Just a little experiment
Because Simic Mages loves experiments! And we'll like them cheap if possible so that the monopolizing Orzhov can't benefit from our purchases!
3 Challenges in 1 for this deck.
1. Make it a No-Man Deck
2. Play a colour combination that I dislike/never-played before
3. Make it budget and flavorful as per usual
Alright, I won't be sure if this will turn out well. Thus, tell me what you think under the comment section. Please check out my other decks too! (Especially if you value flavor and budget)
Alright, I'll have to clear something up before I start explaining.
I have yet to own a physical copy of this recipe, but the idea of having a large army of ladies, ahem.. humans under my care as they rely on each other in a siege against all odds before finishing the game as a team really intrigues me.
CREATURES
Bomber Corps - 2 drop for a 1/2 should be arguably durable (considering her price), with a deck that generates tokens quickly, she should be able to hurl her pompoms at the enemies in no time!
Geist-honored Monk - 5 drop for vigilance and 2 spirit pals! where her P/T equals to number of creatures you control. That pretty much means she's your power house.
Icatian Crier - 3 drop with a unique ability of {1}{W}{T}: Discard a card, put TWO 1/1 citizens on to the field. Good for sending out citizens for defense I guess, haha. You can use this ability to throw Increasing Devotion away since it has flashback. It's not wasted :)
Rakka Mar - 4 drop for a constant {R}{T}: put a 3/1 elemental onto the field, it has haste. She has haste herself, so technically speaking, 5 mana free will provide you with her presence and a 3/1 elemental ready to die for you in combat.
Stun Sniper - 2 drop for this beautiful Amazon Warrior. I always wanted to play a deck that will eventually include her. But Red/White has always been a turn off for me. (The only way to neutralize the lack of love for their style is the No-Man project). For 1 colourless mana and Stun Sniper can be tapped to deal 1 damage to target creature, that creature stays tapped. Good for early game control.
INSTANT
Strength found only in groups!
Coordinated Barrage - 1 drop instant, make sure you have creatures on your side before you use this! It's pretty good when you have say.. 5 humans on the field, with that number, Coordinated Barrage will deal 5 damage to target attacking or blocking creature.
Faith's Shield - 1 drop that can save your entire army at late game if you're dying... This can be used as 'unblockable too' since it's protection. So that all the ladies will charge over and stab your enemy to death. Beautifully murdered.
Repel the Darkness - 3 drop that allows you to tap 2 creatures, a good early game stall since it allows you to draw a card too (seriously, the problem with playing White/Red for me is the lack of card advantage)
To Arms! - This card is a combo with Flame Fusillade, or simply used for vigilance. Either way, it lets you draw a card for 2 drop. So yeah....
SORCERY
Flame Fusillade - Lob your burning arrows!! 4 drop for the effect of 'Permanents you control have '{T}: deal 1 damage to target creature or player'. pretty much your finisher if you have the right set up. Oh yeah, To Arms! Lets you lob some more arrows.
Gather the Townsfolk - Get the humans out, 2 drop for TWO 1/1 little people, has a fateful hour alternative of 5 humans, either way it should be good.
Increasing Devotion - 5 Drop to Call out FIVE 1/1 humans, flashback for 9 and you call out TEN 1/1 humans.
Roar of the Crowd - 4 drop, choose a creature type (humans for this deck, duh LOL), this spell deals damage to target player of creature equal to number of creatures of the chosen type. Your alternate way to end the game.
