Intro: mmm….METALCRAFT!!! Ever since this guy came out I’ve wanted to build a deck around him. When I first threw the deck together I pretty much went through all my rare equipments and crammed them all in the deck. When I was done tuning the deck, I was surprised at how few I had left lol. The deck flows pretty well with a fairly low mana-curve (Average CMC of 2.95) so as long as I get about 5 land, I’m good to go most of the time
*Additional Thoughts* ¥ Still looking for room for Weathered Wayfarer ¥ I want to fit a couple more equipments in here but I’m not sure what to cut. I’ll need to do a few more games to find out what ends up dead in my hands… ¥ I’m not sure about Emeria, the Sky Ruin. I feel that the 11 plains that I run don’t justify it. I should probably switch it out for a land that doesn’t CIP tapped… I also might replace it with a Vesuva. I was also thinking about changing out Tectonic Edge for Vesuva as I don’t really need ANOTHER LD card. ¥ I feel like I need more plains and/or white mana in general. The deck has R: 8 W: 34 R/: 6
Thoughts/Opinions?
I also think that I need about 3 more land. I find myself missing land-drops sometimes, which is no beuneo I just need some suggestions on what to cut!
Let me introduce Jor Kadeen's best friend, Sunforger. This is by far the best equipment a deck like this could run given the colors. You already have a very solid package so I would work to include that in. Mistveil Plains. should be included to be able to recycle your sunforging spells. i would also find room for Leonin Shikari as this with Puresteel works real well together.
Precursor Golem and Myr Battlesphere are instant metalcraft. I know the Battlesphere is at the upper end of your curve, but it's pretty bad*ss.
I like the Mana Myr in Jor Kadeen as they are multi-purpose in activating metalcraft, giving you mana, and being 4/1 with Jor.
Sunforger is amazing, but takes some getting used to in terms of playing. My most common first play with it is Sunforger for Enlightened Tutor into Land Tax. It's not as awkward as it sounds, and Land Tax may be one of the most important cards for this deck. I run a good number of basics and will happily get three every turn and dump as many as I need into the graveyard. Crucible of Worlds or Sun Titan like to get them back for me.
Jor Kadeen is fun, good luck with the deck.
I ran Jor for quite a while and never found Sunforger to be worth it. The best part was the +4/+0, BUT I also ran 10-12 Mass Land Destruction spells so the mana was just too much. I think in a deck like this you could easily drop it in because you aren't going to be messing up the lands as much as I did. You don't run a lot of good Instants to use with it, but I've found that it only gets used a couple times before it dies, so you might have enough.
