It's that time of Spoiler Season again! Time for Ransom09 to try to make a standard-playable U/W Heroic decklist! This time, we're working with Journey Into Nyx!
(Just getting started with this thing, so offer suggestions please!)
Favored Hoplite- A great 1 Drop who always gets bigger. Fast aggro with prevented damage, and it also works as a tempo card since the Opponent can't trade or chump advantageously.
Battlefield Thaumaturge
- The powerhouse of the deck. Giving him hexproof isn't usually relevant, but making (x) spells essentially free is very relevant. Now we can cast
Glimpse the Sun God
for a single white mana, tap down an entire field, and up all of our heroic counters! Not to mention spells like
Glimpse the Sun God
and Launch the Fleet can now act as protection against spot removal for our trusty Thaumaturge.
Precinct Captain- A great turn 2 blocker who can make additional dudes. Right now, he rarely attacks after turn 3, and I am considering other options for this spot!!!!!
Akroan Skyguard
- He's cheap, he grows fast, and he's got wings!
Triton Tactics
and Retraction Helix do mighty things on this guy, and he block and detain anything!
Fabled Hero
- If all else fails, one or two +1/+1 counters on this creature can prove very difficult to deal with.
Glimpse the Sun God
- At the end of the Declare Attackers step, this can trigger each of our Heroic abilities for a single white mana, while also tapping down our Opponent's entire field.
[[brave the elements]- Protects everybody except
Battlefield Thaumaturge
.
Retraction Helix- Only recently have I come to really appreciate this card. It triggers Heroic. It bounces any permanent I don't like to look at, and if all else fails I can use it to bounce that Favored Hoplite back to my hand before he gets eaten by that Devour Flesh.
Launch the Fleet- Wanna make TOO MANY soldiers for a single white mana? This card is busted with
Battlefield Thaumaturge
, but even without him, it makes late game attacks significantly better. Leaving blockers behind is never bad.
Curse of the Swine- I will most likely be moving this to the Side, but for now, it's essentially sweep removal for UU.
Gods Willing- additional dude protection against burn and MonoBD.
Negate- More dude protection, and defense against the dark arts (Devour Flesh)!
Pithing Needles- Tired of getting picked on by the BANT Walkers lunch table? Stick a needle in that junk.
Revoke Existence
- Dem 3 drop Gods are worrisome.
