you are on a dark and lonely street, lit only by a flickering street lamp. fog rolls in as a round table slides in from the right... there are 3 figures dressed in black cloaks seated around the sides and an empty chair, presumably for you. you hesitate to sit down, but what else can you do? there's an otherworldly pressure compelling you to sit... you do... and the games begin!
Phage is a woman of many needs, however, once you get past that harsh exterior she is death incarnate. The reason i play this deck is because its unbelievably satisfying getting a kill with lady fate. none of that confusing general damage. nothing more than a point and a combat phase.
all get you by that "you lose" clause. All the card draw and tutors keep consistency among games and black has a ton of powerhouses
(ps. it was hinted that "A card that turns a loss into a win" will be in INN, lets hope its black/grey!)
this list is in dire need of a Guardian Beast but i cant seem to find one. comment on my options and suggest below.
Fun but fragile. I know many of my current playgroup would be waiting for a Krosan Grip for the Torpor Orb in response to the cast. Guardian Beast would help but will be expensive to get.
I doubt you'll find many people playing it, but watch out for Backlash. (I happen to run it in my list because of particularly pesky generals in my meta.) Your boots and grieves will help, just don't leave exile without them.
Why not run whispersilk cloak? You can also run that black counterspell for creatures only and play gravedigger effects. I forget the name of the counterspell. Sorry
bandit lord is a nice fit. I have read that primer and personally think that countering phage myself and digging her back out is a little too much of an investment. vorlaths stronghold would be good for the deck because that card is just a monster. i did have the cloak in at first, but i figured that i had a lot of equipment already and enough evasion/protection that i could support my queen without it. I'm sure it would add consistency, so i will playtest and see how things go.
next time i head back home i will be sure to grab stuff from my collection and update
thanks guys and all the comments are appreciated
