NEW LIST! SIDEBOARD NOW ADDED
GUILDS OF RAVNICA UPDATE
This Decklist was originally conceived to abuse the new enchantment
Journey to Eternity
>
Atzal, Cave of Eternity
from Rivals of Ixalan.
After a brief hiatus from MTG, I have returned- with the return.. (oh boy) to the plane of Ravnica. The deck got a load of really cool new pieces, which better enable some old cards and give it a more "combo" feel. In testing so far against my invisible friend Timmy, this puppy feels like it really has some gas.
New Pieces:
Lich's Mastery
Can't lose the game? Sure!
Stitcher's Supplier
,
Assassin's Trophy
!!!
Doom Whisperer
= GAS,
Glowspore Shaman
= Diesel,
Golgari Findbroker
= Petrol,
Necrotic Wound
= Lamp Oil,
Plaguecrafter
= Tinder,
Underrealm Lich
= Elon Musk
These new cards allow the deck to churn its library into the graveyard- essentially giving us two libraries, and some great card selection.
The basic game plan is;
Early(ish) Game:
Cast
Stitcher's Supplier
or
Glowspore Shaman
, mill 3. Enchant either with
Journey to Eternity
. Follow up with
Plaguecrafter
, using sacrifice or combat to kill your enchanted creature and flip Journey- getting
Atzal, Cave of Eternity
.
Mid Game:
Cast or reanimate
Doom Whisperer
,
Underrealm Lich
to get the engine online. Pay life to Surveil or draw until
Lich's Mastery
is in hand, on top of library. If it ends up in the graveyard it can be returned to hand with
Golgari Findbroker
(as can your other creatures and enchantments).
Late Game:
Play
Lich's Mastery
, there should be plenty of lands and unwanted cards in your graveyard/ hand to keep you alive while you reanimate
Plaguecrafter
and
Ravenous Chupacabra
to clear the field.
Doom Whisperer
and
Underrealm Lich
alpha away. After you have milled a certain # of creatures
Necrotic Wound
becomes very effective.
Assassin's Trophy
and
Vraska's Contempt
should deal with any tricky non-creature permanents.
Arguel's Blood Fast
can be utilized at low life to keep the engine online. Eventually it should be possible to swing with a
Doom Whisperer
, post combat pay and sac it to
Temple of Aclazotz
, gain 6 life and draw 6 cards
Lich's Mastery
, then pay to reanimate with
Atzal, Cave of Eternity
. Exile cards from graveyard and hand at will, by this point you will have a (virtually) higher life total than your opponent. Starting total of 20 + total # of cards in hand + graveyard.
Final Note:
As long as they remain in play,
Underrealm Lich
and
Lich's Mastery
will prevent you from losing the game via decking yourself. (Source: MTG Gatherer)
