Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

It's been said and done many times. Just wanted to put one together for myself. Use torpor orb to negate the downside of cards like phyrexian dreadnaught, eater of days, etc.

Deck discussion for Torpor Orb

I think this is a bit creature heavy, I would add more spells that allow you to respond to stuff your opponent might do.

That aside, why 3 Phyrexian Dreadnoughts and 4x of the others? Its the best out of the bunch. I'd focus on the Dreadnought and Hunted Horror. Maybe Avatar of Discord but even it feels a bit slow.

Eater of Days just isnt worth the risk of playing it. You pay 4 for only a 9/8 and if they destroy your Torpor Orb in response you basically lose the game by skipping two turns.

You can also add Stifle or Trickbind, which can be used both to counter the ETB triggers if you dont have a Torpor Orb yet as well as potentially messing with a lot of stuff your opponent wants to do.

Also, Nyxathid and Diregraf Ghoul do not work with Torpor Orb. These are not triggered abilities. They are static abilities, essentially statements of fact about the card, not something you can counter. Plus Diregraf Ghoul would be horrible in this deck even if it did work with Torpor Orb. You have a 1 drop 12/12 trampler, you hardly need a 2/2.

If anything, replace the Ghouls with Vexing Devils to get a 4/3 for one mana. Otherwise put spells in to respond to your opponents.

Nice deck Enraged Kraken. Btw, Illusionary Mask works similar to Torpor Orb. Put a set in.

I hope you could give me short advices on these decks on your free time:
