Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
A couple weeks ago, I built some all-powerful
Tribal Wars decks. While they were undefeated and undefeatable, some
readers were disappointed that I used a couple of obvious tribes, namely
Wizards and Goblins. “Yawn,” they said yawningly. This week I hope to
make amends. With Drinker of Sorrow and Greater Harvester already slated
for inclusion, I figured I might as well go all the way and make it a
Horror Tribal deck. Those crazy Horrors, always working together towards
a common goal. While Hatching Plans is a nice permanent to sacrifice,
it's not the only one that is better off dead, especially in a Horror
deck. Shambling Swarm is almost always a two-for-one (at least) and
Mindslicer has a nasty habit of putting each player into topdeck mode,
which is not a bad mode to be in if you have Hatching Plans on the
board. It's like hiding your hand in plain sight. Phyrexian Rager is my
second favourite Gray Ogre of all time (after Man-o'-War), so it's in.
Meanwhile, Gleancrawler makes the team because it interacts well with
all of the sacrifice effects. I threw a Mindleech Mass into the deck for
fun, but it can be very effective when you start denying your opponent
permanents with Greater Harvester and Dispersing Orb. If your opponent
can't play his spells, you might as well do it.
If you don't want to keep to the Magic Online cardpool,
and I know many of you do not, Phyrexian Negator is an obvious inclusion,
being both a Horror and a handy way to send to Hatching Plans to the
graveyard. Since we're also in Blue, I'd try Barrin, Master Wizard as
well. His Unsummon-ing ability goes very well Hatching Plans and creatures
that really want to get through your opponent's defenses. |
