Ever considered using Pariah? That way, Uril can play both offense and defense (once he is big enough or has indestructible).

And Worship too!

Those are two awesome defensive cards to consider Megalomania, cheers. Pariah in particular is a fun political card.

And the only two I can think of considering how well your deck is built. +1 from me buddy! Hope you don't mind me showing this to the Uril player in my playgroup.

Kind words, thanks Megalomania. I'd be honoured if you showed your fellow Uril guy the deck.

I've found when playing this deck that Aura Gnarlid is generally better than the Yavimaya Enchantress. Just take it into consideration.

I like it Rondoin. Yavimaya Enchantress isn't a crucial card in the deck, the main reason I'm running her is because of the enchantress sub-theme. I do like Gnarlid's evasion potential though. Maybe!

I like this as well, it's got a lot of cards I've never seen before, helps me with my Uril deck, Beast of the East. I don't know your meta, but mine always uses boardwipes and I've found Flickerform is probably the best answer, while Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, or Blind Obedience takes care of most creature heavy decks. Other than that, might I suggest Gaea's Embrace, Unflinching Courage, Vow of Wildness and Holy Mantle for straight ramp?

Thanks for the helpful suggestions metagrand209, much appreciated. I haven't gone for tax effects (prison, sphere etc.) in this deck yet but that's not a bad plan at all. I ran Flickerform for a while and although I agree it's a great defensive card, I kept finding myself never wanting to keep the 'just in case' 4 mana back. All of the pump auras you've listed are awesome, I'm just not sure what I'd remove to make way for any of them at this point.

I had a look at your Uril deck, it looks equally mean!

Absolutely bonkers, I would try Helm of the Gods to make ur Uril massive, plus maybe Mayael's Aria to make Uril bigger, gain life if you need it, and ultimately win cuz Uril just got too huge

Also, I don't think you have to worry about the Arcane Lighthouse allowing removal because technically Uril doesn't have Hexproof, he just has the ability worded out

Thanks iBurgerKing! I've been eyeing up Helm of the Gods for this deck, I'll give it a shot and see how it works in here. As for Mayael's Aria, I used to run it in here and it's definitely a viable win condition, especially with Privileged Position and/or Sterling Grove on the table. The problem is that it feels like a cheap win. After the 4th or 5th time winning that way, the eye rolls and evil glares simply aren't worth the anticlimactic win. I eventually took it out in favour of Uril pummel fests.

As for Arcane Lighthouse, it totally works on Uril. His oracle text is as follows: Hexproof (This creature can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.). Uril, the Miststalker gets +2/+2 for each Aura attached to it.

Sadly, Uril falls victim to the unforgiving glare of the lighthouse.

You could run Silent Arbiter along with Dueling Grounds for the sake of consistency. Cool Uril build, +1.

Ooh, I like that idea - Dueling Grounds is an all-star in this deck. Good call Wooshadoodle, thanks.

Np mate. Good luck with the deck!

Looks great! My one question; Is it difficult to keep him on the board? It seems like sending him to the command zone once is game over.

Hey, thanks shmevin11. That's the risk you take in most voltron decks, they're usually very general-centric. Uril's hexproof makes him resilient to spot removal but he is susceptible to board wipes - Indestructibility, Shield of the Oversoul & Darksteel Plate help in that regard. Sigarda, Host of Herons also negates any sneaky sac effects that also tend to plague Uril. I suppose the main threat are mass exile cards like Merciless Eviction.

Long story short, once Uril is out he tends to stick. Mana permitting, I can usually bounce back if he goes to the command zone a couple times during the course of a game. The janky new C15 land might also help in that regard:

That makes sense. I played tested it a few times and it seems very fun. I really like your card selection.

Thanks man, it's definitely a fun deck to pilot. I've been playing Uril for years now (my 2nd EDH deck) and I'm still not tired of playing it.

Another emergency card that can be used in a pinch is Boros Charm, although I usually use that for the doublestrike.

Jeez, it's almost like they heard us talking shmevin11:

Pretty damn awesome!

Looks like a great addition! Boros Charm seems fantastic. Extremely versatile.

Dig the deck man! +1!

Any advice for a fellow Uril player?

Thanks! Your list is looking awesome too SorinDankov. Apart from the abundance of mana dorks in your deck, we're running very similar builds. I'll make a couple of card suggestions that have worked out well for me over on your deck page.

It's expensive, but you are missing probably the most important card you could run, Cavern of Souls. I would also run stuff like Sylvan Scrying to find it.

I'd definitely play more ramp to start beating with uril faster. 2 cmc ramp is better than chromatic lantern too. Gruul Signet, Selesnya Signet and Boros Signet are great, as are Nature's Lore and Farseek. Fertile Ground is also good and has synergy.

Cataclysm is a stronger version of Divine Reckoning

Open the Vaults is worth considering

Abundant Growth costs just 1 mana, cantrips, fixes mana, and powers up all your stuff that cares about enchantments.

I don't think arcane lighthouse is worth the drawback of tapping for colorless, and it also gives opponents a potential hexproof answer if they run something like Confiscate. I'd rather have a basic land. I'd probably rather have a basic than the early game deadness of temple of the false god, too.

Cards to cut to make space: Iroas god of victory, soul snare, karmic justice, gift of immortality, eldrazi conscription. I'd also consider cutting aggravated assault as outside of the combo, 8 mana for a combat phase is quite bad

Cheers

Awesome feedback and suggestions metalevolence, thanks a bunch!

Thanks again for stopping by and giving your 2 cents metalevolence. You've given me some good food for thought!
