yeah.. as ive said, its not in here because its the best, its in here to be multiple cards at once. The deck is just so full with combo related stuff and control elements that there isnt much room for other stuff. Im working on trimming and finding a better alternative.

the only problem here is Jack. Hes an internet tough guy, nothing more.
Architects isnt even a problem. its not the most powerful card in its slot, but it is very rarely a 4 drop, its usually just an extra card at their EoT. Sometimes its a backup plan. it is a 3/3. thats why its not Git Probe. it draws a card. Thats why its not Delver. if you can suggest a better card, for the slot, I will try it out.

ive actually missed doing that....turn 2 Grizz into 2 fury, could not find the 3rd for the win. Thats part of the inconsistency of this particular reanimator build. Its silly good when it works, but it makes you look silly when it doesnt.

yeah, building around subpar cards can be tough. I run this guy in Pauper where it does nothing but draws 100% of the time, as its in a Jund colored deck that cannot even cast it.

lol. its just a 4 drop, man. its not that dramatic.

I dont really mess around with the Avatars as a tribe....I guess Death's Shadow or Progenitus...its worth noting that all the new "Soul" cards are Avatars, and a couple of them look pretty fun.

Edit: Marit Lage is an Avatar, so Im gonna go with that guy...:)

Disciple was a consideration, but with the need to actually attack, or commit more card slots to something like Springleaf Drum to get the ability to work properly, it just isnt that good here.
Im not saying Lazav is bad, Im saying this isnt really a deck that wants to be doing that. at least not at this point. This deck is more about stalling to a combo kill than swinging in for damage.

I have a collection of legendary creatures, and am only missing about 12-13 or something. Ive been playing for WAY too long...lol.

My UB EDH deck is Skeleton Ship, because I think its more fun, but it is interchangeable with Lazav, as its essentially just a UB control deck. I played Purphoros at a local 1v1 EDH tourney this weekend, and did very well, making the top 8...Hes probably my favorite commander right now. Isamaru is cute, but playing mono white can be limiting, and I think I would rather play Darien or Elesh.

yeah. it sets up your turn 2 Emrakul :)

most of the time, Architects are a bad Git Probe. I understand that this is not the most powerful card in its slot, but it is a body, or it draws a card. both things have proven relevant. I could easily run Delver in this deck, and have a fairly reliable offensive creature, but the upside of being able to cycle is actually very good. Lazav doesnt really fit into the deck, actually, because the majority of decks in the format (Modern) dont really run that many relevant dudes. I might get to copy a Bob or a Goyf, but, that doesnt seem all that great. Hexproof is relevant, but idk. Hitting an Emrakul with him would be absurd, though :)

Im sure Jessie will come up with something, and if he does, and its competitive, I will be happy to try it. Until then, ill keep tuning this one.

turn 1 emrakul is typically bad, as its annihilator trigger does nothingif you are on the play, and gets a land and maybe a one drop on the draw. The only time a turn one Emrakul is even reasonable is against Affinity, singe the annihilator is relevant. Otherwise you empty you hand and go into topdeck mode against an opponent with 5 life and a full grip.

That being said, its still fun to see the look on their face as they take 15 on the first turn.....lol

youre picking fights on the internet. I dont need to justify myself to you.

there was no negativity, youre just an idiot.

good one, kid.

you seem to think your opinion matters here, or that this is some kind of an argument to be won. If the only thing you have is that you dont like a card selection, kick rocks. You are an individual who's help I most certainly do not need. Seriously, you need to find something better to do with your time.

you actually dont know what im doing with it.....as evidenced by the cluelessness of your responses.

its possible that youre just an idiot.

youre the smart guy, you figure it out.

Hawk, I dont even think Jack can read. I thought it was fairly clear that I was answering an actual asked question, but whatever.

Nowhere did I say this deck was bad. I said it looks fun. Jack is just a miserable kid with nothing better to do than pick fights.

I do play online. it would be nice to see you back up your bullshit.

keep trying to pick fights on the internet like a 4th grader, kid. Find a new hobby.
