Description of deck by
Sean DeCoursey
(quoted):
The next deck I'll be showing you is a very
recent creation, but has a lot of potential due to utilizing the utter
brokenness that is White bounce.
The deck can create a soft lock with Karakas, Port,
Hokori, and Vial,
and does all sorts of nifty tricks with Stonecloaker, while the Karakas/Mangara
combo can permanently lock people out of the game. Some other Legendary
creatures that can be added to the deck include Masako the Humorless,
Cho-Manno, Revolutionary, and Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon". Eiganjo
Castle, Umezawa's Jitte, Enlightened Tutor and Sword of Fire and Ice
have also been tried in various builds.
GOBLINS: Every match will play out differently here.
Judicious use of Swords to Plowshares is key. Post board, you have seven
pro-red knights and Tivadar's Crusade. Game one you're going to need to
be much more defensive than game two, when you've got the sweeper to
back up your plays.
THRESHOLD: Their guys are bigger, but you have more of
them, and Glowrider makes a million cantrips.dec wear the sad face.
Swords and Mangara are your only real outs against an Enforcer, but the
rest of their dudes can be traded with on the ground. The fact that you
have eight creatures which can one for one a mongoose should not be
overlooked.
SOLIDARITY: Vial is key here, as it means you can
respond to that first Reset with a Glowrider. Game one isn't that great
unless you get the nuts draw and they somehow foolishly tap out into
Hokori. Games two and three, the additional cost raising from Sphere of
Resistance is a big help to your cause. True Believer is another bonus
card here. While none of these cards will do much against Solidarity by
themselves, the combination of all of them coupled with a reasonably
quick clock is usually enough to push through the win post board.
