This is my first time posting a deck, and what better than my janky Zurgo Helmstax build. I love stax, and when I noticed the synergy with Zurgo I fell in absolute love with the idea and had to build it. However I only feel comfortable using it 1v1. I have Animar Combo and a control deck for multiplayer.
I know I need Torpor Orb, Winter Orb, Stoneforge Mystic and Vryn Wingmare. If you have any ideas on upgrades besides adding those 4, try to keep it to a $30-$40 minimum altogether.
On the first day using it, I went 3-1. I played against a Sliver Deck (Won), a very very good blinged-out Karador (won), and a green/white new Sigarda goodstuff-hatebears deck (one win, one loss)
Oh jeez, I didn't expect all these replies. Well thank you guys, I really like Mogis' ability for stax but some of those card choices are way too pricey, as i said in the first post im working with around a $100-$150 budget and Liliana of the Veil already breaks that. So I think for now i'll try Athreos and maybe got to Mogis if my money situation looks up, for I find a nice budget alternative. Also I literally just took a B/R deck apart (Olivia Voldaren) so i'm not sure if i'm ready to make another one just yet.
Hi MTGSalvation forums, i've used this board for almost 2 years, but this is my first post ever. I just finally made an account actually.. And I need help. If you can tell by my avatar, I really love the Theros goods, they're my favorite and I splash them in every EDH deck they'd work in, but I finally want to make one focused on them. I also usually build Aggro decks, so I want to try something new, a Stax-control based deck with some harder hitters.
I think Ephara or Karametra would probably work best due to their abilities and access to white, but I would actually like to build Kruphix. Advice? (Also I have to work around a $100-$150ish budget)
