Title: yasova dragonclaw ideas?
Post by: Eivory on May 11, 2015, 08:14:03 AM
I was thinking about making a commander with {yasova dragonclaw}. Pretty much i had the idea to buff her, steal big things, and then sac them for my own further benefit like {ooze garden} anybody got any ideas on cards i could use to help this strategy??

{Giant growth} and consorts spring to mind to give an extra buff before combat, or be a nice surprise during combat.
Equipment would be the way to go for more permanent buffs, giving you versatility as well.
You could equip the stolen creature before saccing to make your ooze or whatever extra big.
For sac outlets {fling} is an instant that has potential, or .... Cannon (artifact). (Though I do believe that one costs quite a bit of mana considering you pay 3 for the ability of dragon claw.)
{Frontier Siege},  {Outpost Siege} and to lesser extend  {Monastery Siege} could help too.

Lots and lots of sac and pump. Then put {conjurer's closet} and {bazaar trader} in because they're hilarious with Yasova.  Add a few {act of treason} effects so you can function without Yasova.

Of course. Closet blinks the creature, and the creature that enters stays yours.. Likewise with Trader, it overwrites the control of Yasova when you target yourself.

I was thinking about building this earlier today. {Downsize} seems too good to pass up. Same thing for {Cumberstone} and {Hysterical Blindness}. Or even just {Hydrosurge}

{Strionic Resonator} for doubling up those triggers. Sure it'll cost 5 extra mana but hey.

Free sac outlet is best sac outlet. I only know ones in black though....

{Mind Control} effects?

{Mob Rule} could be epic.

{Tibalt, the Fiend Blooded} okay but still.

{Harness by Force}, {Traitorous Blood} ect

1. NO TIBALT. Tibalt is terribad.

2. Free sac outlets off the top of my head that aren't in black: {diamond valley} {high market} {phyrexian altar} {ashnod's altar}

Though diamond valley costs quite a bit..

{World at War} for multiple thefts per turn

{Aggravated assault} is awesome for combat focused decks.

Nice additions, but they do not do the same thing. Savage + Aggrevated = extra combat phase every time Savage attacks. Bear and Sword make sure you have the mana to continue stealing things.
