Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
The Scourge set brought some nifty new Soldiers with it. One of them
is Aven Farseer, one of a cycle of cards that generates an effect when a
face-down creature is turned face up. The blue one (Aphetto Runecaster)
lets you draw a card, the black one (Fatal Mutation) destroys the
creature, the red one (Bonethorn Valesk) deals damage, and the green one
() seems to have forgotten to get made. Oh well. Aven Farseer is a
little flying creature that gets bigger each time anyone morphs a
creature. It has a wonky synergy with Primal Whisperer, a green Legions
creature that gets smaller each time anyone morphs a creature. That's
not entirely accurate, I suppose; the Whisperer gets +2/+2 for each
face-down creature in play. So bringing out a mystery critter pumps up
your Whisperer, and flipping it over then pumps up your Farseer.
These are just two of the surprisingly many combat tricks included in a
deck that has no non-creature spells. The combat math will be impossible
for your opponent to accurately calculate, because besides fiddling with
the numbers of the Farseer and Whisperer, you can deal extra damage with
Gravel Slinger, pump your Soldiers up even more with Tribal Forcemage,
bestow first strike with Wingbeat Warrior, and create a one-sided Fog
effect with Frontline Strategist. Other utility morph creatures make
sure your opponent never knows what's coming. Nantuko Vigilante has a
built-in Naturalize, and Whipcorder keeps your opponent's most fearsome
threat in check. Proteus Machine, one of my absolute favorite Scourge
cards, can throw off the math even more by flipping over-and becoming a
Soldier-for free. So even if you have no mana available, you can
surprise your opponent with an extra +1/+1 on your Farseer and an extra
+1/+2 on the Proteus Machine (if you have Daru Warchief) that can help
eradicate a creature (if you have Catapult Master). Lock & load.
