My Brother in Law and I were running a winston draft, and Crackdown Construct Showed up. We realized very quickly that it could go infinite with Wandering Fumarole's 0 costed ability. Is this a deck that's worth building for somewhat competitive play? We were thinking of using Cards such as Padeem, Consul of Innovation, Built to smash (for trample) and low cost counters such as turn aside and negate to protect permanents until we can get the combo off.
Do you guys think this is a viable idea? What would your instincts tell you to run in a deck like this?
One thought I'd had (And I recognize that this probably won't actually happen) is this:
Since Bolas created Amonkhet, isn't he also trying to create planeswalkers, or an army thereof?
What if we saw some low-cost planeswalker "minions," that came into play with 2 or so loyalty, and only had minus abilities? I.e. -2 - Target creature gets -1/-1 until EoT. That said, I definitely see why this could be a *BAD* idea, since PlanesWalkers can be so overpowered.
I was trying to think of something that would be mechanically "cool" while fitting the Amonkhet theme of Bola's plans for Multiverse Domination.
More realistically: I hope we see cool mummies that play into dope graveyard recursion strategies, which could make Delirium even <i>cooler</i> than it is now.
My name is Maxwell, and I've been playing MtG since 7th ed. I've been an on-and-off player, with the last set I'd played before going on hiatus being Rise of the Eldrazi. I went on break once I graduated college, but my Brother-In-Law got into the game (just as Khans of Tarkir rotated out) and I've fallen into full-blown relapse.
We just had a game day, where my BIL won first place with a Rakdos Madness Vampire deck. I ran a variation of SaffronOlive's Against the Odds Orzhov Fabricate/Westvale Abbey deck and didn't win a single game.
I've been looking for a good community to participate in for a while, and Salve seems like it's the place to be. (The subreddit can be pretty toxic at times.)

Again, nice to meet everyone!
