Was I supposed to make a Galepowder deck? oops...





















3 x Knight-Captain Eos - 4w
4 x Galepowder Mage - 3w
2 x Meadowboon - 2ww
3 x Elspeth, Knight-Errant - 2ww
4 x Mirrorweave - 2ww/uu

2x Spectral Procession - www/222
3 x Field Marshall -1ww
4 x Gwyllion Hedge Mage - 2w/b
4 x Wisen Cenn - ww
3 x BitterBlossom -1b
4 x Soul Warden - w


24 Lands - 10 Swamp - 14 Plains

Ok so once I got to really digging at what Galepowder can do, it's a good deal tougher than I thought, cause I kept coming back to half the decks we've built on here and finding so many holes in trying to use creature dependant syngery - so I sort of didn't. This is more Mirrorweave, with Galepowder support?

Concept early game, soul warden into token producer blossom or Hedge Mage - get the creature count up and drop mirrorweave.

If you make it to mid-game, get gale in play use him couple times if the sky is clear removing one of the creature producers like Hedge Mage, OR if you have a decent number of tokens in play say 7 and a mirrorweave in hand you copy your Galepowder to swing basically unblocked in for the instant kill if they are at 20.

Late game you should have the knight in play, with a Powder mage, you attack remove your knight and get tokens to sacrifice to prevent you taking damage - looking to token produce until you find another mirrorweave (likely by now you also have ELspeth in play and are just popping out life and tokens like there's no tomorrow, right into the indestructible mode)

Other in deck mirrorweave combos, field marshall, wisen cenn, galepowder, soul warden.

Again no idea what to do with the sideboard cause my confidence level in the deck really isn't there to care to build one.

I bow to each of your Magicy goodness and will now look at Sean's one up Plainswalker challenge.

Didn't mean to one up your challenge. I was just curious what that deck might look like, and I figured you guys might have something to say about it. I'd love to see your decklist though.

no worries, I'm just giving u a hard time; not like there is some magical limit to the interesting card combo questions out there.

I kinda like tokens and galepowder mage and mirrorweave. Could I recommend spectral procession?

Shirolotus said...

oh I put 2 in the final draft, though didn't want more because it produces spirits instead of kithkin or soldiers. (prefer soldiers because of the late game sacrifice prevent ability.)

Oh, somehow I didn't see them. I guess I'm blind.
In my opinion, spectral procession is one of the strongest white cards (after wrath of god) in the standard meta--especially if you are mono white or otherwise able to consistently get a turn three play. Regardless of what your deck is doing, when your opponent see's three fliers ready to beat their face every turn they are going to turn their attention on that problem.
