[EDH] Sun Quan, Lord of Horsemanship (Updated 2010-10-10)

LiTaNia · 10-09-2010, 08:37 AM

Sun Quan(孫權) is the emperor of Wu Empire in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Based on the ancient Chinese history.

He is a son of Sun Jian(孫堅, Not available in MTG card) and a younger brother of Sun Ce, Young Conquerer(孫策).

He has so powerful ability in EDH. Makes all of my creatures almost unblockable!! Too bad he is blue creature because Wu Kingdom had strong navy so WotC represented the generals in Wu to blue creatures. If he is green or white, makes better usage to his ability.

Making mono-blue aggro is so difficult because creatures are not so powerful unlike the other colors.

If you have any better idea for this deck, please tell me. Isn't good ability(gains all creatures horsemanship) for mono-blue deck?

Consider some artifact creatures. You could cheat guys like Darksteel Colossus and Inkwell Leviathan into play with Master Transmuter.

I like the horsemanship idea. My suggestion would be to run more cards that matter when they deal combat damage to a player. (http://magiccards.info/query?q=o%3Ad...ame&v=card&p=1). I would especially suggest Thada Adel, Acquisitor and Sharding Sphinx. Other than that, just go big. I also can't recommend Arcanis the Omnipotent and Desertion enough.

Why no raven guildmaster?

any chance to consider confiscate

or converting this to a semi-control aggro?
