Big changes in August.
First off,
Captain Sisay has been retired. The
Paradox Engine ban hit her hard. She still wins games, it just takes longer. A lot longer. She just wasn't fun anymore.
Second, got two new decks. Brudiclad is my new low-power deck. There are a lot of good cards in it, but it is still a weak deck. Mostly just because Brudiclad is overcosted. He should not be 6 mana. My other deck is
Atla Palani, Nest Tender, which I have begun to call "Scrambled Eggs". It's a combo deck that revolves around
Mirror Entity. First, I somehow give Atla a buff (like from Mutegenic Growth), then I activate
Mirror Entity's ability for
X=0, about 10 000 times. All my creatures become all creatures types with 0/0, and promptly die (except Atla, she has the buff). Because they died as eggs, I reveal until I hit another creature, which will also die when the next instance of
Mirror Entity's ability resolves. Eventually,
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or
Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre will die this way, causing my graveyard to get shuffled back in, resetting the loop. Then I have
Ghitu Slinger added to the mix as an outlet.
It's a strong combo deck.
Third change: There is another deck called "Petitioners". This is just my Scarab God deck, with all of the creatures replaced with
Persistent Petitioners. The deck is now completely reliant on my opponents having good creatures, because I just have petitioners.
I played 27 games in August, and lost only 4 of those games.
Yeah... something's not right.
