Torment of Hailfire is going to come at a bit of a high cost in order for it to be effective, but if our deck’s gameplan works out then we won’t have to cast our Signature Spell more than once to end the game. The deck we’re going to look at today is particularly interested in capitalizing on her first and third abilities.Īs for a Signature Spell, most players tend to lean towards discard enablers like Dark Deal and Mind Rake, but I’ve opted to go with a payoff instead. Kaya, Ghost Assassin is unlike most planeswalkers in that instead of building towards an ultimate ability, she’s actually built to tick down in loyalty and eventually reset herself using her first ability. It’s a bit surprising to me that this iteration of Kaya currently only has 47 decks built around her (according to EDHrec) since she was specifically designed for multiplayer gameplay. Kaya, Ghost Assassin is a great Oathbreaker to build a version of this strategy around, especially since Oathbreaker is a multiplayer format. These kinds of decks are most often either mono-black or black/red, in my experience, though there are certainly other variants of the strategy out there. Discard-based strategies look to empty their opponent’s hands entirely and proceed to punish them even further for having an empty hand with cards like The Rack. Most discard spells used in other formats are targeted discard spells used to remove specific cards from a single opponent’s hand, but there’s more to “discard decks” as a deck archetype.
I’ve never gone over a dedicated Discard Deck in an article before, and this week’s decklist takes the best parts of typical discard strategies and mixes them with a little extra blink-based value. Thank you to CaptainAntiHeroz for sharing your list and suggestions with me!įor this week’s article, I’ll be taking a look at a much more traditional archetype, albeit through a slightly less-than-traditional lens. My favorite spicy inclusion in their list is definitely Hold the Gates, a card I had never even heard of before, but it seems perfect for their version of vigilance tribal. They also shared their own take on the deck ( linked here), which includes a number of cycling cards, as well as a toughness-matters subtheme. Reddit user CaptainAntiHeroz recommended I try out Odric, Lunarch Marshal, given the number of redundant keywords in my original list. I always love to see what different brews/recommendations players have to share after reading these articles, and I was particularly curious to see what players would have to say about a newer archetype like vigilance tribal. I took a stab at building Bant vigilance tribal in my last “New Perspectives” article, which you can find here, with Tamiyo, Field Researcher.
