Perfect Strategy (1 vs. 1):
- T1: Swamp + Dark Ritual + Hypnotic Specter . Classic, effective. Pressure right from the start.
- T2: Swamp + Hymn to Tourach . Opponent's hand should drop to 4 cards. Attack with the Specter, hand down to 3. Alternatives to the Hymn are a Inquisition of Kozilek + Raven's Crime followed by the attack.
- T3: Swamp + The Rack + Sign in Blood . Opponent's hand: ~2 cards.
- T4: Swamp + Blackmail + Shrieking Affliction + Raven's Crime .
-
T5: Swamp + Painful Quandary . This should generate fair pressure, and you can keep the field under control with a Victim of Night . GG comes around turn 6 or 7, but you have to keep the pressure and deal with the topdecking.
-
BONUS TRACKS: On T1 you may get lucky and have 2x Dark Ritual and a Painful Quandary ... that's an awesome start that makes some people concede right away. And don't forget to use the retrace ability of Raven's Crime later on!
Card Explanations:
-
Blackmail
: A card deceptively useful, very handy in this dedicated deck. The opponent shouldn't have usually more than 3 or 4 cards in hand, so this hits everything, including lands. When everything has to be discarded it doesn't matter whether they hide something or not.
-
Hymn to Tourach
: Because
Wrench Mind
is "Meh", let's go Legacy singing some Hymns! This card is nuts, and Turn 2 Hymn does a lot of damage thanks to the random factor. For added fun, make the opponent shuffle his/her hand and choose the cards him/herself.
- Hypnotic Specter : Because few things combine better with Dark Ritual than this baby. A T1 or T2 Specter will make some opponents sweat... specially those aggro and midrange players. Beware with counterspells and bounces...
- Inquisition of Kozilek : Nobody expects the spanish inquisition! The poor-man's- Thoughtseize , more useful in early game than in late game, is still better than Despise and Duress , I believe.
-
Leechridden Swamp
: Damage dealer for the late game, when you have lots of mana and few things to do with it. When the game stalls, this card helps alongside The Rack.
- Painful Quandary : Finisher. Puts the opponent under lockdown, giving you time to plan and hit through combat damage and the enchantments.
-
Raven's Crime
: An elegant discard card that uses those spare lands that fill your hand in the late game. You can't choose the card being discarded... no, you can't, but when the opponent's hand is falling apart like leaves in autumn... choosing is not a priority. Best played in Turn 3, after an Inquisition of Kozilek and a Hymn to Tourach.
- Shrieking Affliction : A Neo-Rack that, in a dedicated deck, works better than the former. In combination with Painful Quandary, the Affliction will pin down any opponent and force him to not playing a card or lose between 5 and 8 life, considering he/she has only 1 or 2 cards in hand.
-
Sign in Blood
: Draw engine that will, for the price of 2 life, keep the opponent on it's toes. Just when your hand seemed empty... BOOM, 2 new threats. Used best in Turns 4-5.
-
The Rack
: A staple in this kind of deck, well supported by Shrieking Affliction this card is Game Over if your opponent can't top-deck an anti-artifact card within the first 7 Turns.
-
Victim of Night
: This hits more creatures than
Doom Blade
and
Go for the Throat
(also there are some
Wurmcoil Engine
s and
Steel Hellkite
s in my playgroup), so it's my first choice. Also the is not a downside in this deck.
