My battles against Captain Obvious are neverending. That jerk wants everything to be as nonconvoluted as possible. Doesn’t he know that violates the supervillain code? I could get kicked out of the League of Evil for that! One of his recent projects was a Champions of Kamigawa Snake deck. His way is to toss Sashi, Sosuke, and Seshiro together, along with a bunch of other sibilant slitherers, and be done with it. My way is to start with the “unplayable” Snake—Shisato, Whispering Hunter—and break it. Add in a Whispersilk Cloak so that it can’t be targeted or blocked and you’ve just Stasisified your opponent. (Doesn’t Stasis sound like it belongs in here?) Orochi Eggwatcher and Orochi Hatchery can pump out Snake tokens for it to (rather cannibalistically) eat, and you can keep Shisato’s energy up all day. Captain Obvious and I were locked in a death-defying battle on a tightrope strung between two hot-air balloons (long story), but then the episode ended with that cliffhanger and, what with presidential debates and baseball playoffs, the conclusion hasn’t aired yet. I don’t know who wins, so I’ll have to compromise.
I still like playing with Shisato, but it’s not the focus of this deck anymore. (Whispersilk Cloak, although it paired oh-so-thematically with the Whispering Hunter, was largely useless otherwise, so I cut it.) The new fun thing is to see how big you can get your Snake tokens. They get +1/+0 from Sosuke, +0/+1 from Sachi, +2/+2 from Seshiro, +2/+2 from Konda’s Banner, and +who knows how much/+that same amount again from Coat of Arms. The Blasting Station-Beacon of Creation trick works just as well with Orochi Hatchery, so here it is again.WHY’D IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES?
Creature (23)
2 Matsu-Tribe Decoy
4 Orochi Eggwatcher
4 Orochi Sustainer
3 Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro
4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
2 Seshiro the Anointed
2 Shisato, Whispering Hunter
2 Sosuke, Son of Seshiro
Sorcery (5)
2 Collective Unconscious
3 Time of Need
Artifact (9)
1 Blasting Station
1 Coat of Arms
3 Konda’s Banner
4 Orochi Hatchery
Land (23)
22 Forest
1 Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
60 Cards
Hmmm, that was reasonably obvious, wasn’t it? Some fun things within the deck: Sachi turns a number of your Snakes into producers to help power out a giant Hatchery. The Hatchery can help your Eggwatcher flip. And Shisato turns your Decoys into mini-assassins as they have extra power, a Basilisk ability, and a moderate form of Lure. It’s better creature removal than green normally gets!

《囁きの狩人、しさ斗/Shisato, Whispering Hunter》を軸にした、蛇デッキの紹介です。他にも、かルドラデッキや侍デッキが紹介されています。
この記事のテーマは「超悪玉/supervillain」らしいのですが、実のところその辺りのネタがあまりよく分かっていません。
デッキとしては普通にまとまっているようですが、それ以上の意味については解説は難しそうです。
