Okay, so our favorite planeswalker *may* have turned evil, and we *may* have lost as many matches as Ajani has lost marbles, but the night is still young.
We still have a chance to pull out some victories. Maybe we’ll have some better matchups.
Something you’ve no doubt noticed with this deck is that if we can get to 6 or more poison counters through regular gameplay, it’s quite likely that we can close the game out if we draw into enough cards and lands to play our big finishers.
Like a more traditional Infect deck, once our opponent starts to wall up, we need to rely on cards Tyrranax Rex, which can swing in for a surprise Toxic 4, or Planewide Celebration, which can proliferate four times to inflict the remaining counters, to close our match out before they can overtake us. Our other proliferate cards, if we draw enough of them, can also close the gap similarly.
No deck is perfect, and I may lose a lot with it, but it’s a deck I do enjoy piloting in Historic Brawl when the opportunity presents itself. A singleton, non-rotating format is also much more pleasant on my wild cards and wallet, allowing me to remain largely free-to-play.
And because of that, it also allows to stick with Arena long-term.
