Elspeth is S E X Y.
She's got control of an army that follow her anywhere; mesmerized by her beauty.
She's also got a powerful Renaissance-age Nuke. Yup. Expensive? Yes, do I care? No. Does Elspeth win...? See for yourself when she's on the other side of your territory.
Underworld Connections & Lifebane Zombie allows me add 2 & 2 more devotion to black for Abhorrent Overlord to get 5-10 1/1 flying Harpy tokens. Then, if he dies. he will be reanimated with Whip of Erebos & get even more tokens :D (Remember, they all have lifelink)
You mill me? Reanimate. You counter me? Reanimate. You Fleecemane Lion me? Soldier of the Pantheon You Purphoros, God of the Forge me? Shattering Blow You Guttersnipe & Young Pyromancer me? Ratchet Bomb for 3, yesh?I'll gain a bunch of life and eventually pull one of my win conditions:
Crypt Ghast Use the dark lands to multiply your spells, making them twice as strong, Debt to the Deathless or twice as quickly Abhorrent Overlord turn 5.
Obzedat, Ghost Council Disappears when daylight comes. At night, they drink the blood of your citizens & give it to their master...
Elspeth, Sun's Champion An infantry has arrived. Or they'll send a Renaissance style Nuke to wipe your town of specifically the strongest enemies of who serve but only Elspeth herself.
Blood Baron of Vizkopa If you believe in the Ying-Yang, you won't see the truth, he pounces directly to your planeswalkers, & more blood drinking and refreshments for the Elspeth Operation. & if you're exhausted, he grows 150% stronger, & will finish you off.
Throw 56 Damage at you alternative win-condition?
Stall, stall, stall, turn 10 Crypt Ghast with Sanguine Bond I'll have assuming 8 available swamps, 2 plains, so that's 18 total mana in my pool. Cost 4CMC for Debt to the Deathless + X which would be 14, you lose 2 times X life, I gain that life. So, you lose 28, I gain 28, then since I gained 28, you lose an additional 28 with Sanguine Bond I'd assume that would seal your fate. (That's IF I put Sanguine Bond back in. It's in maybeboard at the moment.)
Most of my creatures have "enter battlefield" triggers ( Lifebane Zombie , Abhorrent Overlord Obzedat, Ghost Council ) which would happen when it reanimates with Whip of Erebos
Duress will be replaced by Thoughtseize when the $30 card is acquired. Got my Elspeth's first. Not missing any cards from deck!
