Kels, Zombie Cult: Feasible?
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2020 10:50 pm
When I saw Kels, Fight Fixer, I knew I wanted to build a deck for her. I have a really bad habit of wanting to build decks simply because of the art, and this is no exception. Sometimes, it has turned out well. My Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis deck is one of my absolute favorites, gets all the shinies and everything. But Kels is coming in oddly for me. I already have a mono-B tokens/bleeding deck with Ayara, First of Locthwain at the helm, and I love it. (So I'm not taking it apart.) I have a sort of aristocrats build with Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free, too. I have draw-'til-I-win decks, too, with Niv-Mizzet, and some others in our meta.
I generally hate the Dimir pairing, but Kels makes me not mind. I would be willing to do mono-B as well. So I am wondering if she would work as a Zombie tribal general? I know that Dimir zombies are fine, but would she just be purposeless? I mean, draw and a sac outlet in the CZ seem good, and zombies are good at coming back to be killed again, but...
I'm just sort of stumped here, and I don't want Kels to go the way of Sevinne, the Chronoclasm or flip Avacyn and just live in the binder.
