Still find this a tad weird on wotc's part,they could've easily invented a new/different mechanic that worked atleast a bit different than Karn's ability with U
Yeah, sidri has a nice toolbox consisting of Open the Vaults, Sharuum etc, making her tactic way less disruptive. She can also cheat/tutor Darksteel Forge into play easier, which again, make her less vulnerable to disruption.
Its just i respect a fellow colorless player :P. It's difficult in my meta, since 1 of our players has 11 wraths in his deck, including artifact wraths, now everybody has artifact hate, even tho im never a huge threat, i straight up loose to Ruination, yeah it's so fair :P.
And Daxos seems sweet.
I got an Animar deck aswell as a backup deck if Karn gets too hated.
Just wait until even the mono-black player starts running Null Rod and Kill Switch, it's frustrating at times, luckily Radha works the complete OPPOSITE and is glad when such cards come out and play. Probably the reason why the combination of having those two decks make me feel good
Offtopic:
So Juwdah, is Kozilek the only EDH deck you play atm?
Nope, seriously tuning my land-destruction/scapeshift-lands gruul control with Radha, but I'm really hoping for a new general anytime soon (commander, please? )
I also have a U/W control EDH that regulary switches general and styles, can't seem to find something to fit. I love cards like Mystic Snake but have vowed never to build U/G due to it's dominant nature and easy to build-ness. ATM it's Daxos of Meletis. Besides those I have various stax-deck tests but looking for a new general on that part too.
SO! Fellow Karn players, the day has finally come, Wizards just happned to print a BETTER karn, that is colored, with the same ability that Karn has, and 1 more additional that is quite nice! http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=549643
Sometimes i don't like wizards, it seems like there's no point in running karn now, cheaper general, access to colors, even so one of the better color combinations!
So what do you guys think?
I love Karn, i dont feel like parting with him just yet..
Due to it's tricolor nature and esper colors, I still believe Karn is faster, but it is indeed a blow to the originality of such a deck. I wonder how karn players are feeling right now
Yeah, I'll always be tweaking this thing. There's little targeted (or Mass) LD in our playgroup, so rarely does scorched ruins wind up ruining me.
I used to run Uba Mask, but for some reason the whole game began to center around it and I became a target for everyone - it's a pity too, because I've got an awesome foil one. Bazaar + it look pretty awesome, though.
Thanks for the kind words, I just started my dream job and will finally have more time to commit to this wonderfully addicting hobby.
Good to hear
About the Chalice of the Void, I know it counters certain strategies, but it can be really useless in many games. However.. same can be said about the Witchbane Orb really.
Looking out for any other changes and will update list shortly.
I can agree with most changes, but considering you convinced me into running the Witchbane Orb, why would you value Chalice of the Void over it? Matter of fact why run chalice in the first place?
What about Sad Robot? Solemn Simulacrum does accelerate you and give card draw, and is definitely an EDH staple. It may be better overall than some other iffy cards, such as Scarecrone.
I'll let burntgerbil answer most of your questions, I do, however, want to note that Solemn Simulacrum fetches basic lands and this deck can't run any of them. Which means it won't accelerate this deck.
Heady words, I know - borderline preachy, even. I'm not here to try and subvert the thread either - I want to try and remain on the topic of my primer. I just wanted to give a little heads-up as to one of the consistently best gaming experiences I've had to date.
Don't worry too much on getting off-topic, considering you added a small part of it too the OP.
That said, I say Theros seems pretty grim so far for getting a bunch of new pieces for Karn. I guarantee you that I'll be watching fervently to see what springs up - I know my enchantress deck will do just fine.
I'm not giving up hope yet, and remember, they announced it to have more legendary than non-legendary permanents. Meaning even if it's bad for Colorless EDH, it'll shine for each other.
That and, there's also the new Pre-cons in november which may or may not see a fancy new artifact. 51 new cards, wouldn't hurt having a couple of them colorless
Guys, I added a little section at the bottom of my primer about my favorite game. If you're artistic and want to do a little bit of card art in the future, let me know. They definitely take artists - I've done card art before.
At the risk of sounding preachy - consider giving Shadowfist a try with some pals.
Nice, the style seems a bit weird though. Is there a card art of you in the gallery?
I see Mark Tedin is doing some artwork for it, however I find the cardframe takes a lot of the art's attention away.

Or you guys could just come to my side.. Kozilek is waiting boys...
Atleast I'll have fun destroying esper karn's lands and colored mana artifacts and see them color screwed :3

If I may ask, why the curiosity ?

Man, I wish I could play Scorched Ruins.. I run Winter Orb, Deserted Temple, Crucible of Worlds, etc.. in Kozi. But it's not worth it with all those Sylvan Timmyordials.

Sweet, considering you said background I take it you didn't continue in that direction?
