    Re: [BBD] Battlebond

    TNN got reprinted:



    This one looks mildly interesting, although not Legacy material:

    Generous Sponsor
    Creature - Elf Advisor
    When Generous Sponsor enters the battlefield, support 2. (Put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two other target creatures.)
    Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature you don't control, draw a card.
    1/4
    Are there any good ways to put counters on opponsing creatures, aside from Tetzimoc, Primal Death?

    Leech Bonder and simillar cards exist, but you're talking really casual stuff now.

    My brother has a Experiment Kraj EDH deck that this will slot into well, but I agree, not Legacy.

    I guess Wizards took it too literally when we assumed they would put another TNN into Battlebond.

    -1/-1 counters are the most prevalent way probably. Serrated Arrows. I don't think that space has been looked at by wotc in some time though.

    The entire Amonkhet block begs to differ.

    I guess it works with stuff like Infect, Wither and, most notably, Soul-Scar Mage - burn creatures and cantrip at the same time? That's pretty good. Slap some Punishing Fires into that and you have a sweet draw engine which happens to be on-color.

    Edit: For what it's worth, the combo would also work with Sponsor + Mage + Words of War to quickly clear the board.

    Not sure if quick Ugin's or Karn's are a viable strategy in Legacy, but here it is.

    Academy Rector but for Planeswalkers? Damn. (Literal reprint but for what it finds)

This will be both an economically feasible AND sensible move.

    I think an Arena Nyx Fit deck will be built.

    I don't know if it will be good. But it will be built.

    Thoughtseize, Explorers, Therapy, Phyrexian Tower to ramp into Cavern of Souls plus 8 Rectors, grab any one of your game ending 8 Mana Walkers or Enchantments. Abrupt Decay to kill Shamans. Pernicious Deed to conveniently wipe the field of everything but your Walkers.

    I think at this rate the deck is forced to add Blue for Brainstorm to shuffle away excess Game Enders.

    But, the promise of shoving out a fast Ugin, Garruk Predator, Karn, Bolas...deliciously Tier 2.

    Arena Rector
    Academy Rector
    Gamekeeper

    Enough fuel to always draw one of them and combo off

    EDIT: This doesn't work...

    Why would you want to rely on your opponent having creatures when you can play Devoted Druid, Arcbound Ravager or Mindless Automaton?

    Edit: There's a bad combo with Lotleth Troll and dredgers.

    Because the card says "Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature you don't control, draw a card."
    If it was any creature then that's easy mode

    Looks like a sideboard card of Spanish Inquisition against any running Bolt.

    I was thinking something esperish . . .

    4 Ancient Tomb
    2 City of Traitors
    4 Cavern of Souls
    [8] Lands
    [6] Acceleration

    3 Academy Rector
    3 Arena Rector

    2 Omniscience
    2 Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
    1 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

    4 Cabal Therapy
    3 [Other Sac Outlet]

    4 Brainstorm
    4 Force of Will
    4 Ponder
    [2] Blue

    4 Swords to Plowshares

    Re: [BBD] Battlebond

    I mentioned it in the Nic Fit thread, but something with a blend of Rectors and Eureka would let the deck always have ways to churn out the ridiculous bombs. Eureka letting you get around Shaman.

    Phyrexian Tower would be your other sac outlet, or go full Reserved List with Diamond Valleys too.

    I think i'm too addicted to FOW to think of making the deck anything other than Esper :/ - that said I think best bet is to treat it like this:

    1st turn - Land + Cabal Therapy (or other 1CMC sac outlet that is not a land . . Viscera Seer?)
    2nd turn - Sol Land + Accel + Rector --> Sacrifice (get Big PW or get Omniscience, then hopefully have big PW/draw other rector/sacrifice in your hand already?)

    Thinking like that we need around 9 lands/8 Sac outlets/8 Sol land /8 Accel/8 Rector/8 Big PWs

    If we slow down a turn, then something like my first list make a bit more sense with more protection/draw. It could still maybe use more PWs (I was aiming for blue PW's to count for FOW pitch).

    The problem with Arena Rector in Legacy is that jumping through the hoops you've laid out to get [Name A Planeswalker] into play is still worse than having Griselbrand on the battlefield.
