I love Erati. The moment I learned he existed, I knew his ability was potentially exploitable. Being able to pitch no longer relevant permanents to counter spells seems really fun. Ertai seemed like he would be a good stax general, so I went ahead and built a deck.
I was trying to go with some typical stax play with a little bit of a protection, possibly pillow fort, subtheme.
I did some preliminary testing and the mana base and curve is fairly stable. Granted it's a little rough around the edges. I'd like it to be a little more aggressive and I'm sure there's some key pieces not in place yet, but right now it's stable and I think I have a good foundation here.
If any stax players want to throw in their two cents, that'd be mighty kind of you.
