Title: Theros cards you can build decks around
Post by: Birdbrain on September 18, 2013, 06:41:26 PM
Hey everyone. I'm starting a list of Theros cards that it would be fun to build decks around and a brief description of the decks. Feel free to add anything, or use anything on this list

{messengers speed}- use messengers speed and lots of creatures with saboteur abilities and/or cipher cards

{gift of immortality}- use creatures with ETB effects and death triggers. Sacrificing the creature for card advantage may be an option

{heliod, god of the sun}- two words: pillow fort

{breaching hippocamp}- Kiki jiki combo

{master of waves}- excellent target for {gift of immortality} and a sac outlet

{fanatic of mogios}- seems like you want to throw down lots of stuff like {burning tree emissary} and {Boros reckoner} and then go nuts with this guy

{flame speaker adept}- pretty self explainitory. A red control scry deck, I'm sure he can fit in an aggro deck too

{Titan of eternal fire}- another self explainitory. Boros humans as a finisher

{nemesis of mortals}- golgari for sure. Or a deck that has lots of creatures in the graveyard...oh! {traumatize} yourself! Muahahaha!

{spell heart chimera} and {steam augry}- if you find cards in these colors that care about other spells being in your graveyard, than your in business ...oh! Unearth!

{ashen rider}- another good target for the gift

{Pyxis of pandimoniom}- excellent card with scry control decks

{prophet of krufix}- with strionic resonator, you can use a tap ability an infinite number of times by just paying two mana to activate the resonators ability when it is a creature

I'm throwing the Agent into my pillow fort orzhov lifegain/drain deck! Throw on a {Gift of Orzhova} and {Ethereal Armor} and he'll be wrecking faces!
