Samurais are strong creatures that have a conditional permanent buff, almost an inner
Giant Growth
inside them with their bushido, almost coz its predictable but anyways i wont need
Giant Growth
and ill tell why. In this deck we have fellas like Battle-Mad Ronin and Isao, Enlightened Bushi with an insane +2/+2 bushido that they carry on, a potential 3/3 guy for 2 mana with a downside of constant attack that i doenst mind and a 3/2 one with excellent abilities for mid-late game.
The desirable scenario is that we will like to make them strike hard at opponents face with Rancor or Madcap Skills and also make some samurais blocking every time i need to kill threats putting bushido in good use using Fumiko the Lowblood or
Rage Nimbus
. Thats also my permanent inner burn stuff that you will see ahead.
Looking at them alone they seem not so powerfull with their 1/1 and 2/1 bodies, its just that people will let them pass unblocked to doesnt trigger bushido rite ? Yes, thats rite, and solely coz of this ive got the full set of Rancor and Madcap Skills to them. Battle-Mad Ronin gets crazy with them and hes here coz of them, if not blocked people will take decent damage each turn or just will loose a bunch of creatures or big creatures if they decide to block. Imagine him with Rancor attacking at turn 3, a 3/1 for direct damage, a 5/3 fattie if blocked that can kill giants or dragons. With Madcap Skills its even worse coz of evasive possibilitie, just a 4/1 if no more than 2 blockers or a giant 6/3 if blocked, at turn 3 also. That under estimated guy makes my friends Ash Zealot look bad at turn 3 when he realize he will use haste to get rite tru a 3/3 guy making the zealot an innefective expensive bish...
And meng you proly thinking why you no burn on this deck?? Well, i have Fumiko the Lowblood and
Rage Nimbus
working as permanent inner burns same way bushido is working as permanent inner growth... Ill just force the creatures to attack with fumiko and get who i want to kill or killing them all, or if i doesnt want that manny attackers i can be picky with
Rage Nimbus
dragging that one i wanted to to be slaughtered by him or by my samurais. Using fumiko its when the opponents start to lower guard and i can just pick who i wanna kill blocking with her amazing bushido.
Isao, Enlightened Bushi, i can say its my key samurai, cant be countered for good and his samurai shared regenerate abilitie make him a star on this deck letting any samurai survive more than expected while im killing stuff and dealing damage.
Brothers Yamazaki
are those pesky guys when i have 2 at table and with the backup of isao situation its quite bad to deal for most opponent and their creatures.
Signal the Clans
its what makes my wild R/G samurai deck attempt come true. Ill just pick Isao, Enlightened Bushi,
Brothers Yamazaki
,
Rage Nimbus
or Fumiko the Lowblood and choose one of them at random any time of the day... Ill love to get an Isao, Enlightened Bushi if i doesnt have one already or
Brothers Yamazaki
if i have one already, Fumiko the Lowblood still awesome whatever coz she can make me kill whoever i want
Other than that Sakura-Tribe Elder and
Radha, Heir to Keld
for little help in mana ramp as ill need to reach my 3 mana curve stuff kinda fast to start make things work.
