Primer is WIP

Testing the deck, see maybeboard for some ideas! @Brianstormer has a really interesting take on the deck trying to maximize manuscript, I love drawing cards so it seems cool

What are we trying to do?

NMC (Abbv. for the deck) is a midrange deck that is working to maximize Monster tribe payoffs and Necromancer’s 1-power skeletons. This is backed up by some generically good water units that either force movement, grant movement abilities, or provide card advantage. Monstermorphosis and Shapeshift give us really great necromancer payoffs and allow a little skeleton to turn into a scary beater with just 3-4 mana investment.

What’s core to the deck?

A strong monster core, Monstermorphosis, and Abyssal assault provides solid units (ahead of curve if morphed) and powerful removal. On-board effects that target also seem necessary to deal with ward.

What’s being tested?

Everything else! Here are some thoughts on the list:

Auras

Eclipse - One card to push an aggro plan in an Evil deck. Seems like a no brainer, but need to make sure in actual gameplay

Sphere of Animosity - BIG maybe. Seems like it would be great when the situation exactly calls for it. Bladedancer, Deathspeaker, healing - boom, this is a silver bullet. Otherwise, I might rather have Mariner’s Curse \_o_/

Falling Star - one of my favorite cards of the new set. Allows you to sneak in a big monster behind enemy lines and act as mini removal on the site of impact.

Artifacts

Toolbox - Want to test in actual gameplay. I think I might just want to run the two murder of crows in the collection instead, since I’m maximizing Shoggoth and Horrible hybrids due to my sites.

Minions - WIP -

My take is that anything that’s not a monster needs to be really good on its own. Crabs, Dreamers, Pelleas, Maiden, and Evil Twin are generically good and provide card advantage, movement advantage, or in Twin’s case, minion copying. Abaddon is crazy good, providing forced movement, ward breaking, and damage.

Draconian Bonekite - most likely to be cut next. It’s an awesome card to sneak in with Falling Star, but otherwise thinking of switching with another low-curve minion.
