MTG Salvation

Three of those things are incredible and not that hard to do in countless ways in Gruul, however instead of fretting and focusing on having enough cards with Kicker on them I would rather build a weapon and have the trigger and the ammunition saved for the right moment.

This is the first pass of a deck that resulted from that:



Outside of the Ramp and the Draw the basic idea is to build a collection of cards that generate a lot of +1/+1 counters and then feed Hallar into that and then fire off one of three silver bullets 2 of which were chosen because are tutorable by cards in the deck and the third doubles as removal.

The deck is also capable of just turning any creature on board into a monster if for whatever reason the primary Hallar plan becomes unworkable, also Aetherflux Reservoir works as a backup cannon in those cases as well.

The major combos in there right now:

Animation Module + Decoction Module + Fabrication Module + Phyrexian Altar + A Creature

Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient + Voltaic Key + Gilded Lotus + Any Other Artifact

Karn, Silver Golem + Voltaic Construct + Any Artifact that taps for at least 3 mana

Paradox Engine + Cloudstone Curio + Gilded Lotus + Joraga Warcaller + Arbor Elf


There are probably more that will be revealed as I play with it.

I like this take on Hallar. Have you thought about Aluren? Would fulfill the same purpose as Paradox Engine and Gilded Lotus in your Joraga Warcaller combo.

Do you have ways to protect Hallar other than Lightning Greaves? I could see it being difficult to keep him around and get to enough counters for the kill, once your meta catches on to the deck's strategy.
