Brudiclad Artifact Army
Approximate Total Cost:
Current EDH deck. Trying to figure out any good cheap upgrades from here (this is my first/only deck so far, and I can't commit a lot of spare $$ to get the high-cost single upgrades.)
The primary ideas of the deck are a) make a lot of tokens, and b) turn everything into the biggest token I can make via Brudiclad. That second part is made more effective by a number of clone cards, like Mimic Vat, Prototype portal, Helm of the Host, etc. that let me make a token of my own or an opponent's creature, effectively stealing some strong effects. It's worth noting that Brudiclad can copy into any token you want, so there are some niche options like making a ton of treasure tokens, clue tokens, or even any artifact item you want via prototype portal.
I'm probably not gonna be able to get a lot of the +$20 singles that could push this towards competitive, but I'll be looking for anything to help streamline/strengthen this as a main deck for a while.
Any advice on where to go from here is appreciated, although I've def got a 'short list' of dream upgrades already;
Blightsteel Colossus, Cyclonic Rift, Vedalken Orrery, Skullclamp, It That Betrays, Contagion Engine, Darksteel Forge, Nevinyrral's Disk, Mycosynth Lattice, Rhystic Study, and Blasting Station/Summoning Station are all on my wishlist. Any of the obvious land upgrades kinda go without saying that I'll include if I ever get my hands on them, but I'm not expecting to unless they get reprinted for cheap.
