Artifact (1)

Sorcery (4)


The idea is to pull off an Abzan-colored Rock archetype, but replacing the mana ramp shell with a delve-convoke shell.

Fatties

  • Eidolon of Countless Battles is a beefy hitter on his own, although I much prefer to stick him on a trample target over anything else. This is because, with trample, I'm likely to clean up some small dudes from the opponent's side without burning any hate.
  • Siege Rhino is the best. A six point swing when he lands, plus he's a 4/5 trample for 4. He can also tap for green convoke in a tight spot.
  • Siege Wurm didn't seem all that great when he came out in M15, but having another 5/5 trample body to bestow and eat up the board is awesome in this build.
  • Swarmborn Giant is tough to get rid of when I have a lot of dudes out, but he doesn't have trample, so in all he's not that great.
  • Feed the Clan does not get enough love. Ten life for two mana at instant speed can turn a bad situation into purposely baiting a softened hit to the face, leaving the opponent exposed for game next turn.

Hate

  • Murderous Cut can be really cheap to cast, especially if I've already hit a lot of my other hate or token making spells.
  • Sorin, Solemn Visitor also goes great with a token storm, but can also make dudes and has a terrifying ultimate for haterodding.
  • Abzan Charm permanent removal, and in a tight spot can refill my hand or gets me the one or two points I need to close up a game.
  • Savage Punch helps break up stalemate-y board positions against other midrange decks.
  • Bile Blight kills a surprising amount of dudes in the current meta, let alone wrecks full-fledged token decks.

Shell

  • Raise the Alarm is a staple in any convoke build. Usually I prefer to EOT make some dudes, but I can also drop it for free on turns where I'm also convoking.
  • Ornithopter helps convoke and Eidolon go off and is an occasional target for the Eidolon's bestow ability
  • Murderous Cut can be really cheap to cast, especially if I've already hit a lot of my other hate or token making spells.
  • Evolving Wilds helps resolve a murderous cut pretty fast, it's one of the cheapest cards in the game, and with all the tap lands in the meta, not that slow in comparison.

Round 1

  • Opponent Minotaurs
  • Result 2-1 me

Usually I have trouble with fast decks like this, but games two and three I was able to hit my early game kill spells, then proceed to eat up his board with trample.

  • Favorite Play Stain the Mind naming Ragemonger

Round 2

  • Opponent Mardu midrange
  • Result 2-1 me

Again with the red? Her Butchers were troublesome and won her the second game. Game three I got lucky when she never saw more than two lands.

  • Favorite Play Dropping a Seige Rhino, three turns in a row

Round 3

  • Opponent Abzan Midrange
  • Result 2-1 him

At times this match up felt like a mirror match. It went back and forth pretty consistently, the victor being determined by who hit his draws better.

  • Favorite Play Abzan Charming all the things.

Round 4

  • Opponent Mono-green
  • Result 2-0 me

This was a fun match up, my big green dudes going head-to-head with his. My removal was more generic, so I was able to get there first.

  • Favorite Play Bestow Seige Rhino then drop an Ornithopter. He Naturalizes the Eidolon, then makes he block with the Ornithopter. So I bestow again and drop another thopter, then swing game.
