Doolbeurt on Nasty Habits and Dark Hearts [Gut Tribal]

This deck has some great energy! I love goblins and this as a Tiny Leaders deck is awesome! Gut, True Soul Zealot is really cool and this build will most definitely have me updating my Grenzo, Dungeon Warden deck. +1, good sir!

I have a few cards like that already, but Gut, True Soul Zealot seems like a good way to sacrifice more creatures.

Gut, True Soul Zealot maybe?

Jaxis' ability works on creatures you control not creatures you own. Red has dozens of cheap sorcery spells that steal a creature for one round. Steal it, copy it, sac it. If you steal a Legendary creature murder the card you stole and attack with the copy. You could rearrange the whole deck to do this and the cards you need (like Act of Treason) are very inexpensive.

KBK7101 on So what are the Background …

1 year ago

I haven't done too much research into pairings, but I do think a few had some potential (for me, at least) :

• Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar and Inspiring Leader for Orzhov token shenanigans. The buff from the background helps Shadowheart draw cards, too. Gut, True Soul Zealot and Halsin, Emerald Archdruid also work really well with the background here.

• Ganax, Astral Hunter and Acolyte of Bahamut. Gruul dragons. 'Nuff said.

• Sarevok, Deathbringer and Raised by Giants seems crazy. If no permanents left the battlefield this turn, you lose 10 life? Yikes!

Folk Hero, Clan Crafter, Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher, Criminal Past, Dragon Cultist and Cloakwood Hermit all seem pretty cool, too.

I will admit, I do like CLB's background partner system a lot more than the dungeon mechanic that AFR gave us. It feels much more "DnD" to me. (as someone who's never played DnD)

legendofa on SKELETONS!

As far as color goes, black is vital. Green is probably the next best, for Skeletal Swarming if nothing else. Red isn't critical, but offers options like Flameskull, Lightning Skelemental, and the new Gut, True Soul Zealot. Blue is weak; Demilich is okay in a spell-heavy build, and Skeleton Ship and Mortus Strider have good art. White has virtually nothing for skeletons specifically, but Brave the Sands and Mark of Asylum and that sort of thing is useful if you have a lot of regenerators.
