MTG Salvation

There's already 4 Ravagers main (such a great card - run them in every deck with artifacts.)

I'm wondering if I should find room in the side for an extra Ensnaring Bridge. It'll only be worthwhile against sneak/show/reanimator decks though

For reference and such, this is the list I'm currently running with after testing and discussion here:

4 Etched Champion
3 Memnite
4 Steel Overseer
4 Cranial Plating
2 Blinkmoth Nexus
3 Vault of Whispers
4 City of Traitors
4 Arcbound Ravager
4 Ornithopter
2 Arcbound Worker
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Vault Skirge
1 Gaea's Cradle
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Frogmite
4 Signal Pest
3 Mox Opal
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

SB
2 Thorn of Amethyst
2 Ratchet Bomb
2 Grafdigger's Cage
2 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Ensnaring Bridge
2 Phyrexian Revoker
2 Spellskite
2 Manriki-Gusari

I'm in a similar boat as your busy in that I'm unable to go downer to play physically (unless something big like scg rolls into town) so a lot of my testing comes from xmage.

Vaults instead of citadels? I wouldn't have considered that, with Wasteland being relevant again, but I'll try it out. A buddy of mine suggested Seats for Thoughtcast, but not totally sold on the idea

I would have never considered probes. I would have figured that the loss of life from tombs/skirge would have made that a little prohibitive (at least it seemed that way in my testing).

But I can agree that Steel Overseer is amazing. I run Affinity in modern and can vouch for its power (if it doesn't get removed).

My list differs from Ashoks in that I run max Etched Champion and Chalice main,Blinkmoth Nexus as the manland of choice and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in place of Contested War Zone (not a big fan of war zone and like being able to Instant speed plating and not getting hurt from tomb.)

Originally tried out Lodestone Golem in place of Champion, but that waa pre-ban.


I'm nervous about my Miracle matchup, but I'm hoping chalice and post board thorn of Amethyst can help with that.

I'm looking to build a version of Affinity similar to that of Ashok Chitturi's used in GPNJ. Sadly I haven't been able to play legacy since the banning of Treasure Cruise.

So the question is how well do you think a last like Ashoks would perform in today's meta?
