Yeah, another Stax.dec - but why Daretti?
I started designing this Deck as an aggressive, graveyard abusing "cheat-a-fattie-into-play". Well, that still might be the case, but under other circumstances. Daretti is extremely powerful as General, and he doesn't die to creature removal, but he has one downside: he is a planeswalker. That means, he can be directly attacked, which means, he won't last long on the board, as soon your enemies recognize how nuts this buddy can go. Therefore -> STAX!

Why Stax?
Stax cards like Smokestack, Winter Orb, Tangle Wire, [...etc...] are MASSIVELY slowing and locking down the board. People need to sacrifice alot of Permanents, can rarely cast cards due to things like Winter Orb or Static Orb and be most likely unable to attack. Since Daretti, Scrap Savant isn't a creature, he will not die to most of the board wipes. That being said, you will be able to create nasty Stax-Locks, slowing down your opponents, making the way free for Daretti doing his insane things and bringing huge buddys like Platinum Emperion or Wurmcoil Engine on the board.

For that to work, the Deck has alot of mana ramp, which will make you cast creatures and other things even if you are completely tapped out on lands. Magus of the Moon damages the enemies Mana base even further, while he is valuable for your own mana base, since he perfectly harmonizes with things like Gauntlet of Might and Gauntlet of Power, making your nonbasic Lands even better.

I play alot of Destruction, to make the Stax cards even more stupid. And even if your Lock-cards are going into the bin - Daretti is there to bring them back in and start the fun all over again! For example - board is not in your favor? Slam a Jokulhaups, that kills everything except your commander, because he is a planeswalker, so he can bring back the mean things - sounds good, right?




-> Cards I want to include:

1 Blood Moon
