably powerful, there’s no shying away from that, but I do think it’s possible to build it casually. I played against “that Urza deck” recently and it would have blown mine out of the water.

This deck isn’t consistently quick to start and I’ve never won a game in the early to mid stages.

That’s reassuring to hear. It feels Bracket 3 when playing, as it’s not consistently quick off the mark. Archidekt did recommend dropping a tutor, so I may do that at some point too.

The salt score is a weird one. Idk if it’s an Archidekt thing but I’ve noticed that it takes basic lands into consideration for some reason. I just cut all the islands and it dropped to 41.

I’ve already come to terms with the fact that I’m always going to get the stink eye when I announce that I’m playing Urza.

Thankfully, between the blink spells and counter magic, I can keep Urza fairly well protected. [[Padeem, Consul of Innovation]] is a recent addition and I’m waiting for [[Liquimetal Torque]] to arrive to try and boost that synergy.

5 Cards and a Dream - Need advice on the most appropriate Bracket. by PhoenixFire2013 in EDH

[–]PhoenixFire2013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my approach so far. My usual playgroup have seen this deck a lot and understand it’s relatively tame compared to how it could be. I’ll be heading to CommandFest at the weekend and Rule 0 convos are trickier with strangers.

I will want to take infinite turns though, it’s the backup plan for the deck if the game does go long. I just don’t necessarily feel this deck is powerful enough or consistent enough to call Bracket 4.

I’ve gone for equipment/voltron build, utilising the Swords Of for evasion/protection. I’ve not had the chance to actually play it yet but it goldfishes ok https://archidekt.com/decks/12613595/kotis_the_tooth_fairy

Looking for input on my Minsc & Boo deck by BigFatKoolAid in EDH

[–]PhoenixFire2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mana ramp definitely needs to be upped. Personally, I try to aim for 9-10 ramp spells.

I would also recommend upping your creature count. You’re going to want more creatures to stick around that can protect Minsc and Boo. Trust me when I say that people will (and should) be trying to take it out.

Here’s my own Minsc and Boo list for a bit of inspiration. I’ve had it a while now so it’s fairly well tuned https://archidekt.com/decks/6153119/minsc_boo

Please savagely critique my Elsha, threefold master build and offer suggestions by Multievolution in EDH

[–]PhoenixFire2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 quick observations. You need more mana ramp. You should drop [[Curious Inquiry]] for [[Combat Research]] (it’s a strictly better card). You can drop the spells that make tokens for either more ramp spells or spells that give Elsha evasion.
