My Johnny Sense is Tingling

Paul's Perspective

July 2, 2010

Welcome back readers this week I have decided to take a break from improving Archnenemy decks and instead build a multiplayer deck around our exclusive preview card from Wizards if you have had the pleasure of seeing it. Here it is in all its glory.

Wild Evocation is a special kind of card, it makes casual Johnny's excited and its pretty much guaranteed to be constructed and limited jank except if some sort of insane combo pops up. The fact this card is symmetrical makes it an interesting card to build around. Making sure your opponents have fewer cards in hand then you do or making sure the cards in your hand are powerful. I chose a small selection of cards to utilize for their effects. Obliterate is a universal board clearer that handily does not touch your own enchantment, Storm Herd is an off color card can creature a huge amount of chump blockers and can serve as a win condition. Curse of The Cabal can be suspended to play politics or just hard casted for extreme prejudice.  Some support cards to insure you have only the spells you want to cast in your hand are Putrid Imp a handy discard engine with no limitations that can occasionally swing and deal damage and Skullmead Cauldron, a discard and lifegain outlet. Ensnaring Bride and Infest are meant to deal with creature swarms. Utilizing these powerful spells is good but having a way to recur them is better. Ill-Gotton Gain's way be a more expensive then some players are used too but this card allows you to set yourself up for turn where you can play powerful spells. Finally for this deck Skull of Ramo's allowing you to accelerate into mana and can be sacrificed before an Obliterate. Pulling our deck together we get something that looks like the following. Once again if you see anything wrong or have ideas for improvements change it up or contact me at PlatinumFUBU5@hotmail.com.  Hopefully M11 will have more cards for combo player such as my self and other players. Enjoy! Also the Chimney Imp in the deck list is Wild Evocation.
