Abuse, abuse, abuse, the Arcbond! Ahh yes, good old Arcbond. While everyone else is still toiling over new ways to abuse what they claim or see to be 'broken' cards from FRF. I've been toying with what I see to be the highest underrated broken card in all of standard. So to you folks I say, keep your Soulflayer Chromanticore decks. Waste away your jeskai tempo decks with Monastery Mentor. Over extend yourselves all day long with the old dreary idea of a Goblin Rabblemaster leading the charge of your mono red aggro deck. And please, please continue to use Tasigur, the Golden Fang to extend your late game because your deck just continues to come up short. I'll still be sitting here with a smile on my face rocking good old naya abuse. :)
So for those who have not already guessed it, I'm abusing Arcbond to the extreme. the amount of win that comes from this card is insane. Once my opponent has the knowledge that I run it in my deck, they think twice about coming in at me with blockers afoot. And thrice when I have my Hornet Nest on the field.
The combos here are simple. Hornet Nest Nyx-Fleece Ram are lovely defenders, one of which can take a major beating making it very difficult for my opponent to get damage in. Especially early game. So where does that leave my opponent? Mid to late game of course, and that's where thing's get really fun. By the time they really have a chance to start dealing any damage I'll have my board more than set up to abuse Arcbond with either Soulfire Grand Master, Hornet Nest, or Seeker of the Way. So much life or tokens, depending on how the game goes on.
Combos:--Arcbond with....-Seeker of the Way because prowess trigger and he deals damage to everything! SOOOOO MUCH LIFE GAIN!--Soulfire Grand Master because the same thing! LIFE GAIN!!! and late game, I have the chance to do it all over again to another creature! WOO!--Hornet Nest Now this one becomes tricky ;). Main combo with this one works with Outpost Siege with dragons as the declaration. Usually it's a Siege Rhino coming my way, well if that's indeed the case, my nest gets kicked, spawning 2 tokens who are all going to be killed, thus making that little block I just did do 5 damage to you! obviously some to me... but that's besides the point! HA!
late game:--Outpost Siege Super underrated card here. It's the new Chandra, Pyromaster! I can have a better late game than most folks with this one single card, that... wait for it.... still waiting... almost... IT STACKS! Yup yup yup! When you have multiple copies out it does in fact stack! I can out card decks that run Dig Through Time Treasure Cruise or even Jace's Ingenuity... You know who you are...Shame... --Hornet Queen, single handed can win a game for a majority of decks in standard at the moment. So why not for me? :P
Sideboard--Banishing Light for spot removal--Anger of the Gods because why the hell not with Soulfire Grand Master--Valorous Stance Come on... Does this one need explaining?--Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker Minus ability can be used with Arcbond and can act as an additional closer.--Deflecting Palm trollolololol... It still works with Arcbond
MUAHAHAHA
So, i'm still in the testing stages of this deck... soooooooo any and all help is greatly appreciated. Just remember to +1!
