I wouldn't say Deadeye Navigator is useless even in this deck par se without tucking effects. Paired with Peregrine Drake for instance will produce infinite mana. Especially hilarious when paired with Venser, Shaper Savant. Not so hilarious when stolen and used against you for your opponent to generate infinite mana (which sadly, has happened to me lol). Not saying you need to include him, but he does have his uses :) People generally don't take kindly to seeing him drop on the field. But if you're "Brago'ing" right, no one likes you anyways lol.

I meant useless for me. x) lol Indeed, he is broken. Just didn't really need him anymore.

Glimmerpoint Stag has always been versatile for me just because he blinks any permanent--most blink is limited specifically to your creatures. He also exiles things until the end step, so you can keep things in instances of board wipes. Thanks for considering them, anyway :) definitely love the deck.

Yeah, that's definitely a plus. It's just because I don't exactly need to blink lands. Most board wipes, I save a counter for. lol If not, I am more than capable of coming back next turn. xD

What I've come to find about Brago decks is that there's rude and political. I blended both into this deck. People want me to run more stax, but that tips the scales towards rude. Don't want to be too rude or else my games will end very quickly with my friends scooping, losing, or teaming up to shut me down. With my build, everyone's indifferent about me. x) You don't know whether I'm going to exile that creature that's got everyone down or take it.

Thanks much for the appreciation! (: Means a lot!

I love it. Really, I was asking about those cards for myself because I'm working on a budget, law-flavored build with similar goals and just wanted some feedback. It sounds like I should keep that diplomatic-rude dynamic in mind. Great advice!

YOu helped me have a few more wincons with altar and mindseeker as well as adding drowner and a few other things before this i was just winning with blue sun or stroke of genious with infinite mana but it was very fragile

Hey, good pointers here. +1!

At some point I'm planning on making my version more combo-centric, and Altar is a great inclusion for that. Maybe consider Trinket Mage to grab Sol Ring or Vault to complete the combo with Altar + Brago?

KCisSICKnasty says... #10

Thanks for the upvote! :D Glad I could help!

As for Trinket Mage, I guess it just doesn't hit enough cards for me to include him. He's definitely cool, but I just cant find myself dropping anything for him. :/

Your build is really cool I like it a lot ! but maybe im not getting something with this precisly :

Turn 3 win:

Turn 1- IslandCard: Island, Sol Ring, Strionic ResonatorCard: Strionic Resonator

Turn 2- Plains, Brago, King Eternal

Turn 3- Altar of the Brood, swing with Brago, combo

OR

Turn 3- Plains/Island, Lightform/Cloudform, swing with Brago, combo

how does it work ?

MoonChild426: Basically, you attack with Brago. Brago's trigger goes on the stack. Use Sol Ring to use Strionic Resonator targeting Brago's trigger. That goes on the stack. You let the resonator resolve targeting Sol Ring and whatever else. They untap, use Sol ring to activate resonator targeting Brago's trigger which is still on the stack. Rinse repeat.

This applies to Lightform and Cloudform too but you target both the manifested creature and the enchantment so the enchantment enters the battlefield manifesting the top card. The manifested creature that was blinked returns to the battlefield face up. So your whole deck will be on the battlefield for free essentially.

Flagellum says... #13

Oops, left out that you target the resonator along with Sol ring when you copy Brago's trigger with Strionic resonator. Altar of the Brood will mill all your opponents since when they reenter the battlefield it triggers... Over and over again.

What they said. :P

Be sure to +1 if you like!

MoonChild426 says... #15

Oh shit.... didnt see this at all that your deck would drop on the field by doing the second method. I see the 1st method being a good one but still if someone has ulamog/kozilek/purity/hostility etc you dont insta win by playing with big players, but more casual players perhaps.

Flagellum says... #16

Well that's what the counters are for. This can easily hang with the big boys. You're talking bout T3 wins after all with a god hand. If you don't start with that God hand then there's plenty of other shenanigans to be had. Bounce effects, stax, ect. to garner your wincon

November 27, 2015 2:53 p.m.

KCisSICKnasty says... #17

Even then, it's happening infinitely. Sure, you get to shuffle your graveyard back into your library, but eventually, you will mill until that is your last card and I will end it there so you can draw that. :P In that case, my opponent will scoop. xD

November 27, 2015 5:11 p.m.

MoonChild426 says... #18

very true, im kinda not used to say such things as '' do you wanna do this until there is only 1 card in your library '' sounds cheesy to me :P

KCisSICKnasty says... #19

Usually my playgroup knows when I play Strionic Resonator, unless they have a response, it's gg. xD

Flagellum says... #20

Let's not forget that you are completely in control of the triggers so you can stop well before the last card :) that is, if you want to lol

First, I would suggest you reset comments. There are A LOT of them.

Second, what about Whirler Rogue? Makes Brago unblockable. And eventually after enough blinks can make your team unblockable as well as comboing and just being value. I'm also surprised there is no Stoneforge package. Is there just not enough room? Or do you not like Mysty?

November 27, 2015 10:38 p.m.

KCisSICKnasty says... #22

I had them cleared but removed the updates. I plan on cleaning them again. Thanks.

Whirler Rogue is nice. I can dig it. Just not entirely sure what to drop. Perhaps I could dump Aqueous Form for it. shrug

No need for the Stoneforge package. And yes, not enough room. lol I don't run a single equipment.

wwhitegoldd says... #23

What about removing drowner? they both produce infinite tokens with combo and it would lower your curve.

Nice deck by the way. +1

November 28, 2015 11:17 a.m.

KCisSICKnasty says... #24

Drowner of Hope has been a beautiful addition to this deck. It allows me to go infinite with Strionic Resonator since I can sac the tokens. It's also a good body since it's a 5/5. Can also use the tokens to shut down any shenanigans.

Thank you very much! :D

However, it's not showing that you upvoted. :P

There you go. Sorry, I forgot.
