#Urtet Sunburst?

As I'm still trying to build Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate... I keep finding that more color options would be optimal in various ways... PURE Colorless is starting to cost more and more for what I want it to do, and even then it's hard: I have to use 2-3 cards more, to equal a single "colored" card... so I think the next best option I've found, and colorless cost, no less is Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch.

#

Has anyone tried using [[Flux Artillery]] and doing a +1/+1 Counters build?

Never tried it personally, but I do like the idea of versatile casting capability while attempting to cast with as many colors as you can. Perhaps you could include a side of Modular/Arcbound to take advantage of the counters? Could include [[Ozolith]] for counter preservation.

stuck pagodaBOT
#

Multiple cards match “Ozolith”, can you be more specific?

silent mango
#

[[The Ozolith]]

#

How heavily would you want to rely on colored spells?

prisma zodiac
#

With enchantments like [[Doubling Season]], [[Annointed Procession]], &/or [[Parallel Lives]] used in conjunction with, [[Abstruce Archaic]] & [[Wandering Archaic]], it seems potent

Whenever an opponent casts an instant or sorcery spell, they may pay mana2. If they don't, you may copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Each player looks at the top five cards of their library and may reveal a land card and/or an instant or sorcery card from among them. Each player puts the cards they revealed this way into their hand and the rest on the bottom of their library in a random order. Each player gains 3 life.

lmao

#

like minds

#

cards like Chromatic Lantern & Orrery

silent mango
#

Haha, yeah it seems like you could easily build up the 30 counters required for continuous shots.

prisma zodiac
#

Mycosynth Lattice to make everything colorless & artifact

#

& mana every color

#

seems crazy fun

silent mango
#

Definitely a lot of ways to combo with that setup.

#

[[Freed From the Real]] the Archaic and you could kill the table in one turn.

stuck pagodaBOT

#

even [[Painter's Servan]]

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

nvm, wrong card

#

I meant the one where all creature types are the chosen type

silent mango
#

Oh good, here I was wondering how you'd use Painter

prisma zodiac
#

can't remember what it's called

#

think it was a black enchantment

#

I've heard it was a Judges' Nightmare to include both Painter's and Mycosynth in the same deck lmao

silent mango
#

Arcane Adaptation is one

#

[[Arcane Adaptation]]

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

that would do the trick for sure

#

make it Myr

silent mango
#

Makes sense. 9 other creatures would result in 30 counters with 1 activation

prisma zodiac
#

Yup, and I could even include the other Com I'm trying to build [[Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate]]... if I had Mycosynth in play that is

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

then throw [[Golden Argosy]] in there, attack and return them all face up

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

pretty brutal if you can pull it off

silent mango
#

Also [[Mirror Entity]]

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

true

#

wouldn't need to turn them up

#

colors definitely add options

silent mango
#

and [[Maskwood Nexus]]

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

ooo, good one

#

I always loved that card

#

I could never find a good use for it tho XD

#

in here it would be awesome

silent mango
#

Hah, well it's nice to have "oops all Myrs" active whenever you can.

prisma zodiac
#

true

#

How heavy should I be in the anthems do you think? Like [[Vanquisher's Banner]]

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

that's a given, for the draw, just curious about more

#

In sunburst Cost Reducers seem like a downside

#

so there's a bit to consider

silent mango
#

I'd say keep anthems limited. They'll clog your focus, and you'll probably prefer to keep things bent towards Counters rather than passive buff.

prisma zodiac
#

👍

#

Any thoughts on Proliferate effects? From what I've researched, it almost seems that proliferate, and counters are 2 different focuses, even tho they have synergy

silent mango
#

You may want to include a few actual Myr as well.

[[Myr Galvanizer]]
[[Myr Propagator]]
[[Myr Welder]]
[[Shimmer Myr]]
[Myr Battlesphere]]

stuck pagodaBOT
silent mango
#

[[Myr Battlesphere]]

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

already have those, as well as [[Suntouched Myr]]

stuck pagodaBOT
silent mango
#

Proliferate is going to be helpful if counters are always present. [[Contagion Clasp]] and [[Contagion Engine]] are good options for reliability.

