Full Sprint Battlemage (3 Color)

hey cool deck thanks for the primer. was just curious what different cards you would play if you weren't limited by paper card constraints?

Crown of the Victor is very enticing, potentially Gigantism though threshold makes that scary, and arguably a second Chains in place of Cerberus though doggo is maybe too cool to cut.

Oh and potentially Browse, though again threshold makes that scary

UPDATE 8/22: Common sense dictates that I ought to play Common Sense. Also decided to cut Cloud City and Rift Valley to make threshold easier to hit with a full 9 duals and a Colour Out of Space, have to change sleeves though since my Colour is foil :P I'll miss my clear sleeves.

Update 11/12: -1 Minor Explosion for +1 Lightning Bolt. Found that the extra reach is useful in enough matches and the double fire threshold can sometimes be tricky. I've elected to keep the one Minor Explosion to play around stacking units.

Update 11/21: Remove one Font of Life and 1 Telekenesis from side to make room for 2 Divine Healing which should be more generally applicable. Signed up for the end of year Sorcery League Tournament so wish me luck!

What's the secret to a good deck in your opinion

Know what you find fun and make the most authentic version of that as you can. For example in this deck I get to play and enjoy the fantasy of being a (mostly) one man army. With that goal in mind I strive to find what cards most effectively allow for that gameplay to be expressed and in the end have found sufficient success. It certainly isn't the highest win rate Battlemage list you can find, but it delivers a very specific experience that is highly satisfying to execute. To be honest I'm not much of a deck builder, but that would be my advice.

Tldr: Common Sense, Grapple Shot

Also, you forgot crown of the victor

Don't own one but yeah, should be in here.

Cool deck, do you consider Highland Princess?

Generally speaking I would recommend her though not here as this list looks to play out a very specific power fantasy

Thanks for your answer. And Seven-League Boots? Huuuuge movement.. I use a very similar deck, I found some problems against a pathfinder that steal/banish sites using worm and lord of the void. A lot of spell to move sites like Clud sky, earthquake, atlas wanderer.. I am an entry level player, so maybe there are workarounds that I didn't saw.. Any suggestion? :)

Hi, there is an error on the primer, flaming sword when splash doen't strike, is the artifat to make the damage so you can't proceed exponentially whit leap attack. There is a FaQ adbout thet on the flaming sword page.

I love this deck and wanted to play a "creature-less" version as soon as I saw Battlemage. I'm playing it with Cerberus and Death Dealer as my only Minions, as I think having a Board Wipe is OP with this version.

Star_Boy Deathdealer costs 7, and Battlemage almost always shouldn’t have that many sites because you kjuat want to be attacking. I do agree though that if it was cheaper it would be insane.

Just, Not kjuat
