A budget deck to abuse one of my favorite cards from Innistrad,
Triskaidekaphobia
! It is very streamlined towards its goal of winning the turn after playing Triskai,but it is flexible enough to react to opponent's threats. Sample Game:
Turn 1: Shock or Bomat Courier + attack Takes opponent from 20-18 OR 20-19
Turn 2:
cut/ribbons
or Lay Bare the Heart This is meant to disrupt our opponent, see their game plan, and take away a card that could stop our win Depending on your hand, you can attack or not attack with Bomat Courier
Turn 3: Tormenting Voice +
Alms of the Vein
for madness Nets us 2 cards and take OP from 18-15 or from 19-16
The next few turns can go a few different ways depending on cards in hand.We can play
Triskaidekaphobia
right away if our opponent's hand looked nonthreatening. Then the next turn, activate the ribbons effect of
cut/ribbons
to move our opponent to 13 right away and win on the next upkeep.
We can just fire off more burn spells like Hungry Flames, Shock,
Prying Questions
to get opponent disrupted and play
Triskaidekaphobia
the turn after, winning n Turn 6-7.
UTILITIES
Glorious End works great with this deck, if you have your opponent at 13 with
Triskaidekaphobia
out but might die next turn, you can just end their turn on the spot, go right to your upkeep, and win :D
You can also entertain the idea of burning your opponent to death if you just aren't pulling
Triskaidekaphobia
. Deciding whether to burn your opponent to death or hold out for Triskai requires experience with the deck and the set of cards you have. Usually if you have a bunch of good burn and 3 cards stocked away with Bomat Courier, you can rely on getting enough burn out to finish the job. cut to ribbons comes in very handy here.
Bomat Couriers can be used to dump your hand and fish for
Triskaidekaphobia
if they got in 2-3 attacks. Works well with all our creature removal/burn spells
It is quite consistent and hilariously frustrating to play against. Fun for the whole family!
