using this lazy saturday to go through my Braids, Arisen Nightmare EDH deck while whatching the #magicthegathering pro tour lets see if i find any swaps/cuts
at first i felt really obnoxious putting fetches into a mono color deck, putting them in mostly because i would rather play my cards than them collecting dust in a binder. But pulling creatures out of the yard at instant speed with the Witch’s Cottage and repeatedly sacrificing the Bloodghast proved to me they deserve their spot. also DeCkThInNiNg..
a recent addition to the deck was Temporal Extortion, because it falls in the category of “wait theres a black card that can do THAT” like the black “Counterspells” Withering Boon and Imp’s Mischief. In reality you are able to cast it when most opponents are at ~20 life and more willing to pay the 10 life… So i think this one will sadly have to leave the deck.
another card i picked up for the deck is Bloodchief Ascension. After seeing how @Graham_LRR wreaked havoc with it in the @LRRMTG Commander Masters PrePreRelease i had to try it out. With Braids’ Trigger it gives the opponent the choice to either: sacrifice nothing -> they loose 2 i draw a card or sacrifice something -> they loose 2 i gain 2
