Recently I asked about
Xira Arien and what to do with her. I ended up drafting my first group slug & stax deck.
https://deckstats.net/decks/93006/1693547-xira-arien-group-slug-staxThe plan is to churn out lots of stax effects that make my opponents' life miserable and slowly accumulate damage at the same time. I have three problems:
- I have too many cards.
- I don't know how to win. There's a win package in the maybeboard that could potentially replace all the cards that induce damage.
In this case I'd have to remove Collector Ouphe and Null Rod because I need to be able to activate the Equip-ability on Illusionist's Bracers.
- I'm not sure how I will survive. Do I need some life gain to mitigate (& break parity) from all the symmetrical damage effects?
Is there another way? I considered Torment of Hailfire but wasn't sure how good of a finisher that would be considering all the stax I have.
Xira Arien breaks the parity by being able to draw me cards when others have to keep discarding them and getting stuck with expensive & damaging things in their hands. Like I said this is my first time crafting a stax deck. Help will be appreciated. I understand Jund isn't a primary colour combination for stax but I think I've done enough of Esper and the likes for the time being.
