Keiga EDH
Deck Help forum

My friend is looking at making a Keiga, the Tide Star EDH deck. So far, the core cards (I mean the stuff the strategy will be based around) are Keiga, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur , It That Betrays , Tezzeret the Seeker , card:Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar, and Memnarch , who is an alternate commander. The main focus is stealing stuff. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Other supporting cards are leviatation, Shifting Borders , and Stormtide Leviathan .
I would not go with Memnarch my understanding is that, that would force you to only use artifacts. I could be completely wrong but i thought it was only colors used in the mana cost not on the card in general so I would suggest card:Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar of the cards you listed.

Actually, any mana symbols on the card are part of the color identity. Memnarch works fine, and lets the deck stay about stealing.

i wouldnt use kiega. his ability only occurs when he goes into the graveyard. perhaps it serves as a safety-net just incase they decide to kill him, unless you can fetch him back from the graveyard i wouldnt do it. considering it's commander you could be a right twat about it and have Empress Galina instead. without the commander the deck built itself around how can they cope? plus the sub-commanders would fall victim too. throw in a Manalith and a Darksteel Ingot amongst Mana Cylix and Prophetic Prism and you may be able to abuse their abilities too

Hmmm... You know, Leyline of Singularity would go good with her. But I don't think my friend would be able to get her.

i think you can condemn most of their creatures with that and a few cloning cards too. any of those star dragons like Keiga, the Tide Star and Kokusho, the Evening Star . both yield pretty devastating effects. then there's Merieke Ri Berit , who can be pretty mean with Puppeteer or something similar

Well, he's aiming for mono blue (and Kokusho is banned in EDH). And yeah, he needs shapeshifters (as do I).

One thing is, Keiga isn't as good because when it goes to the command zone you don't get to steal anything. I would go with Memnarch
