I really love Sharuum the Hegemon, in my deck I use Artificer's Intuition with a lot of cmc1 artifacts and it's useful to discard combo pieces too!!

Meekstone is another great artifact that could help you to survive.

Anyway +1!!

I'm not sure where he fits in. To make him truly efficient I'd need to add other combo pieces. In my current shell he's just a blocker. Unless I missed somthing.

Did I miss something?

Ooo... Meekstone is a great idea. I'll look into that. Thanks for the upvote :)

Artificer's Intuition??Just think.. you can discard a Magister Sphinx, a Phyrexian Metamorph to search for capsules, spellbombs, Sol Ring, Sensei's Divining Top, Altar of the Brood.

Discard a Phyrexian Metamorph to search for Altar of the Brood, then you win.. but no problem if you don't like it!! =))

Crap-balls! I hadn't seen it that way :pThanks for reinforcing the point.

Yeah, you have got more 0/1cmc artifacts than me, it could work very well as ramp too!!

Discard an artifact to take a Seat of the Synod, play it and tap, discard another artifact to take Sol Ring, Mana Vault.. it can be used in a million different ways!!.. and if you've got Etherium Sculptor in the battlefield you can play all 1cmc artifacts for free.

Look at my deck if you're searching for ideas!!"The soul is only as eternal as I say it is."

if you are trying to win against a turn 1-2-3 consistant hermit druid deck... this isn't it.

If anyone here is good with html, is it normal that header tags (#) dont work between < summary > tags?

KillTheIslandUser Yeeah... Nothing matches up against a top notch hermit druid deck... I'm aware of that. But I've seen some sub-optimal ones. And I like my chances against Niv-Mizzet or those pesky Enter the infinite / Lab Maniac combo decks... And so forth. I always say there is only one Tier one EDH deck. And that is Epochs hermit druid.

Not saying it's a bad deck, but I'm saying you need more answers that are 1-2 drop and instant speed. You also need a bit of grave yard hate. Also I'm not a fan of memory jar in a deck that can't protect itself. You are letting them draw as well remember, any instant speed or new counters will screw you. You might want to get Grand Abolisher type effects in here.

Your deck isn't an all im combo deck. So you are looking to stay on the table for a bit, get combo pieces ect. You aren't Ad Nauseam or a hermit druid deck (which even they still have other ways to win besides their usual combos). It's more control and combo, but you don't have enough control aspects, to slow down those players who are just going off right away.

I do have recurrable easily tutorable Graveyard hate. No worries there. I don't particularly need to protect my combo at all cost, seeing as I can just recur the combo pieces and fire-off over and over. I do see the issue with needing to disrupt potential combos earlier than T5. Although I'm not too sure how to pack enough counters to consistently start with disruption in hand without slowing my own combos down several turns.
* scratches head *

Where would you cut to up the control package?

May 20, 2015 3:14 p.m.

You don't need counters to stop them. You also can't run force, or misdirection, as your blue sources are not high enough. What I would say though is, run shit like swords, ect ect.

I'm also not a fan of entomb in your deck. I know why it's there, but are you often tutoring for it? Or do you use it all the time? It seems like it's one of those.. ooh cool once in a great while it's useful to me.

You could run cards like Pithing Needle, which you can get earlier, and have more impact on the game. You can also remove it, recur it, and name something else if you need to. Just things like that. Things you can still use and fit in with your deck. You don't gotta add counters. I'd even say cut counter spell truthfully. You have 1 of it, so it could be used for something more meaningful and win you the game, or another more helpful control card. Oh look I countered something.... counter that counter.. ok.. cool... You run counter balance, and dsphere, why not another dsphere ability, like Oblivion Ring?

It's things like that. Steam lining your deck > adding random bits of pieces that are useful in a handful if once in a blue moon situations don't do anything. Unless you can literally get it at any point of the game, then yes that's fine, unless it's to protect your deck and is vital in general.

Ramp is good, don't get me wrong. Sometimes we overdo ramp though, and go.. wow all I get is ramp. Not sure if you do or don't.

That being said look at what you can cut you barely see, or have in there and go.. hmm idk if I care for this card as much as I think I need it. That's one thing I always say to people. I can look at your deck, I can play test it, but I don't run it, and I didn't build it. I have no idea exactly what you want out of it. You tell us, but it's the thought processes you came up while building it that make it what it is.

Also yes I saw you have tormods crypt, but I'm just saying that in general. I see you are running aetherbomb, you could run the black one as well, and it still draws you a card. The other thing, maybe more board bounce? Cyclonic Rift or watever. Hell even THE JACE aka jace the mind sculptor

May 20, 2015 3:35 p.m.

PValBlanc says... #15

I am running Nihil Spellbomb you must have missed it in the list. Cyclonic Rift is always good. But it doesn't beat one and two mana hard counters for combo disruption. The issue isn't so much figuring out what disruption to run. It's figuring out what to cut.

Don't use those spoilers, they don't work on all browsers. Look to the site updates for proper spoilers.

And that isn't the proper way to do a header tag. Header tags are using h6, h5, h4, h3, h2, h1. This site just has shortcuts. <h1> is the proper tag, just remember to close it off with </h1>

I gave you an upvote because this is my one of my favourite colour combinations, sorry I don't really have any suggestions for you however.

Femme_Fatale Many thanks!
I'm aware that it isn't the best code. I still have the link you posted to that tutorial you left on a Slivers deck. I just wanted to do something simpler before I went through the hastle of denser code (I'm not too good at these things as you probably noticed :p ). I'll be slowly updating deck descriptions anyways. Your code is next on the list.

May 20, 2015 6:05 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #19

No, there's a much simpler code on the site updates. It works everywhere.

May 20, 2015 6:48 p.m.

PValBlanc says... #20

Cool! I'll look that up.
