Angels of Lightning
Posted by Mr Z on Friday, October 29th 2010 at 00:11
So I threw together the Numot Highlander deck today, and I am pumped at how well this deck is coming together. Well apart from one small plot point - I am underwhelmed with Numot.
This posed some difficulties as the deck was supposed to be all about Numot. But was it really? As I examined the options, I came to the realisation that it may not have been about Numot and more about the Lightning Angel
Lightning Angel instead.
More brainstorming later and with the removal of Hoard-Smelter Dragon and Numot I ended up with my current Lightning Angel deck list.

Up against a mono red burn only deck - no at all interactive, and after I stabalised, not even close.

A comment was made by Peter that he would quite like to face Crosis
Crosis, the Purger again. For those not in the know, Crosis
Crosis, the Purger was a Highlander deck that used to beat him mersilessly.
That got me thinking - what kind of deck have I not built lately. The answer has to be - 'A highlander deck'. Next thought. Why not? !
Now Crosis
Crosis, the Purger has been a pet deck for many years and has become a little bit old for me. But what about all of the other tri colour dragons? I wanted to build something which featured one of those guys.
Thinking things through, I realised I hadn't played with Lightning Angel
Lightning Angel for a long while, so that lead to Numot, the Devastator
Numot, the Devastator as a focus for the deck.
I added a bunch of cool cards, 5 Planeswalkers and voila! We have this deck.

Threw Venser
Venser, the Sojourner into a Blue/Black shell and let him lose on the world. As you will see, he did very well... The more I play with Venser, the more fun he is. Venser is on his way to becoming my favorite planeswalker.

Man is Venser
Venser, the Sojourner awesome! Got my hands on a couple and battled with the new deck. Man is he a beat stick...
Is he broken? Not really.
He does have a big impact on the game when he takes the field, as any good planeswalker should do. Like any good planeswalker, if he is allowed to stick around for any length of time he will bend the game to his will and bring misery and suffering to his foes!

Scars updates and other things
Posted by Mr Z on Monday, October 04th 2010 at 14:53
So Scars is here - woot!
I failed to luck out with the cards I received this time and only got one Planeswalker (Venser) in my boxes. That being said, I did manage to get a good number of cards that I wanted, so it is all good.
Scars cards I building around
- Venser, the Sojourner
Venser, the Sojourner - Mimic Vat
Mimic Vat - Engulfing Slagwurm
Engulfing Slagwurm - Strata Scythe
Strata Scythe
Cube Clarification
One question that I have been fielding is why no Jace 2.0, or any standard planeswalkers in the cube. Simple really. The Cube is like the Hall of Fame for planeswlakers. You don't make the Hall of Fame while you are still actively playing. So Planeswalkers are only eligable for induction to the Cube when their block rotates out of standard.
