Djeru eyes wide open

Ok granted, a 23 cost first strike two card combo


And yes that is bloody over costed, especially since dkeru is useless without having the cartouche on the table. 

I get that ypu reaaaaaaly want to be right..... Goid for you.

What is really worrisome is that they sell him as some cool card you would actually pay money for. And concerns about him with vigilance were mentioned once the cardlist was revealed.

what about comboing him with seraph of the sun and a card that gives that vigilance or reach etc? Somewhat new to the game but i have the seraph and wondered if that combo of cards could carry me for awhile. 

btw by new i mean all my PWs are 25-30 and maybe 1 month of play time

I thought of that but seraph of the sun can't block.
you can use berserker but it's probably not as
good.

Once again I am corrected by @hawkyh1
Still, the idea was good!

(edit :I recommended Aj 2 for that combo with mantle of webs )

KnightzEnd

I dont have ajani as ive been playing a month or so now... but i get the idea... i mean it makes for a 3 card combo... where 2 of the cards are specific... but once combo'd i am thinking I could beat some end game content way way early 

KnightzEnd

I would have seraph, djeru, knightly valor, and a brawlers plate all in one deck.... any suggestions to add to this or ideas other then saving for ajani?

like hawky pointed out, Seraph can't block, so even with the mantle he will not be able to block attacking creatures (knightly valor + muder investigation is a good bronze strategy by the way)

KnightzEnd

I could be mistaken but i am 90% sure when i have used knightly valor my seraph has blocked attacks... perhaps i am crazy though, at my level of competition by the time i have seraph out with a brawlers or anything as long as my others have lifelink i am usually godly

KnightzEnd

ya nm seraph doesnt block so only brawlers plate helps me with that combo atm... but still for my level it seems like a hell of a combo 

hawkyh1

if you're using seraph of the sun with brawlers plate,
you could try adding cartouche of ambition to try and
gain back the 6 hp each time(it might work, you need
sorin though).

I have used the cartouche off and on as well... also the rest of that deck is all currently lifelink cats i slip in after seraph... but with djeru i would be able to totally trick the deck out just for that combo and creatire builders..... it may not be a strong platinum deck but consider i just hit silver a few days ago it should wreck for awhile

The first-strike combo may be expensive, but it could also be extremely viable against the right PVE deck.  It's always good to remember that some cards aren't as good in PVP as they are against 500-hp juggernauts.
