Title: Junk Walkers
Post by: Ekann1 on August 12, 2014, 07:51:17 PM
This is a Junk Walkers list I've been messing around with on untap.in. It seems to be running very well. The planeswalkers give me a good late game against control, the high toughness creatures help against agro, and I have removal and {thoughtseize} to disrupt lots of peoples plans. I haven't made a sideboard, but I think it would include stuff like {Ultimate Price} for monoblack and things like Rabble Red, and maybe another {Abrupt Decay} for {Banishing Light} and {Detention Sphere}. I could even add Brimaz to the SB for when the {Supreme Verdicts} come out game 2.

4 {Overgrown Tomb}
4 {Temple of Malady}
4 {Temple Garden}
4 {Temple of Plenty}
2 {Temple of Silence}
2 {Plains}
1 {Swamp}
3 {Forest}
24 Lands

4 {Sylvan Caryatid}
4 {Courser of Kruphix}
3 {Fleecemane Lion}
2 {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}
13 Creatures

4 {Hero's Downfall}
3 {Thoughtseize}
4 {Banishing Light}
3 {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}
2 {Vraska the Unseen}
2 {Ajani, Mentor of Heroes}
3 {Abrupt Decay}
2 {Garruk, Apex Predator}
23 Spells

{Liliana Vess} and {Nissa Worldwaker} are SO powerful, should be considered :)

Those are a little too agro-ish for me. I run the fleecemanes as a bit of a wall vs agro and a must answer threat for control, but besides that I don't try to win early game.

Don't think I have enough forests for nissa, but liliana is a good idea, especially after rotation.

With your shock lands, almost half your lands are forests. That seems like a decent amount to me to justify a nissa. 😋

It's nissas first plus one that makes her so good. Plop her down, swing 4, then swing 8, then swing 12 etc

If {Vraska, the Unseen} then {Rouge's Passage} cause instant win.

but thats already assuming youve ultimated vraska, which doesnt happen very often. normally you just -3 and get rid of their threat.

I usually prefer to play like a control deck and win with elspeth or garruk tokens, but that's also a good option worth testing. thanks.
