The "Let's build a deck" Challenge! #1 - Dash Hard

Challenges and Articles forum

Posted on June 12, 2016, 2:24 a.m. by magicfanzzz

This is the follow up article to the introduction to my challenge. If you're interested, click here.In this first Episode I'm gonna talk about a deck that takes advantage of creatures with dash, combined with cards like Impact Tremors and Mardu Ascendancy . I'm excited how this pans out and I'm waiting for comments!

So this first deck includes like I said many battlefield trigger cards and dash cards.It runs:

Creature:

4 Ambuscade Shaman

3 Goblin Heelcutter

3 Lightning Berserker

3 Zurgo Bellstriker

3 Warbringer

2 Pitiless Horde

3 Ogre Battledriver

Instant:

3 Lightning Bolt

4 Path to Exile

Sorcery:

2 Thoughtseize

Enchantment:

4 Impact Tremors

4 Mardu Ascendancy

Land:

4 Bloodstained Mire

2 Blood Crypt

2 Sacred Foundry

4 Nomad Outpost

2 Blackcleave Cliffs

2 Dragonskull Summit

3 Mountain

2 Swamp

2 Plains

The Sideboard is very customisable, but this is what I'd build:

3 Stony Silence

3 Wear / Tear

2 Crackling Doom

2 Combust

1 Nevermore

2 Leyline of Sanctity

2 Leyline of the Void

Gameplan and Combos: Warbringer reduces the Dash cost, Ambuscade Shaman makes your dashing creatures bigger, Impact Tremors and Mardu Ascendancy just gives you advantage everytime you dash, and Pitiless Horde is just huge.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as i did writing it!If you have any good ideas or want to mention something, please leave a comment!

This doesn't feel like an article. It's just the decklist with minimal description of the gameplan. If you could expand a bit, perhaps explaining in what situations or metas this deck does well, as well as describing any useful tips on play the deck correctly could probably make it more interesting.

Maybe add some alternative builds/cards that could be used? Primal Forcemage, Ogre Battledriver ect ect. As Zeph stated above, its pretty bare bones right now.
