Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Oh, but there's always more stuff out there.
In fact, there's a nutty little cross-Kamigawa artifact interaction that
just became possible to play on Magic Online now that Betrayers is on
there: Long-Forgotten Gohei and Baku Altar.
omehow this combo reminds me of the M.C. Escher work of
the two hands drawing each other, although I suppose it's more accurate in
this case to have one hand drawing the other one twice. Long-Forgotten
Gohei helps out Baku Altar on both ends: It makes Arcane spells cheaper,
so it's easier to load up the Altar with counters, and it makes Spirits
bigger, so the Altar's output will double in size.
There's another artifact that quite enjoys both Arcane
spells and the Gohei: Jade Idol. (Call me crazy, but shouldn't Jade Idol
show a picture of a green statue?) Load up the deck with cheap Arcane
spells, and you're off to the races with—no, wait, it's not artifacty
enough. This is Artifact Week! Where's the Mirrodin love?
It's right here: Isochron Scepter. The Scepter tells you
to play a copy of the card imprinted on it, so activating it will trigger
both Baku Altar and Jade Idol. You can also splice more spells onto the
copy. Now we have a deck: It keeps generating creatures without actually
playing any creatures thanks to the Altar and Idol, and it keeps
generating spells without actually playing any spells thanks to the
Scepter and splice. |
