by Ixionnoixi on 04 November 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

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

This is one of the last decks I'll be buying for a while and am excited about how it'll work. I just want to make for certain it will work how I'm aiming for it too.

Of course, I'd love any input anyone can give and definitely an explanation as to why a suggested card may work better or in general. Thanks.

It's main bit is to function as an aggro deck that puts out early pressure that stays until the game ends. The creatures come out early and can just keep coming back.

Some revisions:

I took out my royal assassins X3
Replaced my Abyssal persecutor X4 with Hypnotic Specter X4
Changed out Grave pact X2 for Demonic tutor X2
Wondering what creatures will give me the most immediate threat but can keep coming back like Demigod of revenge.
Is Grave pact necessary? And... Is there a better spell than consume spirit for what I'm going for?
Thanks.
Replaced Kokusho for Massacre wurm as it does play faster, Took out a land, and
Put in Hatred. Wasn't willing to go over 62 cards but is certainly a kill shot. Tutor or draw it for the kill.

Edit: Replaced demonic tutor with another infernal tutor to change over to legacy.

Deck discussion for Calamity revision (Critical input greatly wanted)

Two suggestions right off the bat:
1. Get Forge...Best way to test decks against AI. Its free, but still Bata.
http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8428
2. Print out Proxies of this whole deck, and play lots of games with it. That way you will KNOW how it performs, and you are only out some Ink. If it works as well as you want, Then buy the real thing. Thats what i do.

So....Im going to test this deck in Forge, and see what i can find for you.

You really really need to put a tutor of some kind in here. Im seeing 15+ mana before i can get to Consume Spirit. Cruel Tutor/Demonic Tutor would work well.

Thank you. I'll probably proxy it all myself as you said and also see what tutor works best then.

Pretty powerful deck you have here. I would do some change though. I would run Kokusho only in a multiplayer game, so it could be a sideboard option. Massacre Wurm could be put instead (and trust me, it really do a Massacre) and i would run also 1 less land. Also, Hatred wins a lot of games, and with a Phyrexian Crusader in play, it could be a pretty unexpected death, i would put out the Hypnotic Specter. cause it´s a good card but not very suitable for this build you made in my opinion. Hope it helps, and tks to comment my deck too.

It doesn't look like Bloodghasts are necessary in a deck like this. How are you going to use them? If it's just a low costed creature, there's much better. Black knight for example, or Order of the Ebon Hand, or Phyrexian Crusader.
If you want to keep the ghasts, use a couple Terramorphic Expanse to have more resurrection power.

Second, Demonic Tutor is limited to 1. Don't know if you were aware.

I'd appreciate a comment on my most recent creation:

First off. Thanks a lot for the Demonic tutor info. I wasn't aware actually. I'll change it.

As for the Bloodghasts, not only do they get haste, but they are great for sacrificing for mana and I feel, I should be pulling in mana easily enough already. So all in all, they are not only a low costing creature but are also a resurrecting, quick (aggro), creature used both for even more mana, and pressure.

Yeah, I almost always, always, always, use 60 cards as a set rule however, it's when tutors are involved that I'll allow small things like those two extra cards. Running all the ratios and making it equal, it does run smooth and considerably more-so with tutors but I know that if it does ever become a problem, I'll make sure to knock it down to 60. Thanks for your input.
