Wizards Preconstructed Deck from Time Spiral
The Reality Fracture deck highlights the interaction between suspend and storm. Manipulate the time stream just right, and youll set up a single, explosive, game-winning turn!
In the first few turns of the game, use the suspend ability of cards in your hand, preferably so they have the same number of time counters on them. Meanwhile, youre vulnerable to attack, so you may need to use
Rift Bolt
or Grapeshot to take the pressure off.
After a few turns, your suspended cards will have counted down all the way. Ideally, youll remove the last time counter from two or three of them on the same turn. Play those spells, then play your spells with storm. You get an extra copy of each storm spell for each other spell played that turn, so the copies will add up! Empty the Warrens could give you a huge Goblin horde, or Ignite Memories could result in over a dozen damage. Suspended creatures come into play with haste, so after they attack, your opponent might just have been dealt 20 damage in a single turn!
To maximize your storm spells, hold on to cards like
Claws of Gix
and
Coal Stoker
. Theyre easy to play on the same turn as other spells, which will increase your storm count. But dont be too greedy! Depending on how the game is going, it may be better to get three storm copies on turn 5 than five storm copies on turn 7. If setting up a giant turn isnt working, simply attacking with your hefty creatures is a good backup plan.
The Reality Fracture deck includes cards like
Clockspinning
and Jhoira's Timebug that manipulate counters. Use them to sync up the number of time counters on your suspended cardseven if you have to add a time counter! Or if you need a suspended card immediately, remove the last time counter from it.
Clockspinning
also interacts with other counters, like the ones on Serrated Arrows or Dreadship Reef.
After getting the hang of the deck, experiment with its contents. More
Rift Bolt
s help set up big storm turns or eliminate pesky creatures. The Time Spiral card Lotus Bloom and the Ninth Edition card Seething Song enable multiple spells on the same turn. And Furnace of Rath, also from the Ninth Edition set, is a perfect turn 4 play since your deck will be ready to explode with damage on turn 5.
