Not quite instant, but Managorger Hydra, Taurean Mauler and/or Ishai will usually grow quite fast if not removed and will start the artillery in very few table cycles. Fractal Harness and Kalonian Hydra will also usually make the Artillery turn on in only a few turns
So I made a blaster, combat dj deck with modular. It is just gonna be a blast to put this and all will be one in there. Didn’t think id get upgrades for the deck so fast but it’s pretty neat
You could also turn it on with magus lucea since she creates token copies of creatures with their counter and she also just gives counters every combat phase which is what I will be doing cause she is my current favorite commander
This is one of the cards in my Jeskai Charge Counters deck. Honestly, the MVPs in that deck are "All Will Be One" & "Resourceful Defense"... when those bad boys are out on the battlefield, especially when I have Eternity Vessel out, it is pretty much good game. You just keep paying 5 mana & activating Resourceful Defense which allows you to move any number of counters... you just keep moving the large amount to other permanents & triggering All Will Be One. There is one card that I wished WotC would've used Charge counters for, instead of creating a new counter.. that is Descent into Avernus. I still have it in the deck because it puts a definite clock on the game & gives me treasures, but it sucks not being able to use Charge counters on it. The commander for this EDH deck is "Immard, the Stormcleaver" which is a Universe-Within version of the Street Fighter Secret Lair card "Guile, Sonic Soldier"... It is a Jeskai colored card who has an effect that deals with Charge counters.
Walking balista. Walking balista gains X+1/+1 counter where X is the XX mana spent on it. Pair it with a mana gen and you get unlimited mana and unlimited counters
Why yes @@Sa3vis, but if I want to make things dead, I am willing to go over the top. While I am at it, any "Extra" mana I have, I will also use Sands of Delerium to mill my opponent for all their cards in their deck, the exact amount so, on their draw phase, they lose too.
Pfffffff this is immediately going in my zaxara deck( that just happens to run body of research) I didn’t think about eternity vessel tho. Kinda smart for my land fall deck too
If your group is okay with silver-border, you can try to change their mind by bringing an Autograph Book with 30 signatures on it. Vexing Puzzlebox should be able to get up there quick, too.
I'm actually more interested in the first ability, to be honest. But then again, it is because I have a WUBRG Matters Jodah deck with lots of Sunburst and Converge cards in it.
Or you just play with fling and hit your opponent for 70 , then just keep reccuring both spells, very hard to pull off but it comes out of nowhere and when it works its glorious lol.
It kinda seems like a bad card for optimized edh and above to be honest, 4CMC that only activates during your end step that requires an investment to even get started seems steep, you have to at least have 1-3 turns to get it started then it only just pings your opponents for 10 once every turn. It seems like it is tailored specifically toward an artifact weenie style deck since in combination with the first ability makes it decent but i cant see myself putting it into any counter based decks instead of something that adds to the gameplan faster
This is prime edh right here: "I amassed 30 counters on something! And now I'm gonna blast ya for 10 with something else!"

Great idea!
There's also the 4GG elves that enter with +1/+1 counters equal to the amount of cards in our opponents hands.

Cool combo, but your short made me realize that Body of Research + All Will Be One basically lets you delete a single opponent...
Vexing Puzzlebox is also pretty good, could just be a little slow.

That's my plan too lol
This is going to be gas in that new 5 color myr deck
Ramos pays for himself now
I feel like this would be perfect to use with Vorniclex too. The newer one of course. You'd probably want a healthy amount of counterspells though
I'm just saying that body of research can be deviating if you have a way to give it trample. Pretty underrated
Working with the whole card a Ramos Wubrg deck could be fun plus the new legendary myr guy is also pretty bonkers with this.
What’s the name of the Myr?
body of research is so underrated in my local scene. it’s fr my favorite card
Body of Reseach finally has some utility. It's a cool 40/40 vanilla creature
Animar is a solid place for Lux Artillery
Perfect for my Zabaz deck. Metal Hornet is a menace from turn one. Mo counters, mo artifacts, mo table threat.
God this card makes me happy, love the sunburst and similar cards
Add simic ascendancy as reassurance.
If you have 20 or more +1/+1 you win

But then you don't need Lux Artillery because you have a ballista....

Going to run that in my Zabaz modular deck
This will be perfect in my zabaz modular deck
All will be one. Red enchant. Thank me later
Zabaz commander decks gonna be crazy
My ENTIRE Zaxara deck.

Luxior Gihada's Gift on a Devoted Druid would make infinite counters.

This in kathril is kind of nutty
Mmm yes reminds me of lux cannon 😊
*slides it into my Necron deck*
Osgir loves this to churn out multiple copies meaning at least 20 a turn
Wonder if a Colorless deck would do well in Commander play?
Zaxara will love this
7 other non-creature artifacts, overloading rise and shine, and corrupted conscious onto lux artillery seems like a pricey, spicy combo
I mean dark depth enters with ten counters alone and it's a land, yes I know it doesn't produce mana by itself.
Artillery only counts on artifacts and creatures
@@Volvary bah humbug I didn't read that. Lol
"so anyway i started blasting"
Paradox engine.
It'll take time but make it hexproof and it's certain
Play it in Vorinclex thé walking doubling season
Looks like e freebie in my Thalisse deck.
Turn it into a creature and give it infect then win.
Karn, the great creator's + ability it then triumph of the hordes?
Yeah, but if you have that many counters in one place, you should be winning without this.
Super friends?
I must immediately start building a Ramos deck based entirely around getting to 30 counters and blasting people in the face with this card
Better yet, go with Ramos+Lux Artillery+Fist of Suns+ Sac engine for infinite WUBRG.
@@Firemind_EX which Sac engines?
@@danthemankandy whichever ones you'd prefer to run.
ramos dragon engine
Nice

Lol I've tried that before in a temur deck. I always found myself waiting for FLING or other my Bloodshot Cyclops
