Kess Update
Approximate Total Cost:
Awesome, thanks for the insight. I'm curious to see how my playgroup reacts to discard, as it hasn't shown up yet. I can definitely see myself fitting in more board wipes, such as Damnation. I think I want to fit Bottomless Pit in the deck somewhere.yeti1069 wrote: ↑4 years agoI ran a very similar list for a while and had a lot of fun with it (though no one else did).
Some suggestions:
Bottomless Pit is a better Necrogen Mists (I ran both)
You're probably going to need more board wipes: everyone hates discard, so even if you aren't the biggest threat at the table, everyone will likely be gunning for you.
Because of my reliance on boardwipes, I tried to minimize the number of creatures I was running.
I think the Myojin is way too expensive for what you're getting.
Mystical Tutor is worth running.
Sangromancer helped weather the hate immensely.
With how reliant the deck is on enchantments, I was considering including a way to recur them before I took the deck apart to build some other projects. I was considering Skull of Orm.
I found Primal Amulet to be very useful on both halves. Sometimes, two wheels just closes out the game.
Propaganda could be worth running to slow down the hate as well.
Shrieking Affliction did some work. Typically I wasn't finding that I would empty everyone's hands, but could usually get one player down to get hit each round, which allowed me to focus more on the other opponents.
Capsize is fantastic with Kess. You can cast it normally, then cast with Buyback from the yard to return it to your hand. Plus, it's a real answer to cards you can't otherwise deal with (like enchantments): bounce, wheel.
