DemonDragonJ on Advice for a Green/White EDH …

1 month ago

I am planning to build a green/white EDH deck, with Sigarda, Host of Herons as the general, so I would like to ask for advice on constructing it.

Most decks that have the original Sigarda as the general tend to be either "Voltron" decks (i.e., making the general as powerful as possible) or "enchantress" decks (i.e., focusing on enchantments), so I would like to make my deck slightly different from the typical Sigarda deck; specifically, I plan for the deck to have three major themes: a focus on gaining life, but not quite to the extent of my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck; a focus on generating creature tokens, but not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exile deck; and a focus on putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not to the extent of my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck; in other words, it shall be a "jack of all trades" deck, but with plenty of synergy and overlap between those themes. Sigarda does not directly contribute to any of those themes, but I chose her as the general, because she is very difficult to remove, once she is on the battlefield, and I feel that this type of creative and unusual deckbuilding is good and should be encouraged.

First, for gaining life, I am considering cards that make it easy to do so, such as True Conviction, Dazzling Angel, Archangel of Thune, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Sunscorch Regent, Oracle of Nectars, and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, as well as cards that offer payoffs/rewards for gaining life, such as (again) Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, Trelesarra, moon dancer, Blossoming Bogbeast or Trudge Garden.

Second, for generating creature tokens, I am considering Vernal Sovereign, Aura Mutation, Trudge Garden (again), Selesnya Guildmage (possibly), or Scepter of Celebration, and, for cards that reward me for generating tokens, I am considering Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Dazzling Angel, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

Third, for placing +1/+1 counters on creatures, I am considering Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Archangel of Thune, Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Sunscorch Regent, Forgotten Ancient (possibly), and (possibly) Vigor, and, for cards that allow me to use those counters as payment for other effects, I am considering Fertilid, Mindless Automaton, (possibly) Ooze Flux.

Notice how many of those cards have synergy and overlap, allowing me to pursue three themes in a single deck, and I also plan to have a number of generically good cards that I use in many of my decks, such as True Conviction, Mirari's Wake, Seedborn Muse, or Sigarda, Font of Blessings, as well as several cards that I have not used in any of my previous decks, thus far, such as Hydra Broodmaster, Pledge of Loyalty, Camaraderie, Commander's Plate, Behemoth Sledge, Shield of the Oversoul, or Veteran Beastrider. I also am considering putting either Valkyrie Harbinger or Kalonian Hydra into this deck, but I do not wish for this deck to be too similar to any of my other decks, so I would prefer to avoid putting those cards into this deck, if I can avoid doing so, and I also am not yet certain about Doubling Season, staff of completion, or Selvala, Explorer Returned, since those cards would be awesome in this deck, but I do not wish to use them in every deck in which they would be a good addition.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you think that this is an interesting idea, and what suggestions can you make, for me? Thank you, very much, and I certainly am awaiting everyone’s responses!

Holy crap Vigor would go amazing in it.....there's plenty of self mill cards I just got to find the eight ones that work the best and I'm pretty sure there's cards that put stuff from library to grave for graveyard decks....this whole deck is just I had a Horde of Notions and a bunch of elementals laying around in my collection and just kinda threw it together and it somehow works....it's my keep it casual deck so I also don't want to make it too powerful....I do want to keep it in the strong power level 7 to slow power 6 range.... it is super slow I usually spend the first 6-8 turns ramping so I can eventually make a big board and/or start doing stuff....but when he's able to pop off he can pop off and make a huge buff board

Maelstrom Wanderer would be a pretty awesome bomb to finish off the game. I almost wonder if you figure out ways to get really big expensive elementals into your graveyard and then cheat them onto the battlefield with Horde of Notions's ability.

Also, Vigor is my favorite card in all of MTG. If you are ever looking for some different elementals he might be a good option.

Vigor can be good to add, i'm going to try it.

Contagion Clasp & Contagion Engine Personally I feel that the engine is too slow as a four mana ability, but the double proliferate can be very nice. I prefere to keep Evolution Sage and Flux Channeler because they are pretty solid body to enable a lot of proliferate in the same turn.

How about Vigor? Also, Contagion Clasp or Contagion Engine would seem nice.

Nice list! What are your thoughts about Blasphemous Act? It interacts nicely with Vigor.
