Planeswalker decks loaded with five-drop bombs are dominating my local meta. There's nary a Swiftspear in sight. Time to wreck some hands! This list generates massive card advantage, and also trolls pretty hard.
Frost Walker
+
Tormented Thoughts
= please discard four on turn three.
Pitiless Horde
+
Tormented Thoughts
= were you about to stabilize with a Gideon? Drop your hand kthx!
Duress kills their answer, Transgress the Mind neuters the ever-present three-mana kill spell. Once they deal with your barrage of
Frost Walker
s and discard spells, feed the dregs of your graveyard to Gurmag Angler. 5/5 fat zombie fish for dinner!
The
Frost Walker
becomes really deadly when their hand is rid of kill spells. Dash in
Pitiless Horde
alongside him for massive damage.
Deadbridge Shaman
combines with
Tormented Thoughts
to make them discard four. Or if you have a bounce spell instead? Let her bite the bricks, then Disperse their wincon to their hand in response to her death trigger. If they're not savvy enough to hold lands, they pitch their precious.
The real fun begins when you cast Demonic Pact. Abuse it for a few turns, then when you've used three modes? Silumgar's Command their moneywalker and bounce the Pact to your hand. Be sure to thank them for playing!
Did you just use up your last Pact mode with no bounce in hand, and your opponent's hanging on with four life? Cast another Demonic Pact. On your next upkeep, stack the triggers to kill your opponent before the "you lose" on the first one can resolve.
Ugin's Construct
finds a home! Turn his setback into an advantage: Sac your depleted Pact, a
Deadbridge Shaman
, or even a
Pitiless Horde
that keeps getting chump-blocked.
Note: I realize this needs Polluted Delta, but I'm a cheapskate.
