Maybeboard


This is my spin on the Shadowborn Apostles deck. I'm tuning this version to focus on an aggro-combo strategy. Amass a ton of Apostles and throw them at people via combat or abusing their ability to sacrifice themselves.

Some things of note:

-35 Apostles seems like the right number. It gives me the best balance of Thrumming Stone fodder and Remembrance triggers. 36 is the ideal number, I'm trying 32.

-Coat of Arms has been chosen over Door of Destinies because the first few turns are almost always spent casting Apostles. I think the slight chance of it being a boon to an Elf deck is worth the ability to immediately impact the game state.

-Elspeth and Sorin help with the aggro part of the deck. Elspeth turns Athreos into a 3 turn clock on its own and Sorin allows me to consistently apply pressure on the whole table by forcing an opponent to always let me have my Apostles back.

I think this deck has a ton of potential to be very powerful and fun to play with and against (a stark departure from my usual hateful decks). I need about 2 cuts before it's ready to be sleeved and I could use some help determining which. I'd also like to get the Maybeboard involved.

Edit: revisiting the deck. Cutting cards that don't do much (like cover of darkness) and dont offer enough synergy (Sorin Markov).
