Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
Some of the most common cards that care about
colour are, of course, colour hosers. This is one of the richest veins
we can tap when trying to exploit Painter's Servant. I'm not the only
one who thinks so. Danish combo enthusiast Christian M. wrote in to
suggest that:
Painter's Servant also jumps out as an obvious combo
piece...The deck would most likely have to have white as its main colour
since white is in my opinion the colour that has the most nefarious
colour hosers out there: Light of Day, Northern Paladin, Circles of
Protection, Absolute Grace, etc.
Black surely gets the worst of it. Besides the handful
that Christian mentioned, and the many creatures with protection from
black, there are some other black hosers worth mentioning. White seems
to have the Savannah Lion's share, but green's got some good ones, too
(and black itself gets in on the act with Razorjaw Oni and Repentant
Vampire, among others). Elephant Grass, Lifeforce, and Snake Pit are all
pretty spiffy when every spell your opponent plays is black, but perhaps
the most exciting black hosers to pair with Painter's Servant are
Nantuko Blightcutter, Compost, and—I figuratively lost my mind when I
saw this one–Reap. I'm sure pumping up Wild Mongrels or powering up
Narcissism isn't the most devastating thing you can do with Reap and
Painter's Servant (for that you would need a Black Lotus and a Reap-Lace
primer), but it seems fun to me. I'm also sure that there's goofier
things you can do with Compost, but that'll have to wait for a few
paragraphs. In the meantime, here's a sample list that is probably too
hoser-heavy to work reliably... |
