He's always on my mind. In my dreams, if you will. Only problem is, idk what I'd drop. :/ Thanks for the suggestion and please +1 if you like!

Very cool deck! My suggestions would be something like Hall of the Bandit Lord, Kor Cartographer, Silverblade Paladin and/or Trinket Mage (especially given how broken Mana Vault is with Brago). +1

Also Medomai the Ageless is a cool wincon with synergy and flavour with Brago!

Thanks for the upvote! :D

If I get my hands on one, I may add the Hall. The Paladin and the Cartographer are underwhelming for me. :/ Cartographer only hits 6 of my lands and Double Strike is great, but it's a little redundant. Also makes that target on my head wider. lol I ran the Paladin at one point, but opted for Battle Mastery in the end since I can fetch it with Heliod's Pilgrim. The Mage was also in my deck at one point as well, but I dropped it because it only hits 6 things in this deck. 6 things that I can tutor for or draw because of all the draw power this deck has. xD

As for Medomai, could you explain how it's a win con? :O

How does this deck deal with a Torpor Orb?

September 26, 2015 10:16 a.m.

KCisSICKnasty says... #6

By exiling it with Act of Authority, Oblivion Ring, Detention Sphere, or just outright countering it. :P

Fair enough, I've thought about Heliod's Pilgrim myself, but my deck is more artifact centered, and less enchantments.

Regarding Medomai, I guess its wrong of my to call him a wincon. He is sure to swing the game in your favour if he sticks, thats what I mean.

Another card I'd like to point out is Mystic Remora.

The Remora is on the fence for me. Not a fan of cumulative upkeep cards, even if Brago can reset it. I'm more a fan of Vanishing or Fading. lol

Bruh. You should have read my post on Brago's Vanishing Trick EDH.

Abduction (multi-purpose; if cast on their creatures, it's a control, if cast on your creatures, it's an umbra)
AEther Adept (cheapest creature that has the "return to hand" effect and fits CI)
Lone Missionary (cheap and lots of life gain - 10% of original every turn with Brago)
Phyrexian Ingester (expensive but ends games FAST)
Resolute Archangel (I'm dead? wait, nope. Assuming they have no ability to kill Brago or this, they have to burst you for 40 in ONE TURN.)
Rishadan Footpad (same logic as Rishadan Brigand.)
Stonehorn Dignitary (if they don't remove it, they don't get a combat phase)
Treachery (mana pump and control)

Additional stuff to consider:
Ancestral Knowledge (set number = 0 and you have access to the top 10 + your hand size cards)
Custodi Squire (force them to give your cards back to you)
Mana Chains (a card that makes their life a damn lot harder - that you can move around)
Musician (same logic. You have to pay 1 for each use because of summoning sickness though.)
Peregrine Drake (mana rock)
Singing Bell Strike (same reason, except this one doesn't delete itself when it does the job)
Suture Priest ("evening" the odds)

The "new" cards so you easily deny the rest (although I would like a short reasoning as to why you denied them previously):
Custodi Squire
Mana Chains
Musician
Singing Bell Strike

Also, what I meant to say on Singing Bell Strike was "same as Mana Chains."

KCisSICKnasty says... #11

So, I sat here for a half hour and typed a concise response to every card that you suggested, but the server went down as I went to post it and deleted everything I wrote. -.-

KCisSICKnasty says... #12

I'll try to shorten it. X_x

Abduction - better stuff to steal creatures. kind of redundant. good for 1 save.

AEther Adept - too specific. would have to drop actual removal for it.

Lone Missionary and Suture Priest - lifegain = target

Phyrexian Ingester - don't need it and too expensive.

Resolute Archangel - maybe, but the cost is off-putting.

Rishadan Footpad - don't need it. Brigand is fine. only want one. lol

Stonehorn Dignitary and Peregrine Drake - already in the deck.

Treachery - sure, but I'd tear my hair out figuring out what to drop.

Ancestral Knowledge - don't like cumulative upkeep cards.

Custodi Squire - if he didn't cost 5, maybe. other than that, my graveyard stays relatively small without anything I'm worried about getting back.

Mana Chains - they don't pay, it's gone. cant bounce it around.

Musician - too much time to set up. also creature specific which doesn't really appeal to me. I have lots of other ways to deal with creatures as is.

Singing Bell Strike - underwhelming to me. would have to drop actual removal for it. don't like that they can still pay to untap it as well.

Also, for Ancestral Knowledge, if I blink it, I have to shuffle. The whole purpose of even adding a cumulative upkeep card would be to blink and reset so I only have to pay 1. Just not worth it to me. :/

Hey nice deck, like the idea

Palinchron could be an alternative to Peregrine Drake, depending on the mana curve. Also Deadeye Navigator and Mistmeadow Witch could seem like essentials for this nice deck:)

KCisSICKnasty says... #17

Thanks for the compliments! (:

Palinchron is just too much mana. I don't need THAT many lands to untap. lol Great card though.

I really don't need sources of extra blink tbh. Brago does just fine.

Appreciate the suggestions though and remember to +1! :D

-1 Land Tax, +1 Pact of Negation

Good or bad idea? Anything you guys would suggest instead?

October 2, 2015 4:30 p.m.

KCisSICKnasty says... #19

Actually, Drowner of Hope might take it's spot. It looks very sexy to me. lol

October 2, 2015 8:51 p.m.

ZombieCat says... #20

Yeah, I'd take out land tax. You don't have enough basics to justify it..

October 2, 2015 9:03 p.m.

KCisSICKnasty says... #21

Done! (: Gunna playtest the Drowner. :D

DarkRequiem says... #22

Nice build. +1'ed too.

I'm going to take some of your ideas to incorporate into my own deck, if you don't mind.

KCisSICKnasty says... #23

Thanks for the upvote! :D I don't mind at all!

October 4, 2015 11:40 a.m.
