神河当時 - 鬼と大峨の安価デッキ

For the longest time, Juzam reigned supreme as the best Power/Toughness to casting cost ratio for Black. 5/5 for four mana is certainly a good deal. The drawback doesn’t hurt either…too much.

Juzam’s little brother recently showed up on the Magic scene, but little Juzy is all grown up into Yukora, the Prisoner. Yukora is just like the ol’ Djinn except for 2 important distinctions. First, it’s a Legend. Second, its drawback is much harsher…or is it?

Oni are not like your average demons. They seem to have a fondness for Ogres, and vice versa. Why? The answer has something to do with what we call Ogres and Demons being interconnected in Japanese culture, and the Magic translation is that they work very well with each other. (I am sure if Brady Dommermuth reads this feeble explanation he will scorn me in the halls – one of the hazards to actually working in the Wizards buildings!)

Either way, Betrayers made the Demon/Ogre deck truly vicious. Also, we find one powerful Ogre from Mirrodin block. With Affinity gone, Drooling Ogre can come out to play! It shouldn’t be too much trouble keeping him, since you will have Talismans and Pyrite Spellbombs helping out.

Let’s take a look at the decklist.

鬼（デーモン・スピリット）と大峨（オーガ）の部族間シナジーを重視したデッキ紹介です。

サイズに優れたクリーチャーを並べて殴るので、シンプルでわかりやすいでしょう。裏返せば、単調でしかないシナジーなので、そこが当時の構築で実績を残せなかった一因かもしれません。マイナー部族かつ、異種族での部族シナジーというのもあるでしょう。あまり作られないデザインなだけに、掘り下げると面白そうではありますが。
