When and how to draft it
1. Dampen Thought
2. Eerie Procession
3. Candles’ Glow
4. Ethereal Haze
5. Glacial Ray
6. Peer Through Depths
7. Consuming Vortex
8. Psychic Puppetry
9. Reach Through Mists
10. Sift Through Sands
Dampen Thought is the card that makes the deck so it’s obviously first.
Candles’ Glow, Ethereal Haze, Glacial Ray, Consuming Vortex and Psychic Puppetry all basically do the same job – they stop you dying. Whether it’s through preventing damage, killing the creature or just stopping it attacking, it’s this suite of five cards that help you stay alive long enough to win. They are all Arcane cards in their own right and four of the five can be Spliced onto Arcane as well, although you frequently won’t have time to pay Consuming Vortex’s Splice cost. Glacial Ray is very powerful in this deck but the fact that it’s a red card can be a big drawback. This deck needs a lot of blue mana as you’ll often be casting things like Reach Through Mists and Sift Through Sands and be looking to Splice blue cards onto them. If you draft Rays you’ll probably still need access to three colours, which can hurt both of the splash colours as well as your ability to Splice everything you want. When you get it working though, Glacial Ray is far better than the other options as it removes most creatures permanently. If you get Glacial Ray running early in a match you can sometimes leave your opponent creatureless after killing their first three or four guys, at which point you have plenty of time to go about milling them to death.

昨日の記事の続きです。
《思考の鈍化/Dampen Thought》ノンクリーチャーデッキのピック方針や重要パーツトップ10です。
《思考の鈍化/Dampen Thought》は当然として、その枚数が少なくとも《不気味な行列/Eerie Procession》でサーチすることで水増しできます。ドローカードでも同様です。
あとは基本的に相手の攻撃を捌ける秘儀カードを詰め込んでいきます。《氷河の光線/Glacial Ray》は優秀な火力ですが、それゆえに他家にもとられやすいのが欠点です。その点で言えば、他のデッキでは使われにくい、一時しのぎのカード《天空のもや/Ethereal Haze》や《精神のくぐつ/Psychic Puppetry》が連携先として拾いやすくなるでしょう。
