Well… That’s another BG deck for me, as you know I love those colors. But today, it’s a special deck! We’re trying to verify if Fanfan’s statement was true! In the Primordial Website, he stated: “In short, Primordial is a format where: […] –Korozda Monitor is a serious option.“
So today, we’re taking our bags and planeswalking to the world of Ravnica, and try to build with this Korozda Monitor thing.
The goal of the deck is to play small creature early in the game and then to grow them into more dangerous threats. For this, you got a playset of Daggerdrome Imp which is one of our best creatures because of the flying ability, alongside with lifelink. It’s one of our best target to scavenge, but you also got one powerful rare,
Lotleth Troll, a trampling, self-protecting creature who can also grow himself while filling our graveyard with scavenging creatures. You can then use scavenge ability of many creature like the Monitor,
Slitherhead or
Sluiceway Scorpion to grow more your creatures. You can also use
Dreg Mangler to play a more aggressive way or scavenge on
Sewer Shambler if your opponent plays swamps. Your biggest creature in the deck is
Deadbridge Goliath, a vanilla 5/5 for four mana with scavenge, and it makes a big threat in every way.
You play only three instants, two Ultimate Price to use as removal and a
Golgari Charm wich is a powerful, multi-fonction instant that can be used against aggro, or to save your board against a boardwipe.
About the side, you got a bunch of removal, like Stab Wound, the powerful
Abrupt Decay, another
Golgari Charm and two
Launch Party to fill your graveyard more and more. You also have two copies of
Cremate, to cancel graveyard shenanigans of your opponents.
