Fling

Instant

As an additional cost to cast Fling, sacrifice a creature.

Fling deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to any target (creature, player or planeswalker).

i’m not convinced that either Experimental Frenzy or Footfall Crater do anything useful for you here.

Well the problem of this deck is, that it is a bit slow and can't do much against control. Experimental Frenzy especially when paired with Runaway Steam-Kin gives me a lot of card advantage. I had a lot of games where I waited until my enemy was tapped out and couldn't counter Experimental Frenzy and it helped me get back in the game.

I am absolutely not sure about Footfall Crater as well. Another Problem of this Deck is when I keep getting jump blocked by tiny creatures. Fling helps against that but sometimes I just want to have trample and keep my creature alive.

your land count is super-low considering your mana curve and your requirement to hit at least 3 lands - i’d go up to 22-23. it’ll be better just to run a mountain instead of Kazuul's Fury

Okay sure I'll give it a try when playtesting :)

where’s Lightning Bolt!!

In the Mail I hope :D This was once a standard Deck and it's very low budget. I'll keep updating it with better cards from time to time tho.

Love the deck.

Just wondering if you know about Corpse Explosion. I love the idea that if you exile a creature card you can do damage to each creature and planeswalker, can be used well just for damage and also board wipe.

Also Fling is awesome for this deck because of sacking a creature and doing damage to creature or player.

Harrow would have been god tier if it was red. Green already has much better ramp. They definitely could have done more with sacrifice for red. It already fits into the theme. I love using red cards like Fling and Reckless Abandon.

I feel like you could also look into running a lot of wipes, stax or other salt inducing things, such that the deck will naturally end up the archenemy and everyone will unite against them. Do the other decks compete with one another? If so, something that does Goad or Goad-like effects would be cool. TBH, if I had to pick a commander to try out as an Archenemy type deck, I'd be very tempted to go with Kresh the Bloodbraided. 5 mana for a 3/3 isn't very spicy, but he quickly can get very, very out of hand, it's not unusual for you to do something like Mandate of Abaddon or Phyrexian Scriptures and then one shot people one at a time with your gigantic Kresh. Lots of cards synergize with Kresh, ranging from Grim Feast and anything that works with/is Rite of the Raging Storm. Big Goad effects like Disrupt Decorum and Spectacular Showdown also add a nasty surprise, and Insurrection is a great turn-around-is-fair-play type effect for an Archenemy. You can even make the deck on the cheap using stuff like Fleshbag Marauder (there are a bajillion at this point, especially if you'll pay 4 for a 4 power one), these generate a lot of power if you also have Savra, Queen of the Golgari (or something similar) out. Pestilence and similar effects are very good in here, they let you both clear out weenie blockers while also pumping Kresh ever bigger by winnowing away the chaff. Kresh will quickly crush everyone, you just need to add fun stuff like evasion or trample to make his immense power count. If you build this right it should be quite scary to play against, and the odd Fling can be a nice way to punish the players for killing Kresh.

Another great option might be Sauron, the Dark Lord, the more the party does the bigger the 'threat' gets, and it's almost impossible to remove Sauron. It's easy to sneak in some powerful Changelings to work as a better base army, but the whole 'orc army' thing is in and of itself very stereotypical in D&D. I like Grixis because you get Blue, meaning you have access to the odd counter. In particular I'd look into stuff like Stronghold Machinist, effect-on-a-stick creatures are good for an Archenemy because they tend to soak up the opponent's cards, even something like Royal Assassin is card advantage over time. Since the Army can get pretty big you can use Voltron stuff with it, and if you use Anthems (Berserkers' Onslaught, Dauthi Embrace, and Whip of Erebos come to mind) they'll work on both the Army and Sauron, which is cool Big Bad energy for the deck.

You're right that Dracoplasm uses last known information, just like Fling and other similar effects. When the text makes reference to the "sacrificed creatures" (the current cleaned-up text just says "those creatures"), it means the creature objects that were sacrificed as they existed at the time, the same as any other effect that uses information about a sacrificed object to determine its results.

Neither the original printed text nor the current text is written in a way that would exclude any other P/T altering effects or only look at the printed characteristics of the card that were sacrificed. If Dracoplasm's ability was written in a way to exile the sacrificed creatures and reference the P/T of "the exiled cards" then the result would be what your friend is saying, but that's not how this ability works.

I cast Claim the Firstborn on creature(1/1), then equip with Grafted Wargear (4/3), attack and finish with Fling for 4 dmg. But my friend said that Dracoplasm is not working that way, it check stats on that creature card. (no bonus stats for equipment, aura, counters,...) Dracoplasm is 0/0 on card, and if i sacrifice it for another Dracoplasm, then "New one " have same stats as first Dracoplasm or it become 0/0?

jonjonhholt on Wall Flinger

this is a hilarious list i love it!(i dont think i knew Glyph of Destruction was a card lol). i have to second Gattison's mention of Soul's Fire as its the only reasonable one i know of and allows you to deal 20 damage without a second Glyph of Destruction. Do keep in mind that if your opponent kills your wall in response Soul's Fire will fizzle whereas Fling involves the creature in the casting cost of the spell, meaning your wall is dead before your opponent has a chance to interact with it. There are technically some other cards similar to Soul's Fire like Gravitic Punch but unless you have specific synergies, they will generally be a worse version of Soul's Fire

@jdogz32 Go for it. I have a few decks that already abuse either Fling type spells or self sacrificing creatures, but I haven’t yet figured out a way to bypass the main issue with theft cards—it’s a crapshoot if the deck you’re facing down will have anything worth stealing. For that reason I don’t think a deck with this theme will ever be remotely competitive. If the right combination of theft/creatures are featured in a new set, then maybe.

I do have a deck in the works that’s about as close to this theme as I can get while being semi viable, but it lacks the theft element. It should be ready in a week or so.
