Just the GUTS

I had an idea.  I think I'm just going to put together the interactions cards in my presentations.  This will help stimulate discussion on what should be included or help those who just want to build around some good cards.  Most of my interactions are interesting but not too competitive.  Maybe by stumbling through several interaction ideas, we can stumble onto something monstrous.  Stand by for first transmission.

Dwarf Tribal (Rotation Proof Standard)-Working out the Deck

-

It's time to narrow down the card selection.  With tribal decks, I like to think of the ultimate tribal deck (in my opinion) which is Elves.  The way elf decks use synergy to build massive armies is what every tribal deck strives for.  First we need to discuss win conditions in full: Win Conditions: 1. Traditional Tribal win: creatures get big and swing in. Key cards: Metallic Mimic and Depala.

Here are the white cards that utilize the ASCEND mechanic: Of these, Radiant Destiny is the most promising. Radiant Destiny becomes an Always Watching, which was a great pairing with the exert mechanic (or any creature card really). Here are the blue cards with ASCEND: These cards are slightly more impactful than the white ASCEND cards.  The card draw with Kumena's Awakening and Secrets of the Golden City are decent.  Slippery Scoundrel becoming hexproof and unblockable could be a nuisance to an opponent.  But it 's Timestream Navigator that is the most interesting.  While it is a fragile 1/1 creature with a 2 CMC cost, it does provide an interesting late game play option.  This is definitely worth playtesting in different creature based decks.  The green cards are: These two creatures have some rea...
