Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
It’s been more than a decade since we last saw
an ante card in Magic. We’ve been feeling a little nostalgic, so we
decided to go with Legends’ Tempest Efreet – kinda like Hill Giant, but
harder to cast and with a weak ante ability – for this month’s Double
Dog Dare. The evil trick at the core of this deck? We’re gonna make
token copies of the Efreet and give those away. “Here, take my penny and
gimme that dual land.” Are you generous?
We’ve got three chief ways to make those tokens.
Kiki-Jiki comes down just after the Efreet and can make hasted copies
straight off the bat. Followed Footsteps does much the same thing; while
it’s slower than Kiki-Jiki, you can also use it to neutralize an opposing
creature in case you don’t have an Efreet handy. Soul Foundry requires you
to spend mana each time you use it, but it lets you pitch the Efreet from
your hand to imprint it rather than having to cast it – which leaves the
genie open to creature removal.
The rest of our deck revolves around finding combos and
getting them into play. Brainstorm, Impulse and Worldly Tutor all
manipulate your deck, while Reanimate revives a dead Efreet or one that
you’ve already exchanged. Seething Song lets you drop Kiki-Jiki, Soul
Foundry or the Efreet earlier than normal, and Repeal serves as utility
board control and makes sure your opponent has a card to exchange. |
