So, first I had a Sharuum deck, but she got out of control, and I found that I had too many options and never could settle on what to run. Then it became a Karn deck. I wanted to challenge myself, but i found it wasnt very consistent. While fun, it seemed to only win off of explosive starts. I wanted to change my artifact again and that lead me to Slobad.
There are a few card in there I'd like some opinions on, as well as a few im considering:
Furnace Celebration - seem like it could be a very consistent source of damage Ashnod's Transmogrant - works with Salvaging Station and i dont have to worry about protecting it (like liquimetal coat and silverskin armor) Tower of Fortunes - the deck makes a lot of mana, but is 8 for four card worth it? Dragonstorm - there's a few very useful dragons in the deck (steel hellkite, hoarding dragon) Sunstone - Seems awesome with snow cover lands. Mana isn't usually a problem, and I also often aim to destroy all lands anyways
Im also considering:
Kuldotha Phoenix - Metalcraft is easy, 4/4 hasty flier that comes back post wrath Slag Fiend - Big man for R, too bad its not an artifact. Lightning Crafter - 3 ping'r is sweet, saving a goblin from a wrath also seems sweet
Looks good so far. How are you liking Sunstone and Furnace Celebration? I tried Slag Fiend at one point, it looks good on paper but really its just a cheap vanilla creature and in EDH im not impressed. I'd recomend Karn, Silver Golem, he can really turn mana rocks into an army, block all day, unequip equipments, and suprise most people by turning their artifacts into creatures in response to a wrath.
Sunstone? I know it's an artifact and all, but Glacial Crevasses is just so much better.
I play sunstone over glacial crevasses in my slobad deck. having it be an artifact is so huge, just being able to tap it to clock of omens, or sac it to make something else indestructible is so much more value, when the 2 mana to fog isnt that big of a deal with all the mana rock ramp you should have.
