Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
...Other cards that got my inner throwback
deckbuilder revving were Tamanoa and snow lands. I tried to abuse
snow-covered lands with Whiteout when they first appeared, which would
return the Instant to my hand from the graveyard if I sac'd a
snow-covered land. At Pro Tour-Charleston I remember watching Ben
Rubin's team playing Searing Meditation along with Skullmead Cauldron as
an ersatz Stormbind and it inspired me to throw everything into the
cauldron and see what it cooked down to.
Life from the Loam replaces Whiteout as the card
advantage engine. Tamanoa combos with Searing Meditation to turn all your
lifegain into a cascade of damage. Every time you gain life it will
trigger the Meditation, which if you pay 2 will trigger the Tamanoa which
will in turn trigger the Meditation which if you pay 2…
I thought about playing Firemane Angels – which were in
the Charleston deck that Rubin played – but without Compulsive Research to
draw/discard them. Of course, I could dredge them with Life from the Loam
but I wanted to build in some snow synergy and ended up not having room.
Tamanoa turns your sometimes recursive Mouth of Ronom into an
uncounterable Ribbons of Night that can be tutored up with Into the North
or Scrying Sheets (which can also be tutored up with Into the North). Feel
free to bang away at the decklist so they fit in.
The deck seems like it will be a lot of fun to play – if
not play against – and I will certainly be giving it a whirl in the casual
rooms on MTGO as soon as I can get my virtual mitts on a Coldsnap set.
Again please feel free to mess around with this primordial build and post
your thoughts in the forums.
