FTP Sling of the Giants

This is a combo build-around Sling of the Chi which seeks to focus on both aspects of Sling, the damage and card draw, while also addressing the somewhat inconsistent nature of Sling decks by reinforcing the combo with Time value creatures that still activate Sling and enough control to ensure we get our BS online.



A little about Sling of the Chi
Sling uses the unit itself as its source of damage, which means battle skills that deals with dealing damage is also applied. With Porcelain Mask, that damage now Overwhelms. With Mightweaver[card the 6 damage from Sling Activation now becomes 12. With Ila & Mizo, provided Mightweaver or 2 Slings in play, this creates a pseudo-Talir combo.

Desert Alchemist and Maveloft Huntress
Along with the apparent effect of these units, Plunder can sometimes be overlooked as a mechanic. Along with fixing, being able to convert unneeded power into digging through the deck is something any deck benefits from, and as a brewer it's been a concentrated effort to include more plunder in decks I build.

Crafty Occultist and Larai, the Appraiser
These are to help us dig through the deck, stabilize our early board, and Larai functions as an (admittedly slow) way to tutor for Sling. Larai also has 6 health which allows us to draw off Sling.

Monolith Guardian, Ila & Mizo, Ixtol, Champion of Grodov and Worldbearer Behemoth
Big ole time units are typically good on their own, in combination with Sling, we put value on top of value.

Display of Instinct
If I could have 8 of this card in the deck I would. Its the perfect multipurpose tool for this deck. The two main functions used are the Counterspell and returning a unit to hand and gaining life, but 4 damage is decent damage based removal that can hit Sites or Face to finish the game.



Bore and Passage of Eons[/card]
Bore is arguably the best relic removal in the game, Passage of Eons is a worse Harsh Rule that also has Relic Hate. Passage of Eons could probably be taken out for something more impactful/useful, but relics are heavily featured in the current Ladder meta and the market is tuned accordingly.

Mightweaver
Mightweaver makes Sling activations hit for 12 as opposed to 6. Having this and Sling on the board means Ila & Mizo will replicate itself as many times as the opponent has units. In the late game, this along with Pocelain Mask gives our big Time fatties enough damage and reach to finish the game.

Sandstorm Titan
Perhaps the original Time Big-boi, while being 1 short of triggering the damage portion of Sling, its something we can get out quick to shut down aggro and fliers, stabilize the board, and start drawing cards off Sling.

Conclusion
Sling of the Chi is a card I've wanted to build with since I saw it. Its deals damage, it draws cards, it makes big units even more impactful, it can swing hard in midrange and has staying power for the late game. This deck is my toy, its the thing I'm always tinkering and tuning with, its the deck that got me my first Masters in throne, and does everything I want as a brewer.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading, and GLHF.
