Chord of Infinite BEES!

by FaQfUce on 27 November 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Its the infinite hornet combo the same one you saw around about a year ago... only Chord of Calling is there to break it out faster and Raise the Alarm is there for convoke fodder and to give you an extra turn or two.

How to Play

Midnight Guard* + Setessan Tactics fights Hornets Nest* + Ephemeral Shield.
* you can substitute Ephemeral Shield with Ajani's Presence. However, if you do you have to strive it over both Midnight Guard and Hornets Nest.
Midnight Guard untaps as it creates tokens by dealing damage to Hornets Nest.

Deck discussion for Chord of Infinite BEES!

You're in for the long haul with this design, sir. I think you should trim to a 15 card core and rebuild. You curve is all over and the card order is all crazy. I like the idea, but this one needs a redraft :(

Maybe start with:
x4 Elvish Mystic
x4 Raise the Alarm
x4 Hornet Nest
x3 Chord of Calling
and decide what you would add if you were unable to choose anything else from the above. See what happens.

the loop for the inf hornets requires Midnight Guard, Setessan Tactics, and Ajani's Presence (which i substituted for Ephemeral Shields cuz i had them and its cheaper manna wise). and the plan was NOT to cast anything with a manna cost greater than 4 while still having the option (with convoke) if necessary.

-------------------------------------
I simply missed Ephemeral Shields at the glance before, but you should go Ajani's.

ajanis only works if you strive it on both nest and guard while i only need to shield nest it was a judgement call based solely on manna. but i will have to reconsider it. do you think the deck will last long enough to set that shenanigens off though? i would need to have everything out and 6 manna to cast into that combo...

If you get Elvish Mystic, it's really not bad.
If you go Ephemeral Shields, it is faster, but I think you should go all in combo in that case. I suppose your next step is if you want to all in combo, or have some aggro/combo hybrid. I wouldn't have more than 1 Chord if you go all in.
The plus of not all in is space for casting Chord to get a nest to block with, playing Raise the alarm, and being able to play ajani's to negate swings and spot removal. I'd think on it.

I like it. I don't think you need Fleecemane Lion or Spirits, though. I'm not sure what you would do with those 6 slots atm.

I left Ephemeral Shields in there because indestructible why not?
Do you like the Triplicate Spirits token idea? Buy more time, or fodder for Chord of Calling.
My only ideas were Fleecemane Lion, Spear of Heliod, Paragon of Eternal Wilds, Dictate of Heliod, Elspeth, or Ajani (Mentor of Heroes). so i figured Fleecemane would be the most practical being the only creature and all.
Perhaps creatures that enter with tokens? idk its a weird hole to fill.

I dont think Sandsteppe Citadel is your best bet for that void.
Perhaps drop Triplicate Spirits for another cheap creature?

I replaced it to see how cheap i could make it and forgot to change it back.
But what though? Soldier of the Pantheon, Soulmender, Sunblade Elf , Golden Hind, Nyxfleece Ram, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Voyaging Satyr? Nothing really stands out I think that is why I had Fleecemane Lion in there...
