Description of deck by its author (quoted):
The deck plays out by setting up for the first
few turns. It casts a Fertile Ground, and then a Dawn's Reflection on
the same land. Then, when you think the time is right, start to go off.
You do this by casting as many untappers you can on the enchanted land,
casting a heavily discounted Tangle Golem (you might want to do this the
turn before you go off), and casting Rush of Knowledge. Hopefully you
will draw some more untappers and another Rush of Knowledge, and do it
all over again for another cycle. If you don't draw another Rush, you
will probably draw at least Temporal Fissure, and you can make a little
more mana and return most if not all of their permanents back to their
hand and play out more big guys of your own.
Simple, elegant, fun to play and interesting to
watch…but like all combo decks, slow to actually perform on Magic Online.
Get that F2 key ready!
Tips on Playing the Deck
Try to cast your Golem the turn before you go off, as you will want to
save as much mana as possible for your big turn.
Don't be afraid to do a quick Temporal Fissure for three
on all of their lands or creatures. This doesn't really set you back,
since you plan on drawing another copy later when you go off, but it can
buy you valuable time to set up.
When Opting (or casting Serum Visions), search for those
Rushes of Knowledge! They are crucial!
Don't forget that you can win via smashing their face –
sure you are a combo deck, but that doesn't mean you don't have angry
Golems!
Adding Money to the Deck
This is a tough question, because I really designed the deck to be an
all-common deck and compete in a field of Pauper decks. I don't know if
this deck could stand up to regular decks, but I did play it in the casual
room and it was doing ok, so that gives me hope. The best card to add to
this deck is obviously Mind's Desire. This deck really wants to be a
Mind's Desire deck, but all it got was Temporal Fissure. Thirst for
Knowledge, Gilded Lotus, and more card drawing in general (Trade Secrets?)
would probably help it out as well. |
