While spending time chatting with my friend and co-conspirator about cards i need for a few other decks, we came up with the easily stupidest, yet most clever deck idea ever. This deck is simply geared to bring out Solemn Simulcarum and make him sad by repeatedly murdering him.
Now you might be wondering why would we want to abuse him? For fun and profit of course! This deck really only needs 2 cards; Sad Robot and Aura shards. You always want to make sure aura shards is used to kill off sad robot with his own etb triggers, using any other creature to flesh out your opponents artifacts and enchants.
Now you might have some questions about why this deck came to be, and it's simply because we make up the stupidest ideas and decide it might be fun to build(at one point in time I wanted to build Murica swanfire edh)
Some questions you might be asking, that I myself asked my friend as we brewed this up:
Why all 5 Praetors?
Sheoldred should be pretty self explanatory, but the others, not as much, but simply to have some fun. Jin-Gitaxias is there to refill the hand if need be, but is by no means a priority. Vorinclex is at least a mana doubler. Elesh Norn gives a nice buff and if I feel like turning dudes sideways, well thats what Urabrask is for.
Why not run Avacyn/Darksteel Forge?
They are good cards yes, and with mana cost not being too much of an issue(most likely) they are counter-productive to what we want wiht the deck; Kill Sad Robot
What is Zedruu doing in there?
Well that's a tough one, the only target really worth donating, in order for the deck to work, would be Sheoldred. She is borderline, but we figured we could at least get some utility from her
Other cards that I feel should be mentioned and touched upon:
Riku: Might be self explanatory, if not he's there to clone Solemn as well as copy a kicked Rite of Rep, to give us more lands/card draw.
Twincast and crew: Same as half of Riku
Doubling Season/Parallel Lives: If Rite of Rep is being kicked(and copied) Lets make as many clones as we can
Tezzeret/Liliana: Who doesn't love tutoring, even if Tezz is only getting us an artifact land, deck thinning is still key
There were also a few cards my friend and I were thinkign of adding, but not sure what to cut without playtesting the deck first: Elixir of Immortality Trinket mage target as well as saving myself from graveyard hate Cyclonic Rift It should be in here, but when i saw the list it was in a maybe board Copy Artifact and its variations: Best targets would be mimic vat or even sad robot, but I didn't think i could really justify it yet Copy Enchantment there really isn't anything in the deck I would want to copy, besides the token doubles or mirari's wake
I hope you guys found at least a chuckle with this deck, as I had a fun time coming up with the dumb interactions, and have a pleasant day folks of salvation!
So... I'm confused. How is this deck going to abuse that poor robot? You posted a deck and a huge description but posted hardly anything about the name. You posted more about the praetors than the deck itself. Can we get some info about what the deck is going (or supposed) to do?
Also, (just being nit-picky here) it's always nice when you label each section in your decklist so that we know what each card section is doing/for.
The majority of this list was written up in about half an hour haha and I had just gotten home from work when I posted, so it's here for people to get amusement from and to provide feedback.
As far as fetching goes, I wanted more to it, but my friend wrote this up(also I'll add a second list by card use later) but yea I can see your point
I really like the Transmute cards in a deck like this as they serve a purpose other than JUST searching for the robot. That way if you've already got him, they aren't dead cards.
I will definitely have to show this friend and see if we want to actually build it. I like the tutors, i think there is a lot that is just bulk and not needed at all
