So, what I attempted to do here is to make a deck based on my understanding of the mythological Norse giants.

Pauper EDH Deck Time – Crackling Drake
One of the weird archetypes I like is Burn. Okay, Burn in itself isn’t strange, but I’ve liked those red-based decks that rely on just casting spells that work well with the creatures. I’m not explaining this very well, but think [scryfall]Thermo-Alchemist[/scryfall]. That’s something.
Now, what’s the difference between [scryfall]Crackling Drake[/scryfall] and [scryfall]Enigmatic Drake[/scryfall]? Not much, actually, but at least we can use flashback, delve and the brand new jump-start (which is clearly the reason for some parts of the text on the card).
EDH Deck Time: Zndrsplt + Okaun
This guy…
Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom
4U
Legendary Creature – Homunculus
Partner with Okaun, Eye of Chaos (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Okaun into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)At the beginning of combat on your turn, flip a coin until you lose a flip.
Whenever a player wins a coin flip, draw a card.
1/4
… is apparently the best friend of this guy:
Okaun, Eye of Chaos
4R
Legendary Creature – Cyclops Berserker
Partner with Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may put Zndrsplt into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)At the beginning of combat on your turn, flip a coin until you lose a flip.
Whenever a player wins a coin flip, double Okaun’s power and toughness until end of turn.
3/3
Hour of Devastation Brews, pt. 4 – UR Flash
As usual, there are some potentially very impactful cards hidden in the final bunch of spoilers. One of them could very well be this one.
I didn’t really expect that to be back any time soon, as they have recently nerfed this ability somewhat, but it is a good answer to Eternalize. However, in Standard, just the tempo can also be important.
Amonkhet Brews, pt. 3 – UR Haven
Even if this one isn’t actually the bomb certain people want it to be, I don’t see why I couldn’t dream about using it. This could be Grixis as well, but the mana requirements might be a bit too much, although we could probably just use the cycle-duals to splash something. I’m not entirely sure what, though.
Building My Own Cube, pt. 8 – Keranos
Oath of the Gatewatch Brews, pt. 6 – Prowess
Not enough one-drops for either of these, but what can you do? They can’t really make more [scryfall]Monastery Swiftspear[/scryfall]s.
Journey Into Nyx Event Deck Review
Once again, I decided to put my money where my mouth is, and instead of simply opening the Event Deck for Journey Into Nyx, I went to an FNM and tried it out. Last time I went 4-0. Let’s see how I did this time.
