This is a remake of a deck I constructed two years ago when playing zenrabbit daily. It uses mostly Odyssey cards, though this is now a Type I deck.

Blotch & Blemish

2 Beloved Chaplain
1 Venerable Monk
1 Spectral Lynx
1 Archangel
1 Radiant, Archangel
1 Silver Seraph
1 Valor
1 Glory
1 Seraph
1 Reya Dawnbringer
1 Wayward Angel
1 Angel of Retribution
1 Kismet

4 Buried Alive
4 Zombify
3 Stitch Together
3 Hymn to Tourach
2 Wicked Reward
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Strongarm Tactics
1 Soulshriek
1 Entomb
1 Ashen Powder
1 Twilight's Call
1 Ravenous Rats
1 Spirit of the Night
1 Visara the Dreadful
1 Stalking Bloodsucker
1 Repentant Vampire

1 Lifeline

13 Swamp
4 Plains
4 Tainted Field
1 Drifting Meadow


The deck puts creatures in the graveyard, then summons them out. Reya Dawnbringer is the best method of doing that. (Putting creatures in the graveyard is a quick and fun way to reach threshold, too, which makes the Stitch Togethers that much more useful.)

The deck previously suffered because it was too involved with itself and not much with other people. So I inserted some Hymn to Tourachs to balance things out (nothing like hand disruption to piss people off). Strongarm Tactics also makes people discard, and Ashen Powder is there to take the remains.

Wicked Reward is there just for surprise value.

I sure like having angels in my graveyard. I suppose most black mages would say that's where they belong.

Isn't that the deck I just beat on a couple of days ago? It looks familiar.

By the way, maybe next week sometime we should do a deckmaking night. I'm thinking Wednesday-ish, but can't say for sure because I also have two gaming nights and that may be overdosing on geekness.

I think it fares much better in 2-player games than 4-player.

Next Wednesday sounds good to me. I'll have to get to a gaming store and buy more boxes for all the cards I have. (They happen to be taking up nearly all the space in my bedroom, as I'm in the middle of a huge organization effort.)
