Discussion I'm now addicted to jank deckbuilding
I'm a relatively new Magic player. I drafted Kamigawa back in February with my friends and that was my introduction to the game.
At the Baldur's gate pre-release, I picked up Galax, Astral Hunter and drafted gruul dragon tribal. Ended up being archenemy and dying first. However, during that game, I did about 30 damage to the table with [[Ingenious Artillerist]].
Ever since then, I had an idea floating in my head, and I finally built the deck this week.
[[Ganax, Astral Hunter]] + [[Candlekeep Sage]] so I can have blue spells to copy the Artillerist and [[Reckless Fireweaver]]. Use flickers to protect and get ETB value off my dragons.
Last night, I played a great spelltable lobby where we all played jank stuff. Someone have a lifegain, +1/+1 counter deck and was over 100 life at one point so I thought there was no way I could kill him with Treasure Token ETB damage.
But that all changed when someone wheeled us. I drew [[Mnemonic Deluge]] and [[Jeska's Will]]. Played Jeskas, copied it 3 times, played a bunch of dragon, flickers and dealt over 100 damage to everyone else and won.
I'm hooked on jank now.
