Hey there,
I'm not used to T1 that much and would like to ask you people for some pointers. I'd like to build a BRG deck centered around tokens and effects that trigger when a creature hit the graveyard. I think it's almost impossible that such a deck might become competitive in T1, but I don't want to build another variation of what already exists.
First I need an engine: Basicaly cards that generate tokens, sacrifice them to get some benefits, and the "creature from play to graveyard" triggers. To generate tokens I thought of
Saproling Burst,
Bitterblossom,
Nantuko Shrine,
Creakwood Liege and maybe
Necrogenesis. To sacrifice, the devour creatures are an obvious choice, especialy
Tar Fiend but also
Skullmulcher and
Mycoloth. If I need creature removals (at least in sideboard)
Bone splinters seems like the good pick. I'm sure there are some good cards that ask for sacrifices ... Like
Hecatomb maybe? For the triggers:
Hissing Iguanar and maybe even
Deathgreeter, Vicous Shadows seems waaay too slow. What else? Maybe
Pandemonium? Doesn't trigger at the same time but still hurts ... More suited for the sideboard tho, could kill myself casting it depending who am I facing.
Some other cards close to the engine:
Sprouting Thrinax (especialy nice with those Creakwood Liege around),
Garruk Wildspeaker,
Stampede Driver maybe too?
Some disrupt, like
Duress.
Some mana booster like
birds of paradise and the obvious moxes.
The obvious powerful T1 B, R or G cards like
demonic tutor,
sylvan library and
regrowth.
As you probably confirmed now, I'm not used to T1. I know I must have miss powerful cards that could fit the thema. Would like to hear what are the ones you have in mind
EDIT: Bon j'ai posté en anglais
Donc en gros: Je suis nouveau en T1, j'ai bien dans l'optique de construire quelque chose le plus competitif possible mais je n'ai pas envie de simplement varier un peu sur ce qui existe déjà. Tant pis si le deck perd trop de parties pour gagner un tournoi, du moment qu'il n'est pas ridicule.
L'idée c'est un moteur BRG qui tourne autour de la création de tokens, les sacrifices en masse, et les triggers quand les créatures arrivent en jeu ou dans le graveyard. Je ne vais pas relister les cartes, j'éspère que ce ne sera pas trop dur a lire
