Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
 This deck is rocking 28 creatures and
obviously wants to drop Kithkin and swing. It has a ton of aggressive
options in the deck. As a 2/1 for two mana, the Ballyrush Bannerets are
going to deal some nice aggro damage while also reducing the cost of
your Kithkin and Soldiers by a colorless.
The Ballynock Cohort is a strong card because, with
first strike and a 2/2 body, it will usually be a 3/3 with another White
creature under your control. With 28 creatures in the deck, that’s a
good chance. A 3/3 first striker for three mana is a solid investment.
The Bombardier gives you a flying option or allows you to reinforce one
of your creatures and keep them alive during combat. It’s also a Kithkin
Soldier and plays well with others in the deck.
Wizened Cenn is a two-drop and uncommon that makes the
deck. They are essential, pumping other Kithkin and adding to your
power. One uncommon slot is left unused, and you might find room for a
powerful uncommon in the sideboard. The Harriers are a perfect one-drop.
They can give you early aggro, tap to remove a blocker or tap to remove
an attacker later in the game. The Order of the Golden Cricket is a
strong bear, with the ability to go aerial if needed.
They are subtle, but I like the Somnomancer a lot.
Play it, tap a blocker, and then swing. As a 2/1 for two mana, they are
also perfectly aggressive without being overly so. Since you are playing
so many Kithkin, there is no reason not to play Surge of Thoughtweft, to
get you a small Overrun ability and draw you a card to boot. Use them
whenever you have need, since they’ll basically cycle.
This deck uses Unmake to fill a needed role as
creature kill. Use these only as a last resort, because you don’t have
much removal. The Surge of Thoughtweft and reinforce Bombardiers can
save a creature and act as removal, but only your Unmakes are true
removal. The pair of Bonesplitters can add to your attack by making a
key Kithkin more powerful. Equip on a pseudo-flyer like the Order of the
Golden Cricket, or the Bombardiers for four in the air, or just power
through the defense with your newly axe-equipped Kithkin.
Other cards I considered included Prismatic Strands,
Coordinated Barrage, and other Kithkin like Amrou Seekers.
Peasant Magic is a format in which
one can play with any legal Vintage set, as well as silver bordered
sets. In the format, you can play any common, up to the normal four
copies per card, and you can play up to five uncommons total. The card
has the lowest commonality of any printing. For example, Rukh Egg was a
common in Arabian Nights and a rare in the base set. You could use the
rare copy in Peasant as a common. There is one exception to this rule.
Strip Mine is treated as an uncommon, because it was too prevalent in
decks as a common.
All ante cards are banned.
Additionally, the following cards are banned: Ali from Cairo, Library of
Alexandria, Brain Freeze, Candelabra of Tawnos, Berserk, Diamond Valley,
Mana Drain, and Mishra’s Workshop. Note that all cards from Arabian
Nights, Antiquities, The Dark, Fallen Empires, and Homelands are either
common or uncommon, despite what some sites might say to the contrary,
so all are legal.
The five uncommon cards counts for
both the deck and sideboard, for tournament purposes. |
