The new 'Standard' in MTGO
I am currently experimenting with a card I like, Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker.
Shirei make me giddy with excitement over the possibilities. Any creature with a power of 1 or less can die and come back each turn. So all I need is a bunch of 1 power creatures that do something either when they leave play or when they come back and some method of killing them every turn. Here is my first pass:
'Meek Shall Survive'
Standard
Creatures
4x Bottle Gnomes
4x Phyrexian Plaguelord
4x Ashen-Skin Zubera
4x Dripping-Tongue Zubera
4x Sakura-Tribe Elder
4x Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker
24 creatures
Other Spells
4x Diabolic Tutor
4x Lightning Greaves
3x Spawning Pit
3x Grave Pact
14 other spells
Land
11x Forest
11x Swamp
Once the pieces are in play, this deck is brutal. The Zubera are awesome, creating waves of creatures and making sure that your opponent never gets another card. The Grave Pact and Plague Lord make sure that any creatures that your opponent plays never last longer than a turn. The Tribe Elders give you land every turn. Bottle Gnomes are constant healing. And Shirei makes it all possible. The only real problem with this deck is that the combo is fragile, and it is slow to finish your opponent off. You can get a lock by Turn 6, but one Shock can ruin your day.
