Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Finally, you should also give some thought to what you will
do if someone else in your group shows up with a Chainer deck. Chainer is
a legend, of course; so you can’t have two on the board at once, and the
most recent copy dies. The two clearest solutions to the problem also
happen to be blue:
-Man-o'-War will bounce his Chainer so that you can play your own.
-Unnatural Selection will modify creature types so that only one Chainer
is a legend. (It will also protect your neo-nightmares, in a pinch.)
Using Unnatural Selection, it should be possible to have one Chainer
summon up an opponent’s (dead) Chainer: you activate the first Chainer’s
ability, then use the Selection to turn your first into a different
creature type – say, penguin. (I’m afraid I’ve joined the penguin creature
type bandwagon. These graceful, tuxedo-sporting, aquatic birds would add a
touch of class to any multiplayer or tournament deck.) The second,
resurrected Chainer comes into play. Check state-based effects – whup, is
that another Chainer already on the board? Has the legend already preceded
himself? Must one die? Why, no, not at all: that’s just a penguin, you
see; and while it is the sort of penguin that can raise the dead and
inspire nightmares, who’s to say some other penguin couldn’t waddle up and
do the exact same thing? (In fact, if you have another Chainer in another
graveyard, you might just want to do exactly that! Just make sure you
change the existing Chainers into penguins, rather than the new ones, and
you’ll have an easier time with the rules.)
Now, I’m not exactly certain what kind of benefit you can get from your
ever-growing mutated half-penguin, half-dementia-master army; but I’m open
to suggestions.
