MTG Salvation

This deck has almost no way to win. In a duel or even 3 player game, it just dies. Because all this deck does is help the other players. The strategy is to be SO nice to EVERYONE that nobody else wants to kill you, and they take each other out for you. Then, hopefully, deck them, or if they have any Feldon's Cane shenanigans or whatever, maybe general damage? (Phelddagrif is pretty strong, and hard to keep dead). But frankly, this doesn't outright win many matches, but it makes them awesome. And as a bonus, it lets me play tons of terrible cards that other players have to go 'the hell?' and read, then have fun benefiting from.



Jushi Apprentice could be a win card, but usually it just dies before I can activate the flipped ability. I don't have a Jace, but he'll go in here once I get one.

Anyone have any other ideas that would stay within the deck's style, but let it actually win occasionally? Or other awesome helper cards perhaps?

You need to play Coat of Arms for sure, so that you can name Hippo. And play Chronomantic Escape so you dont just die. Maybe Cauldron of Souls to give their creatures persist? Beacon of Immortality for sure, but I would probably name yourself.

Throw in a few combo-kills:

Guilty Conscience + Stuffy Doll can be searched out easily with Enlightened Tutor and the like.

Tunnel Vision with Spin into Myth, Bant Charm, Hinder, or Condemn. Not only are there a lot of cards to combo with Tunnel Vision but they're also each good on their own especially against Commanders.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some good kill combos in your colors.

For better defense you might want Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and War Tax.

I made a deck much like this one - and while I'm too busy right now to sort through all the differences you're welcome to look yourself.

I think you want Wall of Shards, not Wall of Swords. Also, Kavu Predator seems like a good complement to all the life you're giving away.

Yeah, meant Wall of Shards

Soma: Blue Braids and Indentured Djinn, of course! And the Judgment Advocates... must look into that.

Jotun Grunt? Helps you from decking yourself, and also can help others.
Reliquary Tower could save you from overdrawing.

I like the concept. I usually always duel, if I did multiplayer more regularly I'd like to make a deck like this.

Love the idea of the deck. I do think you might want a tad more protection. What about Aurification? Charity goes a long way, but especially in big games quite often if you dont have a defense, you've just supercharged rtheir attack, so if they aren't in a good mood, your really screwed (just hope people like the extra... well... everything). Aurifiaction would be nice. It doesn't hrut anybody so it doesn't make any enemies, but its a very strong deterrent from attacking you.

I love the use of Oblation and the rest of the "Answers that help" section. "Sorry, I really have to kill that Darksteel Colossus. How about 2 cards? Call it even?"

I'd recommend Noble Benefactor as well.

Where are Show and Tell, Eureka and Hypergenesis?

I don't own thems? Heh, well Show and Tell I do, that might be fun...

Added Jace and Horn of Greed

Oh it is! I managed to win a game a week or two back, my Phelddagrifs giving another player enough tokens to keep the strong third at bay long enough for me to set all our lives at 80 or so, until I decked them all off a Temporal Cascade and Prosperity.

Should be getting my hands on Hypergenesis soon. Eureka isn't exactly likely though....

Changed Weird Harvest to Captivating Glance. The Harvest favored aggro decks too much perhaps, while the Glance works wonderfully in multiplayer. "Enchant Bob's Colossus. End of turn, clash with Pete..."

Considering Clear the Land (helps with decking and a nice universal accelerant), Crib Swap/Afterlife (Dangerous creature-b-gone, but here's a consolation prize), Angus Mackenzie because it's goofy and hilarious and keeps people alive; Dawnstrider because it's easier to get and use (though less hilarious), Rofellos's Gift or Crystal Chimes or something in case a Disk or Vengeance wipes my helpin cards, Safeguard for late game stallings/keeping someone alive, Solitary Confinement as a stall/win condition, and Wheel and Deal as a nice 'hurry up and deck already' thing. Any thoughts on any of those?

I got an Oath of Druids! Perfeeect!

Edit: Eh, people don't wanna mill for it, doesn't do as much as I expected. Tossed in a Wargate instead to see how it works.

I don't know much about the format, but I think your deck would love this card...

Lich's Mirror.

Sure, people may try to kill you, but its only so they can get more free stuff. And, it helps you "deck" them to victory!

Wall of Denial seems like a good defender
