enpc on Ink-treader ideas

You can also use arcane effects to do some dumb stuff. For example, if you cast Kodama's Reach with a Blessed Breath spliced onto it targetting ink-treader, you will get a Kodama's reach for each creature on the battlefield due to how the splice mechanic works (which basically makes one spell with both effects so you have a Kodama's Reach that now targets).

Means that you can also use cards like Uproot to decimate a player's manabase (and mess up their draws), get an instant boardstate with Spiritual Visit or just generate a lot of mana with Desperate Ritual.

Hi kimosabe! Thanks for the comment!

I’m really loving this deck despite only having one creature. For me the protection spells are helpful but I find myself holding up mana for a bounce spell like Unsummon to avoid removal, only because 3 players will likely have chances to remove Chun-li most games so if she’s going to be removed I just bounce her to my hand.

As for creatures I’ve got a few token makers that help the deck survive a ton. Spiritual Visit, Secure the Wastes, Recruit the Worthy, Rally for the Throne, Raise the Alarm, Midnight Haunting, Master's Call, Errand of Duty, Call the Coppercoats and Lazotep Plating. The tokens are fun to create every turn and can accumulate to be a pretty big board state fast.

While those creatures are strong and I appreciate your recommendations I just personally like the idea of owning a deck with 0 creature cards in it, just kind of funny and different.

If you have a chun-li deck I’d love to see yours, one thing I’ll add is that Release to the Wind is absolutely nasty in Chun-li, so if you have her I recommend that card.

I'm somewhat surprised you're only running one Thief of Hope, conidering it's only 3 mana, and considering that they stack. I'd recommend running 2 or 3, not sure what you would take out though.

Next, probably you want to take out Brilliant Spectrum for a second Distant Melody, mainly because in a tribal deck Distant Melody is strictly better than Brilliant Spectrum. If you want to make Brilliant Spectrum even more valuable, run some token generators like Triplicate Spirits which typically ends up being 2 white for 3 spirits, which then you draw 7 or more cards from Brilliant Spectrum. Beckon Apparition might be something you'd want to sidebar for graveyard hate plus some extra tribal value. Spiritual Visit is good for value as well.

Other than that, deck looks pretty fun.

sergiodelrio on Red Deck W...ait, What?! - T1 Emrakul (+PLAYGUIDE)

Rorolith first of all, thank you for actually playtesting it and giving some feedback!

Its funny that you mention it, because Legion's Landing  ^Flip, alongside Spiritual Visit and even Devastating Summons has been on my radar for this deck.

The upside is obvious, they cost 1 mana, and thus would enable more T2 Emrakul hand combinations, at least in theory. But this comes with some baggage. One problem is, that LL and SV cost white mana, which I might have T1, but might lose again once I Ritual. The other problem is, that the cards might not carry their weight, because I only get one thing from one card, as opposed to my other token producing spells giving me 2. Out of curiosity I will playtest offscreen with +2x Spiritual Visit , as I think it has the upper hand out of all the options, because it is instant and also has the splice ability, which can become relevant with itself and Desperate Ritual netting me some card advantage. For that I'll take out -1x Mountain and -1x Dragon Fodder . If I then conclude that this setup is beneficial, I'll change it here as well.

As for Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , 2 copies would actually be a lot worse here. See, you don't want to draw this card, and adding another copy just doubles the odds of drawing a dead card. Maybe an additional copy would make sense in the SB for some matchups, but idk. This is not something I'm looking into in this stage of tweaking the deck.

What I really desperately need is a sound Sideboard Strategy.

Cloudchaser.Kestrel on Feather Redeems Boros in EDH [Primer]

Awesome primer! As I've been going through Feather decks for ideas I've been noticing a lot of interesting repeats (they all have Teferi's Protection despite it only working once? How odd) now I understand why.

Just want to add my two cents here on a different direction you can go. Arcane spells - feather sees spliced spells as targeting even if the original spell does not, and it's a great way to get extra effects in there.

For instance Zada, Hedron Grinder + Desperate Ritual spliced onto something that targets. Makes insane amounts of mana.

Crack the Earth + Spiritual Visit + a targeting arcane spell, say Blessed Breath + Zada or Mirrorwing Dragon = annihilator x where x is the number of creatures you control, for 3 mana.

I haven't completely tuned it yet, but just want to throw out some alternative ideas if people want to take a look.

I never expected a response, thanks! I didn't catch those cards but I like them. Those are good options though for Cathars' Crusade I think is just a fun card in general to pull off so I might as well switch it to the sideboard. As for the Boros Elite switch I think Spiritual Visit would probably be a preferable switch in case I ever get out Dovescape later on then that guarantee's me at least a token. Although it wouldn't really hurt too much since it's only 1 mana. I'll have all these cards in my sideboard. Thanks again!

To fit your theme of Noncreature spells for dovescape and monastery mentor, I would suggest cutting Boros elite for Spiritual Visit , or maybe even Legion's Landing  ^Flip. The elite hits a little harder, but the legion's landing makes a lifelink guy, a land (presumably pretty quickly in your deck) and the legend rule doesn't matter much since the enchantment doesn't matter as much as the token to you. Spiritual visit is a recommendation just because i think the colorless spirit token is very pretty.

I would also swap Cathars' crusade for Intangible Virtue . Coming down 3 turns earlier means you'll get a lot more out of virtue.
