Guardians of the Black Lotus Deck is getting ready for the new cycle. This Temur deck is focused on having a nice flow of big creatures on the field, while adding combos to the deck as well. Synergy is the biggest focus here. Continuously building each turn. Since I do not have the $$$ to work with 4x of Courser, Shrine to Nyx, World Eater, a typical green devotion deck with a splash, I am going for 3 color deck. Splashing in blue for extra win cons.
Once you survive the first 2-3 turns, it will be constant big creatures. Polis Crusher, Stormbreath Dragon and
Polukranos, World Eater
(Both with monstrosity abilities). Using
Xenagos, the Reveler
to add mana or 2/2 haste creatures.
Temur Charm
works in many different situations as its great against aggro decks fighting creatures, countering a spell if you do not have your big guys out yet, or simply to avoid the pesky low power deathtouch creatures your opponent is depending on to defend with.
The best card in my opinion though, is
Genesis Hydra
. You are essentially creating a 2-4-1 scenario. Since this deck is built to have mostly 4-5 drop creatures and planeswalkers, the goal is to play hydra for 6-7 mana. The best part is even against a control deck and is counter-spelled, it will still trigger its ability and go through your deck. A great combo is to have Genesis Hydra for (5)GG, bring out Stormbreath dragon and immediately attack with the dragon. Its a win-win-win.
The Sideboard:
Bring in Destructive Revelry against enchantment aggro decks, artifact decks, control decks with lots of enchantments, etc.
Mistcutter Hydra
against Monoblue, control decks, etc.
Circle of Flame
is against RDW creature aggro decks.
Plummet
against decks with game winning flyers.
Phyrexian Revoker against control decks as well, essentially takes place of Pithing Needle. This is great against heavy planeswalker decks.
Negate to use against control decks or burn decks.
Looking for any suggestions of what I should add, take out, etc. Negative and positive comments welcome. Thank you and +1 my deck if you like it!
