The following is my attempt at a deck that utilizes constellation. One of the coolest things about constellation is that it triggers all sorts of goodies and can slowly take over a game. Let's see what we've got here:
Underworld Coinsmith
silently lowers life totals, and is a place for excess mana.
Brain Maggot is just awesome. Knowing the opponent's hand can lead to key decisions that would otherwise surprise you. He loses his potency late game, however.
Nyx-Fleece Ram is there to save your buns till they're ready. As long as you have more life than the opponent, you're in good shape.
Grim Guardian
is a great way to lower life totals on the opposing side, and he works wonders in multiples.
Athreos, God of Passage
is a troll. No, not a
Mossbridge Troll
. Pay his toll, or Brain Maggot is coming back for more.
Mogis, God of Slaughter's two damage per turn is a great clock, and if they start to sac creatures, you've probably won.
Erebos, God of the Dead stops lifegain and his devotion is turned on quite easily.
Supporting 'Chantments:
Havoc Festival is your main win-condition. With the life drain you've been doing all game, odds are that you'll have more life than the opponent when this hits the field.
Underworld Connections. Drawing cards is great when you gain enough life to negate the "downside" of using this number.
Font of Ire
is just a bad Lave Axe, but it's an effective way to reduce the opponent's life total into lethal range.
NOT ENCHANTMENTS (Boo!):
Rakdos's Return
uses up excess mana and is a decent source of burn/disruption]]
Hero's Downfall Removes planeswalkers, mostly. We can't afford to have them sticking around for too long. In times of need, creature destruction may be in order.
As for the sideboard, I've little insight. I'm sure that Extinguish All Hope would be a blow-out versus the right deck, and another
Rakdos's Return
feels right.
Stab Wound
comes in against creatures that don't die to it, but it doesn't play well with Mogis, God of Slaughter.
Slaughter Games
targets Sphinx's Revelation and Supreme Verdict, which pretty much poop on this deck.
Thanks for reading (if you did) and please feel free to leave a comment/suggestion. More updates coming, because I'm excited about this deck.
