Decklist
Approximate Total Cost:
I do run the deathmantle / ashnods setup but mostly because outside of the combo I think they are desirable cards for this concept, it does need to hit some creature production as well which could possibly be achieved continuously via Genesis Chamber beyond hitting a low cost creature every trigger or delving into a bunch of token things. I really don't like infinite combos and while I won't completely refuse to execute them I generally try to avoid building in a way that its my goal. In a lot of cases I do opt to not execute infinite combos if I can help it just because I don't like winning that way.Mookie wrote: ↑1 year agoFWIW, MTGGoldfish recently featured a cEDH build of Ao that may be worth taking a look at. The main combo there is Ashnod's Altar + Ao + Nim Deathmantle, as it is here, but it's digging to Leonin Relic-Warder + Mana Vault and Relic Vial as its win condition. As a result, it's less focused on beatdown, and more on generating value / digging to its combo. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but could be worth consideration.
I am planning on putting this one away so I am not going to run through all of your suggestions but really I think that most 0-2 cmc permenants that can be fetched by Ao are fairly reasonable. Having played the deck some I don't think Mother of Runes is actually that useful just because most of the time I am sacificing Ao anyways so removal doesn't really pose much so it would be possible that it would be more for pushing for damage rather than protecting which I think is..... ok but not really why I would want to run those cards.NZB2323 wrote: ↑1 year agoSeems like a fun deck. I think you should consider these cards:
If your deck is all about finding Gift of Immortality then you can add Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor, and Heliod's Pilgrim.
I always have more projects and not all of my projects even end up as digital lists lol. I scraped together a Azor, the Lawbringer less lands concept thats a control / ramp shell trying to interact more with some combo decks I occasionally have in my new mets. I then also made a Orah, Skyclave Hierophant cleric tribal sac chain concept. And I also dusted off my Squee, the Immortal deck and updated it somewhat. I need to get some of the concepts up on here but some of it was also me not really knowing what was going to stick and just throwing some stuff together based on what I had on hand and seeing where it would go. I also have some thoughts that I want to dust off my Rebels and play it a few times if for no other reason to show off the sweet alters a few times to the new metas I play in lol.TheAmericanSpirit wrote: ↑1 year ago@ISBPathfinder Sad to see another concept sent to the great recycling bin in the sky, but hey, maybe circle back to Raffine and help me develop the concept more? I'm sure there's breakthroughs yet to make and the gameplay is oh so clean and efficient as you know.
