Testing out a fun modern deck built around hasty big fatties and
Collected Company
. Hypothetically, this build can deal lethal by turn 4 if it is magical Christmas land. But seeing as we live in reality this wont happen very often. The idea here is that the opponent will have to choose to block with one of their creatures or take a large chunk of damage. More often than not my 2-3 drops will kill their larger creatures and thats ok with me! Odds are I will not be running this deck at an FNM or an actual event but on the off chance I do constructive feedback on how to optimize the deck are appreciated.
Instants
Collected Company
: Go fetch two hasty big fatties and swing! GREAT value in this build. For 4 mana this instant can pull a combination of either
Ball Lightning
's or
Groundbreaker
's off of the top of my library and swing in for 12 damage. Such value!
Artifacts
Vivien's Arkbow
: A new addition to this deck that gives it some good mid to late game capabilities.
Creatures
Ball Lightning
: Hasty 6/1 for three mana with trample that is easily fetchable with
Collected Company
.
Birds of Paradise
: Mana dork to ensure that there are enough lands to hit a collected company.
Boggart Ram-Gang
: The fancy thing about this guy is that he will leave a mark on the bigger guy when he deals damage to them. Wither is pretty much infect as far as creatures as concerned. This gives the opponent a difficult decision where they can block and have their big creature get -3/-3 permanently or let him hit for 3.
Groundbreaker
: Time shifted
Ball Lightning
. Same concept as its brother.
Hell's Thunder
: The only flyer in this deck but for 3 mana this 4/4 packs a punch! His unearth is a great late game finisher.
Spark Elemental
: Early game aggro!
Strangleroot Geist
: Hasty 2 drop that comes back with a vengeance!
Hellspark Elemental
: Early game aggro with unearth as an added bonus!
Lightning Skelemental
: The new addition to the deck and now we have 12 x 6/1 hasty tramply balls of death. This one is particularly killer on turn 2.
Cards I will not add: Creatures without haste.
Thanks for having a look at this deck. If you have any comments please feel free to share them with me and if you liked it +1's are a great way to show it :D
