Hey yall, I'm back working on a new deck that is SoM Block, so I can get it worked right into standard when M11 and Zendikar move out in October. I have this put together so far, my other decks aren't too shabby either, take a look at my profile. (Yay advertisements!)
BTW, I hope you guys take the time to read this, spent a few weeks play testing the deck, and also spent a lot of time on this description. On the bottom is some random, non-Magic story line, I threw together and thought was cool.
Deck Description: The main basis of this deck is the combo of Artifact Generation (Blade Splicer or
Master's Call
) +
Shape Anew
= Turn Four Blightsteel Colossus! Turn Five, hopefully overwhelm the opponent for a concede or maybe I have to kick it into overdrive, which is the purpose of my other card choices.
Accorder Paladin
: In case my library is mana spamming me or I get nothing that great, he is there to pump up my Myrs or Golems, or anything to help bring in some extra damage while I wait for 12 mana or my combo, or a life point kill.
Inquisitor Exarch
: Some basic turn two "burn-or-learn", either to heal up while I wait, or do threaten my opponent with maybe a slower Tezz Artifact, or a Vamp deck that is punishing me.
Suture Priest: 'Nuff said... this card can make my opponent think twice about UR Twin or any sort of agro/weenie deck. I call her the "Sole Sister" : p.
Blade Splicer: Unfortunately, but fortunately, when I saw this card in the spoilers, my jaw dropped. A 3-cvc that gives me a 1/1 and a 3/3 FS... EPIC WIN! Plus, it gives me another chance to get my
Shape Anew
out if my opponent is gangbanging the Myrs.
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite: This card is another one of those, "Get HER on the field and SHE will nag your opponent to death" cards. Bye-bye Squadron Hawks. Bye-bye Stoneforge Mystics. Hello +2/+2 field dominance! Hell yeah! THE ABOVE IS NOT SEXIST, JUST SATIRE : )
Blightsteel Colossus: My fingers are threatened even to type the name of this c... Blightsteel Colossus jumps out of the picture frame and grows to his full size and wiggles his toes to destroy my computer. That should appropriately describe him.
Master's Call
: I have to love a white card, my favorite color, that pumps out two Myrs, my favorite creature type. It can be used as a quick defense, a possible chance to, you know whip out my... Blighsteel Colossus! What you thought I'd say something different?!?! : p
Stoic Rebuttal: I basically needed a Counterspell that was appropriate for the Scars block. Hopefully when M12 comes out, I will have more to choose from, maybe even Counterspell itself. Yay!
Distant Memories: You know, trade four mana, to get a missing piece of my combo, or if it's game two and my opponent knows my gameplan, he/she can just give me 3 cards, who cares, I have pure damage and Blighsteel pwnage as my win conditions, both are easily obtainable.
Shape Anew
: The key card in this factory, perhaps maybe I shall label it the foreman. It gets me one of my two Colossi, the only artifacts in the deck. Hurray!
Island, Plains,
Seachrome Coast
: Every wizard needs a place to cast things, I just chose the places where I could easily cast a 300 ft tall, 100 ton ball of infectious awesomeness, hint: I'm talking about Blightsteel Colo He did it again. : )
My sideboard is pretty random, I'm hoping for more to put into it when M12 comes out and the new block in October, but I also had trouble deciding what I would even sideboard! Please help with this too, wonderful users of Tapped Out!
Steel Sabotage
: I needed something to prevent turn three Batterskull or anything else, it's just easier to have some artifact removal, I probably wouldn't use the second ability ever though.
Vapor Snag: Simple removal in the block, and some burn, not too bad for 1 mana.
Spellskite: I guess it is pretty good if I need to fend off some burn or removal, even if I'm tapped out or have the mana.
Remember the Fallen
: I was thinking of a way in which to bring back my Blade Splicer or maybe Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or anything I needed I guess, in case removal is really heavy in the games I play.
So I think this deck is pretty solid, to anyone who read this far and down into my post, you are Awesome! I'm looking for new name suggestions too, this one just isn't too fitting. Comment, subscribe, +1 and check out my other decks.
FLAVOR TEXT
As Jace Beleren gathers his forces and ascends to his new form, or what some fearing people call him, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite seeks to dominate him and his Vampire and Goblin allies. She recruited the help of the Blade Splicers in order to use their power known as, the
Master's Call
to
Shape Anew
an even more powerful weapon than Jace, the Blightsteel Colossus, a Stoic Rebuttal against Jace's mighty and vast forces. Along the way, further help was needed to keep Elesh Norn's troops safe and strong while she and her Splicers prepared this beast. Thus, she sought help from Mirran and Phyrexian forces. She recruited a multitude of different leaders including the
Accorder Paladin
s, the Suture Priests, and the
Inquisitor Exarch
s. Distant hopes lead to Distant Memories, new ways to battle; new ways to create. Perhaps, in this epic war of the five elements, Elesh Norn's forces of the
Seachrome Coast
, a land covered in Plains and surrounded by Islands, shall prevail. Glory to the Blightsteel Colossus!
