MTG Salvation

Just a fun little deck I threw together. Did I miss anything obvious?



Basically just trying to keep the board clear while I set up Knollspine Invocation / Jaya Ballard, Task Mage or can get ahead enough to just burn them out. Not in love with Sliversmith but it's cute.

fiery temper
Chandra's Phoenix

both work good with discard effects

Yeah, Fiery Temper is already in the list. I've been on the fence about the Phoenix for a bit, but I guess a recurrable two damage probably just makes sense.

I just played about 10 matches with jaya as my leader, it think it makes more sense to just run squee, gamble, chandras phoenix and death spark and guarantee you have a discard outlet. But either way the engine is the same and it feels pretty good....

I considered Jaya as the general, but given that there are more effects that cause you to discard than there are cards that benefit from being discarded (like three?), I figured giving Squee lots of consistency was more important. Gamble is a really cute trick there though, I like where your head's at.

The only issue is that its hard to get squee in your yard from the command zone. And I cant take credit for the gamble-squee interaction, it was the gentleman who started the jaya thread

I figure you drop him turn 3 and you just use him as a blocker. If they don't swing, he'll die to Earthquake or any of its variations (other than Anger of the Gods ), or even just use one of my own burn spells on him EoT. People not wanting to swing into him can be very beneficial for my life total.
