Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Posted: **12 Nov 2014, 06:54**

Seldom lurker here, I like making gimmick decks and I'd like to contribute.

A difficult gimmick to build around, Precursor Golem is kinda expensive and targeted removal wipes him out. While G or W would've fit better (and G has its share of 'Draw a Card' spells), U has Tolarian Academy and I think the deck needs the 'unfair' ramp. Perhaps I should've made this WU so I can get Leonin Abunas.

Regigigas - Precursor Golem Deck | Open: Main:
1 Aerial Formation
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Basalt Golem
1 Brass Herald
1 Cloak of Feathers
1 Darksteel Forge
1 Darksteel Sentinel
1 Defy Gravity

1 Dread Statuary
1 Fabricate
1 Glass Golem
10 Island
1 Leap

1 Platinum Emperion
4 Precursor Golem
4 Seat of the Synod
2 Shadow Rift
4 Solemn Simulacrum
1 Stone Golem
1 Time Walk
1 Tinker
1 Tolarian Academy
1 Transmute Artifact
3 Updraft
1 Veil of Secrecy

I also have a more reasonable Golem Tribal (since I haven't seen any of the opponents pack that). Mycosynth Golem is much more effective here since its effect is greater with the artifact lands. Though having two Emperions and a Colossus might be overkill.

Regigigas - Golems WU | Open: Main:

1 Sparring Golem
1 Time Walk
1 Tinker

4 Tundra
3 Urza's Incubator

I've also made this Light from Within deck intended for playing on the net. Even if the main enchantment doesn't come up, it still poses as a decent aggro deck.

Solaire - Light from Within W | Open: Main:
2 Chrome Mox
3 Dawn Elemental
1 Divinity of Pride
1 Elite Inquisitor
1 Evangel of Heliod
4 Fiend Hunter
1 Godhead of Awe

3 Hearthfire Hobgoblin
4 Idyllic Tutor
1 Knight of Meadowgrain
3 Leonin Skyhunter
4 Light from Within
1 Nobilis of War
2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
1 Oversoul of Dusk
13 Plains
4 Plumeveil
3 Remote Farm
2 Secluded Steppe
3 Serra Avenger

I've only tested the decks in AI matches a couple of times. Either they fail utterly or they terrifyingly succeed. Any suggestions are welcome. Meanwhile I'm working on Charge Counters, Sunburst and Mono U Unblockable creatures.

The AI is not ready to play this deck. It won't fetch Precursor Golem with Fabricate, Tinker or Transmute Artifact. All the artifacts need to be cheaper than 5 mana for the AI to pick Precursor Golem.

3 Urza's Incubator

We already have a golem deck (Frankenstein 2 & 3), but it's a little bit different, because of the splicers. So your deck should be ok, if it focuses a little more on stuff the other on can't use like Urza's Incubator and Brass Herald.

The deck also has some overlap with Wyatt Earp 3. But it looks solid (other than Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Remote Farm). Maybe i will modify Wyatt Earp 3 to be more distinct in the future.

Here is what i'm testing at the moment:

1 Tolarian Academy
4 Seat of the Synod
1 Vault of Whispers
1 Tree of Tales
1 Great Furnace

1 Darksteel Sentinel
1 Platinum Emperion
1 Sundering Titan
1 Sparring Golem
1 Stone Golem
4 Urza's Incubator
1 Time Walk
1 Tinker
1 Thoughtcast

Both are very solid hard decks.

Wow, thanks for improving my decks and the additions are really cool. I tried testing Charge Counters and Sunburst, turns out the AI wasn't also ready.

EDIT: Seeing that Urza's Incubator or Mycosynth Golem drop is scary.

Scarecrow 2 | Open: 4 Chromatic Lantern

5 Plains
4 Reaper King
4 Scarecrone
2 Scuttlemutt
5 Swamp
1 Tatterkite
2 Wingrattle Scarecrow
4 Adaptive Automaton
4 Door of Destinies

I built an tribal around scarecrows. I guess if you cut the Door of Destiny and / or Adaptive Automaton, it should be easy for sure, though with these it should amount to a medium opponent.

Posted: **28 Nov 2014, 14:12**

How about an Eldrazi-based deck?

I am conflicted. This deck seems to be superior to medium opponents (due to the possibility of Call to the Kindred and Urza's Incubator), though it may not be enough for it to become a strong opponent. I for myself would say it is more a medium opponent then a strong one, because it really needs time to deploy its forces of death.
Should it too strong for being medium, blue could be completely cut, increasing some Eldrazo instead (or changing it to red)

EDIT: on a second note, it seems to be pretty solid for being medium...

EDIT2:

any Idea how I could make this deck more consistent?

