Creature (1)


A sort-of hug deck where I choose who benefits most of the time. Hint-it's usually me in the long run! But it's disguised as hugging. I like the controlling nature of this while also helping everyone have a good game. Even my removal spells give a consolation prize.

So far this is the Stalwart Unity precon with some modifications, using cards I had on hand. The strategy is to play friendly in the early game, using your control cards to help out the weakest player or keeping the biggest threat in check. Use your opponents' resources to your advantage when possible (such as buffing one of their creatures with Duelist's Heritage to hit someone for more damage, or cloning their best creature for yourself). By the late game, you'll probably have a wincon in hand and can take out the last player.

I'm excited about the several political goodies in the new set! Here are my updates.

Arachnogenesis > Teferi's Protection - Can't get much foggier than this.

Open Into Wonder > Curse of Verbosity - why not entice others with some card draw? I don't usually have many creatures to attack with anyway.

Blazing Archon > Disrupt Decorum - I liked the archon the one time it saw play, but 9 mana is a lot. Disrupt has synergy with some of my other "encourage others to attack" cards. I guess you could say this one is the most encouraging of them all.

Spectral Searchlight > Curse of Opulence - Instead of holding back my mana rock in case I wanted to give the mana away, now opponents can earn it for themselves, and I get one too!

Benefactor's Draught > Fractured Identity - I liked the idea of Benefactor's Draught, but the opportunity to really use it never came up. Maybe it will go back in someday, because it does have the potential to draw me cards. But I need to jam in this great political hug card.
