Here's my latest iteration of Damia, Sage of Stone EDH Competitive Multiplayer. Surprisingly, being a toolbox type of deck, it can easily win a 1v1 game if your opponent isn't counterspell heavy. Even then, there's a ton of recursion and plenty of tricks to keep up the pace. Damia, being a walking necropotence on a stick with no drawback, is insane once she hits the board, keeping your hand full of fun spells every turn.
The deck is focused on many small synergies and interactions that allow you to ramp quickly into some silly spells. The main win condition would be tooth and nail. This one card allows you to combo off into infinite mana or toolbox up a certain strategy. With the blue leyline in play, it's optimal to play at opponents EOT or before their end step if you're dropping something like Jin-Gitaxias to screw their hand. Forbid is the all star in this deck, especially if you have seedborn muse or a mana doubler out.
Please, take a look and I would love any help/critiques that you may have! I was thinking of putting in Triskelion, to target Mikaeus and Trisk for an alternate tooth and nail win combo. Thoughts?
I'm going to guess that you just don't have Yawgmoth's Will. Or Praetor's Counsel. Because they should both be in there. Getting double use out of everything is absolutely insane. You don't need the Landfall-shenanigan guys, because these guys are return-your-entire-graveyard shenanigans.

I have a thread for landfall based damia on the forum, if you want to peek at that it was fairly strong. If you are going to run landfall you should really try to abuse it, Ob Nixilis is pretty amazing

Honestly, Damia doesn't need these cards. Praetor's Counsel is actually counterintuitive with her, as you will flood your hand with cards and turn off Damia's ability.

@joec : I was toying with the idea of perilous forays and bloodghast but I think my basic land count might be too low. When I hit genesis wave I usually kill 2 people anyway than the rest scoop from the absurd board position plus I run out of room on the table lol. Ob nixilis is the man!! It wins me the game most times. I might put worldly tutor or Lilliana vess so I can guarantee hitting him on a genesis wave. Whe he hits the board my opponents are always so pissed he usually gets to like 33 or 36 in one shot lol than I swing in to kill whomever didn't not receive all the life loss
@wildfire, @ninja : I will definitely put yawgmoth's will .. Seeing as the cards stay in the graveyard or get exiled if I recast them. What about restock ? The other day I won when I kicked rite of replication on eternal witness than followed it up with genesis wave. That was fun
@mazanostra : I'll try to squeeze in tooth and nail but it requires me to add Oona and palinchron also .. I suppose I would take out wrexial but what else? Idk it's a big change in deck style but I could try it.
As a side note here's a fun interaction :
Let's say your opponent played rite of replication and it's in their graveyard. You play chancellor of the spires targeting it - you get another chancellor. Since rite stay in the graveyard the new chancellor triggers etb and you can do it again. Make as many as you want! The last chancellor can target another spell there or in someone elses graveyard that could be of use. If you have akromas memorial out you win! Or if the last chancellor can target a haste giving spell!!! Fun times
I agree.. It felt a bit light to me but I was tutoring for forbid most of the time.. I guess I could take out sculpting steel and lightning greaves for glen elendra and counterspell... What do you think?

That the deck I've been building from vorosh for over 2 years looking at our decks I see alot of similarities in playstyle look There for insight no suggestions ATM the list us solid my number 1 recommendations for your deck ate survival of the fittest and mana drain ATM Actuly looking at your list where the hell us rite of replication that's the 2nd most important card in my deck I understand using oona as tooth and nail finisher but IMO rune scar > rite of replication ( or in your case exsanguinate works ) once you go infinite mana off palinchron. Replication can also by used for Nany other combos but you don't run extra turn cards so it's not as vital. So I lied my suggestion extra turns mana drain survival of the fittest rite of replication. My deck runs 4 counters one of them being glen Elendra and I'm fine I win 9/10 games with this deck on mtgo. I think This is partly due to the fact ice played it so many times I know when I can blindly drop time warp on turn 4-5 and ve confident no knes getting to play another card all game. I also like force of will do f cut that I might run it if I owned it. Casting it at 5 isn't horrible and free counters are underrated in the format and that's the best. I cut Jim gix recently mainly because he looks amazing in foil by the time you get to 10 mana you should be tooth and nailing for your win. Ulamog I'll be honest I never tested him Mainly due to his mana cost as well I just feel
Like in thus deck if you have the right balence you win turn 3-9 every game sometimes turn 12. I don't know it seems like everyone whi omits the extra turns plays the deck very differently I've ran 3 turn spells since u first made my vorosh deck so I don't know what it's like to pilot the deck without them. Ok so I really lied I rambled with bad iPhone typing as normal but my subs bath is over so I'll hit your lust up again tommorow I like Damia lists
- sculpting steel
- lightning greaves
- journey of discovery
+ asceticism
+ desertion
+ glen elendra archmage
Asceticism protects all my guys instead of greaves just protecting one and I could care less about the haste 99% of the time.
Desertion is great against any general that has cmc 6 or greater.
Glen elendra is just amazing by herself. With mikaeus on board she becomes absolutely insane.
Also fixed up the mana base, added command tower, twilight mire, llanowar wastes, and wooded foothills to get more green sources going. Using demonic tutor for a forest is such a waste haha. So far I've won 3/4 games, each one ending in some ridiculous board state the opponent has no chance of recovering from

Wish I had the money for mana drain. Survival seems ok I guess but could be a dead card often. Its funny how similar our deck lists are. Hows scroll rack work out for you , I've found it to not be that useful.
