Deputy of Acquittals: Found a Home?
Standard forum
Posted on Jan. 21, 2014, 10:19 p.m. by Jay
So I was just thinking, what with Ephara, God of the Polis being a good reason for Azorius and Bant Flash to show up, does anybody think Deputy of Acquittals might get some time in the spotlight? Personally, I've always been a fan, and he's very synergistic with Ephara and other Flash creatures.
Heck, with 2 of them and a little bit of extra mana every turn you can always trigger Ephara. You could just use him to protect from removal/wraths, or recycle used ETB abilities. Perhaps taking an un-bestowed Boon Satyr back to hand to be bestowed again?
I just feel like now a lot of his unrealized potential could come up. Any thoughts on the matter?
I've been kicking around the idea of Ephara, God of the Polis , Prophet of Kruphix , and Kiora, the Crashing Wave . Kiora's emblem will ensure you a creature at least on your turn, which will allow you to draw on your opponent's turn and possibly load you up to play more creatures to draw more cards. At the very least it'll allow you the chance at drawing an answer to something your opponent plays.

Yeah. After some testing, essentially you get two turns where you untap and draw in the beginning.

@flyguy: After looking at your deck and seeing AEtherling , idk why it didn't come to mind as an auto-include for me. Every time he comes back after you blink him out, he triggers Ephara.

Just came up with this using Ephara:

@Jp3ngu1nb0y I also like how deputy can blink a chumper for no damage and still trigger ephara.
@ljs54321 Yeah its super fun. Im excited to see what you can brew
I feel really out of place with the colors of my name...

Like I said in the comment I left on your deck, my thoughts weren't far off from what you came up with. I was already thinking of Bant when Kiora was spoiled, planning around Verdict into turn after turn Kraken tokens.

Ha beat you.
Probably standard. I dunno I still don't know what colors I want.
January 21, 2014 11:02 p.m.
I'm actually using silver in my name instead of white. My colors aren't MTG related (Raiders fan...shhhhh, it's not a proud fact right now lol)

When I first saw her, after the boner went away, the first card I thought of was Boon Satyr .

Guys, everyone is copying us. The outbreak of bant control. shudders
Did we create a monster?
(I doubt that we did, its just fun to take credit. Sorry for the necropost).

I feel like fluffybunnypants would appreciate the derailment of this thread.

Let's see if I can get us back on track so that we can go to a whole new tangent ("a whole new tangent! a dazzling place I never knew") Excuse my terrible references. I feel like a 2 year old girl.

February 6, 2014 10:59 p.m.
Pshh, advertising? Haha I have like a small clique of followers that upvote my decks within minutes of posting. Like even random scratch decks. My record is 9 upvotes without cycling.
February 6, 2014 11:02 p.m.
Yeah... I'm admittedly in that clique. But I'm in it for the references win. (5 already)

Jp3ngu1nb0y is now lord rakdos.
We are in the cult of Jp3ngu1nb0y. Occasionally, one of his blood witches/ bitches named Vendilion shows up in his Vendilion Clique

Blood bitches, shred geeks, and crackheads.
Boutta unleash my clique niqqua

Build a deck like that. I'll upvote it within seconds (and reference this thread to take the lead).

Speaking of which, anybody else think Cults's last album was criminally underappreciated? I loved it.
February 6, 2014 11:14 p.m.
Uhh... Do I lose a reference point for not knowing it?
February 6, 2014 11:19 p.m.
The new one for 2014? (According to almighty wikipedia)
February 6, 2014 11:22 p.m.
You would think I'd at least know who they are considering I was born the yr before the band was formed...Damn that makes me feel old lol
February 6, 2014 11:33 p.m.
You were born in 2009?
I believe you're thinking of The Cult
February 6, 2014 11:36 p.m.
Wow 3 pages of being off-topic is impressive. Yeah I'm too young to know that band, too.
February 6, 2014 11:37 p.m.
BTW- u guys have cockatrice accounts? I would love to friend you guys and talk more, debate about how standard is the best format by far. I'm flyguy there.
