Skullbriar EDH

by Thebeeja on 02 March 2013

Main Deck (99 cards)

Sideboard (5 cards)

Creatures (3)

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

Primary thought is to buff up skullbriar loads, give him trample and call it GG. Alternatively we can kill enemy mobs, let own mobs die for various reasons (death's presence says hi) and maybe even buff up other mobs because why the hell not.
Sideboard is basicly what i want to get in the deck (jitte and sofaf never in a million years, too poor). Skullbriar is ofc there as the commander

Its six counters on briar, more every time he attacks for six mana ... its worth it, skull briar has been my irl general since he came out I know how he works .

1 counter less for 2 mana less through increasing savagery

And... its 7 counters if you attack. Savagery takes up the spot you use for harmoize but your clearly one of those try hards who cares about mana cost in edh

Wrong, i don't see myself as a tryhard, hell, this is my first EDH deck. I just hate having lots of 6+ mana spells in my decks as i find them to come into play when its too late. Therefor stuff really needs to be worth it for me justifying expensive spells, and i find shape of the wiitigo to be replaceable by Increasing savagery

First, cool deck.
Second, why not run both savagery and wiitigo.
id also run stuff like natures blessings (Avacin Restored) and primal cocoon.

If you're thinking of blessings of nature, i already have it :p I don't really like the cocoon as i want to attack with briar alot, and if i do that, cocoon is gone. It is such a niche choice that i think i'll pass on it.
As i wrote in one of my earlier comments, i didn't like wiitigo due to the mana cost. I would have taken it if i had more mana fetch, but then i'd loose out on either some useful creatures or some other +1/+1 counter generation, or killspells which already are scarce in it.

Why not put in the new Jarad?
Other than that I really like it.

Love the deck, few suggestions, if u care for mana and just wanna go hammer drop in the green preator fromj new phyrexia , caged sun and genesis wave....um idk maybe phyrexian alter? Idk u also need some draw to speed up the counters, maybe bloodgift demon, underworld connections, temple bell, howling mine, maybe font of mythos, idk u also got creatures that depend on graveyards, maybe a sands of deliriums will help?? Idk also few other creatures like terastodon(not bad for a 9 drop) also some board wipe, maybe damnation, dread cacodemon, revier demon, avatar of woe is a nice killer idk man this deck is nice just need to make it pop. (Few suggestions my ass) lol

Love this deck - recently made my own Skullbriar EDH build, but never considered cards like Death's Presence and devour cards - http://www.mtgvault.com/buzzgsc/decks/skullbriar-cracking-skulls-edh/

One big question - Where is Varolz, the Scar-Striped !??!?! Seeing as you're not running a reanimation package, he is simply insane in this deck as you can just scavenge away the creatures filling up your yard for counters on Skullbriar ! Some other little suggestions would be cards like Eternal Witness and some more removal cards to protect and restore your game plan, and most definitely Vigor (seriously just check it out - insane for this deck). Great build though mate :)

I like the vigor idea (completly forgot the bugger :p) so def gonna find a spot for him :) Not going varolz because 1: im expecting him to get banned in all but standard because ridiculous; 2: i have a number of cards relying on stuff in graveyards, including my own (lord of extinction, sheoldred) so i'd rather boost them/have them be useful than buff my skullbriar, i find focusing only on your commander is silly if he gets wrecked every time you cast him. Also thanks for reminding me of getting stuff outta my graveyard ta me hand, but i think i'd rather grab a genesis and sac it somehow...
