PLANESWALKERS OF MIDGARD PRESENTS
MATT'S DRAFT DECK #1 ARTIFACT DECK DENIAL
With our first draft of Fulcrum: Godfall there was a lot of colors splashing about but Kyle found the tricks in Black and Blue to be too difficult to pass up; combo'd with some hefty hand taxing and meaty creatures, Kyle had what it took to get ahead of the competition.
P.S. I wanted to call his deck
"Greedy Card Shark"
Alrighty, so this time I wanted to downplay the black creatures (since they had some severe creature advantage in the first set that was a little irritating-- a lot of black and green decks floating about), but this is less about black effects, a couple of black fillers, and one big black planeswalker than it is about blue aritfact creatures and nasty enchantments. The way to win with this deck is card advantage; make you opponent dump their hand, keep drawing cards, and you'll have enough threats down that they can't deal with them all. The only thing that kept this deck from steamrolling any opponent is some strong anti-artifact support in two opposing green decks; leading to a final record of 6 wins and 4 losses.
Kyle told me he really despised the Rust Monsters and, while I rather like them, I can see how some cards related to them might need to be nerfed to allow strategies like the ones in Kyle's deck to keep from getting derailed for cheap mana.
