I'm definitely testing electrodominance. You're right on RR being tricky but I think we'll worth it in this deck. I'm testing it over stranglehold, which I think is a bit slow. It's good at what it does, but is often a turn late and a dollar short.

Sorry for the lack of updates on the list. Hopefully I'll have some updates posted by the end of the week.

Hey!

I made the reddit post about my performance with the deck and how much I have liked playing it

A few further things I have noticed:

The Strionic Resonator is great and I am adding it back in. As you said in that post, it gives you more options if you Godo up the hammer first.

Last Chance: This card being a sorcery is driving me nuts. I have used Final Fortune to steal several games from blue players at instant speed after a counter war about something else, and it makes me like Last chance a lot less.

In its place, I have been considering Sudden Shock. Something I have noticed is that a ton of decks play Lab Man combos, and this card can be played right after they go to draw (with like a brainstorm or something) and cause them to lose. It's a bit expensive for interaction, but it feels very strong right now. It also kills a lot of other important creatures that tend to tap to respond (like various elves).

Another card I have been disliking a lot of Possibility Storm. It just has felt too inconsistent for me, and a lot of the time I lose control over the board state. So, I am re-evaluating this card slot, too. In its place I am considering a soulbright flamekin, since the deck really does love red mana, and converting colorless to red is really helpful.

Was curious about your thoughts.

Yeah lol Samuel Beckett. 10/10 best deck name.

Would swiftfoot boots be good in some grindier matchups or is it unnescessary?

Is Mishras workshop worth it?

Swiftfoot boots is not necessary. Haste is not needed for the combo, and this is generally an all in combo deck. We don't need another dead equipment. We've discussed workshop a fair amount, and the consensus is generally no. While it does help the deck accelerate early, it doesn't help us cast Godo or any part of the combo. It is not a terrible choice by any means, and I've been testing it recently just to be sure. I'll add a bit about it once I've tested more.

Why did you keep Rite of Flame? T1 Rocks?

Is there a better link for that google doc, about the cEDH decks? Seems to be hidden or broken or something.

Rite of Flame is still a good ritual. It enables T1 or T2 Treasonous Ogre. Or turn 1 Blood moon with sol ring, vault, crypt. 1 cmc for 2 mana is good. While 2 cmc for 3 mana is not great(case for desperate ritual and the other one).

So you mentioned that you weren't too worried about Return to Dust , has anyone in your playgroups ran cards like Dust to Dust or Extract , Shattering Blow ? Just curious.

Have you looked at Untaidake, the Cloud Keeper ?

August 28, 2019 9:55 p.m.

p_diddy, It seems too narrow for the deck. While it can tap for godo, it is colourless, comes in tapped, and can't pay for anything else in the deck except a couple of equipments.

Under 'The Game Plan' section, there is a new section with a new mulligan guide for the London Mulligan. I have also continued to add honorable mentions for cards that have been considered under the 'single cards and categories' section.

You should really run Inspiring Statuary for the same reasons as Honor-Worn Shaku .

September 9, 2019 6:04 a.m.

Hissp says... #18

yax

Statuary can't help pay for Helm of the Host 's equip cost, which Shaku pays at least 2 of in addition to 1 for Godo.

September 9, 2019 2:04 p.m.

yax Yeah the Shaku is there specifically as a mana source that essentially taps for 3 when you go for any line that doesn't cheat the equip cost (tap godo and helm for 2 mana to help equip). Even when you do it is nice for recovery as you then have extra mana from tapping your equipments to combo again (both hammer and helm are legendary).

An excellent Primer on Godo. You played great in that tourney with Godo Insert! Thumbs up from me.

September 26, 2019 1:51 a.m.

I could have played better. :D

Currently testing: Irencrag Feat , Volcanic Fallout , Pyrokinesis , and Blasphemous Act .

Is there a reason you're not running the fetches?

October 11, 2019 9:12 a.m.

@Argentumarbiter, Yes. Fetches don't add that much to the deck, aside from with Top. Other people run cards like Root Maze, but the real issue is with Treasonous Ogre. Although there is spare mana there (13 when we only need 11), a single fetch reduces the mana the Ogre can make by 1, which limits our options and responses. It is our strongest card, and on balance, a small benefit with Top isn't really worth it IMO.

Any thoughts on Bolt Bend as additional protection for Godo?

Hi nice primer. What do you think of adding Endbringer for long games? It's a good draw engine (mana sink), kills tiny creatures and can make big indestructable creature not able to block (though this can be solve by attacking other players first but it's a good back up plan). Too slow?
