Thoughts: A Mental Meandering —Dec. 8, 2015

Some changes I've pondered over the last month:

  • Farseek will come out for Steve (Sakura-Tribe Elder); Farseek can grab shocks but fails to get basic forests. This and Steve's ability to be easily recurred and grabbable by Gather the Pack, Commune with the Gods, etc., are the deciding factors in the change... That and Steve is awesome.

  • Scout the Borders is coming out for something, perhaps Phyrexian Arena; I would feel better having a couple more ways of drawing cards and Scout just doesn't do as much as I'd like... However I must think about whether I have enough Mulch-type effects in the deck to warrant running the reanimator effects, left over from the deck's origin. This might change my decision.

  • Finally, Sigil Captain is coming out for the newest addition, a Cathar's Crusade on a stick known as Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest... This card synergizes so much better with the rest of the deck and has a lot more potential for growth... That, Sigil Captain's color intensive cost and the fact that not all my tokens are 1/1's all contributed to this decision.

These next couple are a lot less concrete in regards to whether or not I'll make these changes.

  • I'm considering the removal of Harvester of Souls and maybe even Soul of the Harvest for more early game draw cards like Dark Prophecy and Vampiric Rites, in an attempt to lower the curve a bit... Then again they're good enough threats... Not sure on these, but it warrants testing

  • Not sure if I have room or whether I have enough ways to fill the grave to make this card worth the slot, but I REALLY want to try out Meren of Clan Nel Toth... This probably isn't the deck for this card but... I can't help but think I should at least test it, perhaps in Ashen Rider or Unburial Rites' spot... Probably the latter

And as always, there's Blood Artist... You'll be in this deck someday, I promise. I just don't know when that day will be.

I spent an hour last night trying to figure out how to get the HTML formatting to work. Copy and pasted the section on the Tappedout Formatting guide and the button wouldn't reveal the content no matter how many times I pressed it. I can only assume that something was lost during the transition. After a day of fiddling with it, I give up. If someone wants to be on my Christmas Card list and attempt to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, then you are awesome. If not, or if you have as much of a clue as I do about this, that's fine too. I'll still think you're awesome. Just check out the deck if you want, and ignore the long unwieldy description... Unless you want to read through it all, whatever floats your boat. All I know is for the time being I'm gonna finish my description and break up the information as such; Header, followed by Intro to Section, followed by the list of cards in the category in a list form with a short explanation, trying my best to explain why that card is in this comptitive-ish list over your average bulk rare... This should probably be an update but,... Hits post comment Oops.
