Taigam's Scheming to put hedron in graveyard and plan your draw step?

RuBuRuBu Should I replace Anticipate for those?

RuBuRuBu says... #3

I think so because Taigam's Scheming work like Anticipate already.

I wanted to make an exodia deck in magic for a while, I liked the cards since it was spoiled, I would suggest you use fetches (Flooded Strand), dual lands like Hallowed Fountain and Glacial Fortress maybe as 2-3 of. It gives you more constistency for your mana base and the fetches help out with deck-thinning.

Neoparshat I would use fetches, but I don't have that kind of money right now, and I don't think this is the deck I want to invest in right now either.

Also, Exodia? Explain...

Exodia was the first alternative win-con in yugioh- another card game, it works a bit different but kinda the same... you have to have 5 pieces of the card in your hand (2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head) in order to instantly win the game, so you play not around winning the board but around carddraw to win with your alternative win condition. Now, Hedron Alignment works different, but you have to play in the same fashion as in yugioh- now just in magic- to win with this card/deck, draw your pieces (Hedrons) and exile 1, field 1 and so on... So it feels like an exodia-type of deck

This looks hilarious if it works, good stuff. +1

what about Erase

Penga says... #10

Greater Auramancy? Doesn't Hedron Alignment already have, you know... hexproof?

February 10, 2016 10:32 p.m.

The_Redpill says... #11

Mocassinerie I forgot all about Erase... Thanks

Penga It's to give my other enchantments protection from removal as well

I feel like this deck would just be destroyed in modern... I mean affinity, or Elves, or Scape, or Living End would just wreck this... you need more control, I think your best bet is Detention Sphere however Banishing Light and Oblivion Ring are good alternatives; this way you can exile your stuff but also exile theirs...

Also you are playing a deck with Islands in it, "the greatest card ever printed", and you aren't even playing it the all of the reasons it's good. Blue is good because counters, draw, and general control, without that you are really missing out... I would like to see a cheap counter such as Counterspell or Counterspell or Counterspell

The_Redpill says... #13

DrkNinja Yeah, there will never be a way to make this deck in modern against all of the "staple" decks, but remember that Modern isn't made out of only staple decks. This deck would probably work in my meta, and a friend of mine plays a Hedron deck similar to this in the same meta and it works. Oblivion Ring would probably be good.

Also I want to point out that you said I should make it better for modern by using blue and then suggest that I use Counterspell, which isn't modern playable. What else would you suggest?

Mocassinerie says... #14

Have you think about some fog effect like Holy Day

February 12, 2016 12:42 a.m.

DrkNinja says... #15

It's funny cuz I thought that too, and then I checked tapped out and it says it's legal on the card's page... Weird. Cancel, Dissipate, Mana Leak and I still say Detention Sphere would be a better choice... It destroys creature decks also why not Preordain instead of Serum Visions, it's cheaper, low CMC, and I like knowing the card I'm going to draw.

DrkNinja says... #16

Also Consider Pillowfort cards like Crawlspace, Propaganda, or Ghostly Prison? Or if you want more creatures, Archangel of Tithes? Pillow fort goes nicely with this kind of deck.

February 12, 2016 10:53 a.m.

The_Redpill says... #17

DrkNinja I agree that Detention Sphere is better. I was already considering Ghostly Prison, and I've forgotten about Propaganda, so they might make an appearance instead of Lightmine Field. I'm still debating whether or not to put counterspells in it.

Mocassinerie if I were to run fog effects, I would rather have pillows, but I have considered it

February 12, 2016 6:06 p.m.

DrkNinja says... #18

Btw I think your best pillow is a card, can't remember the name, it's a white enchantment that says a player must pay where is the number of enchantments you control... it's the same cost as ghostly prison too so it'd probs be a better option

February 14, 2016 6:23 p.m.

DrkNinja says... #19

Sphere of Safety, I lied it's a bit more expensive. A friend of mine plays a straight white pillow fort deck in modern with Ghostly Prison + Sphere of Safety it's really hard to beat honestly...

RoarMaster says... #20

I dont think its worth running paradox haze just for the auramancers. A Ferropede does the same thing, is colorless, can effect more stuff, and can act as a chump blocker.

February 27, 2016 7:23 a.m.

The_Redpill says... #21

RoarMaster oh, I thought I had taken them out. They're just wasted space. I'll try Ferropede. Thanks

DrkNinja says... #22

Hey so after seeing your deck I decided to do my own build of alignment, any chance you'd mind checking it out?

You play hedron in legacy, cast hedron, respond by forcing your own hedron and pitching a hedron to force.

Bread1599 this isn't legacy though

neosapien says... #25

You think Inverter of Truth has any potential in this deck? If there is one left in your library, graveyard empty most preferably, you can put the one in library straight to exile. I feel this requires testing, plus I'm extremely biased cause eldrazi da best
