“Life is empty. Life is meaningless. When we take a life, we aren’t taking anything of value.” ― Brent Weeks, The Way of Shadows

playing around with Kelsien, the Plague

Going for a bit of a mix between Mardu control and Voltron aggro.

Kelsien, the Plague is unique in that he scales well throughout the game so long as you can start generating experience counters. He has haste and vigilance while also being aggressively costed to come out fast and early, punch in if there's an opening and then tap to ping one of our opponents creatures.

Doing only 1 damage on his tap ability doesnt seem like much at the start, but once he's been given deathtouch everything that isn't indestructible or hexproof is fair game. Equip him with the combo engine that is Thornbite Staff and our opponents will find themselves unable to keep creatures on the board. All the while our assassin grows stronger and stronger for every foe his arrows bring down.

Torbran, Thane of the Red Fell alternatively brings Kelsien's tap damage up to 3, which is not insignificant in its own right.

I'll update more as I get a chance to mess around with it. Also I am still several cards above the 100 card limit so if anyone sees anything that is an obvious cut let me know.
