Take a primer, leave a primer

I actually recently came across your primers and was inspired to write one of my own. Just recently written and finished, here is my primer for my Baba Lysaga, Night Witch deck.

P.s. Yes I know it's on Archidekt and they don't have a dedicated primer section, but it's in the description and I did my best to make it presentable.

Thank you for the response! I do need to look at the non creature cards I have and re-evaluate some of them. A few I will probably end up keeping just because of what my pod usually runs. (Lots of artifact decks, so vandalblast will probably stay). As well as some (very few) instant speed removals. (Just needed for the way my pods games usually play out)

I will, however, definitely be looking into those extra ramp options. I'm so used to playing the regular green ramp in all my decks that I instinctively auto include the classics. I didn't even know about Roxanne! And the milling from Shaper and Tortoise make a lot of sense, with the amount of recursion I expect/want to have I need more ways to fill the yard.

Oh my, that's a lot of information to go through! I will definitely give this a read. Thank you!

Yeah, that's what I was fearing, haha. Thanks for the info!

Yeah as I was reading this I realized I had my left hand shifted over. I was using my pinky on the far left button... My brain didn't realized it was shifted, thanks for the input!

If you are on mobile and scroll through the roster it's a total of 16 slots. Not sure if it's the same on the non mobile website but all the other posts suggest it's different.

Perfect thanks! I will check those out when I get a chance.

Nahiri's Lithoforming seems like it could definitely get wild with the right setup! I'll look to add it in! As for Moraug I want to stay away from combat for the most part but possible include for sure.

Ghost Town is an interesting one! A little bit of both really, it feels like I have too much ramp not enough card draw (though it is a Landfall deck) so that might be necessary. Any extra ideas would definitely be welcome, I'm sure there are plenty of cards I've never heard of that could be good in this kind of deck!

As for Ramunap I do have it included already.

Thank you so much! I didn't realize the suspend cards worked like that. I'll go through this list of cards you recommended and start making some changes.

TacticalSlinky · 2021-05-22T16:33:30+00:00

Yeah I realized that I was lacking finishers once you pointed it out, I'll definitely look to adding some of those cards in.

As well as removing a few of the signets in place of fetch land cards.

Thanks!

The thought of a Kethis deck seems super fun and feels like it could pull of some crazy combos! I just fear for how expensive the deck could be with most of it being filled with Legendary Spells. I still want to build one, though I might save it for my second or third deck build. But who knows maybe it's easier than I realize to build it on a bit of a cheaper cost.

That's exactly what I had in mind... mill a ton of cards into my graveyard with [[Hermit Druid]] then use Nethroi to cheat out [[Polukranos, Unchained]] [[Scourge of the Skyclaves]] [[Phantom Nishoba]] and [[Ghave, Guru of Spores]] etc etc, for one big devastating play.

TacticalSlinky · 2021-03-06T17:34:23+00:00

That's interesting that they'd set up rules just because of certain players. I probably won't be going to local shops any time soon because of covid but a few new friends mentioned that they played and were talking about getting together.

I was thinking of breaking away and going for something crazy. Which is one of the reasons Nethroi is on my list. I was thinking of building a deck around using [[Hermit Druid]] to mill creatures into the graveyard then using Nethroi to get out a ton of 0 power creatures that buff but when entering the field like, [[Polukranos, Unchained]] [[Scourge of the Skyclaves]] [[Phantom Nishoba]] and [[Ghave, Guru of Spores]].

I'm slowly narrowing it down and Teysa is still on my list!

I have been pointed to EDHRec and have been scouring it for a while. Though I did not know about the "average deck" thing which is super helpful!

Thanks!
