![]() If our plan A does not work out, The Scarab God is the perfect plan B to get our plan A back online! I can argue that Hour of Devastation can work as our Fumigate but I am not keen on playing double red, we will only splash red for Pirate’s Pillage and Brass’s Bounty. We will still play Glimmer don’t get me wrong, but more Pirate’s Pillage.Įvery control/combo deck needs a reset button and we don’t have the best in our colors but Bontu’s Last Reckoning is too cheap not to play. At any point that we resolve a Marionette Master, it’s game over. Having 5 lands and 2 treasures (given we didn’t flip a Treasure Map yet) ramps us to a Brass’s Bounty on turn 5. Once resolved, getting 2 treasures off of it accelerates us to our late game much faster. I had debated if Glimmer of Genius was better than Pirate’s Pillage in this deck and I think it is most of the time, however I am seeing less control decks nowadays and the risk of having Pirate’s Pillage countered on game 1 is slim. Remember that Tezzeret pluses power and minuses toughness, with a 4/6 Marionette Master, she can take a +5/-5 and reach 9 power which would then require you to sacrifice less artifacts to deal lethal damage. He creatures artifacts we can sacrifice to trigger Marionette Master, ramps us to get to Marionette a turn earlier, and his -2 ability if calculated well can make Marionette Master’s power bigger without killer her. Tezzeret never found a good home but we will splash at least 1 copy in our deck because of his synergy with our strategy. It takes down any problematic creature or planeswalker forever and gains you life. Vraska’s Contempt definitely takes some slot because its the premier removal spell available in standard today. With Rampaging Ferocidon gone, we can definitely gain back a good amount of life from this. Battle at the Bridge on the other hand is our only way to get rid of indestructible gods. Supreme Will is our catch all and our way to dig up our win condition.įatal Push will help us get to turn 3-4 until our mana is enough to deprive our opponent of their game plan. Metallic Rebuke is often cast for 2 with the abundance of artifacts we have in play. Essence Scatter is becoming more relevant now than Negate since most decks now are creature heavy. To back up Spell Swindle we need to play early counter magic to make sure we don’t get ran over. If the opponent refuses to cast spells and deprive the ‘swindler’ from casting this, then the Revel in Riches is a dead card on the battlefield. Spell Swindle has been played along side Revel in Riches but I disagree with using Revel as a win condition because it’s easy to play around. It is also very useful in making sure we draw our lands and our spells early and keep the game under control. Treasure Map is by far the best and cheapest way to get treasure tokens early. These 2 cards will be the focus of today’s dech tech! If you cast Marionette Master with natural lands, it would mean you had 6 lands to cast it and get a minimum of 6 treasures off of Brass’s Bounty which is still enough to deal 24 damage even if Marionette is just a 4/6. ![]() There is a reason why they are costed next to each other – because you can win the game simply by casting them one after another. On the other hand, Brass’s Bounty was immediately seen as a bulk rare people hoped not to get during their prerelease. Marionette Master found a found in a UB GPG deck that used Metalwork Colossus and cheap artifacts to sacrifice triggered an eternalized 7/7 Marionette Master thanks to GPG. When these cards were spoiled independently, people viewed them differently and used them differently. I am a fan of block-specific mechanics because I think Wizards pushes these mechanics to the players to boost flavor, encourage out-of-the-box thinking, and to discover interactions previously unnoticed. I am open to have co-writers here especially for other formats so if you’re interested, please drop me a message! I know some of you guys are very sad visiting the page and not see new content getting published but it’s just becoming busier at work now.
