This week, Lydia and JJ took some new topics for a spin. First, we reviewed our deckbuilding process, and not just another guide on how to select lands or build a curve. Instead we created a list of universal questions that help create the shape of any style deck.
Tune in to Clever Combo S4E6 to hear us discuss our deckbuilding guide and live-build our respective decks.
After that we took a dive into a listener suggested combo using
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
,
Lost Legacy
, and any card that allows any number of copies. For the first time we built our decks live on the air!
Lydia ended up with a
Persistent Petitioners
deck that splashes in a couple
Fraying Sanity
, and a playset of
Ipnu Rivulet
to try to gain extra self-mill value. 30 Petitioners rounds out the deck.
Fabled Passage
and a test copy of
Evolving Wilds
will help thin out the deck, especially after a Lost Legacy.
JJ opted for
Shadowborn Apostle
which also allows any number of copies. Being cheaper and needing 6 (rather than 4 like Petitioners) means we’ll need some easy draw, so we added
Castle Locthwain
. Since we hope to have 5 or 6 of them, we also decided to test a pair of
Westvale Abbey
. If we manage to land 6 apostles, we can sac them to fetch
Demonlord Belzenlok
who helps empty the graveyard.
We also considered a
Rat Colony
deck, which would allow us to build a small army of ever-growing rats to hide behind while we look for our Jace and LL.
If you try either deck, leave us a comment to let us know how it goes.
