I think i want to move on from Breya stax for a bit as the deck was only meant for the finals. I plan to play Bruse with Silas Renn and have some fun farming points in the next season as I like this 4 color option a lot. Some interactions I look forward too:
- Lattice + Hellkite Tyrant (with haste)
- Lattice + Vandalblast (I'll get negative points, but should net positive after winning)
- Recursioning Scourglass with Silas every turn
- Welding Jar + Nev's Disk
- Bruse + Metalwork Colossus
sounds like fun
my issue is that you have to swing
also if your playing stax you might consider Luminarch Ascension as an out / token producer
would also like to point out Fertilid nothing like a rampant growth every turn
I feel like the strongest strategy with her is one that focuses on infinite coloured mana.
Midrange grindy advantage through thopter creation just seems rather slow (assuming the focus is a competitive deck)
Packing the deck with every kind of tutor (these are some of the best colours for tutor), finding an LED or an Auriok salvagers seems like the go to.
With this strategy in mind I thinks she's much more effective than sharuum, for sharuum to win through thopter assembly you need to at least wait a turn. Breya is a combo piece all on her own which is brilliant and should be taken advantage of.
ik there is like a billion ways of doing this but none are coming to mind atm
all i can thing about is Rings of Brighthearth
I mean that kinda response is the stuff im talking about. People on this site miss the whole point of edh so much that anyone not playing azami is playing 99 craw with petrogylphs wincon. Like combo is some sort of glorious master race when its really just picking oddball in goldeneye.
That response is indicative of a severe lack of "fun" since your volcan brain still cant process any other response than "git gud, cast omniscience, thin your paints"
ive been looking for a voltron deck capable of keeping up with some of the faster stuff but it usually requires a board presence which gets wiped.
I'm not going to rank them all, but personally my favorite is Atraxa, Praetors' Voice - proliferate is a versatile ability (I've already built an infect list with her and it really helps speed various things up, including actually taking out an opponent) and her other abilities coupled with her 4/4 stats make for a powerful beatstick/roadblock.
Ydris, Maelstrom Wielder I think has the most potential to be broken - he's got a low enough CMC to be repeatedly re-cast if he gets destroyed and the ability to give all your spells cascade can potentially provide massive amounts of value.
Finally, Lady Gaga has some versatile abilities but for me is a bit underwhelming. It helps that she has an awesome color identity for an artifact deck and provides a sac outlet, though.
i'm with you on atraxa bant/bug/esper have been some of the strongest color pies in magic her ability is super flexible
i've never been into rug-ish things maelstrom wanderer did nothing for me
though i'm weird i enjoyed playing mishra of all things not even the good version
thoughts on grafdigger's cage? it stop alot of shenanigans and its easily sac-able.

cut combustible gear hulk; breya is the only damage you need for killing at infinite you pretty much win regardless of what they do
love artificers intuition grabs skull clamp grafdiggers cage cant spell it pithing needle
Luminarch Ascension as an out / token producer

it seems crazy good its pretty much never a dead draw and its instant speed!
