Brago Flicker-Flight
7 years ago
Hey, I saw your post on reddit!I myself have a Brago, King Eternal deck that I have put a lot of effort on. It's not perfect, but I win games here and there.
Take a look at it for cards that may interest you: EDH - Brago, Blink Eternal
Overall, your deck is lacking lands. You still need lands, regardless if you are running mana rocks or not. Check a couple of youtube videos on manafixing for 2-color EDH decks. I can link you to one in a private message.
Also, something I have learnt after playing a lot with our commander... he is hated. People will inmediatly try yo get rid of him.This means two things.
One, you need ways to protect him both from targeted removal and board wipes. I see you have some stuff already, but consider Cloudshift, Essence Flux, Long Road Home and Faith's Reward.
Two, you cannot depend on him to be in play. Think of him as an extra. Because of this, you need other ways to blink. Venser, the Sojourner, Eldrazi Displacer, Deadeye Navigator, and other blink spells are my advice. These last two go very well with your Peregrine Drake for infinite mana too. Also related to this! I recommend removing cards that are only good with Brago, King Eternal in play... such as Act of Authority .
Finally, and what shocked me the most... no Strionic Resonator? That enables the infinite combo that wins you the game. You just need enough mana rocks to give you 2+ mana, and a win con, like Venser, Shaper Savant, Thought-Knot Seer, Reality Acid, Nevermaker, etc.Hit with Brago, King Eternal, then copy his trigger with Sol Ring + Strionic Resonator , flicker them together with a win con, and then copy the original trigger again. Infinetely! You can also use Peregrine Drake instead of the mana rocks!

I didn't know about the Sol Ring + Strionic Resonator combo, holy shit that's good! Cyclonic is already in the deck and I hadn't thought about the Render Silent lock and I have 3 in my collection. I also have Cloudform so thanks so much for this comment!

Brago Bounce

Crystal Shard seems awfully inexpensive. Once you play it once people will know how to play around it so I never really found it useful. It's true utility is bouncing a target you control to your own hand and you can only do it once, so it seems narrow.
Obviously Sol Ring and Thran Dynamo are upgrades to look up for in the future, since mana rocks work brilliantly with Brago. Basalt Monolith is also really good, and in truth, any cheap mana rock that comes in untapped is added value.
If and when you get your mana rocks, especially Sol Ring get a Strionic Resonator and an Altar of the Brood. These are cheap and go infinite with Brago for a win con possible at turn 3. Other spells that work with infinite blinks from Brago, King Eternal and Sol Ring + Strionic Resonator are Thought-Knot Seer (which is still a bit expensive), and Cloudform + Lightform to manifest your whole deck until you find your Altar of the Brood for instance. Check out Oblivion Ring and Detention Sphere rullings too, since if you blink them infinitely with they're ETB ability on the stack, they aren't on the Battlefield when the triggers resolve, so targets are permanently exiled.
I've also locked some games with Render Silent. You can stop the more dangerous player from doing anything (it actually nerfs Narset, Enlightened Master decks) and if you have Archaeomancer you can blink it back every turn.
And this being EDH, Cyclonic Rift is everywhere, so, especially in conjunction with Archaeomancer blinking in and out, it has a place in there once you decide to make the investment.
Have a look into my deck, I hope my insights are of some help to you ;) +1 given

capriom85 I'm in the same boat. I love Brago but if he isn't faster than other control decks he tends to get shut down. That and people generally don't like the grindy stax route that I took. He is still fun...for me lol.
ComradeJim270 Brago forms an infinite combo with numerous things and you HAVE to understand how to work the stack. Sol Ring + Strionic Resonator allows you to copy Brago's blink trigger infinite times. The Resonator is Brago's best friend. Like I said earlier, with Cloudform/Lightform you can play your entire deck for free, of if you have another mana rock, Peregrine Drake/Cloud of Faeries, =infinite mana. That's just a slice of what he can do. Abusing the stack with Resonator and Oblivion Ring you can permanently exile threats.
