Transformers Universes Beyond —Nov. 29, 2022

The release of new Transformers cards means I absolutely must get as many of them as I can into this deck. Choosing what to remove isn't easy. I think I need to shift off of the dinosaurs a bit more in order to fit some of these new cards in.

In:

Ultra Magnus, Tactician  ^Flip - I'm most interested in his vehicle form attack trigger making all my attackers indestructible. There might not be the critical mass of artifact creatures to make his robot mode ability work as often as needed.

Prowl, Stoic Strategist  ^Flip - Adding a bit of removal or card draw feels good considering how deficient this deck is in both.

Slicer, Hired Muscle  ^Flip - Everyone likes Assault Suit, right?

Arcee, Sharpshooter  ^Flip - I don't know that I'll be tossing around +1 counters often enough to get the best use of Arcee. I think I will be casting her vehicle form more often because it can place counters on herself.

Blaster, Combat DJ  ^Flip - Once again, I don't know I'll have the critical mass of artifact creatures to get Blaster's full value, but he would help Arcee. His ability to move counters around feels useful though.

Out:

Snapping Sailback, Territorial Hammerskull, Thundering Spineback, Ravenous Daggertooth, Aradara Express

I tried to focus on cards with relatively high mv and which lose some of their appeal as I take focus off of the dinosaurs. I like trains and it has been awesome to have all of the train vehicles in the deck so I'm sad to pull the Aradara Express, but I feel the remaining high mv dinosaurs are just that much better threats.

Not In:

Ratchet, Field Medic  ^Flip - As much as I want to get every possible Transformer into the deck, I don't think it has the life gain needed for Ratchet to be effective.
