A little feedback on the Phyrexian Altar version of the deck
I played it last weekend. Needless to say, I went off and the first time no one saw it coming, everyone scooped once I showed the combo and no one had cards to disrupt it. The second time, I had to play carefully, fight through disruption, but eventually, I went off for the win. The third game had the entire table gang up on me and punish me, so whatever.
So, the deck is powerful clearly, there was a little grumbling when I played it three times in a row, which I will never do in the future. Feels like a one and done deck on any given night unless your meta is all over doing broken combos or allows unlimited combos.
Personally, I am going to try out an all Zombie build with her, which is likely a little more fair for creature metas.
The decklist will probably look similar to Prid3's zombie build when wayward servant was spoiled since that was already a B/w build.
6/1/2011 If Leonin Relic-Warder leaves the battlefield before its first ability has resolved, its second ability will trigger and when it resolves, do nothing. Then its first ability will resolve and exile the targeted artifact or enchantment with no way to return it to the battlefield.
It would really help if I read the card before I comment instead of letting everyone know how stupid I am.
Ok, going to flesh out the list a little more and figure out what I need for my meta. Knight of autumn really is a catch-all for this deck.
What do you own for good mana? If we're being honest the card that you want in deck is Knight of Autumn. Lifegain, removal, big body, etc. and you can bounce it with superfluous copies of Whitemane Lion/Kor Skyfisher for additional value as the game progresses.
I have duals, shocks, fetches, checks and a couple other Selesnya dual type lands. So the mana base isn't an issue for me
I have all of these cards. The only card I don't have is the Phyrexian Altar
I could run soul's Attendant as I have extra and the may clause is relevant in my meta as there is now quite a bit of life gain hate after a few games went sideways.
Need to find room for enchantment/artifact hate as well since my meta is plagued with nasty enchantments.
All the sudden we're running out of space fine tuning this thing
Prismite Well now, that is interesting find, isn't it for those on a budget. I wanted to buy Altar's when they were reprinted but didn't feel like I played enough decks to warrant their purchase. The price has since risen again, meh.
I find myself needing early defense in my meta. I realize Wall of Omens isn't what you want to see in the later game, but it's frequently my go-to early drop for the card draw and the somewhat large butt. Is it viable here? Obviously skullclamp is what we are leading on for draw and to rip through the deck. Otherwise, I tend to get chipped away too much and without lifegain and can struggle to keep my game plan going.
I'll also stress that 2x Phyrexian Altar goes a long way because even though your infinite combo is 4 cards all of the pieces are actively good in the deck so you're not reliant on assembling them. Still, it helps to be able to generate infinite bodies at EOT off of a Whitemane Lion and end games.
I don't have phyrexian altar but I could acquire them, clearly important to generate the white mana to keep the chain going, but is Ashnod's altar a remotely playable card as a budget replacement, as I have a playset of those?
I quite enjoy when you showcase decks like this and list the so-called "core" with many of the other viable cards to choose from. Then players can flesh out lists based on their own meta...

Knight of Autumn that is a card worth splashing for
EDIT: War Priest of thune triggers work like Oblivion Ring correct? I can permanently exile If I flash in Whitemane Lion while on the stack?
