Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
For our casual forum game I wanted to bring
something with teeth. I’d previously played “friendly” tribes who tended
to get slaughtered…
The restriction on tribes made my search interesting,
and I stumbled upon some very cool Avatars along the way in Red & Black.
They were fast and efficient.
Their biggest drawback is their cost, so I added Sneak
Attack to get in some early whacks – and be able to drop an Avatar of
Woe to clear a path if need be at Instant speed. Then I stumbled upon
Sword of Darkness and Light. This allowed me to recover creatures sent
to the graveyard, and provided for even bigger creatures w/ protection
from both White and Black! I didn’t think too much about this
interaction ahead of time or I might have added another Avatar to (ab)use
– but I was staying in color. (For those who want to know it was Karona,
False God). Oh, and to top off the other great aspect of the sword, it
is life gain for a suicide deck…
I got a great draw to open the game, and once the deck
got rolling, it worked its magic.
I only wish I actually owned these cards to build the
deck for real!
Some Random Notes about the cards: Avatar of Fury is
the weakest link. Gauntlet of Might is mainly for fast mana if needed...
Inferno is board clearing goodness. You could probably get away with
only two to three Sneak Attack cards in the deck. Lastly, you should
really put in four Terminates. |
