Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
While sifting through the pile of Deck Challenge submissions, it
quickly became clear that Rotlung Reanimator is a favorite target for
Artificial Evolution. Why? If you change all instances of "Zombie" on
the Reanimator to "Cleric," you suddenly have 2/2 Cleric tokens that
always replace themselves. This is a good trick on its own, as we all
love unkillable creatures (check out the most common deck submitted to
Deck Challenge 2). But it gets even better when you combine it with
other cards in Onslaught. For example,
- With Nantuko Husk, you can repeatedly
sacrifice your undying Clerics for an arbitrarily large Husk. If
unkillable creatures are cool, 104,000/104,000 creatures are even
cooler. Put a Goblin Sharpshooter on the board, too, and the game is
over as you happily ping your opponent to death in one turn. Or try
Death Match to clear out all opposing creatures.
- With Cabal Archon, your Cleric tokens
effectively read: "B: Target player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life."
- Starlit Sanctum then effectively
reads: "W, T: You gain 2 life" and "B, T: Target player loses 2 life."
- Doom Cannon effectively reads: "3, T:
Doom Cannon deals 3 damage to target creature or player."
- Read the Runes allows you to draw
cards with no drawback as long as you draw cards equal to the number of
Cleric tokens you control on the board. (You can't draw more cards than
that "for free" because you won't get the replacement tokens until after
Read the Rules has resolved.)
- Doubtless One's power and toughness
are only going up -- way up, if you add Riptide Replicator.
With an army of undying Clerics, Gangrenous Goliath has a much better
chance of being reanimated. Ancestor's Prophet might actually see four
other Clerics, too, as they are now so resilient.
The list goes on and on. Undying Cleric
tokens provide a scary array of potential. Below, are two good examples.
One is a deck by Marco Mastropaolo, and the other is a deck by Shawn Main.
Mastropaolo's deck uses most of the tricks described above. I like Main's,
though, because he uses Clone as Rotlung Reanimator insurance.
