Upgrades To Ashaya Bracket 4

Upgrades To Ashaya Bracket 4

So I’m planning on some generic upgrades to my Ashaya deck. It has some holes so I want to do a bit of patchwork or upgrades to make it a bit more streamlined

I don’t really have money to shell out $15+ dollar cards, especially if they aren’t deck specific. I’m already pushing it with $5-7 dollar cards, just for this deck. So no Mana Vault, Moxes or Worldly Tutor etc.

Anyways here are the changes

\[\[Magus of the Order\]\] -> \[\[Summoner’s Pact\]\]. An attempt to make a bit faster tutor.

\[\[Arboreal Grazer\]\] -> \[\[Wild Growth\]\]. Switching for more consistency. Not a 100% sure on the switch since Grazer becomes a land anyways with Ashaya.

\[\[Seedship Agarian\]\] -> \[\[Stone-Seeder Hierophant\]\]. A bit faster, the old one got more value over time but I’m trying to speed the deck up.

\[\[Crystalline Armor\]\] -> \[\[Song of Dryads\]\] More Removal!

\[\[Ugin Spirit Dragon\]\] -> \[\[Helix Pinnacle\]\]. Infinite Mana sink

\[\[All Fates Scroll\]\] -> \[\[Nature’s Rhythm\]\]. Another tutor

Now some of my tough changes

I want to change out \[\[Rampaging Baloths\]\] with a better creature producer. I’m split between \[\[Sapling Nursery\]\] and \[\[Scute Swarm\]\]. Scute Swarm is obviously much stronger but it costs $6 dollars more than the former, so is that 6 dollars worth it if I am on a budget? Remember I’m really stretching my money.

I also want to add \[\[Elvish Spirit Guide\]\], \[\[Crop Rotation\]\] and \[\[Kodama of the East Tree\]\] but only have a card left I M willing to cut, which is \[\[Manascape Refractor\]\].

As always if I don’t like a change it likely is that I want to keep it! After all, this is my pet deck and it being a goodstuff soup without me some of the cool cards would make it less fun to play.

I Just Got My First 1 Life Win In Forever

Context

We were playing Planechase,
Drawing a land card was gain 3 life
Drawing a nonland card was lose 3 life
[[Insight Engine]] with two charge counters
I would be dead on another turn cycle, and I had Kess out, with Demonic Tutor in my Graveyard

The Process:
I cast Demonic Tutor tutoring for \[\[Gush\]\]
I just cast Doomsday with 9 life.
I go down to 4 life.
Now this sounds like an obvious loss, how will I draw and survive. But after lots of thinking

Pile
Island
Misdirection
Island
Foil
Thassa’s Oracle

Draw Land + Nonland = 0 net loss.

I used it to stagger my spells and lands, going with Thoracle knocking me to 1 life

Draw it Gush + Insight Engine

Thoracle win :)

A Fun Twist in Our Pod The Other Night At a LGS

So I was playing with a pod, and we all realized “hey we [[Heinze, Toolbox]] decks.

So we added a twist. Instead of winning by getting everyone else to zero life, we gave everyone infinite life (honor system to prevent people from just abusing cards like [[Necrodominance]]), but to win you needed to deal 40 combat damage other players, and every creature had built in trample.

It ended up better than what we expected, blitzing out creatures swinging in to deal the most damage possible, rather than use pillow forting or playing passive

Would You Say Omniscience is a Win More, Finisher or a Value Engine?

[[Omniscience]]

I personally can see every single type. A late Omniscience / on curve is not as impressive (relatively) but cheating in/ramping an early omniscience can just be an insane value engine.

I guess if you have draw engine it just wins game there

What do you thing

(Honestly, it could be a game changer, it does warp games)

Does This Work Like How I Want It To?

Tap Devoted Druid for G

Untap Druid, putting a -1/-1 counter

Activate Top, Draw A Card

Remove -1/-1 Counter to cast top off the library

Repeat

(Average future sight top combo)

Empty Library

Cast Exhibition TideCaller

Cast Senre Remembrance

Restock Senre

Cast Infinitely

Mill Everyone Out?

Increment & Falco Spara, Good Synergy?

[[Falco Spara, Pactweaver]]

I'm making a Falco Spara deck, and the most important part is generating counters to remove consistently. I was vibing with spore counters but have thought about switching to primarily increment with the thought process of "If I cast a spell, add a counter, then immediately remove it to cast another spell off the top, it would work indefinitely, right? And they have more upside over clunky once per turn spore creatures

Would this reasonably work?

Which Escape Ability is Your Favorite to Use? Least Favorite to Play Against?

Includes: Reyna Dismiss, Jett's Tailwind, Yoru's Gatecrash, and Chamber's TP. Edit: and waylay refract

Personally, I enjoy using old Gatecrash to most, now Jett's Tailwind

Hate facing Reyna Dismiss, just annoying to see her, yet unable to do anything
