Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"\t\tSkeleton Ship was printed in 1994, long before proliferate, counter engines, and most of the support cards that make this strategy possible today. Rather than building around infect or poison, I wanted to see what would happen if a forgotten one-counter ability was given access to thirty years of new technology.\n\t\tThe deck is built around turning Skeleton Ship into a repeatable counter engine. Thousand-Year Elixir, Magewright's Stone, Patriar's Seal, Sting, the Glinting Dagger, Freed from the Real, Pemmin's Aura, and other untap effects allow the Ship to keep placing -1/-1 counters, while Marvin, Murderous Mimic and Spark Double create additional copies of that ability. Once creatures have been marked, proliferate effects from Inexorable Tide, Tekuthal, Thrummingbird, Flux Channeler, Viral Drake, Contagion Engine, Karn's Bastion, and Yawgmoth rapidly spread those counters across the battlefield.\n\t\tThe result is a deck that feels like a modernization project for one of Magic's oldest commanders. Skeleton Ship's original job remains the same: place the first counter. The rest of the deck is dedicated to making that single counter matter far more than it ever could have in 1994.\n"}]}
