  The
Kavu and Good Team-Up Issue.
Description of deck by its author (quoted):
  ...Michael went on to explain that at one
point, the deck featured Unglued's I'm Rubber, You're Glue. This card
forces you to talk in rhyming sentences, but as long as you do that, you
get to pick a new target for any spell that targets you (and only you).
I suspect that it is a little easier to keep I'm Rubber, You're Glue on
the table if each card in your deck rhymes with each other card. That
means cards that rhyme with “Glue.” I knew I could use some Goos and
some Statues to fill out the creature-base, but in my search, I
discovered the mother-lode: the Kavu! (I really hope Kavu is pronounced
Ka-voo and not Ka-vuh.) Instead of just making a Kavu deck, I picked
only the top choice, grade-a Kavus and filled the deck up with other
cards, like Pilgrim of Virtue (gesundheit!) and Mana Screw. Curfew was
the only other card that I really considered (Flametongue Kavu is always
getting in trouble), but that would mean dipping into a third colour,
something I didn't want to do if I didn't have to.
There are many other options for rhyming decks, and if
anyone else has ever tried this, I'd like to hear about it. I have a few
other ideas, including a five-colour deck with Draco, Harrow, and Reap and
Sow, some kind of Red deck focused on (shockingly) direct damage and land
destruction using Incinerate, Disintegrate, Detonate, and Devastate, and
for the control freaks (a term of endearment), perhaps there's a U/W deck
to be built with Capsize, Plagiarize, and Presence of the Wise, with
Traumatize as the win condition. |
