神河当時 - 反転ターボランドデッキ

昨日の記事の続きです。

Flip-Flop
I lub land. This is a good time to be a landlubber, because there are a ton of cards in the Standard card pool that can slurp the lands out of your deck. It was back when Journeyer’s Kite had an activation cost of {3} and Kodama’s Reach cost {2}{G} for a slightly different effect that I built a Door to Nothingness deck that won some games in the Future Future League. Budoka Gardener was a big part of that deck. Although the number and power level of the landifying effects has been reduced since then, there are still a ton of them about. How many are there? This next deck doesn’t have Rampant Growth, Wood Elves, Solemn Simulacrum, Sylvan Scrying, Reap and Sow, or the Kite, so it’s only got 16 ways to fetch lands from my library. Oh well.

Building a Budoka Gardener deck isn’t enough for me. I want a Budoka Gardener-Orochi Eggwatcher deck. I want to parlay my huge tracts of land into huge stampedes of creatures. Meloku the Clouded Mirror is one good way to do it. If you’ve got a Gardener out, you can get those bounced lands back into play at a reasonable clip. With Azusa, Lost but Seeking (thanks, Matthew Smith), you can crank out the critters without falling behind in your land count at all. Other land-to-creature transformers include Beacon of Creation, Orochi Hatchery, Rude Awakening, and Pentavus (just because it’s expensive).

Once you have a billion lands and a million token creatures, Dokai, Weaver of Life will bring forth the fatties and Shidako, Broodmistress will turn your 1/1 weenies into delicious, delicious food. If you haven’t already won. You do have a million token creatures, after all.

Creature (15)
1 Azusa, Lost but Seeking
4 Budoka Gardener
2 Meloku the Clouded Mirror
3 Orochi Eggwatcher
1 Pentavus
4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
Sorcery (10)
1 Beacon of Creation
4 Journey of Discovery
4 Kodama’s Reach
1 Rude Awakening
Instant (2)
2 Strength of Cedars
Artifact (9)
1 Orochi Hatchery
4 Sensei’s Divining Top
4 Wayfarer’s Bauble
Land (24)
2 Island
20 Forest
1 Minamo, School at Water’s Edge
1 Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
60 Cards

As you filter the lands out of your deck, you should get better quality draws. But just to make sure, the deck includes Sensei’s Divining Top. You can repeatedly use it to rearrange the top three cards of your library, and if you don’t like anything you see, you can use one of the deck’s seventeen methods of shuffling your library to see three entirely different cards.

反転カード《武道家の庭師》を主軸にしたターボランド（※１）デッキが紹介されています。

それ以外にも、《桜族の長老》《迷える探求者、梓》《木霊の手の内》など、有名なカードが多く採用されています。

それらで土地を伸ばしたら、反転後である《生命の織り手、土塊》や、《曇り鏡のメロク》などがフィニッシャーです。

こうしてみると、『神河物語』だけでも有力な土地カードが多いことに改めて気づきます。

※１
今だと、ランプという方が一般的だと思います。ここでは、あえて当時の言い方にしました。
