Well, as I made my standard MBC, I really wanted to find some way to completey abuse -1/-1 counters. But, with that being said, poison... is a bit of a joke in standard.
So, what ability can LEAVE it's mark (like poison) but swing in for actual damage?
Wither :D
SO, let's say all my opponent's creatures are weakened by -1/-1s, and I drop a massacre wurm; That's really going to hit hard.
And if, again, my opponent's creatures are already weakened, this pushes Drana, Kalastria bloodchief's ability one step up, seeing how I wont need to pay all that much to get a kill in, and pump up Drana.
So, haven't tested this yet, seeing how I'm only a standard player, trying to extend my magic skills, but if I do find a place to play extended (or type 1, same thing) i'll definitely work on putting this deck in action. (:
NOTE: not really familiar with a lot of "staple" extended cards, so please, FILL ME IN!!!!
And also, opinions on bitterblossom in this deck? I really love that card, everything about it is just so... Iunno, I just like it. Faeries in general are sweet, lol.
But still, opinions are WELCOMED :D
