Gathering
Deck Garage
Today's
article
is a
bit
of a
divergence
from
what
I'm
used
to.
Normally,
I am
mindful
of
my
client's
budget
in
that
I
try
not
to
recommend
expensive
rares,
under
the
assumption
that
uncommons
and
commons
are
fairly
easy
to
come
by.
But
this
deck
has
very
specific
needs,
as
you
will
see.
Well, Greg, I'd be happy to help you with this project. As a budget deckbuilder, I'm constantly looking for commons that can stand on equal ground with rares successfully. A common deck that can deal with a rare/uncommon deck seems like a noble undertaking.
Now, I've found that to get the most economy out of cards, your best bet is multicolor cards. Being two colors acts as a drawback, so that the card can be more powerful for its cost. So what B/W multicolor commons are there worth considering?
Blind Hunter
Castigate
Pillory of the Sleepless
Putrid Warrior
Soul Link
That isn't much, I'm afraid. You've already got 4 Castigate, and 2 Pillory of the Sleepless. But that lone Arrest should be a third Pillory. A few Putrid Warrior would probably help, like by replacing Starlight Invoker and maybe a Twisted Abomination, but don't replace all the Abominations since they're your biggest creature.
Aside from that, there isn't all that much to do here. It would probably help if you could give your Abominations trample or some other evasion ability, like with Dragon Shadow, or by replacing Vulshok Morningstar with Neurok Hoversail or Whispersilk Cloak. And Dimir House Guard would make a good addition as well, as a 2/3 fear, a tutor for Faceless Butcher, or a way to sacrifice the Butcher with the "remove from game" ability on the stack, causing the "return to play" ability to resolve first and end up removing the creature forever. I'm almost positive that still works. But I don't know what to pull for it. I'll leave it as a consideration for you. Best of luck, Greg, and have an uncommonly good time at the tournament!
