*5 + 7 = 12* ... So close video Pat, so close. 12:14 - very excited to be playing this deck. Be sure to come out (stay in?), help a good cause, set up your web cam and get some games in as well!

I just built a version of this deck based on your previous stax blueprint, it works really well, one of my favorite of my eight commanders. Running mono white really feels like it needs those stax pieces to slow down the plethora of explosive decks coming out nowadays.

I'm building an Ardenn Intrepid Archeologist paired with Akiri Line Slinger voltron/artifact deck which basicly operates a lot like Balan but can be set up earlier. Tho Boros may be the worst edh color pairing it does offer access to Sunforger and other cards like Goblin engineer, Dockside Extortionist, Imperial Recruiter, Jeska Thrice Reborn and new draw cards like Wyleth and the new Akiri. And it's super convenient that even if Akiri gets shut out then at least I can maybe fall back on Ardenn to get the job done

Just put together a deck for him, 50% equipment and 50% enchantments with maybe 5 removal spells. Can deal commander kill damage in 4-5 turns, super fun.

Love your energy Patrick! BTW I think Balan is a she, the translated versions use the feminine genre of knight. Doesn't matter anyway, great video

Duly noted: I had no clue, thanks for letting me know!

This deck wouldnt win any game in my meta. Its also pretty low on equipment. To much cards that rely on other cards, and weird combos that just wont assemble that easy.

[@snarferyasmr3739]

My version of this deck only has 3-4 creatures and they are used to make him unblockable or enchant him... this thing should be equipment up the wazoo.

Hmm mana crypt, mana vault, mox opal…. High powered white, might as well go stax all the way
