I haven't built it in paper yet, but I have an Eruth deck I've been brewing on moxfield. It's a semi-cheerios deck, so it's running Jhoira, Riddlesmith, and Vedalken Archmage in the 99 to "draw" off of all the 0 mana artifacts being cast, and then it runs Saheeli, Sublime Artificer, Sai, Master Thopterist, and Mirrodin Besieged to make a ton of tokens off of those artifacts, and Urza to turn them into mana rocks. The deck can use Warstorm Surge, Reckless Fireweaver, and Goblin Bombardment to turn those tokens into damage, and if they're mana rocks because of Urza, I can power up a huge X spell to hit everyone in the face. One thing I really want to do with the deck is use the insane mana production capabilities to cast a huge Hangarback Walker while Warstorm Surge is on the field, and then sac it right away to get all those tokens and repeat the Warstorm damage.
Cut Inner Fire, Cathartic Reunion, and any card that assumes you'll have cards in your hand when you get it. I'm _this close_ to cutting Chrome Mox but it increases storm count
I have been eying this commander since it was spoiled. I was also thinking storm but the way you constructed this one sounds hella fun. Now, off to the library to pull the cards. Thanks for this, it's inspiring.
Just be ready to counter EVERY WHEEL SPELL YOUR OPPONENTS CAST. If they resolve even a single wheel, suddenly you lose a significant chunk of your library AND your hand (you'll only be able to cast the instant/flash cards). Also, Drannith Magistrate is a "kill/counter on sight" card, especially if it enters the field after Eruth, as it locks you out of your exiled cards.
I think that Bag of Holding would be a good card with Eruth, especially if you haven't discarded your hand already. Hive mind might also be a fun build around card. Just imagine the reaction from the table when you resolve Breakthrough or Windfall! 😁😎
I'm building this pretty differently. Trying the artifact storm build. Making it so I reduce already cheap artifacts costs to 0-1, and playing cards that say whenever i play artifact/historic/non creature spells, i draw a card, then throwing in storm staples, as well as payoff cards like reckless fireweaver, firebrand archer, etc. Also, harmonic prodigy is a HOUSE in this deck.
Great idea Josh. This is the theme i'm heading for when I strated brainstorming about her yesterday. I have seen couple card interraction that I want to consider: Null Brooch and Knowledge Pool (yeah I know they are not cheap artifacts but i'm also looking for weird not obvious ways of abuse Eruth ability.) Also, not sure if cards like Mystic Forge or Experimental Frenzy would be good. And being artifact matters for sure would add lot of rocks and with unwinding clock and shimmer myr could be a way to have the engine going. Have you think of Riddlesmith? And for artifact card draw i'm wondering if I would include Howling Mine, Font of Mythos...and Ghirapur Orrery (this last card seems a perfect fit, since in therory should be able to get that second "draw three cards" ability. Sea Gate Wreckage that I spoted as utility land. I'm really eraly in the deck idea (started brewing only yesterday) but wanted to share some cards i've spotted.
I can personally almost guarantee that Niv-Mizzet, Parun will win every time against Eruth. This is from personal experience where I was easily able to keep Eruth off the battlefield with Niv’s ability because of dealing damage from drawing a card from ANYONE casting an instant or sorcery. This is especially true when I have Gorgon Flail attached to Niv-Mizzet and deal one damage each draw to Eruth.
@@AffinityForCommander it was definitely annoying for the table to deal with. Initially when I cast the card, I don’t think my brother realized what it was and the extent of it’s ability because he said “that’s a cuttable card” lol
Yeah.. it is something i'm considering. Want to build something with her but it really calls for cherrios or storm type of decks. And I kind of find it boring when I play against opponents that snowballs and go off casting lot of spells and take turns that last very long. I don't have such decks, so maybe will try for the deckbuilding fun part and will turn out to be a deck I play once in a while.

Sounds like an interesting build! 😄
do you have a decklist for this? sounds fun

So glad you liked it! 😍

Oh gosh, we hadn't thought about wheels! 😱

is that a t-shirt from qwerty??
Great deck tech btw🤭
It is! I got it for him a few years ago 😁
I think I might build this instead of mivix. Although I'm sad I didn't see brain freeze or grape shot

A nice interaction with the flail! 😃

That is just demon like that's the type of deck you specifically make to make your friends hate you after that deck you won't have a playgroup
Like most of Alex's decks! 😆

Not really a fan of this card. Requires too much mana to really work and makes having interaction in hand virtually impossible.
It's not for everyone, but nobody can deny the unique ability can be powerful when played right! 🙂
