Ello Folks,
I have built a beatdown deck that I feel is closest to Magic: The Gathering gameplay , in my opinion.
Utilizing
Strategize and
Wisdom of the Elders for Card Advantage
Throwing
Gorgon Fanatic in a mix of other 4 cost 5/5's (
Rindra, the Duskblade and
Impending Doom) let's
Haunting Scream have some viable targets that can quickly change the life differential in your advantage.
The creature destruction is basic and only worth mentioning that
Feeding Time is for creatures that have revenge or in need of silencing.
Champion of Cunning and
Jotun Feast-Caller Stand in for aegis protection that ensures 2 for 1's and makes Harsh Rule not so op.
(2)
Black-Sky Harbinger and (1)
Zelia, the Vain for token variants and Zelia can help against revenge in late game.
Through testing this deck seems to do well against a large field of archtypes.
Control - Mostly you are just trying to play creatures in rhythm to avoid mass removal. Overwhelm them while they are low on cards.
Rush/Aggro - Picking apart key cards on the field in the early game. I usually leave a warcry guy down while they swing and pick off the card that gained the power/tough gain, and then play creatures to block and play tit-for-tat and gain field advantage.
Midrange - This one is tricky, because they will do what you will and pick off certain creatures and try to play around by playing creatures equipped and make you have to make the decisions early. But, you can usually out play them because you have better
card advantage with draw and Haunting creatures in when the board clears itself.
I would like to welcome discussion !
This is a work in progress , but what deck isn't.
This has gotten me from Silver to Diamond III .
