I’m just finalising my Killian aura Voltron list, so thanks for the timely video! Our play group is pretty budget but I’m really excited to use some auras that you wouldn’t normally see at an EDH table like Grisly Transformation.
I must admit I thought about a deck with killian/lurrus, but adapting an existing one I had built time ago. And to be honest, my theme is just the opposite of this, auras to control your opponents and grow uncontested, as well as a lot of graveyard recursion resources. But I like this one too, I think you did a great job!
Really like this deck. It's also in a good budget spot for my preference too. I hate the super budget decks that end up as jank, but don't want to spend a ton either so this is great!
Wow I'm building lurrus companion but with ayli. Totally missed the interaction between animate dead and relic warder. Btw you also can use dance of the dead instead of animate dead for redundancy
So a bit of confusion, Lurrus can be played regardless of a permanent not being 2 cmc? Some of these are 3 cmc so Lurrus wouldn't be able to target them but also break the 2 cmc companion requirements?
I am curious what the thoughts for card advantage are in the deck? The cost-reduction effects and the low curve are going to be double spelling very quickly. If you don't have Kor Spiritdancer or Sram out then you're in topdeck mode pretty quick.
There are a bunch of auras that allow you to replace them when casted (things like "when this enters the battlefield, draw a card" and similar). The best ones break the companion condition, but there are definitely a lot of resources in budget black and white decks!
Let me just go ahead and solve this for you right now...mishra's bauble & urza's bauble. With lurrus. Reccurable card draw (and info about an opponents hand or top deck) whenever you need it. :)
I know, two years later, but the decklist link appears to be broken. At least it's not working for me on mobile. Do you have a separate link to this list by any chance? Cheers
Hello, I have a question, I do not know how they can use lurrus as a companion in the killian ink duelist deck if in all the ones I have seen there are cards with a cost greater than 2 ???
@@CommanderMechanic I pulled a Lurrus when I got my Ikoria Bundle but never used it or took a second look at it. I was interested in using Killian now and this looks like a great plan for a nice deck! Thanks!

This is a great use for Lurrus. Totally missed that Killian added a sixth Lurrus-compliant deck to the format.
Karlov, ayli, killian, what else?

Great video 😊 Killian seems much more impressive when you take a closer look at that last ability

This looks super fun I am totally building this now.
Amazing! I love inspiring people with new builds!
What a cool deck. Great video!
Ok. I already wanted to build Killian.
Now I REALLY want to build him!
No Akroan Skyguard? It has Flying and Heroic and cost 1W so it fits in nicely.

Welcome to budget decks in white black
Card advantage is an issue, for sure. You're relying on your enchantress creatures or recasting cantrip auras with Lurrus. That's budget for you!
There are a bunch of auras that allow you to replace them when casted (things like "when this enters the battlefield, draw a card" and similar). The best ones break the companion condition, but there are definitely a lot of resources in budget black and white decks!
Lots of budget black card draw cards. It’s a bit similar to running Ghen.

Enchantments. Excellent.
All that glitters is an all star. I see what you did there.
Great video ! Can you please post the deck on other page please ?

Great video! I am very interested by this deck, but the link in the description seems to be broken. Is there anyway I could find this deck elsewhere?
I'm working on migrating all of my lists from my previous platform - keep an eye on my Moxfield profile for these lists re-hosted soon

@@CommanderMechanic thank you so much!!
Man this build looks so cool, too bad it couldn't really show it's teeth on CnCpowerhour.
Even a finely tuned deck just draws the wrong cards!
Oh no 😢 the link is broken. Looks fun
I want a 4color obosh deck, triple comander doble damage every where
Tymna/Kraum/Obosh brew in the works maybe...
Is ready?

Lurrus only restricts PERMANENT spells to cost 2 or less. Non-permanent spells like instants & sorceries can cost more than 2!
@@CommanderMechanic oh excelent ty
Really cool concept buI I don't see how that deck is legal with Lurrus as companion! There are several cards with CMC higher than two!
Lurrus only resrticts the mana value of PERMANENTS - non-permanent spells can be over 2 CMC

Hey, would you mind doing a non-budget version please? :))
I'll likely revisit a few of my build soon to do alternate versions ;)
Lurrus is better as the commander I feel like
