Magic: The Gathering - The Untouchables v2.0

heres an oldy but goody, something i made for shits and giggles back in the day, i really liked the way it played so i decided to bring it back as part of a "the best of Absolutezero" collection.

cause out of all the decks ive ever built, there are 4 ive always loved most.

This is one.

the other decks in this collection are a black/green Spiritmonger deck during the Apocalypse/Odyssey block, a black/blue Nightmare deck when Torment was out, and a blue/black/green Future Sight/Morph deck that got out creatures of all colors really fast around the Onslaught block

So without further ado, i give you "The Untouchables!"


Creatures (21):
  • 1x Phage, The Untouchable
  • 4x Shadowmage Infiltrator
  • 4x Cephalid Pathmage
  • 3x Withered Wretch
  • 4x Crypt Creeper
  • 2x Painbringer
  • 2x Organ Grinder
Spells (19):
  • 4x Web of Inertia
  • 3x Gravestorm
  • 4x Grip of Amnesia
  • 3x Grave Consequences
  • 3x Mortiphobia
  • 3x Lost in Thought
Lands (20):
  • 4x Drowned Catacomb
  • 1x Shizo, Death's Storehouse
  • 3x Sunken Ruins
  • 4x Watery Grave
  • 4x Island
  • 4x Swamp

The whole point, is Phage is really just a distraction, if you win with her great, but theres only 1 in the deck for a reason.

unblockable creatures are perfect since you can do small amounts of damage the opponent is willing to let slip past as long as Phage doesnt get to them

its magical how gullible people are sometimes aint it?

to help speed up the price theres also Nefarious Lich which if timed right can win the game with a single unblockable critter on the board. dont let it bite you in the ass though, as your graveyard will be just as scarce as your opponents.

theres a decent amount of card drawing to speed this up a bit, with Gravestorms and the Finkels (a.k.a. Shadowmage Infiltrator)

and to top it all off if you thought you EVER had to worry about being attacked, theres also Web of Inertia, the best swarm control since Hissing Miasma (which ironically came AFTER.... oh well)
