We've add two more copies of Grim Haruspex ($0.90), bringing the total to three, and three more copies of Smothering Abomination (setting us back $2.81), upping the total to four. These are the cards that allow our deck to "go off." We get to draw a ton of cards and trigger Zulaport Cutthroat by sacrificing things. It has plenty of things to sacrifice and a few sac outlets, but is missing the big payoff. One of the problems with the Event Deck is that it's lacking engine cards that really make GB Aristocrats scary. To make room we cut another rare, Brood Butcher, which is too slow and clunky. To complete our early game sacrifice fodder package, we add one more copy of Sultai Emissary, bumping the total to three and adding $0.11 to the cost of the deck. To make room for Carrier Thrall we cut the four copies of Rot Shambler. While the Shambler has the potential to get huge, it's not resilient enough for Standard. While adding more Hangarback Walkers is an idea, Carrier Thrall does a pretty good imitation and four copies only adds $0.68 to the cost of the deck ( Hangarback Walker is nearly $60 a play set). Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Whisperwood Elemental, while powerful, don't fit the deck's game plan.įor GB Aristocrats to work, we need a critical mass of one and two drop creatures to be sacrificed. While it might seem strange to cut two of the most objectively powerful cards in the Battle for Zendikar Event Deck, GB Aristocrats is a synergy based deck. It needs all of its cards to work together to be effective. To make room for two more Zulaport Cutthroats, I cut the Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Whisperwood Elemental. In short, it's the most important card in our deck and playing less than four would be wrong. This card is the engine that makes the "sacrifice things for value" plan work and is the finisher that lets us combo our opponents off. You really can't play Aristocrats without four copies of Blood Artist. The first thing we did was add two more copies of Zulaport Cutthroat, or $0.98 to the cost of the deck.
#MTG GOLDFISH STANDARD ARTIFACT DECK KALADESH UPGRADE#
Looking over the list, it's fairly obvious that the right way to upgrade the deck is to head towards a GB Aristocrats build. That direction not only utilizes many of the uncommons and commons in the deck, but it also takes advantage of the deck's most powerful cards including: Smothering Abomination, Zulaport Cutthroat, Grim Haruspex, and Llanowar Wastes. So this was our starting point. A fresh, out-of-the-box Battle for Zendikar Event Deck. Typically, you can spend $10 to have a deck be fringe FNM worthy, but being able to compete with tier one decks makes the Battle for Zendikar Event Deck stand out among similar products Wizards has printed recently. This minor overhaul is extremely impressive since this usually isn't the case with Event Decks and Clash Packs. As you can see, by upgrading the Battle for Zendikar Event Deck with just $13, we can turn the "new player" supplemental product into a competitive deck.
