Description of deck by its author (quoted):
To maximize the damage-dealing capabilities of
Stalking Vengeance, you'll want a lot of your creatures to go to the
graveyard. First, though, you'll need a lot of creatures in play. To
accomplish either of these goals, I hit upon the oft-forgotten member of
the no-mana suspend cycle: Living End. An update of Living Death, this
card forces each player (including you!) to sacrifice all of his
creatures. That sounds like something that might be decent if you've got
Stalking Vengeance and friends in play. The other thing Living End does
is return all creatures from all graveyards to play. Basically, each
player swaps the creatures he has in play for the creatures in his
graveyard. If you can fill up your graveyard with creatures (say, by
using Dredge cards like Stinkweed Imp and Darkblast), a Living End can
put Stalking Vengeance and many friends into play in one shot. Once
they're there, you can either send some of your creatures back to the
grumper from whence they came by sacrificing them to Dread Return, or
you can just wait until your next upkeep and let all of your other
creatures die then and there. Oh, did I mention that the deck is full of
red echo creatures, like Flamecore Elemental, Firemaw Kavu, and Tectonic
Fiend? Well, now you know. The Kavu is especially good with Stalking
Vengeance, since you can use the little "trick" (have the Kavu target
itself with its comes-into-play ability) to destroy it, which will
trigger its leaves play ability as well as that of any Stalking
Vengeances you have in play. The more Stalking Vengeances, the better.
You can tweak this deck any number of ways, like five
ways or nine ways. Pandemonium might be fun, since it seems like it would
work well with Living End. It's also nice with Stalking Vengeance,
allowing your creatures to deal damage on the way in and on the way out.
You could include other sacrifice outlets (Lyzolda, the Blood Witch,
Plagued Rusalka, or Scorching Rusalka) or other high-power creatures with
a short lifespan (say, Phyrexian Soulgorger). Creatures with
comes-into-play abilities (like Stalking Yeti) are always nice to recycle
with Living End. Planar Chaos has plenty to add to the deck, including
echo cards like Volcanic Hellion and Hammerheim Deadeye, or any of the red
creatures with Vanishing. Heck, you could even try to work in Wheel of
Fate. |
