Title: Blood artist
Post by: Silent_one on May 02, 2012, 03:52:27 PM
Is it posable to make a aggro deck with {blood artist} like make a ton of human tokens then sack all at one time with {zombie apocalypse} or would the deck be to slow?

Cards like {thatcher revolt} would be good with the artist since the tokens get sac'd at end of turn

I was thinking of a fast way to make tokens then sac them for damage

You could {undead alchemist} and use {jace, memory adept}, or {increasing confusion}....it's costly though. But so is {Zombie Apocalypse}

It's too slow for my tastes, although someone smarter then me could still break it. He's kinda helpless at 0/1...

You could do the whole {myr retriever} combo, it's not standard though. Two retrievers and a {karrk clan ironworks} get creatures out of your library in all sorts of ways, then start the engine. That's all I got

Mimic vat exiles so I don't think that works unless it's imprinting something that can be sacked

I see, so you are the one who was looking for the blood painter deck. I posted a combo deck in standard if you want to check it out (Under RB Blood Painter). Dont expect it to win FNM and top 8 PTQ's or anything, but it will catch people off guard. Its also really cheap to buid. It should be fun to play at least.

I would use Eldrazi Spawn for sac fodder but I'm not thinking standard so I'm not sure how much that helps you.
