Glad to see the warkite getting some love! I've not gotten to dive in with a non-budget version of Marchesa yet. But I'll have to try the new Grenzo for sure based on what everybody's saying. On paper I'm not sold on Matter Reshaper yet so time will tell...
I mean, unleashed and attacking with Marchesa in play can equal 25% of their starting life just from him alone. That's not bad by any means. He also has a built in sac outlet and way to get a counter immediately. Meaning he's even easier to recur with her.
I've been putting together essentially this exact list with some changes for cards that I like. My question for Marchesa players is what kind of win / loss ration do you have with the deck?
Edit: Here are some cards I think might be a fit in this deck:
Granted, if they are running one of the OG Eldrazi it won't work...but even then the only card that loses value is Altar of the Brood. The others are still useful in the game.
what kind of cards do you think in the list makes it able to 1v2 control(esper,mono blue) decks? the thing is i often find that people in my play group go into panic mod and targets me whenever i ramp thinking that whoever has the most mana wins regardless of what is on the board, and get into situations where i have to 1v2 to just live.
I know what you mean. Last week I Knowledge Exploitation into a Boundless Realms (was the only sorcery in his deck oddly...) and then proceeded to get 3v1'd pretty hardcore. After already being the target of two huge attacks. It's a common thing for me to get double and triple teamed in games.
Ambivalentduck - Thanks for the reply. I definitely can see cutting Oracle because of the top of the library signaling. My list is a little different from yours because of card availability and I have a few pet cards I love playing in EDH. But this list is super powerful and has been a lot of fun to pilot.
It can be podded for if you have an elemental token in play from a dead Voice of Resurgence. You can also chord for it relatively easy as well, which seems pretty good.
Ranger seems pretty bad in this deck. At least with Melira they can search for a combo piece with him. Here you just get dorks and it's not worth it. There's nothing I would want to cut for it either.
Hi Duck, I've scoured your thread here and feel like I've gained a ton of new insight into building Wanderer with a purpose. I tried to follow all of your changes you've made to your original list, but is it possible for you to show what you're currently running? Thanks!
Edit: I'm an idiot. Didn't see the button that clearly showed your original list below your current one. With that being said, some questions for you about considerations:
Is Oracle of Mul Daya just not a good fit for the deck? Or does it fall in the same kind of situation that Future Sight does? And Kruphix, God or Horizons at first seems like a good fit as well. Lastly, I must have missed it but why no Sensei's D-Top?
Just out of curiosity, where do you guys and gals usually get your playmats to work on and what color do you usually use? I hear some people use blank, white playmats but I'm having a hard time finding some.
I buy mine from SCG when I alter at their events. $10 per mat and they don't have any logos plastered on them like the Ultra Pro "artist mats"
Was inspired by some of the art in this thread. Decided to take a break from card extensions. This took 4 hours and 50 minutes (actually timed myself). Is done with Prismacolor markers and outlined with a fine point sharpie:
My post a bit up this page suggested it. If I'm playing a deck with blue, Cyclonic Rift is going to be in it. Especially in a deck like this.
Edit: Here are some cards I think might be a fit in this deck:
- Hellhole Flailer
- Herald of Torment
- Precursor Golem
- Swift Warkite (might be too cute though)
- Cyclonic Rift
- Makeshift Mannequin
- Helm of Possession
- Equilibrium
And lastly, I'm including a 4 card combo that I simply just enjoy getting to pull off:
Altar of the Brood + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Grave Titan / Wurmcoil Engine / Precursor Golem
Granted, if they are running one of the OG Eldrazi it won't work...but even then the only card that loses value is Altar of the Brood. The others are still useful in the game.

I chuckled when I saw this. I love it.
Also, reposting this commission with the proper references included!

Unfortunately, probably not. It's a blank foil, correct?
