How is HellKite Igniter weak? You do understand that you can use his RC ability as many times as you want on the same turn, right? And by the time you get him out, you could easily have... who knows? 8? maybe 10 artifacts out? With 8 artifacts, he gets +8/0 using his ability once... and say you only had 7 mana you when you cast it and you don't play a land the next turn... you can swing with it the following turn for 8x3 = 24 + 5 = 29 damage.
If you have any mana combos or mana ramp that hits the board early, you could even take advantage of his haste and swing for a massive hit out of no where. And late game, he is a one-hit KO if played at the right time.
Just going to throw something together here for myself, since no other deck builder sites link the new cards. If you have a suggestion, go for it. I ran out of time, but will be adding to this when I can and will eventually whittle it into something nice.
Alesha, who smiles at death has a w/b activated ability. This makes her a tri-color commander. If you take a look, all the main mythics of fate reforged work the same way.

Here it is! The Oros, the Avenger deck that I may own very shortly own. I am probably dropping some serious cash here, so if you guys could take a look and help me with any final changes, I'd be beyond grateful. I realized after I made it, I didn't put any trample in. It may not be necessary though with how effective it potentially can be clearing the board. But hey, maybe y'all think differently. Let me know! Thanks!
My new Oros deck. The goal here was to make a first strike / deathtouch playable RWB deck. I strayed a bit from the theme to support Oros and his potential deathtouch equipped board wipe. It occurs to me know as I am writing this that I don't have trample... I have no idea what to take out to add that. If you see something that could help me improve it, let me know! I will be spending money on this so it means a lot to me. Thanks!
YES Weebo. I reluctantly just built this Kresh deck. My first real dream was to make it RWB because of cards like both Archetypes and the badass Ankle Shanker. I love Crackling Doom also. I am going to give the deck build another shot, but I will use Xoth's Oros, the Avenger suggestion (can't believe I didn't make that connection on my own). Here comes the brewing. I'll link my build when complete. Thanks!
Wow, not a bad idea at all Xoth. I'm definitely going to build something around him. I want the new deck. The temptation to fire off an order is there, but I am doing my very best to have patience. I just built the Kresh the Bloodbraided Deck. I'll link in a second. Seems like it is missing something, like card draw.
Thanks for your thoughts JWK. I have already tried constructing a deck like like your last example using Kresh the bloodbraided. I found it very difficult to balance win conditions with removal; Kresh being my only real win con. Any thoughts for how you could have multiple win conditions in that sort of jund deck?
Also, for your r/w and Mardu thoughts, I actually already had a thread out on Zurgo Helmsmasher, trying to turn him into my deathtouch deck. Zurgo's only real synergy is making a board wipe deck (which I despise with a passion). I realized I would probably be wasting my time and money building a sub-par deck with him, so I abandoned the idea.
I only have one real serious EDH deck, Animar, soul of elements. It is extremely powerful, which makes me happy, but I feel bad using it every time. I want a deathtouch themed deck that can be decently competitive. I'm ready to spend some cash, but I have to be sure it is for the right deck.
Thank you for the list Lycoris. Maybe it is more doable than I thought. Time to start brewing. I'll definitely check out your Glissa deck.
I actually already own a Kresh the bloodbraided, so it wouldn't be too difficult to build Glissa and sub in some red cards to see how it goes. I have always wanted to make a Kresh deck with a Phyrexian Dreadnought in it. Just letting it kill itself is instant +12/+12.
Yeah, those would be bad ass in a powerhouse deathtouch deck. My trouble with Glissa is that you lose white for first strike. I currently have a rag tag Doran, the Siege tower deck that can hardly be considered a Doran deck. I basically just threw in all the cards I own that were good and mildly related to the First Strike / Deathtouch theme. It has won a couple times, purely because my friends weren't concerned with me and I had all the time in the world. I will say though, Gift of the Deity and Glissa, the Traitor are soul mates.
If you go with Glissa, the Traitor, what do you do about first strike? Just artifacts? Obviously she has it built in herself, but I want the whole deck to have synergy. I would probably want to use cards that force blocking and fights.
If you have any mana combos or mana ramp that hits the board early, you could even take advantage of his haste and swing for a massive hit out of no where. And late game, he is a one-hit KO if played at the right time.
