Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"## Why pay mana when you can pay life?\n\nThe Defiler cycle gives ramp and extra triggers, but needs you to be casting permanents so this will be a more creature casting focused build.\n\n**Considerations**\n- He doesn't draw cards or remove things, so it's important to focus on these two deficiencies\n- He triggers everytime you cast a spell of one of his colors, so it doesn't matter which turn\n- getting extra casts for free, either through spell stealing or cascade will get extra triggers\n- he definitely leans into a voltron strategy, so a Sunforger toolbox makes sense\n- opponents will want to remove him on sight as he gives too much value, so protection is crucial\n- multicolor creatures that etb for triggers, and a means to bounce back to hand will be a great engine\n\n## Aragorn, the Uniter EDH Deck Recipe (multicolor permanents and a sunforger toolbox sub-themes):\n\n**Primary Strategies**\n- (1.5*) 12 card draw (cantrips, play extra land draw) \n- (1.5) 12 ramp (green focus, consider green+other color to get extra triggers)\n- (1.5) 12 removal (some can be instants, but focus on creature etb removal)\n- (1.0) 8 flicker/protection/bounce\n\n**Secondary Strategies**\n- (1.0) 8 Overruns/Trample (easier to voltron)\n- (1.0) 8 Toolbox (why only cast my spells?)\n- (0.5) 4 creature token generators \n\n**Land Types**\n- Sac+fetch-lands\n- Fixing-lands\n- Utility-lands\n\n*Strategy ratio (makes it easier to check totals): 1 = 8 cards\n8 effectiveness = 64 cards\n\nMoxfield [ "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.moxfield.com/decks/aF2zF6M4YEioxvyq1qZ7iw"},"insert":"https://www.moxfield.com/decks/aF2zF6M4YEioxvyq1qZ7iw"},{"insert":" ]\nTo understand this deck building system better check out [ "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://8by8edh.xyz"},"insert":"https://www.8by8edh.xyz"},{"insert":" ]\nFor more detailed strategy breakdowns signup to my patreon [ "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://www.patreon.com/8by8EDHUniversity"},"insert":"https://www.patreon.com/8by8EDHUniversity"},{"insert":" ]\n"}]}
