Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 There's a whole other Quadropodic direction to
travel. Many months ago, when the Cleric deck powered by the Daru
Spiritualist-Lightning Greaves interaction was first making its way
around the Internet, Olle Nyrén wrote in with a nifty variation. Instead
of using that combo to gain a billion life, then using that life to wait
out your opponent or pump up one of your creatures via Unspeakable
Symbol, why not just go right for the jugular? Use the combo to create a
1,000,000,000/1 creature and attack! His suggestion at the time was to
use an Imagecrafter or a Trickery Charm to turn Aquamoeba into a Cleric,
then go to town with the Spiritualist and Greaves. When the 'Moeba is
tough enough, give it evasion with Crafty Pathmage or (again) Trickery
Charm, attack, and pull the ol' Aquamoeba switcheroo. I liked Olle's
deck enough to make my own version and play with it, but then the Cleric
combo deck started appearing everywhere—even our website. Olle's bizarre
variation was interesting, but I never posted the deck because it felt
repetitive to do so at the time. Now, however, is a different story,
especially when I can combine both crazy 4+-card combos into the same
deck.
If you like, you can certainly use Aquamoebas instead of
the Quadropods. They're more efficient, though you can't go the Equipment
route to attack for 20 in one shot quite so easily. Of course, this would
be an awfully silly Myr Week deck if it was filled with Aquamoebas instead
of Myr, so I went with the critter from the Standard cardpool. |