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

in this case [[Throne of Geth]] would be godlike

stuck pagodaBOT
silent mango
#

I like that one

#

[[Atraxa, Praetors' Voice]] might actually be a worth 99 include here

stuck pagodaBOT
silent mango
#

bit restrictive on casting, but if it gains sunburst it would be an 8/8 that continually proliferates

prisma zodiac
#

I've always known she was a badass... even NOT as commander lmao

#

definite include

silent mango
#

True

#

[[Vraska, Betrayal's Sting]] mayhap

stuck pagodaBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Vraska
Compleated (manabp can be paid with manab or 2 life. If life was paid, this planeswalker enters with two fewer loyalty counters.)
0: You draw a card and you lose 1 life. Proliferate.
−2: Target creature becomes a Treasure artifact with "manat, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color" and loses all other card types and abilities.
−9: If target player has fewer than nine poison counters, they get a number of poison counters equal to the difference.
Loyalty: 6

prisma zodiac
#

hmm

silent mango
#

Though really I'd say keep your proliferate package as tight as possible. Bloating support packages too much can result in an unfocused game plan.

prisma zodiac
#

that's brutal if you're going the poison route

#

and the draw...

#

wow

#

I forgot about her

silent mango
#

Yep, my Brokkos deck (thread below ours) has seen a lot of value from her in initial testing.

prisma zodiac
#

It seams like I might be onto something... I appreciate your input!

silent mango
#

No problem! You can always just throw all the junk into the blender and see what playtesting looks like. See what lines of play evolve from the list, even if it's far over 100 cards to start with.

prisma zodiac
#

Absolutely! Last quick question: what do you think the downsides would be to include [[Enchanted Evening]] with [[Mycosynth Lattice]]? seems weird, but there could be potential

stuck pagodaBOT
silent mango
#

Hmm, well, making them Enchantments seems to open them up to more removal, without an apparent upside

#

If you're including something that affects enchantments or are affected by enchantment count, then it would make more sense.

prisma zodiac
#

fair enough I'll look into it... I know Anikthea could be fun for zombie token/enchantments, but that would be spreading it too thin methinks...

silent mango
#

Very much so. That sounds like a fun few thoughts for a very different deck.

prisma zodiac
#

yea, Anikthea has my love, I have yet to caress her... XD

silent mango
#

Hahaha, she does plant an interesting flag in the Abzan color wedge

prisma zodiac
#

Zombies, Enchantments & Artifacts are definately my favorite types in MTG

silent mango
#

I'd say take Zombies + Enchantments and run Anikthea in her own direction

prisma zodiac
#

Zombies need more love ( At least in the EASE of creating 2/2's)

#

so expensive

silent mango
#

Expensive financially? Or in Mana cost

prisma zodiac
#

All the good zombies only trigger off of NONtoken zombies...

silent mango
#

Ahhh

prisma zodiac
#

XD

#

sorry, I know it would be broken, but it makes it annoying

#

zombies SHOULD be a flood, sorry... not sorry

silent mango
prisma zodiac
#

anywho, yea, you've given me some great things to consider, so I'll work on it and update soon

silent mango
#

This has always worked for me in creating hordes, haha

#

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the resulting brews

prisma zodiac
#

I'll definitely check it out

silent mango
#

When you get a chance, would you mind checking out that Brokkos list I posted? I'd love some Cuts feedback if you have any

prisma zodiac
#

[[Conspiracy]] I found it

stuck pagodaBOT
prisma zodiac
#

I love "OLDER" cards, they have "out of color" effects more often then not

#

I'll definitely take a look, I love giving my 2c

I think I found a perfect enchantment for my deck: [[The Flesh is Weak]]
