Jace's Aether Expanse

Update by Heartoftheland 9 years ago

Description

The 1st of my fifteen 'Planeswalker' themed decks.

Description:
--------------
Jace Beleren. They call him a 'mind skulptor' or a 'memory adept'. But such titles are just used by his rivals as flattery to avoid being a victim of their own knowledge. In reality, Jace is just knows how to 'play' the mind. Like a musician would play his instrument and make people dance to his tune, with little more then tricks of suggestion, Jace can leave many a mind a crumbling ruin.Now, however, he wants to take it to another level. Rooting out the places where his rivals gather their knowledge; The libraries and the land itself. He will build mazes that are both physically and mentally confusing to anyone bold enough to enter the lands within his area of influence.

* 'Hedron Crab' and 'Terramorphic Expanse' make for a quick early game deck burner.
* 'Grim Discovery' will make sure the 'Hedron Crab' and 'Terramorphic Expanse' don't catch dust in the graveyard.
* 'Strip Mine' and 'Tectonic Edge' will give you the 'edge' over your opponents lands. Combine them with 'Grim Discovery' for card advantage.
* 'Extractor Demon' and 'Aether Gale' make for a nasty surprise. Both emptying the battlefield and the library.
* 'Void Stalker' and 'Aether Tradewinds' can both be used to save your own creatures or remove those attacking you.
* 'Bojuka Bog' makes sure the dangers of the past won't stalk you a second, or possibly third, time.
* 'Kathari Remnant' and 'Deny reality' will add the uncertain/fun element of surprise cascade provides.
