Title: Locust God Wheels
Post by: erikfrenz on May 08, 2020, 08:15:48 pm: Locust God Wheels (https://deckstats.net/decks/148609/1637068-locust-god-wheels?revision=0#show_description)

This is a rough draft of a wheels deck I've just started working on. It's not optimized because I don't own a lot of the optimal cards like Purphoros, God of the Forge (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Purphoros%2C+God+of+the+Forge) and Mana Echoes (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mana+Echoes).

The idea of the deck is not new, but there is a hidden combo in here with Sage of the Falls (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sage+of+the+Falls) where you just draw your deck and make a deck's worth of tokens (also, it's a "may" ability, so you can stop whenever).

I also realize I'm painfully short on answers here (save for the 8 countermagic cards), so I'll want to find room for Pongify (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Pongify)/Rapid Hybridization (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Rapid+Hybridization), Reality Shift (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Reality+Shift), Chaos Warp (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Chaos+Warp), etc. to deal with pesky permanents.

Otherwise, I'm happy for any and all suggestions on swaps I should make if I've forgotten anything obvious!

Post by: daviskd94 on May 24, 2020, 09:09:55 am: I just want to make sure you know, because if you play with friends in a more casual setting this might upset them, but having Teferi's Puzzle Box (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Teferi%27s+Puzzle+Box) and Narset, Parset of Veils out at the same time will cause them to never draw anything. That first card they draw on their draw step gets immediately put on the bottom of their library, unless it's an instant or something with flash (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Flash) and they can play it, and then they don't draw anymore because of Narset. It has ways to be dealt with, but you'll put a huge red target on yourself with that combo.
