Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"the below is an incomplete work in progress"},{"insert":"\n\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"MANA RAMP"},{"insert":"\n\nNote on Earthcraft. Synergises well when a Land Aura is attached to a basic land. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"WIN CONDITIONS"},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"1. Shrines + ??? = Profit!"},{"insert":"\n\nThis is probably what most people starting a Shrines deck are thinking. Accumulate Shrines, and their effects accumulate. The red and black Shrines are generally burners and drainers, and once you have accumulated enough Shrine density they do a fair amount of damage to life totals. This is not the fastest win-con. We are usually waiting a full turn-cycle to have effect, and likely not finishing off all opponents in a single turn. But we are a pillow-fort deck, the idea is we become unassailable and then win via attrition.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Sanctum of Stone Fangs"},{"insert":" and "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Northern Air Temple "},{"insert":"are the best, being cheap to cast; hit all opponents; and also have lifegain. The former is slower but more impactful over time, the later has immediate effect, but less impactful over time. Sanctum of Stone Fangs should be played as soon as you have a protected board-state, whereas Northern Air Temple should be played as a finisher, later game when opponents life-totals are low enough to end the game. "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Hondon of Infinite Rage "},{"insert":"is similar, but only hits a single player (the being it also functions as creatureremoval). It shokld be played early, used as creature removal, and then pivot into player removal once life-totals are low enough.\n\nIt is noted that "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Sanctum of All "},{"insert":"will speed this up significantly, by both doubling the drain/burn triggers; and also the ability to tutor all the above Shrines.\n\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"2. Combat Damage"},{"insert":"\n\nCombat damage is a tried and tested win, condition, and especially effective in a deck that does not appear to have any real combat capabilities on face-value. "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Ancestral Mask"},{"insert":", "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Ethereal Armor"},{"insert":", "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"All That Glitters"},{"insert":", etc. can be applied to any small creature we have, and then slap in for damage. With the large number of enchantments we have (don't forget all the "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Shrine Tokens"},{"insert":" also count!), it is easy to get +20/+20 from a single effect.\n\nIt is often good to use an enchantment creature to carry these auras, as many of the blanket protections in this deck protect enchantments, such as "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Sterling Grove"},{"insert":" or "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Privileged Position"},{"insert":". Creatures with lifelink are also good, as even a blocked attack will boost your own life-total significantly. The best creatures for this play-line are (in order of preference):\n\n• "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Katilda, Dawnheart Martyr, "},{"insert":"which has flying and lifelink, and the back-side of which is a recurable Aura with the same statistics.\n• "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Jukai Naturalist"},{"insert":", which is an enchantment and has lifelink.\n• "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Go-Shintai of Boundless Vigor"},{"insert":", which is an enchantment, has trample, and also generates it's own additional +/+1 counters.\n• "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Go-Shintai of Lost Wisdom"},{"insert":", which is an enchantment and has flying.\n• "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Go-Shintai of Shared Purpose"},{"insert":", which is an enchantment and has vigilance.\n\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"3. Recursion of Big Prison Threats"},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Go-Shintai of Life's Origin"},{"insert":" second ability seems to be often overlooked. For WUBRG we can recur any enchantment from the graveyard directly into play. This is nice protection for any of our enchantments, but can also be abused to cheat high-mana enchantments directly into play.\n\nThe challenge then becomes getting the best enchantments into our graveyard. We could add any number of self-mill effects, however this will usually dilute the core strategy. Graveyard tutors are highly recommended if we wanted to increase the power of the deck, and for a while the deck included cards like "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Entomb"},{"insert":" and "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Unmarked Grave"},{"insert":", however it became the focus of my game-plan and I cut them in favour of a more variable game experience. Ultimately, I don't believe any of this is needed. Enchantress decks can draw a disgusting amount of cards (see above). I found myself drawing 10+ cards per turn, and then discarding fist-fulls of cards at the end of each turn. This is sufficient to find and discard the desired enchantments for recursion.\n\nMy preferred enchantments for this action are "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Decree of Silence "},{"insert":"and "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Overwhelming Splendour"},{"insert":". They synergise with the pillow-fort / prison strategy, and are highly-impactful. But mix-and-match any other enchantments to your own flavour.\n\nThis play-line is very difficult for opponents to manage, as:\n\n• this is not a 'cast' effect, the enchantment is just put into play, so this effect cannot be countered by the usual counter-spells.\n• these enchantments can be recured multiple times, making it difficult for our opponents to permanently remove our high-threat enchantments. This also works will with "},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Decree of Silence"},{"insert":", which will be sacrificed to its own effect, but can then be recured again... and again...\n\n\n"}]}
