Worn and tired you lift yourself to your feet--after completing four of the trial successfully, there is only one more in your way to become chosen...
Suddenly the ground begins to shake and a roar blows through the dessert dunes...
Are you ready to face the God Pharaoh's final trial?
In case you were wondering, yes Glorybringer is ridiculous. The ability to swing for at least four and kill something is a YUHE tempo play which quickly ends most games. The best shell I've found for exploiting its potential is a low curve, Naya midrange. So lets get into it!
In our 2 drop slot, we have the baby giant Sylvan Advocate to help our long game and boost a surprise Needle Spires, and I'm also showing off the new Channeler Initiate. Now this card is comparable to Sylvan Caryatid in terms of its versatility; the ability to play the dragon or a Gideon the turn earlier is busted, and anytime after that, it eats a token and becomes a 3/4. Not bad.
Next for threes we have our grinding engine--Tireless Tracker. This card is stellar when is survives (which a good opponent makes sure doesn't happen), providing long game inevitability while also creating a growing threat. We also have a copy of Lantern Scout which can get crazy gaining 8 off of the Glorybringer and triggered by every Sylvan Advocate or Gideon token.
Obviously Gideon, Ally of Zendikar as the best card in standard. Then three Arlinn Kord
as our extra copies of Gideon (not really but fills a similar role). As she makes a token, or gets in a big threat or dragon, then she can bolt or do a mini overrun--all options very relevant for this deck (when you think about doesn't she have the most abilities of the planeswalkers...screw you mindsculptor). Then also a Tamiyo, Field Researcher off the initiate and oaths for cards.
So start off with the name sake: Glorybringer. Now this is card is good on its own, but cheating that exert cost really seals the deal. Cards like Arlinn Kord
can help make the dragon a lethal threat. Also we have a copy of Nissa, Vital Force as an additional hasty threat and some needed card advatage.
Lastly, Oath of Nissa adds selection and consistency to our deck. And Declaration in Stone is the perfect removal spell for this deck. Exile is relevant for things like delirium, tokens liliana, death's majesty, Prized Amalgam, and Scrapheap Scrounger. It's cheap and has the Maelstrom Pulse-like effect to get rid of multiples. Often times if you are aggressive enough, the clues won't even be cracked. Another cheap removal spell is our Oath of Chandra which is a nice combination of Lightning Strike and
Shrine of Burning Rage
with its ability to deal the last crucial points.
So that's a run down of my standard brew. Give feedback if I'm missing something obvious or if you have an idea to make this deck better. Thanks!
