{Archangel of thune} maybe

I feel like Serra ascendant is good but not really a good win condition because it isn't nearly as resilient as the rest of your threats such as Heliod or elspeth. It seems like you should replace it. Maybe {ajani vengeant}?

Yea it definitely isn't the best win condition. I didn't know where else to put it though, and it's too powerful to not include

Is it really too powerful not to include? I see a very very good offensive creature in a stax deck. Doesn't seem like it's too necessary.

I was gonna suggest {wing shards} but then I realized you're playing basandra lol. Also do you know how the prison effects work with basandras ability? Do they have to pay the mana if able?

Yea I'm pretty sure you do. I was on judge chat last night in that's what they told me.

I could be wrong... But couldn't someone just use up all their mana before attacks and then they wouldn't have to attack you...? Since now they are unable to pay for the forts?

[cltrn81]

The forts must be paid for regardless of the availability of mana.


Is pyroclasm good in edh?  I would think it to be ineffective in this format unless someone is running tokens and if they are running tokens then it is a good match up for you anyway.

Judge chat?

I think he means the combination between Bassandra and the forts. You are never forced to pay costs to enable attacks. However, since EDH, if your other opponents don't require taxes, you have to attack one of them.

And remember Bassandra only blocks spells, not abilities.

So if I'm reading this correctly, in a 1v1 when you have a fort out they don't have to attack when you use bassandra's ability on one of their creatures?

Besides all this, I think {ajani vengeant} would be really good in this deck.

They have to attack, but they have to pay if they can, granted they can float mana pre combat..

From the card rulings:
If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
