How's My Eruth List?
Hello all!
I've been working on this Eruth list, and I think I've finally got it where I want it. So far I've only been able to goldfish it, but I really dig it. https://moxfield.com/decks/YFvQtt1WV02u3QYi6dUSeg
This started off as a bracket 4 deck my friend had been playing forever. It always stomped our table and I've always thought it was such a cool deck! So, I started looking into how I could transition it into a true cEDH list. The obvious was adding the fast mana, best lands, and best counterspells. The tricky part was realizing that not every best counterspell and fast mana made sense for the deck. Once you start the Eruth plan, you rarely have a hand anymore. So, it kinda makes something like [[Mox Diamond]] a bit weird in the deck. Same with something like [[Force of Negation]].
After looking up other lists, watching videos (what little I could find), and doing a ton of Scryfall searching, I feel like this list is finally where I want it. I need to try to get a webcam situation setup to actually playtest it, though. But, are there any cards or suggestions for the deck that anyone could think of to try?
I know it's not meta, but I genuinely think this deck has legs.
Edit: Realized I didn't even say what the deck did! My bad! [[Eruth, Tormented Prophet]] is a storm deck that ideally tries to push for a win on about turn 3 or 4. You use Eruth's ability to essentially double any card draw. That's why there's several cantrips in the deck, because with Eruth out, they're actually card positive draw. But you want to get Eruth out and ideally one of the mana producers like [[Birgi, God of Storytelling]] and one of the card advantage engines like [[Muse Seeker]]. Then, you just try to churn through your deck and build up a really high storm count, and likely finish off with either [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] or an [[Underworld Breach]] line.
Some of the big downsides, is that once you start the big Eruth turn, if you don't win, all of your cards in exile, stay in exile. That, and it can sometimes be difficult to make the mana necessary to keep going.
