A BoT version of one of my favorite Roshi decks, Xenan Ultimate! With
Murgo the Bone Guy joining the ultimate club,
The Merriest Mandrake gets a whole new toy to play with. Since time is one of our factions, we're obviously stuffing in 4 copies of
Hive Queen Uther. However, with all of the market access that comes with our 8 grafters, we can add in a really fun interaction:
Katra, the Devoted buffing all of our small ultimates! Just playing Katra the turn after Uther is an automatic +1/+1 across the board, and things snowball out of control very quickly. Merriest Mandrake also gains life when he goes off, and thus Katra lets him regain his former glory in the health department. To round out the lifegain and give us ramp, we've got a playset of
Katra, The First Seal.
With all these buffed units, we can draw some absolutely ridiculous versatile weapons off of Murgo's ultimate. Since we're also gaining life out the wazoo, we can play 4 copies of
The Big Wheel to keep the value coming. Don't be afraid to play multiple copies; you have to be really trying to
not gain life.
Makkar's Quiver buffs a bunch of our units, and is also a power sink to gain life with Uther. Rounding out any good Xenan Ultimate list are the market bombs. I went with the stranger package and Azindel, but there are way too many good choices to list out.
I tend to just play a lot of Gauntlet, so if anyone has success on the ladder let me know!
