On the Flip Side
Akki Lavarunner? Initiate of Blood? Now we’re on the right track again. The Lavarunner wants to deal damage to an opponent. It has haste, so it’s trying to fool you into playing it and immediately attacking with it. No, Lavarunner, no! It’s too dangerous! Well, what do you expect from a Goblin that runs on lava? Sure, you can send it out to play in the street if the way is clear, but like Bushi Tenderfoot, it doesn’t say combat damage. Give it Arcane Teachings or Viridian Longbow and it’s just as happy. Tok-Tok, Volcano Born isn’t nuts or anything, but adding 1 extra damage to a bunch of little effects aimed at your opponent’s head (Tok-Tok’s pinging, Honden of Infinite Rage, Spikeshot Goblin, Glacial Ray, Lava Spike, Kumano, etc.) can pay dividends.

Similar to Akki Lavarunner, Initiate of Blood also costs 4 mana. It also flips based on damage. And it is also helped by pingers and other red damage sources. Like Bushi Tenderfoot, it only has to kill a creature (not necessarily one of your opponent’s), so it’s quite happy to zotz your Initiate of Blood #2 if no suitable enemy creature can be found. Goka the Unjust can clear out just about any obstacle when supported by an Arcane Teachinged Akki Lavarunner or a Viridian Longbowed Wall of Stone. (And before you complain again about the extinction of Walls in Magic, think about the concept of a Wall of Stone being equipped with a longbow for a second. Huh? HUH??? Does “Creature – Wall” actually make any kind of sense? Take another look at Sunscape Familiar—the pile of bricks and mortar that somehow serves as the familiar of a guild—and tell me how flavorful that thing is.)

Because it likes all the same things as the red flippers, Bushi Tenderfoot squeaks into this deck too. Note that each of these three flippers survives Flamebreak when in its legendary form, so in Flamebreak goes. The Walls are early defense and late double-pinging action if Tok-Tok has anything to say about it. Kumano makes it in there because it helps or is helped by all of the flippers. And because it’s Masticore. Let’s not forget that.

That deck used to have more white cards than that. I don’t know where they all went. The Gardener deck used to have more blue creatures in it, too. That’s so strange. It’s almost like someone’s sabotaging my column. But who would do something like that? Who would—ROSEWATER!!!!!!!

Until next week, have fun flipping.

反転カードを使った、火力デッキです。

赤の反転カード2枚がどちらもダメージに関係しているので、自然とそうなるのでしょう。また、白の《新参の武士》も同様であるため、同時に入っています。白のカードはこれだけなのでタッチする形です。

あとは、本体火力、全体火力、火力持ちのクリーチャー（ティム）など、ひたすら火力満載です。

パッと見た限り、これまで紹介したデッキ同士で闘うとしたら、これが一番強いかもしれません。反転カードは結局のところクリーチャーなので、除去してしまえば終わりです。除去手段が豊富なこのデッキが有利ではないか、と考えています。
