Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Shelob didn't make it in my Hosts of Mordor precon upgrade, but I had a pile of black cards that worked reasonably well with her to make a \"casual\" deck with. \n\nWincon? I had tarantula for a pet once, and yes, it was awesome. Does that count? =D Play repeatable creature-based edict effects to enable Shelob's card draw/pump/theft abilities, slam some fliers or a few of the evasion pieces to help close it out. Outside of that you're in black, have you met Gary, Vito, and Exsanguinate? \n\nThis deck is not fast or particularly strong on the top end so will need some good opening hands to charge out. 1-2 ramp pieces, edict effect, draw spell and 3-4 lands is ideal. (Thran turbine is not early game ramp, it's best when you can take advantage of Shelob's card draw ability). \n\nIf you can, get Rankle out early, you can try keep a lower profile by continuing to draw the table cards and spreading out his damage. Same with your targeted removal. You do not want to be the problem early if possible. (Honestly, you probably won't be problem in most games, but folks do have an irrational hatred of edict's even if we are not running the best in class). \n\nThe deck works reasonably well without Shelob hitting the field early, or in some cases at all. There is no need to cast her on or before curve unless you have recursion online with one or more creatures with edicts on etb, or you have another graveyard/aristocrats deck at the table that you can disrupt/benefit from. You will almost never use the second ability unless there is a good/cheap mana dork/utility creature, it's too much mana most of the time. \n\nFaceless Butcher - Use it as a prison for an unprotected opponent's party piece or use it to blink your own creatures (probably just Gary). \n\nUse Thought Gorger, High Market (preferred) or any other edict effect and any number of your recursion spells for repeated large threat/card draw fun. \n\nArdyn, the Usurper is a beast mid to late game if you have really any creatures with etb's in any graveyards to provide value/beat down assistance. \n\nIf you can, hold on to your Field of Ruin until you have Ob Nixilis, Unshackled in play, it's not a \"may\" ability =) \n\n\n\n"}]}
