Description of deck by its author (quoted):
The idea with this switch-out of Godo for
Kokusho and the inclusion of Tatsumasa is obvious. However, what is not
obvious is how well this deck works now that Godo is included.
For a start, Shinka is just unfair when Godo is on the board. Same goes
for Keiga, but with Godo getting two attacks a turn there is no room for
blocking that guy. Tatsumasa, of course, is your primary – well, only –
target. No one wants you to untap with Tatsumasa in play, let along
stick it on a Godo for a First Striking (thanks Shinka!),
untapping-after-attacking-twice (thanks Minamo!) face-beater. Even after
Godo is Putrefied/Mortified, Tatsumasa can turn into reusable life-gain
with nine mana and Miren.
It sounds silly, but probably only to those who have no experience with
Eminent Domain. You have a ton of mana thanks to Annex and eight
Signets. You have plenty of card draw (Compulsive Research, three
Tidings) and you have lots of weenie removal (Pyroclasm) and Loxodon
Hierarch/Burning-Tree Shaman removal (Wildfire).
Godo is the secret that utterly destroys the mirror match, taking this
deck to the next level. Decks that have been geared to defeat 5/5 Flying
Legendary Dragon Spirits cannot deal with a creature that pulls out a
huge beatstick and then, well, beats you to death with it. They can deal
with Godo but not the equipment, or the other way around. This double
threat turns the deck from good… to great.
