Hey guys, so I’ve been playing this deck for a long while now, and As I’m sure you all know by now, Lingering Souls sucks. Too many TITI’s and red chickens flying about makes it a one turn 3 mana blocker.
So I was thinking of what to put in the three mana slot, and here’s what I came up with.
“You shouldn’t play Scourge without playing 4 Serum Powders as well! Oh! The horror! The Horrrrror!
Wait a minute.
Eldrazi Horror. Scourge is a Horror. That means just one thing...Fxxk off TITI!
Also, there are plenty of synergies with the rest of the deck.
If you need some card advantage, get the Scourge sent to the graveyard and then Surgical it.
If you’re mana starved, wait for blocks, then path it.
Having Scourge and Relic out at the same time is basically a blocker a turn. The card advantage over time is fantastic. You just keep playing it. And playing it. And playing it. Until you find the crucial removal or smasher, or whatever.
Speaking of removal, the Ratchet Bomb is coming straight out as soon as Blast Zone, that EE on a land comes out in WotS. It will replace the Vault of the Archangel. I can’t wait. Putting in a Cast Down or a Dismember. Not sure yet.
