C'mon man, just give up the throne already! It's no fait to anyone else if you get it for all eternity.

This will see Legacy play.

No king rules forever...

Other than Brago, apparently. Hell, he can exile himself so he could return to battlefield untapped.

Sorry Brago, but you'll only be just another pawn in my Ephara EDH deck... deal with it!

In the set he combos with Traveler's Cloak to become a better Lu Xun, Scholar General.

Decent size to CMC, built in evasion, a bomb of an ability. Great in a deck build to abuse his power. Good edition to any EDH, and even worthy of his on deck. I cannot comment on 60-card constructed formats as I do not play them. I know he will be a beast in limited, except for the fact that I am not used to multiplayer drafts. It will definitely do work, but with 3 opponents, for how long? Sad that he isnt Conspiracy-specific, but not ever card can/has to be in the theme of the set. Will be a strong card with out a doubt.

Can't wait to get my hands on this card! He is going to fit perfectly into my white/blue control deck where I flicker creatures like Fiend Hunter, Restoration Angel and Angel of Serenity

Blink got a bit boring for me, but what I do like about his ability unlike Roon and friends is that he blinks nonland permanents, not creatures. So, Runed Halo or Teferi's Moat can switch things up as the game goes on.

I like the idea of this guy in an Esper-colored Will of the Council deck. Continually flicker your Custodi Squires to keep getting stuff out of your graveyard. Switch Council Guardian's protections as the match goes on. Go for mass resurrection or mass genocide with Magister of Worth as many times as you wish. If you want to go out of the set and get really crazy, try something like Ashen Rider, or simply keep Vela the Night-Clad on the board to make each flicker that much more painful.

Hail to the king, baby.

Fun with Aurelia, the Warleader.

Roon edh?

Can he save your other attacking creatures from lethal combat damage with his 2nd ability? If not, then would having first/double strike make that work?

Versed an EDH running this today. This guy is scary good. To the point where I almost think he's broken in a good deck build. Blinking any number of non-land permanents is just crazy stuff. Spine of Ish Sah. Oblivion Ring. Any permanent that draws cards upon ETB. And that's not even touching on the creatures...

My favorite thing in the world is to flicker things. Thank you wizards.

His rule persists beyond death, but he doesn't have Persist?

Sloppy, Wizards.

Repeated, selective mass flickering each turn has some serious potential.

And aside from being Lightning Bolt-proof, he even comes with pseudo-vigilance!
In fact, all of your creatures can be untapped that way.
Abilities that require you to tap certain permanents you control to activate them seem really good with him as well.

Goes infinite with Aurelia, the Warleader on its own and with Aggravated Assault or Hellkite Charger if you have enough mana rocks to pay for the activated abilities.

Load up your deck with board wipes and make everybody hate playing against you.
Sunblast Angel is my favourite

@ hitorione Brago doesn't combo with Worldslayer. His flicker ability isn't broken up in parts it all activates at once. Either you choose to flicker him and other creatures before Worldslayers destroy action happens. Or you choose to do so afterwards. In which case you have no creatures to flicker as they are all destroyed. It is a nice idea but it won't really work.

Glimmerpost Stag, restoration angel, and Flicker whisp seem like fine targets, for double the funsies. (sadly, galepowder mage doesn't combo as well with brago)

Inquisitor Exarch and pierce strider seem halfway playable if you can expect them to stick for multiple turns. Include the Soul Sisters if you want a more lifegain-y route.

I feel like the chroma goat card has a place here, as does any unblockable enablers, like Whispersilk cloak and traveler's boots. Venser and his planeswalker card becomes a must, as he can make all of your things unblockable every turn, only to be bounced back to full power at the end of turn step. (brago also gives all your things vigilance, technically) I like the conflux cleric that taps for unblockability as a poor-man's substitute, and plan to include both for redundancy

Knight of the White Orchid and Kor Cartographer are Solemn Simulcrum s 2 and 3.

Ghostway and Sudden Disappearance both pull double duty. (ghostway is anti-wrath tech, Sudden Disappearance can whiff your opponent's blockers for a turn)

Stone Horn Dignitary is nice, as is any hand returning blue cards, like aether servant, mist raven, and voidwielder

Anything white that enters play and destroys artifacts and enchantments.

Treasure Mage for Spine of Ish Sah or Knowledge Pool?
Trinket Mage for Pithing Needle?

Banishing Light, Oblivion Ring, Fiendhunter, Banisher priest and the like plus Angel of Serenity, Sunblast angel for removal

Opposition seems nice, and custodi squire.

And for all the nice people out there who were kind enough to read my entire post: Doublestrike. Like Battle Mastery, just because.

@gordonfreechman. Your partially right. Both abilitys would be on the stack but you just choose to flicker him before the destruction happens. Combat damage triggers both abilitys.


Best way to lose your friends. Equip brago to worldslayer....