Aura and echantments destroyer | Open: 3 Aura Shards
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Enchanted Evening
2 Enlightened Tutor
10 Forest
2 Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury
2 Harmonic Sliver
4 Llanowar Elves
2 Manaweft Sliver
4 Mountain
4 Mycosynth Lattice
6 Plains
2 Reclamation Sage
4 Sunpetal Grove
3 Vandalblast
4 Wickerbough Elder

The idea is simple - getting a Mycosynth Lattice or an Enchanted Evening and then using the abilities from the creatures + Aura Shards to remove any threats. When Mycosynth Lattice is in play, Vandalblast becomes a mass removal, effectively winning the game.
- Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury gives tokens (which can trigger Aura Shards) with mana accelerating or can use its second ability to blast artifacts or enchantments.

The rest of the cards should be self-explaining. This deck has two problems - it is quite slow and needs a lot of cards (or the right ones anyway). Any idea how I could enchance it to become a hard opponent...?

EDIT3:
Do we have a working Moat deck? (outside of Shandalaar)

I think Radiant has that covered, though I did try to make one based on the 'defensive enchantments' theme. What came out was one hell of a stall deck.

Possible Medium Opponent | Open: Quest-Stall Deck

Main:
2 AEtherize
2 Azor's Elocutors
1 Counterintelligence
3 Entangler
4 Fog Bank
3 Ghostly Prison
4 Glacial Fortress
3 Greater Auramancy
4 Guard Gomazoa
4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Hindering Light
1 Intervene
7 Island
2 Martial Law
3 Moat
1 Orim's Prayer
1 Outwit
7 Plains
3 Propaganda
1 Prosperity
4 Rebuff the Wicked
2 Reverence
1 Sea God's Revenge
3 Sphere of Safety
3 Standstill
4 Tundra
2 Web of Inertia
1 Whiplash Trap

It's Medium since it takes around 6-10 turns to get its magic working and certain deck styles own it; but once it sets it's nearly impenetrable and the 80 cards allow stalling hard enough by raw decking...or getting Azor's Elocutors.

I also made a Soulbound Deck

4 Tandem Lookout
3 Temple Garden
4 Trusted Forcemage
3 Windswept Heath
3 Wingcrafter

Posted: **02 Dec 2014, 13:52**

I was thinking about a slightly different approach - flyers combined with Moat and Stormtide Leviathan and Magus of the Moat.
Additionally Archetype of Imagination will prevent the Enemy from having any creatures able to attack once a Moat or Magus of the Moat hits the board.
Some nice flying cards like Warden of Evos Isle, Suntail Raptor, Cloudfin Raptor (that one can become extremly powerful

) and Pride of the Clouds could boost the flying theme. Additionally Favorable Winds and some cards which are simply IMBA (Baneslayer Angle, Kira, Great Glass-Spinner (there is not a single card required to target own creatures anyway

), Angel of Jubilation (though harder to play), Guardian Seraph (pretty immortal, IMO), Dungeon Geists, Sower of Temptation, etc. There are far enough cards to build a flyer themed deck, throw some Moats into it and it actually could work . . .

I'm still testing and tweaking this deck. There were some AI pitfalls present (for example Eye of Ugin using up all mana every turn). I'm also not so comfortable with it as a medium deck.

Looks good, but i have to test whether it's not too frustrating for a medium opponent.

Alright, if it gets implemented add it under the name "Gabe Newell". I forgot to mention but Standstill could be removed and the following cards could be added in for extra oomph:
Force Bubble
Dissipation Field
Aurification
Ajani's Mantra

Along with any other enchantments that gain bonuses over time. Perhaps it could even be creatureless.

"Wonder Twins", other duos could count.

I don't want to use names of living persons without their agreement.

Testing the deck also revealed some need for tweakings. I have to test some more.

Well, I think it does have a slight different approach. While Han Solos deck is only against enchantments, and often using protection from these, while my deck has the sole purpse of destroying any threats, I do think that they differ. Then again they can feel pretty similar as well.
With my deck I wated to make is an anti enchantment and artifact deck, while Han Solo mostly focus on enchantments. Against, for example, an affinity deck, it should be pretty useless.
If you say, that it is too similar, though, I don't mind

Got it. I totally missed that deck - it is more or less exactly what I envisioned.

Hm, atm I am thinking of creating a Lightmine Field deck, though I don't know if it allos for any interesting interaction. With Death Pits of Rath it would instagib any attacking creature, maybe it can be used to stall time? Death Pits of Rath in combination with Electrickery should work extremly well aswell. If the AI can handle it, is another concern, though

Could use some tweaking, I considered adding R for cards like Vigilante Justice or U solely for Mass Appeal. TBH, the easy isn't as easy as I'd like it to be and the hard one's not threatening fast enough. There's also a mono-W one I made:
