MTG Salvation

Ok, going on what I've read and seen of Sarkhan Vol so far, he originally rode/fought with the Mardu Horde but had a falling out by learning the shamanistic ways of the Temur seers, the first time we see Sarkhan in Alara he is Red/Green, the next time we meet him in Zendikar he is Red/Black, already pointing at the signs of Jund, but with his heritage of Mardu being Red/White/Black, he is currently sitting at 4/5 of the color pie, now perhaps working with both the Temur and for Nicol Bolas has possibly ingrained some sort of blue magic within him. I know that being affiliated with the Mardu and the Temur doesn't particularly mean he has those colors associated with his powers. Perhaps in Fate Reforged or in "Louie" we will have the possibility of seeing a pure five color planeswalker.

Here is something I've been testing on MTGO but not entering any events with, I'm still working out kinks

List tags are malformed.

I honestly forgot about using them to sack to the Bros. now I retract my previous statement about the karoo lands

I would use Shivan Harvest mainly due to me being an arse when it comes to attrition control. Along with the fact that most of my playgroup use a lot of non-basic lands. Maybe also change the artifact lands for the karoo lands so that way you only have to tap one land to activate it (Gruul Turf/Rakdos Carnarium).

I'm a bit leery of Goblin Assault due to making your goblin creatures attack and the Bros. being goblins will have to attack as well.

Has anyone tried Teferi's Puzzle Box?

I run it in my build, as it does make a target for removal, it's also another spell out of someone's hand. It does make it slow and tedious but with all the hate from drawing cards in my build, barely anyone actually removes it because it helps them get rid of a dead hand (hopefully).

I run Phyrexian Tyranny, Spiteful Visions, and Sangromancer. The amount of life gain from Sangromancer was enough to stifle the damage output from Visions and Tyranny.

This Wednesday and Thursday will be my main testing days, along with Friday a bit. I will have a more in depth review of the build I'm running with outcome along with what my opponents were playing.

Hey I've been following this post since Nekusar was spoiled, I have taken in everyone's feedback and created my list as a vanilla "hand manipulation" build.



I sat down the other day against a friend the other day with my list and luckily had Nekusar out by turn 3-4 at most each time. With a few hits from Dragon Mage with Nekusar and Caress on the field he went from 38 to less than 10 then he attempted to take out my Seer with Big Game Hunter and I cast Arcane Denial, he then returned it and cast again with E Witness, but I ended up taking him down and killing with a Cerebral Vortex after.

I know it seems a bit janky for a deck like this but Pithing Needle shuts down a lot of things. 1 cmc and name the card (more for side than anything)

If I remember correctly, you can't use the Overgrown Tomb in the deck, the land has to coordinate with the general

For the mana cost you might as well summon griselbrand.

Actually it would end up being 1 less for Lord, just a thought anyways...

Has anyone thought of Lord of the Void in this deck? Could be interesting, looking and then taking a creature of theirs

Hmm . . . Not sure. Obviously Dimir Guildgate will help, but we don't really have access to a lot of lands. Right now I'm working with a build that uses Grim Discovery and Evolving Wilds to try and get some advantage, might work with the mana. Not sure though.

I would try more so for Grim Discovery and Barren Moor or Polluted Mire for the cycling advantage maybe

The landscapes are the shockland playmats, the guild sleeves are just like the deckbox
