Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
The idea is to land accelerate into tutoring
then casting the Machinegun combo. Barring that, stalling until I can
Top them out. Barring that, just straight Defense of the Heart-ing them
out. The best part: if you get a Warhammer onto a Triskelion, voila!
Infinite life. (shoot itself an arbitrarily large number of times with
the Vampire). The idea being this deck can survive the time it takes to
hardcast the freakin' Machinegun, or use several other ways to get it
out and save the stall for when you need it. The Beacon is my out in
case I hit a stall, since I can claim it's impossible to self-deck and
therefore end things in my favor. So many things are kinda random, but
put any of the bits together and the whole is way awesomer than the sum
of its parts.
Mephidross Vampire & Triskelion - The Machinegun.
Obvious purpose in the deck, which is to be sexy and awesome.
Sakura-Tribe Elder - Mana acceleration, chump blocker, mana fixer.
Netherborn Phalanx - tutors out whichever half of the Machinegun I'm
missing.
Traproot Kami - ultra cheap stall.
Kodama's Reach - Efficient mana fixing and acceleration.
Loxodon Warhammer - On Triskelion for infinite life, or any minor creature
to buy more time with life. Pulls artifact hate away from Triskelion early
game, since people misjudge the threat.
Divining Top - Perfect in a combo deck, helps find pieces, fix mana, and
make sure I draw what I need. Or gives me a draw before a shuffle hits.
Sun Droplet - One of the most efficient multiplayer early game stall
engines.
Defense of the Heart - Alternate tutoring method, easy combo activation.
Beacon of Unrest - Anti-self-decking, hilarious and unexpected.
EDIT: PC's recent changes:
-1 Beacon of Unrest
-3 Loxodon Warhammer
-4 Netherborn Phalanx
+1 Demonic Tutor
+4 Exhume
+3 Weird Harvest
That's my current build. Now that everyone knows the deck, some
reanimation is required. I don't mind symmetric effects, since my
creatures are better than anything anyone else is using. 11/28/06 |
