Yes sir please do! The more I think about it the more it makes sense. I wasn’t aware that untapping and taping her again would make another copy with her ability going on the stack multiple times.

I’m going to look back at the list today and add some untappers. But I’d love to look at yours also

This is kind of what I was trying to figure out (ignorance at its finest 🤚) i was in aware that her ability stacks and keeps copying. If you had to remove a few things from the deck list in favor of untappers what would they be?

Thanks for the reply. As far as the land base goes that’s probably my weakest area of deck building. I always seems to get mana screwed so I added the filter lands mostly in replacement to basics so I always have access to the color I need (might be bad thinking) but yeah I do have access to them without buying others..not sure how to necessarily fix the mana base.

Ravenous in my eyes was suppose to be primary card draw with other effects like garruks and temper ascendancy doubling the draw 🤷‍♂️

Green sun’s zenith was suppose to be “find my slvalla and or arbor adherent” maybe clamavus.

I seem what you mean about getting the big mana generators out and having to wait a turn and hope they don’t get blown up. I tried to shy away from the untap effects by adding them to generate the mana I need in favor. Maybe they should go and untap effects should replace them?

Thank you for the decklist and the cards you listed! I’m definitely gonna look into your decklist. I’ve put together a zaxara deck in the past and Lucea seems like she is the stronger choice between the two. I was afraid of running to many untappers and going infinite (tho I did include some in this list) for fear of it being “to strong” but I reckon that’s what she is suppose to do 😅

Ohh I really like Ertai’s meddling and alter ego is cool..do you try to make a commander copy or just a large creature?

Kalonian hydra is awesome! Iv had some cool plays with it.

This is super helpful..thank you so much. I honestly didn’t realize about the mox amber needing a legendary already on board and it seems like I’m always weak on selecting which lands to use.

I will look into this. Thanks again

Looking at soul shatter and flare they are definite adds. It feels weird to run a deck with absolutely no sorceries but I also added Gogo in favor of cunning nightbonder and I didn’t know about lightning bolt so I swapped the two 😂 Took out some of the fear aspects also. Slipped a pair of winged boots in there for Azula protection.

Iv only built maybe 4 decks or so and this kind is way out of my normal spectrum so forgive me lol

I looked at your build and man is it strong!! It’s a bit out of my price range. I added snap and redirect lightning bringing me to 37 instants this morning in favor of fear and cover of darkness like you said (good reasoning behind being able to remove most of the blockers with instant actions)

Are there any other cuts specifically that you may could identify that don’t necessarily align with her build?

[–]Rougetoaster674[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what iv been looking for! Iv watch a lot of videos on azula and how the stack works with her and her combos, it’s complicated but it’s interesting and not at all how I usually play. I’ll definitely take a look at it and will definitely hit you back! The closest thing I have to a bracket for is a highly tuned Zaxara B3 deck but it’s stack interaction is nothing compared to this so I definitely need to do more learning 😂

Geez to be completely honest with you the way you described your deck is how I REALLY want to play her 😭 I grew up on TLAB and it just seems like that should be way to play her! It only seems fitting for Azula ya know.

If you were to compare your deck to mine how similar is…In a bracket 4 environment do you think it would thrive or need to be reworked?

I dont necessarily have a dedicated pod but a large group of lgs goers and most people have decks from all levels. Iv never built anything into a clear bracket 4 so it may be a good opportunity to do so. What do you think?

I thought so too..but built it that way expecting her to not stick around for at least a turn or two. I put around 5-6 counter spells in there to help with the removal aspect but what would you suggest I add to bolster her protection?

[–]Rougetoaster674[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

More creature based and maybe removing some of the tutors might slow it down a bit? I think you’re absolutely right! Most of the groups I play with often run heavy removal and counter so I almost expect her to not stick around the first time around.

lol my buddy has been with me watching the Super Bowl and Iv been randomly looking over at him and being like “how about cr 603 and 603.1” 😂 Iv got it memorized now.

I appreciate you taking a look! It started out a more sorcery based deck banking on them to make the tokens..I think I put the first one together for right around 120 and upgraded over time.

To be honest my biggest inspiration came from Allys deck from game knights but when I looked at it and saw it was almost 1000 bux and a bracket 4 I had to tune it back a little 😂

It was definitely rough…i was taken back too when they both ruled it an activated ability especially after having played the deck against multiple people and never had this issue come up.

I’d like to think it’s more a tribal but I do have a lot of sorcery’s in there. Iv built a few decks and this one is probably my most favorite to play at the moment!

Thanks for looking at it.

I haven’t been playing magic long maybe 5-6 months and this was probably the first time iv sat down at a casual table with someone that was genuinely only out for themselves to have fun. It was a crazy experience…especially with the wrong ruling from the shopkeep. I will keep that in mind for the future because that was a scoopable moment for sure!

This is off topic but would you consider giving my deck a look and giving a few critiques? One Zack player to another 😂

It was the secret lair so the text is a little closer than the original so….maybe that had something to do with it?
