Description of deck by its author (quoted):
For this deck, I wanted to do something fun
with Kjeldoran Royal Guard. I have the opposite of fond memories of
playing against my brother's Veteran "George Clooney" Bodyguard, which
was piled high with Holy Armors and protected by Combat Medics. (This
was in my pre-Terror days, apparently.) In order to recreate some of
that old school magic, that fragile invincibility, I decided to pair the
Royal Guard with Molting Skin, which allows you to survive a creature
onslaught of any size, turn after turn. Molting Skin also works well
with some other recent cards, like Magus of the Disk and Tenth Edition's
Loyal Sentry.
Until I hit upon Molting Skin (or Broken Fall) via a
Gatherer search, I was going to use Fanatical Devotion as my regenerator
of choice. It seemed like it might be good with all the Soldier tokens I
could produce, but it doesn't have great synergy with Magus of the Disk
and it's much easier for your opponent to destroy. Yavimaya Hollow is
probably the ideal regenerator, Kjeldoran Outpost is a great producer of
Soldier tokens, and Ranger en-Vec is an on-theme Ranger that conveniently
fits the colour scheme. Use 'em if you got 'em. |
