Theme: The Deck Preaches peace, frienlyness, and prosparity to others. It halts the Arms race with its Mind Slicers. Stops the killing with Ensnaring Bridge. And just seems like the nice guy.......... Then BAM!!! as soon as you embrace the peacefull Cephalid you feal the knife enter your back.
Yup, Cephalids with Megrim add for a nasty combo. Basicaly halt any attacks with Recoils and Spite. Take out any meat with Ensnaring bridge. Counter anything too deadly. Then start milling away. That in itself should kill. But top that off with a Haunting Echoes and it's all over.
This design seems to have many problems. The ones I see are:
1) Although the mama curve seems good, I can't help but think it's heavily flawed. You'll have to look at it.
......1cc = 0
......2cc = 6
......3cc = 18
......4cc = 15
......5cc = 2
2) It's built around the assumption that I will face a creature full environment. I'm not sure if I will or not, but If I don't then the Recoils and Spite will be sitting dead in my hand. (another good thing about the Cephalids)
3) Obviously there are too many cards. I've worked real hard and narrowed it down to these cards. But I can't get rid of 5 of them. It took all my will power to get rid of Bamboozle and Traumatize, I'm not sure I can get rid of anything else without advice. I do think that this deck could do without Haunting Echoes, but that card is a very fun aspect of this deck. (can't wait to see my opponents face after this thing is built)
4) there are a lot of cards with UU or BB in the casting cost. I'm not sure how to work around that, or if I can.
Well......Now for the deck you've all been waiting for.....The one with 2 sure ways to kill, The peacefull Backstaber, The Pasifist with the Iron fist.......IT's....---Drum roll----
