Endless Iwamori

[Limited]

I really want to make a deck containing Endless Whispers (enchantment - Whenever a creature dies, an opponent gets it at end of turn) and Iwarmori of the Open Fist, as a way of getting overcosted Legends into play...

Right now it looks like this:

4x Iwamori
3x Kuro, Pitlord
1x Ascendant Evincar
1x Vhati-il Dahl
4x Wall of Souls

4x Endless Whispers
3x Haunted Crossroads
2x Night of Souls' Betrayal
4x Time of Need
4x Hideous Laughter
3x Hero's Demise

Which legends should I add? What to use as sacrifice-outlet?

 

[Spiderman]

Staying with black, Recurring Nightmare? Adding red, good 'ol Goblin Bombardment. Using artifacts, Ashnold's Altar?

I'm sure there's lots of black spells that require sacrificing creatures as part of the cost though

A funny addition might be Sleeper Agent, if you're using the idea of "giving" creatures to your opponent.

Hmmm, black has some indeed: attrition, infernal tribute, malevolent awakening.

Legendary creatures that require sacrifices: Commander Greven il-Vec, Braids, Cabal Minion, Crovax the Cursed & Cabal Patriarch. That may be fun too....


Cool deck idea by the way.

It has become UbaMask.dec! Endless Whispers was a fun idea, but it's never going to work I think..

So, wanting to put my Iwamori's to work i combined them with Uba Mask.. (I still don't know whether Uba Mask is annoying enough, or just plain bad..)

Ubamori.dec

Creatures (21)
2x Hana Kami
4x Iwamori of the Open Fist
4x Nezumi Graverobber
3x Order of the Sacred Bell
4x Sakura-Tribe Elder
4x Takenuma Bleeder

Spells (16)
1x Horobi's Whisper
4x Rend Flesh
2x Sensei's Divining Top
2x Soulless Revival
4x Uba Mask
3x Wear Away

Lands (23)
12x Forest
1x Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
1x Shizo, Death's Storehouse
9x Swamp

I've seen the Uba Mask into action and it certainly is annoying. Some decks won't be harmed much, but it pretty much screws card drawing and the wisdom mechanic. Also counter magic is useless and combat tricks like giant growth loose their surprise value.

The fact that you need to play the card or loose it removes the flexibility to wait with your threads or removal. Maybe that could be exploited by adding some mass removal to your deck. Then again, you might draw that when you don't want it.

Uba Mask doesn't have a big impact, but it does have a small impact on a lot of cards/strategies.

I could suggest Pernicious Deed for your Ubamori.dec, but I know you'd probably never play with that card, even if you had any Style points for making it a kamigawa-block deck!

That's an interesting thought though.. playing some Seals as creature destruction would be interesting (Seal of Doom)..
But I kinda like it being CBS..

 

[jorael]

Yeah, leave it up to the seals to take care of any problem!

EDIT: if that doesn't work, I can recommend this one. And when that is to no avail, these mofo's look really threatening!

Enough of different seals to use out there.




EDIT 2: Not funny? But it has been approved!
