Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
So, yeah, it's 61 cards. Sue me. The deck runs
a smattering of color-fixing and mana acceleration to get things going.
Sakura-Tribe Elder and Pariah work wonders in staying alive in the early
game. As the game progresses, Persuasion can steal any of the more
potent creatures coming at you as well. Gifts Ungiven will generally be
used to get an Immobilizing Ink and three scary enchantments. Without a
card to discard to like Immobilizing Ink, some of the more expensive
enchantments will simply be uncastable. Get the Ink on a Nomad Mythmaker
for extra potency: discard that expensive enchantment right away to
untap the Mythmaker and get it into play right away. The Kitsune Mystic
is especially easy to flip into Autumn-Tail in a deck like this. At that
point, all of the enchantments you've been collecting on your side of
the table (even the grave) become especially scary.
The thing that I like about this deck is all of the ways
that the early game enchantments can help hold the table. Elephant Guide,
Pariah, and Floating Shield can all be used to keep yourself alive in the
early game. The Floating Shield is very good at taking care of targeted
removal in whatever color your opponent might have, and the Elephant
Guides are a good way to stay aggressive against any deck that might
prefer to run sweep spells like Wrath of God. The single Squee's Embrace
can serve as an insurance policy on a Mythmaker. Get it into your yard and
if a Wrath does happen, pop the Squee's Embrace onto either that Mythmaker
or any other card that is more worthwhile.
Overall, the deck should be a lot of fun, and able to
put up a fight against a lot of different kinds of decks. I don't expect
this to be the next deck to beat at the most competitive Online Extended
tournaments, but it is a real pleasure to be able to play a ton of the
cards in the deck. |
