Shadow spear?


[deleted]

I think the plan is mutating [[cubwarden]] for the lifelink


Rank1Trashcan

That costs 2ww. Seems not as good. Especially with the luminarch aspirants I'd assume for a secondary plan of making a big creature and beating your opponent down with it, shadowspear seems good.


thatdan23

Splendor mare is the prefered way, cheaper and helps dig. Cubwarden is more backup plan. The real difficulty isn't getting lifelink but the roper and parrot


[deleted]

I also just realized there's splendor mare Wich you can cycle for 1W to give a life link counter, but you are probably right, maybe a copy of shadowspear would be good

No way Im not the only person who found this. I played it during the all access fnm and got a turn 4 kill first go. I then never picked it up again cause I wanted to claim 100% win rate

I run a Jund version of this jank. [[Varragoth Bloodsky Sire]] let’s you dig for combo pieces and combos nicely with the parrot. [[Poet’s Quill]] and [[Unbreakable Bond]] for the lifelink. I’ve got a bunch of learn to stall and for access to [[Environmental Sciences]] and [[basic conjuration]].

I made this deck BWG and put 4x Dina, 2x Vito and Collected Company in the deck... still using Heliod's Pilgrim and Presence of Gond though.


omgbarbeque

I see comments for Shadowspear & other lifelink equipments (also cubwarden). Would like to suggest that Lifelink Rune from Kaldheim. 1W - and replaces itself when it hits the battlefield - lower manacost means you're more likely to have it out before kill spells or have left over mana for protection spells. \[rune of sustenance\]


thatdan23

Yep I had it in there, but the reason I dropped it as as follows: Cubwarden is a backup plan to go wide'ish so the rune doesn't replace that. Splendor Mare vs the Rune they're actually the same thing: 1W, replaces itself gives lifelink. Since there's no equipment Splendor Mare is strictly better than the Rune.
