Sideboard


Inspired by the existence of Marton Stromgald and Shared Animosity, this deck does about what you'd expect- throw soldiers, attack early, add effects that make attackers stronger when there are more of them, and just sort of keep going.

Of especial note for their unusual effects are:

Marton Stromgald. His rules boost creatures that block when he does as well as creatures that attack when he does, so his mere presence opens up some very interesting defensive possibilities that most decks like this lack.

Mercadia's Downfall. With the preponderance of nonbasic lands in older formats like Legacy, this card becomes ludicrously strong.

Renegade Warlord. This is one of the older creatures out there that really boosts other creatures that attack with it, rather than improving itself when attacking alongside others- and First Strike makes him surprisingly hard to stop. Not always worth five mana, but never really a weak creature unless he's alone.

Volcanic Wind. A touch expensive in mana, but the rewards for an aggressive deck in terms of wiping out enemy defenders are hard to overestimate (especially since it gets stronger against opponents with large numbers of creatures).

This is a 'Sleeved' deck- meaning it's in more or less it's final form. I am not looking for cards to add to or substitute into it, but when I get more cards, I will look at them for things that fit.

My budget for cards is, essentially, nonextant. I very rarely buy singles (less than ten times so far in about twenty years of playing Magic), and usually prefer to see what I can come up with using the booster packs I buy.
