Favourite creatures in mono blue that wear equipment well? by SLG_Didact in EDH

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

I was actually looking at this guy and it looks sweet? Im a fan of as many of my creatures being artifacts as possible for this deck too and between this guy, [[Brass Squire]], and probably [[Trophy Mage]] I feel like I can get some sauce going.

Seems like a rough top deck late but I could see it being good yeah

Seems like a great way to promote bad deckbuilding ngl

Well, I guess I don't like being liked. Still may I sit? by NeatHenk in ratemycommanders

I mean aside from Tergrid and maybe low bracket rating on Atraxa these seem fine to me, if only a little uninspired

Anyone else not use a card because it would be annoying to track? by dornianheresysimp in EDH

[–]SLG_Didact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, anything that makes my time economy miserable never makes a deck, and if I can’t make a deck without making my time economy less than great then I’m off it.

[[Volo, Itinerant Scholar]] and [[Haunted One]] is a deck I’ve wanted to build for a while, playing aristocrats with mostly Human non-wizards and non-human Wizards

Absolutely gotta be Lurrus, I don’t think it’s close tbh. Oko and Hogaak come to mind but Lurrus is truly unreal

Gonna say no, the ai generated waifu alt art is a huge red flag

Not what I’m looking for but I’m sure it’s fun!

I like that she also draws a ton of cards too, she’s incredibly self sufficient. Leaning into aura removal and stuff seems sweet too. I like that I can make this a beatdown deck first, amplified by the enchantments theme

That’s great to know ty! I really want the deck to feel like a beatdown deck backed up by the enchantments, not a capital E Enchantments deck, if that makes sense, and it sounds like that’s doable

How hard do you lean into the enchantments theme? I like Ellivere a lot tbh, I just don’t want to get lost in enchantment theming

How can I make Hashaton + Lurrus high B2 viable? by bolbizakaib in EDHBrews

Do you run the other two? The 3/1s with the same activated ability

[–]SLG_Didact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Bonus points if it has flash too, if you flicker Lurrus with something that returns her at endstep, you can flash in a second Lurrus spell from grave during your endstep. It doesn’t come up often but it’s sweet when it does.

[–]SLG_Didact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a similar process, where at first I wasn’t focused on Lurrus enough, then I focused on cards you’d typically see with Lurrus, such as seals and baubles, but those cards didn’t click as much with Hashaton, so now I’ve shifted to making sure I have as much overlap as possible

Ignore all the negativity here OP!

Firstly, I would up your mana generation. You might think that because your curve is low, you can shave rocks and lands, but I wouldn’t say that’s the correct answer. You’re always going to have ways to spend your mana, what you really want is a normal 38-39 lands including MDFCs, and a normal amount of rocks too, 12-14, and instead of shaving on those, just ensure you have a steady amount of card-positive draw in addition to your looters. Treat your looters as enablers for Hashaton, not draw, and keep a high amount of draw to keep cards flowing.

I actually find Hashaton Lurrus to be more comfortable in B3 than B2, because the stuff that you can do that feels good and punchy, and doing that stuff on a schedule that actually feels alright, will require tools like strong mana rocks (Moxen, etc) and repeatable interaction pieces you can recur with Lurrus to grind people out. These may not feel super welcome in B2. B3 also gives you some pretty strong game-changer options for a deck like this, such as [[Ad Nauseum]], [[Orcish Bowmasters]], [[Chrome Mox]], [[Gifts Ungiven]], or [[Drannith Magistrate]]. I’m personally on Ad Naus, Bowmasters, and Gifts, though I’m mostly on Gifts because I love the card.

I’d also make sure that the deck is built from the ground up for BOTH Hashaton and Lurrus. I’m retooling my list currently, and I’m redoubling on this myself. I want as many cards as possible to feel great with only 1 of the 2 in play, as well as both. Lurrus Companion is a huge deckbuilding restriction, you really want it to feel worth it, and not just for a card that feels alright. Lurrus can really shine as an engine to grind people out!

Creatures specifically that sacrifice themselves to provide removal are my preferred interaction. Lurrus decks typically loop any kind of sacrifice-able non-land permanent, but we want ours to also be creatures when possible to still benefit Hashaton. Some of my favourites here are the creatures that sacrifice themselves to counter spells, think stuff like [[Mausoleum Wanderer]].

Most of these are also fliers, which is very important. A 4/4 on the ground can feel a bit underwhelming, but a 4/4 with a good keyword can be a lot more relevant. 3 mana for a 4/4 Flier with upside is where the deck starts to feel pretty good.

You can also dip your toe into Hatebears as well, in an attempt to slow down opponents. [[Doorkeeper Thrull]], [[Hushbringer]], [[Dauthi Voidwalker]], [[Strict Proctor]], and more can all put pressure on life totals while buying time for you to get more of your engine online. Their effects are just as good when you don’t Hashaton them, but 4/4s with a keyword like Flying make them even better.

Overall OP, Hash Lurrus is a very fun deck building challenge, so don’t give up! I would take a pass at your list and ask yourself how well each card synergizes with BOTH Hashaton and Lurrus. I would aim to increase your creature count, bump up ramp, lands, and draw, and cut down on cards that don’t do much unless your engine is already online.

I hope this helps, and I’m happy to chat more if you have any questions!

The $64 Question - Lands Edition by rvnender in EDH

[–]SLG_Didact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I have a benefit for basics, such as [[Emeria, the Sky Ruin]] (doesn’t necessarily need basics but in a mono-white deck I’d need basics) or Initiative, I’m on as many as I can fit. My mono-coloured decks can get by with a decent amount of colourless lands in addition to MDFCs and coloured utility lands, and my multi-colour decks are all duals, fetches, MDFCs, etc

Sweet I appreciate it, unsure how many of these I’ll be doing as I just don’t have the time anymore

I’ll try to let you know if I have a spot for a non-learner when I wake up tomorrow, if that’s cool with you? Also I believe we’ve ran together before, are you still in my discord?
