A seriously fun deck that will win very quickly, or at the very least, give you and your opponent(s) something to laugh at. i.e. You can mill yourself if you're not careful with your graveyard; unlike similar decks, I include Elixir of Immortality to prevent this.
My version of the common Treasure Hunt + Zombie Infestation + Land combo deck. Pointers and Deck ArchitectureYour next card will most likely be a land so you should be fine. If it's not a land it will still be something useful, if not vital - so again, you will be fine. It is best to play your first Treasure Hunt on a turn when you have not yet played a land so that you can immediately play Reliquary Tower. Chances are pretty high that after playing Treasure Hunt you will pick up at least 1x Reliquary Tower. Hopefully you finish the search on a Zombie Infestation and enough land to get you a fair amount of tokens. If you finish up on another Treasure Hunt, this is ok as long as Reliquary Tower is on the battlefield. The next turn you will have enough mana to play that Treasure Hunt and the Zombie Infestation you will likely pick up. Reliquary Tower also allows you to save your hand and discard in your opponents end step, allowing you to negate board wipes. Although, technically it doesn't negate summoning sickness this way, it does still reduce the time that your opponent has to freak out over the mass of tokens before you attack. You don't really want to give them time to kill your tokens so it's a good idea to let them spend their mana, discard in their endstep and then swing for the win. Elixir of Immortality has been included as a means of preventing you from milling yourself, although this deck works wonders if you replace it with more land to increase the odds of pulling off the Treasure Hunt + Zombie Infestation combo. Mystifying Maze simply adds a little defence. It allows you to temporarily remove a single threat. I play against some seriously OP exalted decks in my meta which makes this card incredible effective against that super pesky Finest Hour + Rafiq of the Many combo. If you don't know what I'm talking about, have a look: Badass Bant. My mate put a lot of effort into that deck and deserves your +1 and criticism :) Lastly, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD, don't play Treasure Hunt if you know you have no more non-lands left in your library and Elixir of Immortality isn't in play or cannot activate it's ability. You WILL mill yourself this way. Combos
Future UpdatesI really liked the way the deck worked when it was just 4x Treasure Hunt, 2x Zombie Infestation and 54x various lands. I added Elixir of Immortality to prevent that embarrassing self mill. I doubt you'll need 2x so I'll play around with this deck a little and see if it is best to swap one out for a land to get a 7:53 spell:land ratio. I may also consider adding Barren Moor, Lonely Sandbar and Cephalid Coliseum. I'd add Bazaar of Baghdad but who want's to spend that much money? Please provide your opinions and upvotes. |
