Nah, what you wanna do with zedruu is to really abuse the aura enchantment rules, and turn her into a voltron commander. 3 Snow-Covered Island 1 Polluted Delta 1 Misty Rainforest 1 Zedruu the Greathearted 1 Volcanic Island 1 Plateau 1 Tundra 1 Arid Mesa 1 Flooded Strand 1 Wooded Foothills 1 Bloodsta...

Re: What is your most unique deck?

Most of my decks are somewhat unique(though I've come across at least one other here with the rakdos suicide build!) Zedruu voltron (small aura for power boosts that I can donate away for more cards) Rakdos the defiler suicide (all the tempo cards and life paying cards for minor upside that pushes t...

Re: Rakdos the defiler (cuts help needed)

I like the deck, it reminds me of my own rakdos the defiler list. Unless you're going for the idea of lich+repay in kind, I would remove the lich. You have no ways to gain life though the synergy with vilis could be broken. Same with havoc festival. I don't see what it does for you. It's basically ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Hinder

I don't think its all THAT bad, is it?

I mean its a 3 cmc counter, sure, but its still a hard counter that doesn't let your opponent use their yard.

That being said, it's been a while since I've put it in a deck. In fact, of the 2 blue decks i have, it's not in either of them.

Re: Shrine decks: can't live with 'em, can't stab their owners.

I probably would have done the same. If my opponent plays a card (i don't generally care too much about the card type) that says "draw 2 cards, and gain 5 life every turn", it has def got to go. Even if the deck itself is super durdly and doesn't do anything (exception being if the deck is...

Re: Threat assessment: The player or the deck or both?

I kinda think in this order most of the time: 1. What I know of the deck 2. The game state 3. The player piloting it. My playgroup has been toning it up somewhat recently, so just knowing what the deck is like plays a lot in my threat assessment. It's usually the deck that limits what the pilot can ...

I'll just echo what most people have said here. I've a lord of tresserhorn "when this dies" tribal. And a rakdos the defiled suicide aggro deck. And a zedruu the voltron deck. None are competitive in the sense that they'd win tonnes, but they have their moments! I'm sure there are better g...

Day of judgement isn't necessarily worse; if you run some general with regenerate, then day of judgement is like a one-sided wrath often enough.

Re: Playing by your own rules: Suicide deck

To be honest, I have a rakdos the defiler suicide aggro deck that occasionally kills itself. Sometimes, it's a demonic consultation gone wrong, or a lich that lands too early.
The goal is never to actively lose though; more actively pushing the game forwards. Tempo at the expense of life and cards.

I've only really used the black one in a demon-tribal deck. But it didn't end up being good enough.
