Hey, anyone down to help me figure out a 75 for an MH3 release weekend Win-a-Box? π
I'm gonna be super reliant on stuff I can borrow/get from prerelease but I have spicy plans that I think should be good, and is fully designed to catch people off-guard before any (haha) Adaptations can happen.
So, Arcane Adaptation!
4x Llanowar Elves
4x Elvish Mystic
4x Wirewood Symbiote
4x Arcane Adaptation
4x Leyline of Abundance
4x Priest of Titania / Serum Powder
4x Pact of Negation
4x Wild Shape
4x Breeding Pool
4x {G Fetch}
4x {G Fetch}
3x {G Fetch}
6x Forest
Current list is something like this, which gets to 53 cards. Theoretical game plan would be start with a Leyline, t1 Elf, t2 Adaptation + Symbiote = infinite G mana, infinite +1/+1 counters on the t1 Elf. Needless to say, it's a super all-in combo deck that cries vs Bolt. Wild Shape is the best Hexproof option, with that in mind, because it can protect from removal or trample over a t1 DRC/Ragavan.
I think Priest of Titania / Serum Powder is a question of how all-in on the combo I want to be - and in the case of Serum Powder, likely adds Leyline of Anticipation as well. Maybe neither, maybe it's just more dorks/protection spells.
Royal Treatment & Swan Song seem like reasonable options here too, in an effort to protect t1 dorks (and if nothing else, sideboard is likely just a pile of these effects), and on that note, Birds of Paradise (or some other 1-mana dork) could help on consistency too. Preordain probably a pretty valuable option here too, since I'm already going into Blue for Adaptation & need the card quality. London Mulligan does a lot of work here & I'm almost always pushing for a starting Leyline if nothing else.
Obviously this could shift a little based on the rest of MH3, but I want to figure this out before that point so I can try to have some of the pieces in before the prerelease/release weekends. If anyone's got some inspiration to bring to this, lmk?
