Circus Flaminius
Approximate Total Cost:
Got bored of Judith, and found the deck a bit too swingy, so I'm trying again with Syrix and mixing some discard aspects in with the aristocrats.
I'd deliberately avoided Bontument and altars because I don't really want to be combo-based, and I don't want opponents getting spooked and nuking me into the ground. I should throw Hazoret's Monument in though, as it's also more filtering and fuels discard synergies. Jet Medallion is just too expensive and no-one has one.
They're still expensive, and I have more than enough ways to recur my commander with all the looping shenanigans I've got going on. Neither of them are good value to discard early and I've found 4drop generals to be really awkward if I have a lot of other 4drops.
4/4 keyword soup for five just isn't particularly good, and I don't have many ways to get extra value off it. If I find I need more combat bodies, that's one of the first I'll add though.void_nothing wrote: ↑1 year agoDepending on your meta, Cairn Wanderer could be a suitable option: it counts other peoples' graveyards as well, so you could have a Phoenix with a bunch of keywords to throw around.
See my prior point about keeping 4drops low. Also people get weird about "help everyone" cards in one of my metas, where if someone gets back a Rec Sage or whatever and nukes someone's else stuff, they'll come after me because I "let them do it". Yeah, I could politics with it, but part of politics is knowing the local norms, and adapting to them.
