Being a planeswalker, she’s an instant target… but that’s okay. Even when she is just scrying one and popping your opponent in the dome, she’s awesome. Then everyone will want it and it will cost $50.00. I’m sure that sooner or later someone will figure out how to break it. This card is just too awesome not to use. I think he’s the only dragon active in standard right now anyway…… I had to politely explain to them why they couldn’t kill my Glorybringer by exerting their’s. I ran into two people last week also playing Glorybringers. Hey, Mike… aren’t you using this guy a bit much these days? Why yes, yes I am… He’s big, he’s hasty… and he is amazing. How cool is this guy? Of course you do have to discard two cards when he draws you two… and 2/1 is not that impressive…ĭraw four, discard two is a much better deal…of course it does cost 7 to eternalize him… guess that’s what the Lost Vale is for… Also non-legendary, so it’s cool to use up to four of these… I’m settling for two. It’s total awesome sauce!Īnother transforming artifact. Same for any other instant or sorcery spell. It is perfectly okay to play four of these bad boys! Use it to play Hour of Devastation and do it twice. How fucking cool is that? The best thing about the transformed Primal Wellspring? It’s not what it is, but what it’s not, It’s not legendary. When it has four counters, it transforms into… That’s already pretty good, but if you play one, this thing gets a counter. If you’ve got it in play, it makes your instants and sorceries cost 1 less to play. Remember… friends don’t let friends play Temur Energy. I’ve been thinking of running four Lost Legacy standard just to deal with it. If it resolves, (and why wouldn’t it?) it goes not to it’s owner’s graveyard like in normal Magic, but into his library seventh from the top.If the sick little monkey demon Hellspawn… erm, I mean the player… plays it again he wins the game. It gains you seven life the first time you play it. Sure, Approach does cost seven mana, but for those unfamiliar with this particular piece of cardboard, here’s what it does. ![]() Incidentally, the other decks I faced were two Approach of the Second Sun decks which is slightly less annoying than Energy decks, but just barely. And, also natch, I’m going to write about that deck now. Naturally the experience got me brewing a new deck in my mind. Turns out Sunbird’s Invocation is a blast to play. And I only faced two Temur Energy decks! As fat as I’m concerned, that’s a win in itself. And I lost four straight rounds… but I had a lot of fun. Remember last week when I talked about the nifty new deck using Sunbird’s Invocation and I said don’t play it in real life Magic? Well, I did. And then being able to cast it yourself? Huzzah! I picked these up after a tip from my buddy Heather and I use them in pretty much every deck I build. Four mana for a 2/3 creature is not great, but the added bonus of eliminating an opposing threat is great. All of these artifacts hit the graveyard before they poof away into nothingness, making them perfect for Marionette Master. He makes Etherium Cells which are also sacrific-able for mana. ![]() Again, totally worth it.Īnd yet another artifact source is Tezeret The Schemer. I’ve only been able to get two of these so far, but I’m working toward four. At five mana to cast, it s kind of a pricey counterspell, but it’s so worth it.Īnother way to get them is Treasure Map. That’s two for a Longtusk Cub, four for a Bristling Hydra, six for a Veraska, and so on. Counter a spell and get treasures equal to the spell’s CMC. There are several ways to make sure I have the disposable artifacts I need. Then I just need to get rid of five artifacts to make him lethal. When he enters the battlefield, I always choose to give him the +1/+1 counters. Okay, it’s not really that easy… but almost. Marionette Master is the latest way I’ve discovered to do just that and my latest deck is designed to play him and win. ![]() It’s getting so that I literally can’t stand sitting across from an opponenent who plays Forest, Attune with Aether, Longtusk Cub, Bristling Hydra, and on & on. Here’s hoping that I can at least make life difficult for the drones who play the incessant energy decks.
