This thing is pretty roasted, but it feels good to get it tuned up.

How much rust on your 6 pack rack and Wald basket is too much rust? Asking for a friend.

Just wanted to share my Toluz, Clever Conductor EDH deck. A unique take on Esper, with a lot of niche/underplayed cards.

My Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/P4Y14JQJZUqqTVM48PuDDg

Toluz is a Bracket 4 deck with very unique win conditions. Toluz turns discard into a little storage bucket that you can trigger at instant speed using a sac outlet (usually one of the Flares, or a land like Phyrexian Tower).

You are trying to set up a scenario where you give yourself a giant hand:

1. Rip discards and looting and sac Toluz to put 15+ cards in your hand.
2. Cast Vanish Into Memory on a huge token or huge creature (like your own Orc Army).
3. Cast a wheel with Consecrated Sphinx or Teferi's Ageless Insight in play.
4. Discard a bunch of cards to Toluz with Ketramose or Bone Miser in play. Ketramose triggers on nearly everything and can - and will - kill you if you can't gain life with Confessor or Dihada's Ploy.

Once you have half your deck in your hand (which happens almost every game...), then you need to win. Skirge Familiar and Bone Miser can give you access to a lot of mana, alongside 0-cost rocks and rituals.

Wincons:

1. Play out Syr Konrad and activate a Jace's Archivist or cast Windfall/Whispering Madness. Usually a kill since your discarded creatures trigger Syr Konrad twice with Toluz/Bag of Holding in play.
2. Put out Archfiend of Ifnir and make a shit-ton of zombies with Awaken the Erstwhile or Tormod, the Desecrator + Discard, or Cryptcaller Chariot. These layer together.
3. Cast Flare of Fortitude to protect your life total and then cast Sickening Dreams.
4. Mill everyone out with Mystic Redaction. You only need about 21 cards for this - discard your whole hand to mill 42, then sac Toluz and get the cards back, then discard them again.
5. The best win. Strategically discard your Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre to mill everyone out with Windfall/Dark Deal/Whispering Madness. Works very easily with a draw doubler.
6. Drain the table with Sheoldred/Scrawling Crawler + Wheels.

These wincons all layer together pretty well. There are multiple lines to win in almost every game. The trick is balancing your resources and preventing yourself from getting blown out by removal.

Enjoy~

Just finished foiling out Toluz! Deck Link!

Do we need disclaimers? I feel like I need a disclaimer.

My meta is High Bracket 3 / Bracket 4. Nobody is impressed by stereotypical combos/commanders/wincons - we've been playing for 10-30+ years and are deep in the spice. No cards/combos off limits if you can pull it off with style.

Draw-Grow

I'm working my way through archetypes that I haven't played in a while and I don't have a "CardDraw.dec" deck. I am looking to build something that will reliably draw almost the entire library every game.

BUT!!!

I need it to be cool. Just this one time, I need it to be cool. I need wincons that don't make the table groan in displeasure. I am a fast player and can find lines in a 60-card hand without taking a 20 minute turn, I just need some cool lines.

So far this is my decklist: Toluz, Clever Conductor (High Speed Railed)

Current wincons:

• Draining out the table with [[Scrawling Crawler]] / [[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse]]
• Milling out the table with a giant [[Windfall]], [[Whspering Madness]], or [[Jace's Archivist]] while strategically discarding a shuffle titan to keep myself from decking
• Slamming a 40+ card [[Awaken the Erstwhile]]
• Slamming a 40+ card activation of [[Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor]]
• Zombie hordes with [[Cryptcaller Chariot]] and [[Tormod the Desecrator]]
• I KNOW this one is gonna get me cancelled, but I keep having a sickening dream where I draw a game with [[Sickening Dreams]].

Any other cool Esper synergies/wincons/strategies that layer into this beautiful discard-y pile? Any spice that you recommend? Any cards I should cut for not being cool enough?
