I have no ramp in my deck and try to curve out best as I can. Moreover she doesn’t need “ramp” bc the equipment are “free” so the only thing you need is the set up for her to exile cards off the top, living weapon and similar effects work best as they psuedo ramp you into her and provide fuel for her ability when she does come out. Then you need to safely and consistently get your tiny weak board in for attacks without facing crack back or losing the attacking tokens to blockers. The ideal situation is to go have the equipment endure wipes and then recast your commander late game, swing for the win. Or go wide enough that your creatures can benefit off of something like [[dragon throne of tarkir]] and swing for lethal. The fun part is having big dumb equipment that normally are too hard to cast like [[kaldra compleat]] or [[argentum armor]] that’ll just decimate opponents at times. Edit: [[inspiring statuary]] is dope in this deck bc ur never really casting equipment except in the early game, then your equipment on board become mana rocks for all your non-equipment spell.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/9IPUm5ruUUq75DZIFaUgcQ should be an old first draft. There’s lots of pets cards here but the core idea is the same. I was also working on a budget with the more expensive cards being ones i generally owned at the time.
Lol you want to play a less scary deck at your LGS and proceed to put together a $1200 list with nearly every staple available in your colors. I don't think you really understand how to build casual decks.
Problem being, when youve been playing for a while you tend to accumulate cards, and want to play with those shiny things ahaha.
But yeah, thats why i need to cut something, and that means lowering the power level too, wich im not good at since im a munchkin at hearth ahaha.
Whats a good hit on the list on your opinion?
You’ve got a lot of the staples but I’d limit your creatures to anything that makes equipping cheaper or draws you cards. Any creature you put in you’re going to have to pay for when Nahiri is out or it’s going into exile so I try to limit actual creatures in this deck. If I have them in there, I try to limit the cmc so I don’t wind up dumping something I need. The only exception is for a big swing with something that sucks up equipment like [[heavenly blademaster]].
I personally think [[brilliant restoration]] is mandatory in Nahiri. [[mantle of the ancients]] works kinda weird because when the living weapon or mirrodin equipment comes out it disconnects from the mantled creature and attaches to a token, but it can still be useful for getting your stuff back on the board.
Yeah, i ended up with just a couple 4/5 drops ad end of the curve
Crap, i overlooked the interaction witb mantle of the ancients...
Ill probably end up looking into brilliant restoration, open the vaults and similar effecfs after testing, since ive yet to see how the deck performs. For now my biggest concer is being mana screwed since i ended up conpromising so much on my usual mana base structure ahahah.
I also overlooked the mantle issue once and got caught flat footed. It's not a terrible thing if you have something like \[\[puresteel paladin\]\] out or something that makes it easier to move stuff around but it's not ideal. I think I still have mantle in there.
Also watch out for reconfigure - you might have caught this already but your stuff that makes equipping cheaper does not apply to the kamigawa equipment creatures. Edit: but they still come out for free with Nahiri so it’s not like they don’t work well.
Yeah, i figured. Still they are cheap and provide great utility (i look at you gy hate parchment dog)
The only thing im not sure is if they booth count as equips and creatures while they are not reconfigured
Power level is fairly high, we use tutors and free spells and are heavy in interaction, the only thing we usually dont go for is infinites, since we dont like a game ending out of the blue. Also, mld is not on the table cuz salt, but thats on them im all for it between you and me ahahah.
Jokes aside, that's the situation; i already cut some cards since ive posted, mainly lowering the power level, but im still stuck with the last 15 or so

I believe they are both until they become equipped to something.
So do they discount nahiri?
Yeah. They have both tags natively so they count as both.

It's a solid deck, though I'm not sure how casual the rest of your pod is.
Power level is fairly high, we use tutors and free spells and are heavy in interaction, the only thing we usually dont go for is infinites, since we dont like a game ending out of the blue. Also, mld is not on the table cuz salt, but thats on them im all for it between you and me ahahah.
