For those of you looking for some ideas on how to abuse some of the new mechanics (surviel and jumpstart in this case) and some of the powerful new cards (Underrealm Lich, Blood Operative, Bacon Bolt and Glimpse).
As always, would love to hear feedback and ideas you have for other decks! You should also check out my Firemane deck from last week! It has a surprise opening sequence
Well, Beacon Bolt has been one of my favorites when it comes to piling up cards in the graveyard. With enough Surveils and Glowspore Shaman, there’s one time my Beacon Bolt deals like 29 damage XD
And sorry for double posting, but I forgot to mention something:
Didn’t take screenshot, but I can assure you this is real: After Glowsporing and Surveiling too many times, eventually the next Surveil I do shows less than 4 cards, like what happened with Forerunner/Conquistador nerfs that happened the last time. Of course, I am thankful that my library doesn’t actually run out of cards in this situation (I hate the Conquistador “bug”), but it’s still pretty funny to watch.
I think this occurs when you get to the theoretical bottom of the deck. Basically your deck is made up of 4 copies each of your 10 cards. When you get down to card 38 and play surviel it will only show 2 cards. Once your last card is drawn they are all “shuffled back up” and your keep playing from the top.
At least that was a theory. However, if you play 2 copies of HuF (via goggles for example) with only 1 spell in your deck, it will definitely tutor up 6 copies. So clearly there are inconsistencies.
Did you watch the video? I was cracking Bacon Bolts for 90+ damage at the end of the fight! Honestly, the 3 most important pieces are Bacon Bolt, Lich, and BSZ By far the most effective way of filling up your GY that I have found.
