Deck 'HexCloak_v0.4' |
Help |
| Deck : | 'HexCloak_v0.4', by Eric Baes (created 2015-04-12) |
| Format : | Standard        |
| Archetype : | (Sultai) Green Midrange |
| Colors : |    |
| Plan A : | ramped swarm and (hexproof) fatties, supported by early deathtouch and moderate spot removal |
| Plan B : | lowering the curve towards more control after sideboarding |
| Strengths : | just enough ramping capability; some board wipe resilience; (hexproof/deathtouch) creature cloaking; high probability for useful turn 1 creature; versatile sideboard |
| Weaknesses : | not going over the top; moderate (primarily lands) self-damage; no exiling capability; moderate scry and no card draw capability |
| Comment : | variable results, but mostly too slow; unclear whether e.g. 'Hornet Nest' or 'Hornet Queen' might provide additional sideboard value |
