Title: Exalted synergy
Post by: Fenster on August 17, 2012, 12:17:13 PM
I was playing my b/w exalted deck against some friends when i had a brainqueef and added {Divine verdict} too my deck. It worked miracles! They never blocked with more than one because the'yd basicly waste alot of P/T on a creature who at heart is just 2/2 under all that exalted.
Anyways i was thinking i should make a g/w exalted featuring this and {rancor}
Oh my 10/8 with trample suddenly became unblocked? Tough luck.

{Divine Verdict} is a great combat trick, but expensive. If you're willing to leave standard, I miss {Smite}. Works great on defense for that kind of deck.

So creatures that are blocking are considered "blocked" even though they're not the attacking creature?

{Righteous Blow} is nice too.
Have that for early to mid game. And {Devine Verdict} for their big creatures.

Also, could you play {Righteous Blow} before exalted resolves?

I know exalted used the stack.
I know they each trigger separetly.
So one would think you could response to them.

Awesome. {Righteous Blow would be good in any {W} deck, situationally. Maybe sideboard.

Hmmm... I may import some of these into my Exalted Infect deck.  {Rancor} is a nice touch.

All I have to say is {essence harvest} during second main phase after you attack with exalted creature!  Bam in yo face. I may have seen that combo on here but not sure. I was going through my cards the other night and stumbled upon this combo. It can end a game pretty quick or it can save your behind.

I used {Soul's Might} in my old Bant exalted deck for 2nd main phase craziness. {Stoic Angel} was fun to make suddenly massive, or {Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer} for laughs.
