Thanks again for covering one of my favorite subjects, I had a fun time both reading and replying to this one! As always, I look forward to your next article! Nothing says inevitable victory quite like a couple ofĪnd have your Golem army fly in for the win! Who not only produce 3/3 Golems, they boost their abilities as well. My personal favorite blink targets are the Splicers, e.g. Starts as a great deal, with 10 trampling power for 6 mana, and just gets better with every flicker. Is well-known for being a great flicker target, as it's 3/3 Beast token comes with a side helping of 3 life, and I will dispute the article's conclusion though, as whether or not flickering wins games depends entirely on what's being flickered.Įverybody knows card draw can win games, by ensuring you have the cards you need to win, so one of the most powerful effects flickering can abuse is card draw.Īre great blink targets because they not only put a card in your hand, they also filter through your deck quickly, digging 3 or 4 cards deep with each ETB.ĭon't dig as deep, but make up for it by giving you 2 cards with every blink.Īnother powerful, potentially game-winning ETB effect is token creation. Very nice article, berryjon! This was a fun look at one of my favorite mechanics, and was a pleasure to read. Pattern Recognition #182 - Flicker 1 year ago A red deck in the theme of burn has also been used (mana vaults, sol rings, fireballs and goblin gernades etc). To compete against this he usually whips out a blue deck with tons of counters, clones, and stealing. So I typically don't have enough cards to reliably power combo, though its likely I'm not clever enough yet to recognize the potential with what I have. For deck building we generally build with what we already have (I have bought specific cards before to be really annoying such as Armageddon). There is some other stuff in there I can't remember like a life boost (I think a creature or two that gives life upon sacrifice). I think its fun because I plays differently in a lot of situations. The deck below is a rough outline of what I can remember for a white deck I put together. That other mono-red hollow deck looks pretty interesting though and probably more our level/slightly above. After looking at that burn deck I understand what sergiodelrio was getting at.
