ARTIFACT FIREBALL! | Alibou Ancient Witness EDH Deck Tech

[@jacobjensen7704]

I think my favorite part of this commander is the name- Alibou sounds like alibi, and he's an ancient witness!

[@RaventhornSpiritsong]

Ok hear me out. With all the scrying you'll get to do, add the following pieces: Palladium Myr Cogwork Assembler Myr Galvanizer You generate 8 mana mainly using Myr (using Galvanizer to get there if you need to), use 7 of it to activate Assembler's ability targeting Galvanizer, then use the last mana to activate the token Galvanizer. Infinite mana, infinite tokens, infinite "scryer-ball" with Alibou.

[@mmartak]

Notably absent, but I would definitely consider adding: Jhoira's Familiar Mycosynth Golem Toggo, Goblin Weaponsmith Burnished Hart / Solemn Simulacrum Blightsteel Colossus Darksteel Forge Fiery Emancipation

[@pauldyson8098]

Also, it's wicked fun to say "Alibou," and that counts for a lot.

[@dr.lemonade242]

I was actually intrigued by Alibou too. It's awesome to see a deck tech on it.

[@dorsalfin22]

Great deck tech DJ! So many fun colorless cards have come out this past year I cannot wait to finish my own artifact deck with Traxos!

[@travisbecker4948]

I've still got the Lorehold precon in the box waiting for something exciting like this! Thanks DJ, for working up a fun and different concept. I'm building this tonight!!

[@reymarkable]

Love this deck! So many ways to build around alibou...maybe vehicles would be fun

[@BlackWolfC091]

I thoroughly enjoyed this deck tech you made, and I am excited to build my own Boros artifact deck with Alibou!

[@nik700]

Inspiring Statuary is a pretty neat card that not always finds a place in my decks, but this seems like a nice home

[@BlueInkAlchemy]

Really liking the idea of Alibou with a Myr tribal sub-theme. They're one of my favorite tribes, I see a lot of great synergies and combo potential, and who doesn't love humming the Katamari Damacy theme when you attack with Myr Battlesphere?

[@AriousArchaic]

Unwinding clock, darksteel forge, Inventors fair, jahiras familiar, omnithopter of paradise, karn, legacy reforged, nettlecyst, living weapons, Those are some of my favorite cards

[@imalittlecupcake]

Thank you so much for this list! I modified it a little, but it has become my new favorite commander! I had been using Boros colors a lot but never like this! I'm subscribing, cool stuff!

[@soratsukihana2662]

Great work here and on the commamdzone ^_^

[@destroyingmlgz4616]

i am 1000000% buying this product

[@jonhadley5768]

One thing I noticed while playing alibou is how much her ability annoys other players, and that they very quickly started targeting her. Recasting at 7 mana is tough, but 9 gets downright difficult. Lightning greaves and other protection spells seem essential for protecting the engine on alibou. What recommendations do you have for how many cards of that type to include, and what are your recommended selections for those slots?

[@slkwillis122974]

I have a current boros myr tribal deck that this boi will take leadership of

[@Maezhughes]

Grafted exoskeleton ftw!

[@Pantjay]

Surprised I didn't see a Toralf in this deck. It would be amazing for when you overkill a creature with the Alibou trigger. Speaking of good cards for this deck, damage doublers and multiple attack steps would also benefit this commander a ton. With all the artifacts Blinkmoth Urn is an auto include. Damn cutting down to 100 cards gets harder every day.

[@Sentralkontrol]

Just going too hard into the commander. Only works with the commander

[@SilverwolfCommander]

Boros getting some love!

[@DarkSwan01]

and karn's construct tokens are artifacts too. sweet

[@thumbwrestler12]

Awsome deck tech! I'm taking apart breaya to make boros artifact

[@hbombguy2620]

This reminds me of boros brudiclad

[@JoshSuperNova]

This deck looks sweeet!

[@christopherdukett4158]

Gonna say that I think I finally found a general for my long awaited Myr tribal

[@PizzaHomie]

I'd love to use your deck list as a framework to build my own Alibou deck. But the linked deck list has Jor Kadeen as its commander and Alibou is not on the deck list at all. Is that on purpose or a mistake?

[@deividgarmar]

I liked it more that I expected .D. Still waiting for the "Awaken the blood avatar" deck though

[@monicalux5455]

unwinding clock

[@mrmckeown2255]

no protection from boardwipes? except boros charm. what about teferi's protection or flawless maneuvers for free if alibou is on board.

[@TheDustinW]

Random question that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere. Say I have a "discard engine" that allows me to discard for free, I try to discard a card and then said creature gets exiled in response to me trying to trigger its ability and discard, can I respond to it by triggering its ability again and still discarding? And continue to keep discarding repeatedly before it was exiled?

[@kingskelly859]

The only thing i would want to add is sword of feast and famine and Aggravated Assault to go infinite. Lol, old school boros is in my blood.

[@RaventhornSpiritsong]

I dub Alibou's second part "Scryer-ball"

[@pauldyson8098]

YESSSSSSS

[@natehull9951]

Could use cards like Lodestone Myr to tap a bunch of artifacts and pump him up

[@GodsRightHand013]

Pls show us your esika god of trees deck

[@AIMLESS-NAMELESS]

Throne of the god pharoh;)

[@AIMLESS-NAMELESS]

Also tempered steel

[@7250Glen]

Extra combat for more triggers.

[@rubyseverinwhitworth9066]

while this person is cool I think I am in love with Rionya, Fire Dancer

[@turbojugend187]

Cool deck, but 30 lands (32 including MDFC's) seems really low in this deck. Especially considering the severe lack of draw power included.

[@BristlyBill]

Hey what would you recommend adding for better card draw? I'm liking this deck but I agree with that

[@jonhadley5768]

If you don't have all the crazy 0 mana ramp like chrome Mox etc, just replace those with lands because that's essentially what 0 cost ramp is.

[@gladbandanna]

Heh! KARN-STRUCT.

[@Crisis941]

I see a lot of people sleeping on this card but it's honestly ridiculous when it gets going. I was playtesting it in Breya and it did so well that I'm gonna give it its own deck. Being able to scry through 5+ cards helps a lot with some of the weaknesses Boros has.

[@maskedfallen1331]

Ahh the deck that dies from null rod... jk

[@sorhue9420]

This looks expensive

[@chrisgallo2236]

Grafted Exoskeleton man… just saying…

[@lasterman94100]

Come on DJ, don't fall in the trap of calling red white "lorehold" when everyon should call it Jeskai with less card advantage
