Elspeth's Forlorn Ruins

Created by Heartoftheland 9 years ago

Description

The 6th of my fifteen 'Planeswalker' themed decks.

Description:
------------
After seeing her home world being invaded by the phyrexians when she was young, Elspeth swore to protect and fortify any entity that suffered the acts of an oppressor. Due to this noble cause not only animals and plants are willing to assist her, but even the land itself is to her disposal. While her realms grow vast and wide so does her influence and power. Her adversaries will eventually have no more ground to stand on and will thus be forced back to their plane of origin.

* Use 'Ruin Ghost's' ability for Multiple Landfall triggers each turn.
* Use 'Ruin Ghost's' ability on Sejiri Steppes to grand protection to any creature while triggering more landfall effects.
* Use 'Knight of the Reliquary' to grow stronger and trigger more landfall effects by searching for new lands. Keep track of the amount of lands in the graveyard.
* Edge of 'Autumn' and 'Harrow' can both be used to enlarge your mana pool and strengthen your 'Knight of the Reliquary'.

Optional Strategies:

Option 1: 'Steppe' Up For an Adventure.
----------------------------------------------
Steppe Lynx and Adventuring gear can really pick up the deck's pace. Sacrificing the heavy 'winged cavalry' for some early pressure can push the balance in your favor quickly. Nurture your Lynx well, and he might just grow into a feline monster.

Add:
+ 4x Steppe Lynx
+ 4x Adventuring Gear
+ 1x Knight of the Reliquary

Remove:
- 1x Grazing Gladehart
- 3x Emeria Angel
- 2x Admonition Angel
- 2x Marial Coup
- 1x Edge of Autumn

Option 2: Diamonds Aren't Forever.
-----------------------------------------
A well placed 'Oblation' in response to removal or combat tricks can lead to card advantage or it can make sure a key card disappears from your opponents battlefield.

Add:
+ 3x Oblation

Remove:
- 1x Mox Diamond
- 2x Seer's Sundial

Option 3: Coup de 'Realms'.
--------------------------------
While one or two landfall effects per turn is fun and all, 'Boundless Realms' can broaden your horizons in one devastating 'blow'. If that wasn't enough, free these new lands with martial conviction.

Add:
+ 1x Martial Coup
+ 2x Boundless Realms

Remove:
- 1x Brave the Elements
- 1x Edge of Autumn
- 1x Emeria Angel
