I didn't know that card existed, I will definitely pick one up. Thanks!

I just looked through my own Bruna EDH deck and found a few of my cards that I have in here that you might want to put in yourself.

Cavern of Souls to prevent your Bruna from being countered, since she is already pretty heavy to play

Prison Term to remove some of their pesky creatures while you set up for Bruna

Champion's Helm hexproof, enough said.

Burnished Hart helps you put Bruna out two turns sooner.

Mesa Enchantress great for card drawing while you are building up for Bruna, you also get the bonus if your play an enchantment creature like the ones from theros

Fate Foretold nice drawpower.

Ordeal of Heliod Ordeal of Thassa both cards have their own great effects, but paired up with Bruna's return from grave effect just pops them immediately if she has counters on her already.

Steel of the Godhead Bruna gets +2/+2 lifelink and unblockable.

Chosen by Heliod Drawpower

Aqueous Form I like the ability to predict what I will be drawing, plus Bruna will be unlockable.

Murder Investigation if Bruna dies in any way, you will have at least 5 chump blockers until you put her up again.

Battlewise Hoplite or any creature with a decent heroic, that way you can enchant them before you get Bruna so that your turns don't go to waste.

Thassa's Emissary or any creature that has a bestow, if you don't have Bruna out yet, they are on the field and can block and attack, when she is out, you can enchant your Bruna with them,

Umbra Mystic Totem armour, on every aura.

Some good suggestions, thanks.

On a rule note though, I don't think Bestow/Enchantment creatures work reliably with Bruna, Light of Alabaster because she pulls "Auras" and they aren't Auras unless they were cast for their bestow cost. So if you already had your Battlewise Hoplite enchanted with Thassa's Emissary you could pull it to Bruna but if it was in your graveyard or hand you could not.

That is true, but I don't rely on the bestow creatures as enchantments, for me they are there as creatures leading up to Bruna, and if I have them in hand along with some extra mana when Bruna is on the field they are just bonus points then. The entire idea is that you have options, so you're not stuck with a single use card.

Is the title of this deck a reference to Dragon Age???

Perhaps i missed something, but Mind Control is surely Corrupted Conscience right?

December 27, 2013 9:10 p.m.

Insanity101Z says... #10

Or Mind Control is clearly Treachery . I just feel like I'm cheating when I run infect in EDH.

To each his own i guess.

possibly Auratog ?

Insanity101Z says... #13

Yeah that's a cool card, but what I really want right now is more card draw. If you think Auratog works better than a specific creature then I might make the change. So what should I take out?

Ari_de_Leon says... #14

Gitaxian Probe , Mishra's Bauble , Chosen by Heliod , those are just a few I can name off of the top of my head.

but if the reason why you want to draw more is for mana, I would consider also adding Opaline Unicorn and Traveler's Amulet

Also, what role does Vanseer play? If this was a heavy ETB effect deck then sure, he is awesome, but otherwise, he is just annoying.

I want to have plenty of ways to ensure that Bruna will be unblockable when I swing for the win. Also I find he provides some nice utility, and his -8 is just hilarious. I am going for more card draw to get my enchantments faster/more reliably. I don't typically have mana problems.

Ari_de_Leon says... #17

Mhmm, Would like to try against you with my Derevi EDH.

Interesting I didn't know of that combo.

I'm not a big fan of Mesa Enchantress , Kor Spiritdancer , Sigil of the Empty Throne , etc... because I find I typically only "cast" three or four enchantments a game. I "play" upwards of ten per game but they are not technically cast (to my understanding of the rules).

When I originally made this deck I had Enter the Infinite in my deck (and I'll agree that it combos well with Bruna and Empyrial Armor /Righteous Authority ) but I think I was able to cast it once out of fifty some games based on mana cost alone.

I like Windfall , Totem-Guide Hartebeest , Auratouched Mage and Copy Enchantment but I really don't know what I would take out of my deck at this point.

If you are looking for draw, Jace's Ingenuity , Opportunity , Blue Sun's Zenith , Staff of Nin

Dreamscape Artist turns any aura (or other card) in your hand into a Harrow - which isn't draw, but it is deck thinning. Which means your draws will be better.

Also, the Sphinx in your maybe board not only tackles the problem, but is probably the best blue creature in the game.

For card drawing might I also suggest:

Recurring Insight and Tidings are also very strong card draws for blue. Mystic Remora has a lot of potential for draw in a multiplayer game.

Looks like an interesting deck so far!

I played my Azusa deck against this a few times and it was okay. I would suggest a few more response cards both to protect bruna and to stop any big threats and there werent problems getting mana but there were problems getting mana fast. I would recommend adding in mana rocks like sol ring, mana vault, basalt monolith, etc. I never had trouble getting bruna out on turn 6 but i never got her before turn 6.
