MTG Salvation

Here is a deck prototype that I have been designed for casual play. Would like to make it fast and effective. Here is what I have so far:

4 Erayo, Soratami Ascendant
3 Cloudstone Curio
3 Kobolds of Kher Keep
3 Crimson Kobolds
3 Crookshank Kobolds

3 Brainstorm
3 Grapeshot
4 Remand

the obvious combo is
Curio + Kobold + Grapshot = gg

also Erayo and storm or kobold drops = pissed off opponent

help me with stuff to add, thanks

City of Brass, Forbidden Orchard, Gemstone Mine for lands, some shock/dual will help
Elvish Spirit Guide, Simian Spirit Guide, Lotus Petal, Manamorphose for mana fix
Ancestral Vision, Glimpse of Nature, Mishra's Bauble, Urza's Bauble for draw
Soul Warden, Essence Warden for life

ps: storm doesnt help Erayo, kobolds and other 0 cc spells help

Indeed, Erayo just slows you down.

I'd go with something like this:



Mull to Glimpse and win (or lose)

Drift of Phantasms to transmute for Curio. There are a few other cards that transmute for a 3 cost card but they are B or B/U.

In case you follow the Banned/Restricted list, Brainstorm is restricted to one copy.

Also, you might want to consider my friend's Chishkabob deck.

Tinder Wall is awesome in this deck.

Turn 1 : Play Skullclamp
Turn 2 : Tinder wall, sacrifice Tinder wall draw two cards : 2 red in the pool (+ tap a land) = 3 mana, Glimpse, 2 mana left, play a bunch of freebies, Grapeshot.

I also have a secret weapon for this type of deck, but I won't mention it in fear of having it incorporated to the already existing net decks (<<Honeycomb>> decks). : )

Thran Quarry can replaced the expensive Wooded Foothills.

What is it? Please tell me!

Sorry, at this point it would take a lot more than begging for me to divulge this secret weapon. : )

If you do stick with blue, using Arcane Denial is a good idea as it can counter your opponent's spell, or counter one of your free spells and netting you 3 cards in hand.

Seriously, can't you just tell me. Can you message it to me and you'll have my word that I won't put it on the net? Pleaseeeeee I very much respect your ideas.:D:)

Great idea. Kobold Curio Combo is fun. Could work well 0 CC artifacts as suggested. Of course the theme would be different.

I've also seen folks occasionally tinker w/Future Sight for this sort of thing..gross.

I have a question about Cloudstone Curio in this deck. Are Artifact Creature's considered non-artifact for this combo?

Only in vintage, his deck looks to be legacy legal, so he can run 4.

Tarpan isnt secret tech anymore, everyone knows about it.

Artifact creatures are artifacts, and so won't trigger cloudstone curio.

Lol Tarpan. What a joke.
