He's SO good with Vish Kal. Play it, target each creature with Vish Kals ability without padding priority, then sacrifice it to Vish Kal. You're never at risk of your own stuff getting targeted, and you pretty much get a very aggressively costed plague wind.Andrew Manthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693528544695637469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461869454202308168.post-13320165850185494152012-03-29T14:17:14.365-07:002012-03-29T14:17:14.365-07:00Thanks for the comments and ideas, David.
I'...Thanks for the comments and ideas, David. <br /><br />I'm trying to avoid any infinite combos, and so Mikaeus is off limits because he would enable multiple ways to go infinite. <br /><br />That combination of Mirran Crusader, Bloodcheif Ascension and SoBM is pretty hilarious. I'll consider that for future revisions to the deck. Right now I only have one copy of SoBM, and it's in my Wrexial deck, which is definitely the deck that needs it most.<br /><br />Blade of the Bloodchief, on the other hand is very interesting, and one I'd kinda overlooked. I don't know what I'd cut, just yet, but I'm definitely going to try and squeeze it in. It definitely pushes Vish Kal over the top, without going infinite. Thanks for the tip!Thaumaturgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734372825472901455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461869454202308168.post-37546964762818626212012-03-29T03:42:07.386-07:002012-03-29T03:42:07.386-07:00What a cool way to build a Vish Kal deck.

I'm using her in my deck with Conspiracy which equals infinite tokens (granted not all at the same time) to make Vish as big as I want. With Falkenrath out you'll just win with Vish or another sac outlet. <br /><br />How about some bloodchief cards. Starting with Blade of the Bloodchief which you have several vampires to hold. Then consider Bloodchief Ascension as it has a nice life loss/life gain theme to it. If you have this equipment out with one of the swords you're missing, Sword of Body and Mind, you'll deal 2 points of damage for each card they mill from the sword. Put that sword on Mirran Crusader and you kill somebody. 40 points of damage in one double-striking attack. <br /><br />I'm guessing it's not for your deck, as mine is more sacrifice/ETB focused, but I have both Mikaeuses in mine, which makes for another nice Black versus White. <br /><br />Interested to hear how your deck performs, please post updates!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14588110350424110444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461869454202308168.post-8740002733354741422012-03-28T12:27:34.145-07:002012-03-28T12:27:34.145-07:00Sweet, thanks!

I think all of those suggestions are worth considering.<br /><br />Delver is probably a bit too redundant, as he's yet another reanimator, when I already have enough of those. He does nicely mirror Karmic Guide, but that's kinda what Puppeteer Clique is for...<br /><br />Pharaoh, Chancellor and Spirit of the Night are all very solid choices... will play a few games first, then decide. I'm leaning toward Pharaoh because he's cheaper, and the demise of my Mimeoplasm deck means he's without a home ATM. He's just too cool of a card to let him gather dust in a binder!Thaumaturgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734372825472901455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461869454202308168.post-3249920217133257812012-03-27T06:48:03.875-07:002012-03-27T06:48:03.875-07:00Hey Thaum, this is an interesting way to build a d...Hey Thaum, this is an interesting way to build a deck, very thematic yet maintains a decent level of power.<br /><br />As for black creatures to replace sheoldred. I could suggest a few<br /><br />1.) Spirit of the Night mirrors Akroma and would definitely add to your deck's flavor of yin/yang while still being fairly powerful.<br /><br />2.) Phyrexian Delver would mirror Karmic guide and, again, add to your yin/yang flavor of the deck. However, you might not like the life loss that comes with it. Though I figured with all the life you'll be gaining maybe a little life loss couldn't hurt. :)<br /><br />3.) Vengeful Pharaoh has deathtouch for flavor, though, I notice you don't have many cards along the lines of pitching things into your yard so maybe not so much.<br /><br />4.) Chancellor of the Dross has lifelink, evasion and a neat ability to give you some padding at the start of the game. And he's also a vampire so bonus points for having the same creature type as your general. Vish Kal's loyal Chancellor, making sure thing run smoothly while Vish calls the shots behind the scenes. :P<br /><br />Anyway, those are my suggestions for now. I'll list some more if I get anymore good ideas.<br /><br />Nice fanfic by the way xDJamminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887382098534348982noreply@blogger.com
