If you don't mind Infect, Corrupted Conscience is a thing.

Corrupted Consciente, Battle Mastery and Eldrazi Conscription: have two of them and you have a one hit kill.

@aekrusty i've tried most of those and they have been replaced as I played the deck more.

@lil_cheez Eventually our playgroup ill have infect, but for now it does not so I will hold off, thanks though.

QKNARWHAL I know how this works... let's play commander, it's fun and stuff untill someone goes to 10000 life points, or starts with the infinite combos, or starts land destruction lol then infect isn't unfun anymore

Bruna wears a Helmet...you have more control, mines more offensive. Compare the two and see if you find anything of use. +1 dude

KailDaemon, yeah I had to warp the deck to be very controlling due to the playgroup.

Alexi's Cloak - I like this, like a flash hexproof for 1

Stuff like Cavern of Souls and Tundra will be acquired eventually due to price.

Thanks for the ideas!

Yea cloak is really good. I like your build also since people like using my oloro deck in my play group so the counters balance out well in a counter war. Basically i built mine to be an attack first and win before anyone can do anything type deal. Built for speed with minimal control to allow bruna to be on the board safely for the inital swing to get the momentum going.

KailDaemon I've contemplated running Traumatize in the deck, thoughts?

Also anything else on the list you think doesn't belong?

Id drop propaganda, terminus, and narset...you already have a sphere and the miracle isnt really worth it, narset also isnt necessary, shes gonna get immediate hate if she even hits board....id run the teferi, austere command, and the alexi cloak...more control without harming yourself. As for traumatize, itd be a nice explosion but risky. If someone flashes a rest in peace against you youre screwed. Youre better to have your stuff in hand when bruna equips, safer that way and grave hate is too common no matter where you go. See if that helps

Fated retribution is too high a cmc...youd be better off running spot removal or another aura or aura grabber

KailDaemon Narset has won me a few games with her ult, Fated Retribution is high I might replace it with Fumigate.

Terminus is a meme and Propaganda helps alot with the aggro decks in the meta.

I understand the iffiness with Traumatize, that's the reason I haven't put it in yet.

Fair enough...idk what your meta is but if it works, keep it

The_Grape- Good idea but I am not a fan of to many creatures. Might run on of them to have a backup

Hi! I'm the sadist behind http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bruna-the-queen-of-alpha-strikes/

Your build is good. The only card that I'd recommend is Vanishing as a means of being able to respond to boardwipes and sacrifice effects after swinging with Bruna. Gift of Immortality is all right for dealing with it; but I invite you to consider it as another option. It's served me well for many years.

QKNARWHAL says... #19

Broliver, wanna start by saying you have the dream deck. I love Bruna and how much this deck has evolved. I still am working on cutting down useless enchantments with tutors and such.

Vanishing is good, would you say takeout flickerform for it?

February 13, 2017 5:45 p.m.

Broliver says... #20

QKNARWHAL Yeah I'd say make that switch for sure. Flickerform requires much more mana in order to activate it once; and you might need multiple activations to respond to a board wipe if they cast, say, Swords to Plowshares on top of the Flickerform activation.

Moreover, it opens Bruna up to being stuck in limbo to a trigger counter like Stifle or Trickbind (I'm pretty sure about this one) and things like Containment Priest (definitely sure that would hose you). Phasing can't be interacted with since unphasing is on untap phase and no one gets priority.

QKNARWHAL says... #21

Broliver Yeah im gonna have to go with you on that, another question I got is besides Academy Rector and maybe Merchant Scroll am I missing any huge tutors?

February 21, 2017 12:08 p.m.

Broliver says... #22

Intuition is by far the best aura tutor you can hope for. Instant speed, 3 mana, search your library for 3 cards and show them to an opponent. Opponent chooses one for you to keep and you discard the rest. You go tutor for 3 amazing auras; and it doesn't matter where they go because of Bruna's ability.

Also, Mirror-Mad Phantasm is a GREAT way to load up your graveyard with all of your auras.

February 23, 2017 11:24 a.m.

Alexi's Cloak is kind of dangerous to use, in so much that it prevents you from adding anymore auras to her. I would recommend Pemmin's Aura instead. You can activate shroud at your whim for better protection on Bruna.
