Crow_Umbra on Destined to Party [Primer]

3 weeks ago

Thanks for stopping by NV_1980, those are both pretty solid suggestions. Funny enough, I did have your recommended Odric in the first draft of the deck, in conjunction with Concerted Effort, but opted to drop him to stay a bit more on-theme for Party. I'd definitely consider adding him back in, especially since he covers Menace as one of his keywords. I could see him or Nalia maybe swapping in over The Destined Black Mage, since the deck isn't doing a lot spell slinging to make full use of it.

I use Nalia in my Burakos deck, and she does plenty of work there. I could see her swapping over Braids, since the deck isn't super Aristocrats focused and has Blue access to draw, or swapping in over one of the Evasive Blue Rogues, maybe Inkfathom Infiltrator, since it can't block.

legendofa on How does Zareth San become …

1 year ago

If I may step in late, what's the alternative to the apparent intended outcome? What ambiguity am I missing?

What I see is:

• Inkfathom Infiltrator and Soaring Thought-Thief attack. They are now "attacking" creatures, and their "un/blocked" status is currently undefined.

• Blockers are assigned. No blockers are assigned to Infiltrator, while Thought-Thief is blocked.

An attacking creature with one or more creatures declared as blockers for it becomes a blocked creature; one with no creatures declared as blockers for it becomes an unblocked creature. (...)

• Infiltrator becomes an "unblocked" creature. Thought-Thief becomes a "blocked" creature.

• Because Infiltrator is "unblocked" and "attacking", it can be used to activate Zareth San, the Trickster's ability.

• Zareth's ability is activated, Infiltrator returns to hand, and Zareth enters as an "attacking" creature with no assigned blockers. As an attacking creature with no blockers, this is the point where it becomes an "unblocked" creature.

• Zareth deals combat damage, and stuff happens.

(...) This remains unchanged until the creature is removed from combat, an effect says that it becomes blocked or unblocked, or the combat phase ends, whichever comes first.

• At the end of combat, creatures stopped being "blocked" or "unblocked" and return to the undefined status.

I understand the note in Ninjutsu's rules as a (technically redundant) clarification of the un/blocked rule, not an independent rule.

How else could this sequence be interpreted? At what other possible point could Zareth receive the definition of "unblocked"?

Thada Adel, Acquisitor and Inkfathom Infiltrator are pretty good here, among many other awesome rogues.

I like have an Anawon list with some different stuff if you feel like taking a look at it. I'm always sniping cards from other decks lol.

Since you are using Mindcrank and Stinkdrinker Bandit you might consider using an unblockable rogue like Inkfathom Infiltrator or Invisible Stalker

Maybe Inkfathom Infiltrator

I figured I would double back just in case my idea wasn't that great. I think Blighted Agent might be a touch out of place unless you can get up to ten infect consistently. Inkfathom Infiltrator might be a more consistent choice for damage. Also, since you plan on drawing a lot Faerie Vandal might work in that 2CMC sweet spot. Also, another good replacement is Frogtosser Banneret if only because it helps you get out a decent chunk of your creatures.
