Description of deck by Frank Karsten
(quoted):
This is basically a black-white
aggro-disruption deck. It has a weenie mana curve starting at one and
going up to four, with the normal things you'd expect from a black-white
aggro deck, like Savannah Lions, Dark Confidants, Hypnotic Specters, and
Ghost Council of Orzhovas. And then it plays seven discard spells and
seven removal spells.
After board it transforms in certain matchups, becomming
a controllish build. You board in 13-15 cards and hopefully that is
unexpected. The sideboard contains Phyrexian Arena, Wrath of God, Angel of
Despair; all the good black-white control cards you would expect from a
traditional control build. You can even pull off unusual plays like Wrath
of God and follow it up with Savannah Lions after board with this deck.
The key card in the deck, what makes the deck tick, is
Martyr of Sands. Lots of people might laugh at playing a maindeck 1/1 life
gain card in a beatdown deck, but it's really good against Boros Deck Wins
and Dragonstorm. The deck is really good against Boros Deck Wins, mainly
because of the Martyrs, which buy you a lot of time to gain control.
The deck was built by Norwegian Champion Øyvind
Andersen; he is an underrated deck builder who also built the red-black
Satanic Sligh deck. |
