Description of deck by its author (quoted):
One of the sorceries that gets the biggest power boost by
becoming instantaneous is Skulltap. As it stands, you get 2-for-2 card advanta—er, card parity. But if you could use Skulltap on your
creature after combat damage was dealt, or when it's been targeted by
Shock, you're ahead of the game. Use it on a creature with a leaves-play
effect, and you're in pretty good shape. (Note that if you use Skulltap
on Mindslicer—which has some poetic logic to it, since you need to tap
the skull before you can slice the mind—you draw the two cards from
Skulltap after everyone discards their hands.)
Nim Abomination is much less antisocial
at instant speed, since putting it into play on your opponent's turn
lets you avoid the otherwise automatic loss of 3 life. Surprise
Nekrataals can't be bad, and spot removal is flat-out more powerful when
you have the leeway to do it absolutely any time you want. |
