what im after is a deck built around recursion and reanimation, of their creatures and mine.
im new to EDH and dont have a real solid grasp on the amount of removal/tutor/draw/etc. that i should lean towards. I know most of that depends on meta, and im pretty sure im entering one that's rather wrath-happy.
i need suggestions for replacements, and especially cards to take out.
i appreciate all feedback, thank you!
im building a brion stoutarm deck geared towards multiplayer games, but i would like it to be versatile enough for 1v1 as well. im also trying to stay budget whenever possible, although i am willing to cough up the $20 for kiki-jiki.
iv been doing my homework, checking out other brion decks. most seem to include an equipment element, but to me it didn't seem necessary. im i wrong in this?
the focus of the deck is to grab opponents' creatures with Threaten cards, swing with them, then fling them with Brion. Removal, damage and lifegain at the same time
my biggest problem is with what cards to ditch.
here's the deck, its 112 cards right now:
