NomadicJoe96 on Bandonkadonking - Verb: "To Hit With Butt"

5 months ago

Hey, building a Doran deck right now myself! Be aware, if you aren't already, for cards like MacCready, Lamplight Mayor, the skulk ability is checked during the declare blockers step, so if Doran buffs your creatures, it may allow your opponent to block them easier than you may be intending (chump block, deathtouch, etc) !

I like the "legendary butts" theme you've got going though ! Some cards I've found to be quite good with Doran:

Genji Glove - Multiple combats, multiple Doran triggers

Noetic Scales - Synergizes with your card draw theme

Tawnos's Wand - Skulk (that only checks before blockers) on a stick

Kusari-Gama - asymmetric boardwipe that you can pump into

Sacred Rites - A terribly niche card that turns into an 'overrun' strat when paired with your immense card draw

Hakoda, Selfless Commander - Legendary, big butt, top deck, sac to protect+overrun.

Honest Rutstein - Legendary, recursion, and cost reduction

Yargle and Multani or Jumbo Cactuar - For the meme of attacking with a 30/18 creature or... a 19,993/10,000 creature

Hey paperponcho, thanks for your feedback. I agree, that Meekstone is kinda situational, but it saved me more than once from big swings (especially if it's only between me and the last opponent). But feel free to replace it, but share your replacement card with us :) Glad, that you also like Sacred Rites, not everyone is a fan!

Love Arcades, it's my number 1 deck to play.

I found Meekstone to be counterproductive tho. Since you are running big but walls, often opponents tent to send their attacks to other players. Meekstone limit these attacks.

Great list! I added Sacred Rites to my list after seeing yours :)

HobbyGamer007 I'm a bit torn about Sacred Rites, it won me several games already, but it is also somehow situational. Same for The Birth of Meletis, it is vulnerable to removal, on the other hand it may bait a removal spell and therefor protects better spells. I think it needs more testint and I'm also curious about your guys feedback!

K4m4r0 The Birth of Meletis should be about as good as Wall of Omens. IMHO it is very good, let's you keep more hands. Also, do you happen to flood the board with creatures a lot? If so I'd cut the terrible Sacred Rites for a Conclave Tribunal. This one is good removal, at sometimes 1 mana and let's you use your mana in a stall, or use your mana on creatures.

Removed Congregation at Dawn And added in Sacred Rites

We are pretty close to the same but a few cards posted above we can test them out and see how we do. I really thing yuo need to add in Aura Shards it's a game changer when it gets out.
