Damnation Vs. Arm with AEther in Nekusar EDH

Deck Help forum

Posted on Dec. 21, 2013, 11:24 p.m. by drpeppercan

Need some input, considering swapping Damnation from my Nekusar, the Mindrazer EDH deck for Arm with AEther but am unsure if it would be worth it.

Damnation is a higher cost monetarily and for mana requiring 1 more colored mana, but is straight up more effective.

Arm with AEther has only 1 colored mana, can remove indestructible creatures, and costs a full mana less, also has great synergy well with all the forced card draw.

Opinions?

Full deck: Pain and Gain

Any input on the deck is also welcome. Thank you for your input in advance.

Evacuation dude. It also fills up their hands even more.

Sigil of Sleep ?

I've considered running it in my build, but I'm worried about the repercussions of it not being a "may" trigger. The last thing I'd want is to be forced to bounce my opponent's Sylvan Primordial or Rune-Scarred Demon .

@meecht I did see Sigil of Sleep and it was what I was considering before Arm with AEther , the not being a "may" was a big decider as I wouldn't want any nasty EtB effects happening. My playgroup also prefers to sick with modern cards, it's not uncommon for us to run a couple cards out of modern but we try to avoid it.

Thank you for the suggestion though.
