Repeal seems good against chalice at zero, but it can also work well with chalice at zero. Just throwing an idea into the air; against gifts and slaver decks, chalice can be better than null rod because it stops tinker targets. With repeal, even when your not on the play, you can drop chalice and bounce theyre mox in the same turn, basically acting as a cantrip that destroys one of they're moxen. Now it is still an issue that thirst for knowledge can pitch these, but can it provide tempo for a certain deck to make use of?
I've tried to incorporate it into a fish build even though I'm sick of fish and like drains
, but if you think it suits another deck better feel free to post about it. Martyr of Frost from Coldsnap is a great little card for slower builds of fish rather than lions and I also wanted to use it. Standstill is in, even though not played often now, I'm trying it over brainstorm.
4xRepeal
4xChalice
4xForce Of Will
4xStandstill
3x Stifle
2xSwords
1xAcall
1xTime Walk
4xMeddling Mage
4xMartyr of Frost
3xNinja of the Deep Hours
3xWaterfront Bouncer
As for the manabase, I was thinking along the lines of factories, 5 strips, 4 fetch 4 tundra (would play more feches but alot of stifle being played lately.)
The hardest matchup is aggro, but factories block most weenies and bouncers and swords help a lot.
Sb depends on Meta, but seals, kataki, stormscape, jotun grunt etc.
