{martial coup}? I feel like you don't really need the soldiers, so it's really just a board wipe for 7...

I think {Furoz's Ban} is kinda slow, and not terribly good (I also own a {Nether Void}...so) and probably {Blind Obedience}. I know you probably want to work the Extort angle, but I feel like you're doing better things then just slowing down opponents artifacts or creatures.

{No Mercy} is really good too.

{No Mercy} + {First Response}. Come at me bro.

{No Mercy} is the black {Moat}. Hell of a lot cheaper, gets around things like shroud/hexproof (doesn't target). Basically makes your opponent wait until they can one-shot you.

Which they'll never be able to do with {ensnaring bridge} >:D

{Greater Auramancy} is interesting, but doesn't {Aura Shards} just blow it up and then everything else? How has it been? It has piqued my interest.

I have yet to play test. At worst it's going to save an enchantment and hopefully I'll have a torpor orb for that.

Understandable. I'm leaning towards that, but feel like I would have to cut something that is a lot better then saving an enchantment. I'm going to test it Wednesday.

I run {Karmic Justice}, {Return to Dust} and {Vindicate} (amongst other things) to deal with {Aura Shards} directly, and you're in a position to shed some cards.

Need to cut a few cards. I'm going to add lands after I trim the deck to 60
A 60 card EDH deck? :P  Anyway, the deck looks great.  How much does it cost?

60 non land cards :P If I cut/proxy the $50+ cards, it's 300 dollars. If not it's $900.

Could I convince you to drop {Ensnaring Bridge} so you don't have to buy/proxy it? You don't want to top deck, you ideally want to draw cards. Bridge becomes less useful if things are going right.

Spencer Addington

And more than useful if things are going wrong. I don't like being attacked. It would be very hard to drop ensnaring bridge.
