MTGO Proliferate Surprise

Deck Help forum

Posted on Oct. 21, 2012, 8:11 a.m. by jcris25

My next deck idea is to build a proliferate deck built around Darksteel Reactor . I went to magiccards.info which I believe is fully up to date with all card listings and I was surprised that a simple search revealed only 14 cards available on MTGO that allow you to proliferate. I have the cards listed below. What direction should I take with the deck and what would be the best use of cards for this idea? I was thinking lots of spell prevention so Darksteel Reactor can build. What do you think guys?

Creature

Core Prowler

Plaguemaw Beast

Thrummingbird

Viral Drake

Enchantment

Inexorable Tide

Instants

Fuel for the Cause

Grim Affliction

Steady Progress

Volt Charge

Sorcery

Spread the Sickness

card:Tezzeret's Gambit

Artifacts

Contagion Clasp

Contagion Engine

Throne of Geth

Help me out here guys. Thanks

i could find Power Conduit cant say if its any good but you could remove +counters from creatures with conduit and put em on Darksteel Reactor . then again wouldnt you want to attack with the creatures instead...

I would say at least get in a second win con in there. If it's just Darksteel Reactor The deck is way too one-dimensional. If you want to Proliferate, why not beef up a little on the Infect concept in addition to it?

I ran a doom deck once with things like Surge Node , Lux Cannon , Titan Forge , Stoic Rebuttal and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas . It was quite fun for a while but it's not really a strong deck, although Tezz's -1 ability on Vault Skirge was quite something.

Voltaic Key is good for getting more out of the artifacts that you tap to proliferate.

There are cards like card:Azor's Elocutors that are sort of like it and also Luminarch Ascension which would benefit quite a lot from proliferation.
