So I've decided to throw some more money into this hobby as I've been transitioning from Magic Online to cardboard. Today that was spending $50 on my Dark Tutelage deck that's been slick online. Its only other rares beyond Dark Tutelage are a set of Phylactery Liches, one Sword of Vengeance and a Vess.
This deck mostly plays on speed and the combo between Bloodtrone Vampire and Reassembling Skeleton. As you see with Dark Tutelage, I get an extra card at draw step for the penalty of the casting cost (Think of it as passing kidney stones if kidney stones were gold). From here I put down Liches (casting cost of 3) and make a bomb of
Each pair of mana = +2/+2 from the GY and back including what other skeletons I have in play.
Building on the skeleton I have Viscera Seer which can Scry 1 (I can see if I want to draw the next card with Tutelage or not).
If I choose that the next card will kill me on draw or that I don't want it, I can use the same chain of skeletons to find what I need.
Lastly, this is the engine of my life and early tricks.
It's a mono-Black deck and somewhat of a pauper, but that's exactly what I need... a deck to become familiar with the current Type 2 Standard. I used StarCityGames and I'll comment on their shipping... the prices seemed fair.
you know your cards
ReplyDeleteSeems reasonable...Though I never was a big fan of the dark tutelage card, but with the right backup it works.

ReplyDelete$50? It seems like a fair amount but you've really got this planned out now, haven't you?
