Here we would be looking at cards like this:Īnd either one of those is enough for a whole deck, but today I'll go with the second one.Īfter creatures who actively want damage, we should flesh out our deck with creatures who can at least tolerate the damage. Target your own guys, who appreciate the damage, and draw a bunch of cards. Combine it with Kederekt Parasite, Chains of Mephistopheles, Psychic Possession, whatever.Ģ. Kill opponent's stuff & punish them for drawing. This card is highly cool for some obvious reasons. Nothing about this article's title, summary, or introduction indicated that other decks were coming, but it would have been pretty short if I ended it here, wouldn't it? So here's something different for ya. Paradigm Shift! Buy yours now before it skyrockets in price. (Sung to the tune of Alice Cooper's "Feed My Frankenstein") Creatures It's card disadvantage, yes-but this is made up for by hand quality, enabling Delve, and the card advantage a Paradigm Shift gives us (probably shortly afterward). Its choices are mostly covered above, excepting Tolarian Winds, which would fit under the first half of Tactic 2. I don't purport to have any knowledge about or experience with tournament formats, and certainly I would not call this deck viable for one, but here is my tinkering with the above ideas for the casual room.
#PARADIGM SHIFT MTG TORRENT#
Perhaps soon Wizards will make something similar for our own exile zone! Or, they already expand Misthollow Griffin into Torrent Elemental-perhaps there is a third of those coming. The latter is a trick sometimes used by Doomsday decks themselves.īattle for Zendikar gave us a whole mechanic around taking cards out of our opponent's exile.
Or with an empty graveyard, we can cast Paradigm Shift into Laboratory Maniac. Paradigm Shift can keep us alive after a Leveler. (Exiling our library is still stronger, but this gives us something to do while we set up.) We can use the cards in Tactic 2 to mill a Griffin in our yard, Delve him out of it, and then cast it without even exiling our library. Note that the above not only synergize with Paradigm Shift, they synergize with each other. That means it won't trigger your Narcomoebas or set up your flashbacks, and in fact there didn't used to have any practical applications at all for exiling your own cards, but it now essentially "draws" all of your Misthollow Griffins and Torrent Elementals! This is one area in which Paradigm Shift differs from Morality Shift: it exiles your library. At the very least, you can set yourself up to go the rest of the game without drawing lands. Taking cards out of your graveyard is easy too, with Scavenging Ooze, Scrabbling Claws, and especially the Delve mechanic. Or perhaps they meant it as a Faux Feldon's Cane? But that's unlikely, since back in 1997 we had the real Feldon's Cane, reprinted a year earlier in Chronicles, AT COMMON, for a single mana and available in every color.Īdding cards to our graveyard is easy, with Mental Note, Glimpse the Unthinkable, Entomb, and such. This is probably the closest to the card's original intent. You can't get a turn-three (or earlier) insta-win with it, but you can at least set yourself up for some higher quality draws for the rest of the game. Especially since Doomsday decks are usually 4 to 5 colors. Two mana isn't that much cheaper than three mana. Paradigm Shift requires more setup, but with a little graveyard manipulation, it can produce similar results. Will it one day be playable outside of the casual room?ĭoomsday has proven itself to be tournament caliber. By now it's even playable-in the casual room. Especially since it keeps getting more and more combos over the years. And yet I think there's a lot we can do with it. I have never even seen somebody own one (other than myself).
To date, I have never seen a single person play with it. you don't have to pay 7, because it was printed back in 1997 for only 2:
An abusable effect, but its 7-mana price tag is a bit prohibitive. Only.
