I have been playing this brew for a while now. Its doing ok when not going off, I can survive long enough since im ''stealing'' my opponent life points. The goal of the deck is to give my opponent lots of tokens and with Trespasser Curse / Blood Artist, i take their life points. Illness and Ratchet Bomb are there to keep the board clear of too many token while helping alot with Blood Artist.. Im thinking of putting less combo pieces and adding maybe the Green Haunted. Here is the link to the deck: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/visual/683926
***Note*** I no longer have Damnation in side but 4x Claim // Fame. To get back any blood artist, voyaging satyr, blood seeker.... please give me constructive advice!
Ill have to try Hunted Troll, but it seems ''kinda'' slow but right on theme with the giving 1/1 and a big beater. I could try expedition map for a while and sylvan scrying too later on. Do you think hunted horror should also be in, since Ratchet Bomb is main ?
Hey this is my new brew, I've decided to make it since I like funny combos, and that is what i've come up with so far. I do not have a sideboard since i dont know whats good and not against my deck so far. Id like anyone who takes a look to let me know what you think of it, and if you have any recommendation let me know dont be shy.
Hi, ive been brewing with saheeli rai combo also! How is your deck going so far? Have you playtested it yet? I have a grixis deck with saheeli rai, and its pretty complex to make. Tell me if youve changed some stuff !
For dredge, you could run the black Leyline, it wins against dredge on its own.
Swap Radiant Flames with Anger of the Gods
EDIT:
Also, forgot to ask about how Impact Tremors did, if it did anything at all.
How about Lightning Axe to throw stuff in the 'yard?
We need some enchantment hate; Everything that hoses dredge, hoses us.
I like radiant flames better since anger does the same but is double red.
Havent tried Impact Tremor, i guess i could try, and switch theses reckless fireweaver ?
Its true about leyline but what could i switch it with in the side ?
Dont really need enchantment hate, the liquimetal and kolaghan's command can destroy it. and there isn't that many in all the decks overall.. sure i havent played in pptq and such since im still switching cards and testing it. But i dont see many enchantment deck in the meta.
Ok so I've made ALOT of change since the day I've made this post and I must admit that im pretty proud of them. I've been playing at FNM and with friends with it and it's alot better since. Here is the new decklist, some scores from FNM.
The deck seems weird but it works really well, I have enought piece of each combo to know wich way to go, enought disruption to keep the combo going and enought protection. The sideboard is when I play against aggro, tron, infect and even combo! Im still Learning a bit how to sideboard against some deck but thats magic after all !
Some scores from my FNM games.
VS Infect: I can race it and take away their creatures fast enought before they can kill me.
VS Tron: Crumble, Extirpate or surgical is the key here with a turn 1 Altar...
VS Scape*****: Easy, its a bit like vs tron but you mill their mountain too !
VS Aggro: bit harder but you can discard their creature and kill their board with Radiant Flames...
VS Combo: usually their combo is slower then ours so dont need to sideboard in much stuff unless vs kiki, then hand disruption is great!
VS Gifts: They dont know what to sideboard and what to get with gifts since we do all kind of stuff lol.
VS Dreadge: Now thats a race ! milling is hard vs them but its menagable since they also mill themself ( kind of ) otherwise radiant flames is a key card here...
^^^ that is pretty much the meta at the Local stores im playing..
Any advice would be really appreciated... Thanks you all for taking the time to read and even maybe reply !
I've really wanted to try and crack a competitive Heartless Summoning deck. This past weekend I also thought of using Saheeli Rai, so since you're already in grixis colors and thinking of adding more liquimetal coatingKolaghan's Command would be really good. Liquimetal Coating a permanent, destroy it and pull a Myr Retriever from your yard to start the combo.
I would look at upping your Trinket Mage count and lower your Altar of the Brood, because it really doesn't feel good to draw a Mage after already playing an Altar, also altar can possibly help decks that use the graveyard as a resource.
Also Taigam's Scheming is an interesting card to filter the top of your deck into better draws while also getting a possible retriever in the yard.
Ive added a second liquimetal coating ( too 1 muddle the mixture out ) and ive been able to get the combo with saheeli out a bit more, ive added 2 kolaghans command in my sideboard and its wonderfull ! I can destroy anything with that ! I also took 1 atlar and 1 reckless fireweaver out for 2 disple of the vault ( giving it a try, and it broke the thopter sword combo !! )
Ill have to see for taigam's scheming, i also tought about telling time,..
Right now at my local ive played vs a dredge wich is only a big race but i went 1-2, ive played alot vs infect and there its just a race of wich is faster depending on opening hands. Ive played vs naya burn and thats an ok game after sideboard. I went vs gift for the first time and i went 1-1-1 broke his thopter sword of meek combo because of my disciple of the vault ! So the game got stalled.. any more ideas would be great...
Now that I think about it, you could splash white to use (insert card that I don't remember that says "Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you may gain 1 Life") and combo it with Aetherflux Reservoir... That could work too, although you would have to go 4 color.
Also, seeing this deck, you would have to make sure to keep a counterspell and open mana open at all times so the combo isn't disrupted.
On lands: Get rid of the reveal-land and the dragonskull, I think that more temples could help this deck, so you can filter what you don't need away.
EDIT: Just realized that if you use Liquimetal Coating on an enemy minion, you could use something like, persay, Smash to Smithereens to destroy an enemy creature with no drawbacks, and bolting their face!
I could splash white, but right now 3 color is kind of hard to know what mana ill need especially if i need all 3 colors.
Concerning the liquimetal coating, i know and you can even destroy lands ! Enchantment planeswalkers ! And there more ! Its another brew im going for later ( jund land destuction with that and 1mana artefact destruction anyways )
The lands i know but i use them cause i van only upgrade it little by little, and i had them ^^
