UW Trove
|
I absolutely love this deck. It's the best deck currently available, tied with Materialism. It's a control deck with every sort of trickiness imagineable. If I were to pick the brokenest card in Verdict during design, I certainly wouldn't choose Trove of Beliefs. Well, this deck has changed my mind. (I don't currently have images for all cards, so please see what each card does either on Apprentice or in the spoiler.) |

How the deck works As you may have noticed, the deck's primary plan is to go insane using counter-based cards. Above them all is Trove of Beliefs, which is simply amazing. Then, there are counter-based cards, like Obvious Hypothesis, Watch of the Circles and Battlefield Prayer. They all work wonderfully along with Trove of Beliefs, but there are other nifty combos, for example, prevent everything with your Watch, only to "slide" him with the Prayer. At end of turn, he'll come back fully recharged. Evil. Then, there are other controllish stuff, like Repress (your attempt at a wrath effect, since a lot of decks simply laugh at Faithful's Victory), Skyscape Wizard (which also goes greatly along with Battlefield Prayer), and Flashwing Celestral (a great "unkillable" finisher). Note that, while the four copies of Dream Tide seem weird, you absolutely need them against more aggressive decks (once again, because of your lacking a true wrath effect). Also, note that technically you only run 22 lands, but the four copies of Witflow Season and two copies of Softgust Season make up for a total 28 lands - and believe me, you'll need them. Tips As you can see, this deck wants to stall the game to a point where it can prevent all damage every single turn, and fly over for tiny beats, until either you win or your opponent's head explodes. And it's very consistent while it's at it. The only card capable of crippling this deck is Cloudfighter Celestral, so you should save your diminute number of counters for them. |
