Top 20! —March 14, 2015

This deck broke the top 20.

Anyways, 44 comments is too much, so I had to clear them.

Changes:

  1. Thanks to lemmingllama for numerous points of advice, made this deck noticeably stronger.

  2. Considering wwapping Intuition and Fact or Fiction for Grim Tutor and Tainted Pact thanks to the suggestions of Femme_Fatale. More playtesting required.

This could be more viable for multiplayer if you drop some of your spells for creatures that do the same thing. As for faster, you are trying to win off of 1 card; your only option is to tutor. Check mine here. Urborg School for Mimes

I've seen your deck, and I was wondering what exactly I should remove of my spells "that do the same thing as creatures?" If you had any specific ideas I would be happy to consider them. I am not trying to win only off of Hermit Druid, I have other win conditions.

If you want to win faster, why not use the good old Necrotic Ooze + Triskelion + Phyrexian Devourer combo? It's a little more consistent than Hermit Druid, plus it also allows for Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion as well.

Also using Narcomoeba and Bloodghast with the Dread Return plan can be effective, plus you can do your normal combo if that gets disrupted.

Oh I forgot. Victimize can turn Hermit Druid into a two card combo. Very useful.

Jarad's Orders can get your Hermit Druid and dump something for Mimeo to eat. Also, running Phyrexian Delver makes for good synergy.

As for spells on a stick... Reclamation Sage Acidic Slime Woodfall Primus Destructor Dragon Terastodon for noncreature removal. Fleshbag Marauder Sheoldred, Whispering One Bone Shredder Big Game Hunter Overseer of the Damned Shadowborn Demon Shriekmaw Stingerfling Spider for creature removal.

rob_shifflett - that was a lot of cards that you recommended, but there are very few of them that I would actually add, because I have cheaper spells that do the same thing. I might add the Mikaeus, the Unhallowed or the Necrotic Ooze/Phyrexian Devourer combos, but I feel that I would lose consistency by removing any of the other spells I have. If you have any specific ideas on what exactly I should change, then please tell me.

Well, Necrotic Ooze is nice since he can be a copy of Hermit Druid if the druid dies. Also the Ooze combo is a little faster and requires less cards, so I would recommend that.

As for cards to potentially cut, I would look at Leyline of Anticipation, since it is useless unless you get it in your opening hand, Remand since it only delays the inevitable, and Venser, Shaper Savant since he doesn't give us enough value for his mana cost.

lemmingllama I removed Leyline of Anticipation and Remand for Necrotic Ooze and Phyrexian Devourer, I will test this and see how it plays out. I still like my best win-con to be casting The Mimeoplasm and swinging with him for lethal in 1 turn.

First of all, your page takes WAY too long to load. Remove some of that html, and DEFINITELY remove the upvote prompts. Those are irritating as hell and they encourage people to NOT upvote.

If you wish to learn html, just google stuff, or even better, go right click and inspect element. You learn quite quickly from that.

Only comment is I will not up vote. Why? You used pop-up prompts. Boo!

Femme_Fatale and Ender666666 I was running an HTML code test with this deck, and embedding itself onto its own page, that's what caused the multiple prompts to show up. I changed it to something much more toned down, that was my mistake in having that there.

Any number of asking for upvotes is just irritating. Don't do it, people will upvote if they like it or not. Begging does not give people the self satisfaction in giving someone else a benefit.

Femme_Fatale this is the script found on Epochalyptik's 2 biggest decks, I'm not alone in putting a link at the bottom of my deck.

You have a pop up though. I'm not adverse against buttons, but a POP-UP is too much. I also refuse to upvote people who ask for them in their descriptions or comments.

Take that code off the deck. Now.

I'll upvote. #yolo

Epochalyptik which code?

March 10, 2015 7:10 p.m.

Kryzis says... #20

Champloo THANKS MAN! Anyways, I really do appreciate it, and I wish there were more ways for un-upgraded users to feature decks.

March 10, 2015 7:12 p.m.

Any script tags and anything else that might be creating a popup or prompt.

March 10, 2015 7:17 p.m.

Kryzis says... #22

Epochalyptik may I then redirect you to here Html and Storm crows, where I found the pop-up script.

March 10, 2015 7:20 p.m.

I don't care where you got it. Get rid of it.

Femme_Fatale says... #24

The only things an upgraded user has against a regular user in terms of decks is A) username quality and B) 2 more deckcycles. Believe it or not, the deckycles don't do much in terms of deck featuring.

Kryzis says... #25

Femme_Fatale but upgraded users also have feature tokens, and I know they only get 3 at first, but they are also able to and willing to spend money on the site. I have neither the resources nor the prerogative to buy anything so immaterial. I just wish there were more options as to what we can do.

And Epochalyptik I will change the script when I have the chance, but I'm on a long car ride right now and can only use my phone.
