Description of deck by its author (quoted):
This one, thanks to the catch-all Beast tribe
to which the members currently belong, is legal at the moment, but will
become a lot more unique when the update makes these Beasts into Boars.
Another midrange beatdown deck, this one curves out with Gristleback and
Vulshok War Boar, with plenty of cantrips to make sure you can drop your
high-end fat pigs. Chromatic Star and Terrarion are there to fix mana
and feed the War Boars, with the handful of artifact lands in case they
can't be found. Your main removal is Savage Twister, with your creatures
large enough to ignore it except Gristleback, which makes a great pot
roast and mini-Ravenous Baloth instead. the Twister does double duty as
an earthquake-style game-ender with Coalhauler Swine in play: If you can
get a Loxodon Warhammer on the swine beforehand, so much the better.
Between the cantrips and the high cost threats, the deck
has a good chance of being able to rebuild after a wrath, and you have
enough trampling fat to ruin anyone's day. A quick aggro or flying tribe
will give you problems unless you can force them onto the back foot: The
hammer stacks races in your favor and can buy time to find and cast a
Twister. Don't be too quick to pop the manafixers, as the War Boars may be
just around the corner, but if you need to dig, do so. |
