Need some Advice

by Hidiety on 22 September 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Use the Assemble the Legions in combination with Crusader of Odric to make her huge. Call out soldier with the Door of Destinies to give your R/W Soldier tokens a boost however they wont contribute to the charge counters on DoD.

How to Play

Haven't had very many good games with this one yet. Would like some advice on what to change. My main issue is that somehow I seem to get mana locked or don't pull creatures, both seem unlikely when you look at the card counts so maybe I am just unlucky.

Deck discussion for Need some Advice

To be honest, I would remove the black part from this deck. If you want to stick with the current color-combination then I would add some more dual-/ or searchlands to stable your manabase and/ or some carddraw.

You are also mixing strategy's and cards that normally belong more into a sideboard here, e.g. what use does "Elixir of Immortality" have in your mainboard?

As for your current cardchoices: I would replace "Door of Destinies" with "Coat of Arms" or "Shared Animosity" as both cards do something immediately after they hit the board (when you attack, that is) and don't need further spells to activate them.
If you want to finish with "Crusader of Odric" then I would play him 3-4 times and make sure that he get's to your opponent. Equipment with trample, flying or unblockable would be my choice in this case as you can use it again and don't loose it completely, like enchantments. "Whispersilk Cloak" would be a good example as it provides the equipped creature with protection (nor only from your opponents spells and abilities but also from yours, that's the drawback on this card) and 'unblockable'.

Basically after you already did some games, see which cards you didn't like or couldn't in your games, and try to find something better/ different for them.

My collection is rather limited so I don't have any of the cards you mentioned as alternatives. Elixir of Immortality is in the main board as a wee bit of life gain but mostly to server as anti-mil since it makes me shuffle my graveyard into my library. I don't think I have any red or white cards that have effects like Diabolic Tutor or Revelations. I am making a deck on here that will consist of all of my cards as a way to share my collection with others. I could link it to you if you would like, see if you spot something I missed.

First: It's rather difficult to search through collections as there is no way to sort them here on mtgvault by means of color and so on. It's hard enough to look over a commander deck, and that are only 70-80 different cards that should fit together. I can give it a try, but I will promise nothing.
Second: Do you want to play this deck only with friends, and do your friends also use a limited pool of cards? If not, you could take a look at some cheap cards your local trader/ gamestore might have, or you could also print them as proxy's.

I'm just a casual player, my friends collections are far more extensive than mine though so I will look into trades. I will make a deck for each color and just one for multi-colored, and one for artifacts.
