Decklist

I saw this deck on a lemmy-like social media platform that shall not be named, and fell in love with it. I think this is a really cool and tight package. The cards work together super well and you get to draw so many cards that it feels very consistent. I play [[Annihilating Glare]] instead of [[Lash of the Barlog]], but I’m otherwise mostly on board with the card choices (some minor substitions for cards I don’t own, such as the artifact lands).

My local meta isn’t super competitive (it’s mostly just me and a friend who borrows my brews) so I haven’t tested its mettle against really powerful decks, but it feels like it has game against a lot of decks. I’ve been toying with with the idea of using [[Dark Ritual]] to speed up the deck, which I think we could get away with since the deck draws so many cards and uses mostly black mana. I’ve also considered [[Crack the earth]] but I suppose that’s more of a sideboard card against decks that play very few permanents such as turbo fog or something.

I think [[Reckoner’s Bargain]] should be considered over [[Nasty End]] since sacrificing an artifact is much easier, but an extra card off the ring bearer is of course pretty sick. Not sure if one should play [[Lightning Bolt]] over [[Cast into the fire]]. That feels like a meta dependent choice. I feel that in my janky meta there is very often something you can kill with Cast into the fire, and it’s worth it.
