I was looking through cards from the Alara block and I saw Kresh the Bloodbraided and thought he could be a very fun card to play with as a general. I'm going to be throwing it together while I'm working, so I'll update every now and then so I don't lose anything.
Update: I've decided this is going to be my first EDH deck I'll actually have, so I'm going to be ordering cards for it. For what will be on the way, I'll have more removal than what I have on the list now, and not nearly as many nice lands, but I'll get there eventually. The version I have online.
Updated and Fixed the mana base. I didn't add too many expensive dual lands in here because I don't want to spend a large amount of money on here. Anybody have any thoughts on it?
Just play a game online with this deck, and I must say, I'm quite happy with it.
Once Kresh hit the field, I had 4 removal spells in hand and ready for him. I hit 5 power worth with the first one with my Jund Charm, 8 followed up next turn thanks to a Fumarole hitting an 8/8 titan, followed by a whopping 17 from a RG Firespout. Dropped my Shizo, death's storehouse and it was game over right there.
Played a few more games, and the wrinkles have been iron out slightly. I think I made the most satisfying play anyone would do with a Delirium... I hit a Blightsteel colossus my opponent hand just hardcasted ^^. Was a very nice play I couldn't have been happier with.
Made some changes, swapped out some of the more narrow removal for some that's more efficient.
I also played this as a 100 card singleton deck over the weekend, and I must say that I'm happy with how it's been working out. If I'm getting threated by everyone at the table because of my deck, I know it's working exactly how it's supposed to ^^
I've made a few changes, made it more destruction centric, as opposed to sac centric. Also threw in some new lands and added a few more forests. The last few games I played with this I was constantly getting G Screwed. Hoping that will fix it at least a little bit >.<.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Waiting to see if Primeval Titan will drop in price before I throw it in here, also waiting to put my Grave Titan in here. Going to see if something new can take its place in my UB deck.
Also, ever so slowly, I'm going to start getting this foiled.
I've made 2 more EDH decks since I last updated this, and I've realized this runs very slow. I need help speeding it up, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing that. Can I get some suggestions on how I could go about doing that?
