# The Game Plan

I once made a comment about [[Magician]] being at best no better than [[Spellslinger]]. I was way wrong. The advantage of [[Magician]] is all about the ability to see your powerful cards more often — in other words, threat density. So with that in mind, I made a deck that takes full advantage of the extra mana from (A) Air sites (i.e., [[Dark Tower]], [[Lone Tower]], [[Gothic Tower]] and [[Den of Evil]]) to make an evil deck.

I originally designed this deck to be very aggro and almost like a "Burn" or "Suicide Black" deck, if you're familiar with those Magic: The Gathering style decks; however, after playing against some of the other aggro decks in the meta, it needed to change. That is when this deck shifted into what it is today: a weird mixture of aggro and resource destruction. The new game plan seeks to play threats early and utilize them to destroy your opponent's resources to stay ahead of them. You will steal cards from their hand. You will steal minions in play. You will destroy sites. It will be fun. It will be... evil. 😈

# Notes

💀 I use [[Mix Ignis]] instead of [[Amethyst Core]] and [[Ruby Core]] and [[Philosopher's Stone]] because of [[Swap]]. I don't want to leave artifacts hanging out that can allow them to get the drop on me. Also, I designed the minion package and spells to utilize the [[Mix Ignis]] a little better. An early [[Raze]] or an early [[Lord of Destruction]] could change the entire tide of the entire game.

💀 [[Cerberus in Chains]] is great in this deck because there are a lot of times when you're unable to play or draw a site and you have nothing to do with your [[Magician]] other than move. It's also great because if you [[Blink]] your avatar, it will teleport with you. But keep in mind that it's pretty difficult to cast compared to everything else, so it may sit in your hand for a while if you draw it in the opening 7.

💀 There's a lot of demons in this deck, why not [[Demonic Contract]]? I think it's is a trap. If you think otherwise, GET IN THE COMMENTS!

💀 Remember that [[Coy Nixie]] will suffocate in the resulting [[Rubble]] after you [[Raze]], but a [[Root Spider]] will stay alive.

💀 The [[Wiccan Tools]] in the collection is there for [[Pith Imp]].

# Open Questions

❓ I'm considering [[Lord of Fear]] due to its ability to allow [[Lord of Destruction]] to attack easier. However, I just don't know if [[Lord of Fear]] is better than [[Infernal Legion]] or one of the smaller minions like [[Clamor of Harpies]], due to it raising my curve. If [[Lord of Fear]] better than [[Legion of Gall]]. Is a better curve better for the deck, or is a stronger set of minions?
