Hi,
coming back to Magic after a 20 year break I am eager to take part in the upcoming gameday. Did buy some BFZ and Origins cards and now it comes down to basically two different deck choices.
I want to play a sacrifice archetype based on
Zulaport Cutthroat. Either I go with Black/White and include the Allies mechanic or I go B/W/G to gain
Evolutionary Leap and
Gather the Pack but without relying on Allies.
The two different decks I came up with:
B/W:
BW Cutthroat AlliesB/W/G:
Abzan CutthroatsThe advantages/disadvantages as far as I can see:
BW Cutthroat Allies (B/W)+ less clumpier Mana-Base
+ Ally Mechanic (
Kalastria Healer) as an added lifegain to survive Aggro Matchups
- not streamlined towards the central sacrifice idea
B/W/G:
Abzan Cutthroats (B/W/G)+ better Manacurve with
Blisterpod instead of
Carrier Thrall+ more tuned towards the Deck's supposed strength (attack, sacrifice and bring back from graveyard)
+ more sacrifice outlets through
Evolutionary leap- no Ally mechanic
- clumpier Mana-Base
What do you think and suggest for taking out to Gameday next week?
Thanks for any tips and advice
