Anyway,
The new Spirit of Malevolence from M21 made me think of this old idea:
Spirit Gum
Creatures:
The Disk:
Very sketchy landbase (just wanted to run eight copies of an effect that'd reclaim Thief of Hope!)
17 Swamp
Approximate Total Cost:
Thief of Hope doubles up on Spirit of Malevolence in two senses and creates unprofitable chump blocks while you're saving up for more controlling spells. If you get deep enough into the turn count you'll have lots of mana and lots of ways to churn, so much so that I considered including Corpse Churn for thematic completeness! Nevy's Disk plus Cauldron Haze is well-trodden ground for a certain class of casual players and it looks like I'm one of them!
Naturally, if you come up against a spellslinger deck who doesn't mind having their board wrathed then you are absolutely toast!
