"Take heed struggler. Struggle, endure, contend, for that alone is the sword of one who defies Death. Do not forget these words." -Skull Knight, Berserk

Freshly updated version of Toshiro; Now with Crimes! ;) All the heavy interaction you can shake a hunk of iron at! Recovery as both a mana-bomb & rez deck, with added resiliency & responsiveness, the speed & tenacity of Guts... You gotta be fast & hardy to last in the bleak world of Berserk!

Magecraft count = 50 (Instants x2) Crimes committed = 30 (Anything targeted)

Give it all another go if it fails the first time, via Tosh-triggered Kaervek, the Punisher or Corpse Dance / Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed.

RPG Element: Alters depict scenes/characters from the anime/manga BERSERK. If Toshiro (Guts) loses while in play, Yawgmoth (Griffith) becomes the General & the Maybeboard swaps into the deck. If Yawgmoth loses (or kills himself), Toshiro returns to lead the next game. Immortal Enemies in an Eternal Power Struggle

"DO NOT PRAY! If you pray, your hands will close together. You will not be able to fight!" -Guts

SINKS: Tymaret, Chosen from Death - Evolved Sleeper - Necropotence - Black Sun's Twilight - Corpse Dance - Barad-dur - Outrageous Robbery - Black Sun's Zenith - The Meathook Massacre - Torment of Hailfire - Agadeem's Awakening  

"You're right, we are mortal and fragile. But even if we are tortured or wounded, we'll fight to survive. You should feel the pain we feel and understand. I am the messenger that will deliver you to that pain and understanding!"

Combos & Synergy:

T1 = Dark Ritual + Entomb + Reanimate / Animate Dead + nasty (eg. Avatar of Woe / Vilis, Broker of Blood / Valgavoth, Terror Eater) (*also early Coffin Queen / Abyssal Harvester) = "A person with the potential to be my true friend must be able to find his reason for life without my help."

Chain of Smog + Professor Onyx = "Today class, our lesson in BDSM begins with..."

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse + Vilis, Broker of Blood / Peer into the Abyss = "You fell into my trap fool! This is your last taste of Heaven before I send you to Hell!"

Sensei's Divining Top + Bolas's Citadel (Aetherflux Reservoir in SB for extra evil) = "If you're always worried about crushing the ants beneath you... you won't be able to walk."

Tymaret, Chosen from Death + Gisa, the Hellraiser = "Graverobbers... those who profit off the dead, don't deserve life."

Yahenni, Undying Partisan (he gets bigger before her next round of triggers resolve) + Massacre Girl = "The King stands alone..." (well, in this case with his mistress xD)

Grave Pact + Ogre Slumlord + any free-Sac (eg. Yawgmoth or Yahenni) = "First the plague killed them, then the rats came to gorge on the bounty."

Nest of Scarabs + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Geralf's Messenger = "When it comes to those humans mad with fear, swarming like bugs beneath the tower, nothing will ever change."

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Gray Merchant of Asphodel + 1 other creature (eg. Walking Ballista) = "You'll all keep dying until the day breaks!"

Tree of Perdition + Sudden Spoiling + flashback Blood Pact or Landfall Dread Presence = "When you meet your god, tell him to leave me alone."

Tainted Strike + Yahenni, Undying Partisan / Vincent Valentine   / Valgavoth, Terror Eater = "There's no paradise... for you to escape to."

Agadeem's Awakening   has a perfect curve, with targets from Valgavoth (9cmc), Vilis (8cmc), Sepulchral (7cmc), Massacre Wurm (6cmc), Sheoldred (5cmc), even Xiahou Dun (4cmc) to keep reusing it!

Cabal Coffers / Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx at 6 + Deserted Temple + Rings of Brighthearth = Overflowing Coffers!

OR Corpse Dance + Magus of the Coffers + Yahenni, Undying Partisan = Deep Mana Pockets!

Once you pop, the fun = Corpse Dance 8D - its suite: Dauthi Voidwalker becomes a "permanent" Mnemonic Betrayal. Sheoldred   becomes 1-sided Lethal Vapors without downside. Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed becomes Praetor's Counsel. Sidisi, Undead Vizier becomes Enter the Infinite. Gonti, Lord of Luxury becomes Villainous Wealth. Gravebreaker Lamia becomes a ridiculous chain of spellslinging. Massacre Wurmfoil becomes Plague Wind with serious life-loss. Overseer of the Damned becomes World War Z. Sepulchral Primordial becomes Rise of the Dark Realms. Shadowgrange Archfiend feeds their worst nightmare. And many more!

"Whether it suits them or not, people yearn for a dream. Sustained by a dream, hurt by a dream, revived by a dream, killed by a dream. And even after being abandoned by a dream, it continues to smolder from the bottom of one's heart...probably until the verge of death...A man should envision such a lifetime once. A life spent as a martyr...to the god named 'Dream'."

Extra credit:

Head Games + Misinformation + Word of Command = Thwart their plans, their mojo, & their livelihood!

Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed reusing Ghouls' Night Out to keep the deadliest recruits, or give him his Behelit Blade Vorpal Sword for the classic: "Skull Knight banishes you to the Shadow Realm!" (also good on a Flyer + Sudden Spoiling)

"He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." - Friedrich Nietzsche
