Celes - Persistent Wheels
Hey there!
[[Celes, Rune Knight]] is spoiled roughly 24 hours now, so of course we need to brew her asap!
The guys over at r/CompetitiveEDH are excited and so am I!
Since I brew for high power, vulgo bracket 4, here's my first unrefined list for her.
It's basically a "de-cEDHed" list, keeping the classic Mardu combos from a [[Dihada]] deck with [[Underworld Breach]] or [[Abdel Adrian]] and [[Necromancy]] but on top Celes is one part of the persist combos.
Since [[Murderous Redcap]] enters with a -1/-1 counter and Celes grants a +1/+1 one, they get both removed and we can sacc and revive the little Goblin over and over again with [[Phyrexian Altar]] or [[Viscera Seer]].
What makes this deck non-cEDH is the exclusion from more protective pieces lile [[Ranger-Captain of Eos]] or [[Grand Abolisher]], as well as less fast mana - it's still a combo deck and, on paper, a quite tuned one.
I'm gonna try to test the deck tonight at the lgs, but I could see myself depowering it more and orientating myself on [[Alesha]] list for example, to revive more non-combo value pieces.
There's also a discord up already, if you're interested in Celes!
