[joke] Craw Blade 2020 rehash!
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2020 1:36 am
Inspired by @K405 on MTGS in 2011, back in the height of the "dies to doom blade" responses, was hyperbolistic players that complain about anything that was not big dumb creatures attacking fairly. This is a repost of that deck, and then latre on, how it would look today in the face of power creep. As a point of historical significance to this community, I figured it was worth bringing over here for the laughs.
So with all the talk lately on the forums about it I figured I'd give it a shot and try building Craw-Blade.dec The main goal of the deck is to get Craw Wurm and Greatsword in your opening hand or at least as soon as possible so you can swing in for stupid high damage with it. Since the format limits to one of each some improvising needed to be done. Here's what I've got so far.
As you can see there are some pretty potent synergies. Overruning after using Thriss on the Craw Wurm holding a Greatsword will pretty much assure you victory. And if you can't get to your Craw Wurm in time there is always Krosan Cloudscarper if you want to go for a really cheap way to win. Or even Grizzly Bears for something alot more fair.
Any questions or comments feel free to post them.
As for the general choice it seemed the best fit. It's a powerful effect, but it's not something just sickly over powered like Azusa. I mean 2 extra lands a turn? That's crazy. And land ramp really is out of control in general so no Kodama's Reaches or Harrows or the likes. As for creatures, no one likes to see Terrastadon or Woodfall Primus drop so no reason to include them. And for equipment choices, Argentum Armor is just to op in this format to run in a casual deck. Same with Quietus Spike and things that give flying.
Boom. Now the legacy of this meme will live on post mtgsally and on with mtgnexus.
Doesn't need it's own thread, but for the posterity of famed joke decks in true hyperbolic fashion, I thought I'd bring it over too. Originally created by @Shmo40 on @mtgsally.
The Ultimate EDH "hey man, RTFC!" deck!
Yeah ok Fusion Elemental isn't a legendary, yeah i know. But it's the only card in magic that really fits the beef. If i had to pick something serious it would be Progenitus.
A word to the wary: This is NOT a cheap deck.
