Title: Bruna
Post by: Wally on October 08, 2012, 04:43:49 AM
Am I the only one that thinks {Bruna, light of alabaster} and {unhallowed pact} has some awesome interaction?

I put my early version up. I'm not back home till Friday and I don't have it with me. It's changed quite a bit, and I need more of her. But it's a start with what I have.

I so wish I could do this in commander with Bruna as the general. I do love it though, I've been thinking of building a bant-chantment deck with new {ghostly prison}-like deal from RTR (name escapes me). This combo may have to find its way into the deck.

That's the one! Would be hilarious in a Bruna deck, no?

Add in {enchanted evening} and {Etherial armor} also that one that makes other enchantments hexproof! (Or was it shroud)

Dangerous combo. One {serene heart} or {parselene} and its a total board clear.
Title: Re: Bruna
Post by: Fenster on October 08, 2012, 06:49:52 PM
Yeah. But maybe you could play evening only when you got some counterspells? Its an in the fray dessicion but you are right!

But when she attacks she brings back all enchantments...

Which makes this combo awesome.

Too bad enchanted evening makes her an enchantment too. So she would be destroyed as well by those enchant board wipes. 😭

True, but with {Unhallowed Pact} on her as Wally pointed out, she's automatically return to the battlefield, ready to revive all of those enchants again, including that unhallowed pact to keep her safe.

Wouldn't the enchantment die at the same time as the creature and therefore wouldn't trigger because the target would be invalid?
Title: Re: Bruna
Post by: Gorzo on October 10, 2012, 05:49:40 PM
Hmm... Good point. Not sure how that would pan out honestly. Do you control what order they go to the gy? If so you can stack it so Bruna goes first, triggering the pact...otherwise they die at the same time and Bruna stays dead. Bummer.
Title: Re: Bruna
Post by: Wally on October 10, 2012, 06:22:20 PM
I would have thought that if they all died at the same time Bruna would still have been the enchanted creature so she would return, however if she was un-enchanted first, then no such luck.
Title: Re: Bruna
Post by: Quackmaster5 on October 10, 2012, 08:58:35 PM
Problem is that they die simultaneously I feel like because it is a field destroy. Just like tokens enter the battlefield and gain all perks of entering together, I feel like this works in a negative way against this combo. It gains all the disadvantages of all being enchantments and therefore die all together making bruna an invalid target of the aura she had on her.
Title: Re: Bruna
Post by: Wally on October 10, 2012, 10:29:23 PM
The enchantment that makes all permanents enchantments _in addition_ to their other types. She's still a creature, she's still enchanted, she's still a valid target.

Either way she wasn't an enchantment in the original combo....

Post by: Double-O-Scotch on October 10, 2012, 11:35:34 PM
Neat combo. She's a bit pricey, though. Hope she isn't exiled. But good combo.
Title: Re: Bruna
Post by: Wally on October 11, 2012, 12:25:29 AM
Yeah a little pricey at 6, but in this current meta it's pretty easy to make 6 the sweet spot in your deck. Also you don't have to wait to play your enchantments before she gets there, she can just pinch them of others when needed :)

Opponent's ones too!
