Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
[Fog Elemental - Colfenor's Urn] This combo is
actually legal in present-day Standard, since Fog Elemental was
reprinted in Tenth Edition. Like Cloudthresher from the previous deck,
Æthersnipe is a four-toughness evoke Elemental that can be evoked and
then stuffed in Colfenor's Urn. You don't even need to cremate him
first. These two have more in common than simply being Standard-legal
blue Elementals that work with the Urn. They also combo with Vedalken
Mastermind (I covered the Fog Elemental interaction around the time
Tenth hit the shelves, while Ben Bleiweiss built a nifty deck a couple
weeks ago featuring everyone's favourite Vedalken and some evokers). You
know who else likes to tag-team with the Mastermind? Merfolk Traders (kinda)!
Serrated Biskelion (remove all those unsightly –1/–1 counters)!
Razormane Masticore (not really)! Platinum Angel (only if you want to
risk sudden death)!
There are a couple reasons I wanted to include those
last two. One, they have the requisite toughness for Colfenor's Urn. And
two, they are artifacts that can be pitched to, say, Merfolk Traders and
"reanimated" with Argivian Restoration, a card on my shortlist of
Powerful-Looking Cards That I've Never Seen Anyone Play. Besides subbing
in for Zombify in this deck, it can also recur cashed out Urns,
Moonglove Extracts, and, if you're really desperate, Mind Stones. |
