Deflection Themed EDH
Deck Help forum
Posted on Sept. 6, 2018, 9:18 a.m. by Penguno
I'm trying to make a deck that's all about deflecting spells (such as Wild Ricochet or Goblin Flectomancer and damage (such as Deflecting Palm). I'm probably thinking of going Jeskai, unless there's a better color combination going out there.
I ideally wanted to make it very monk-themed.
Currently I'm using the partner commanders Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder solely for the purpose of making a target for my deflection spells.
Is there any other thing I could use to make this kind of deck work? After much testing, it appears as though I need more draw/filtering spells. What kinds of draws would you recommend that could fit my theme?
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thank you for your replies!
@luther Great suggestion with Shu Yun! To be honest, he was my first choice before the partners, but another guy in my playgroul was using him, and I wanted to use someone different. Soulfire Grand Master sounds like the perfect choice to help me keep my spells, however I am a little hesitant on the cost of his ability.
@Funkydiscogod Those are some great suggestions for card draw. The problem is that most of the guys in my group run Consecrated Sphinx and that plus Plagiarize, Notion Thief, or Psychic Possession tends to lead to disaster. Thanks though!

How about Rhystic Study? If you could link your deck, we may be able to come up with better cards for it.

I have an redirect-heavy deck you could look at.

Riku of Two Reflections because who doesn't like using a Wild Ricochet and then copying it?

Here is a current list I've made.
@Gleeock Emissary of Grudges sounds like it could fit in my deck

If you want monk themed Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest is a good choice that is somewhat like a mix of ishai and bruse. Soulfire Grand Master is a must to keep casting your spells repeatedly. Monastery Mentor for chump blockers. Spellskite and Standard Bearer to force bad plays. Aegis of Honor for another redirect. Gisela, Blade of Goldnight to lower opponent's damage (also super great with double strike)
