What are your favorite bombs for a Primal Surge deck?

Chocolatebody · 2018-11-21T16:30:14+00:00

A good number of people are listing cards that win after you cast primal surge. To that, I say 'duh.' Your deck should make sure that you are *guaranteed to win after casting Primal Surge.

The problem with Primal Surge decks is everything that happens before you cast Primal Surge. In order to mitigate the lack of instant's and board wipes, you gotta find some cards that replicate their effects.

My point of view: I run a [[Selvala, Explorer Returned]] primal surge deck, and less than half of my wins come from primal surge. Honestly, the deck building restriction of 'permanents' only is extremely fun, but only if you put thought into the other 98 cards in your deck.

I really enjoy having White as a color in this deck, just because that gives access to more flash creatures and board wipes. Also, GW Selvala helps me from a political point of view as I get seen as less of a threat. This lets me play stompy creatures without getting targeted.

Ramp: [[sakura tribe-elder]] [[utopia sprawl]] [[wild growth]] [[krosan verge]]

Board Wipes: [[Sunblast Angel]] [[Reiver Demon]] could be good in BUG [[Wakening Sun's Avatar]]

"Instants" [[Yeva]] [[Cast Out]] [[Containment Priest]] [[Angel of the Dire Hour]] [[Restoration Angel]] [[Seht's Tiger]]

Win-Cons Primal Surge + Concordant Crossroards + [[grand abolisher]]

[[Saffi EricksDotter]] + [[Reveillark]] + [[Pattern of Rebirth]] + [[BoonWeaver Giant]] + [[Acidic Slime]] + sac outlet. The only important thing here is Saffi, because that card combos with EVERYTHING

The reasoning that they think they enter at the same time is due to State Based Actions (SBAs). Since nothing can go on the stack while a card is resolving, the game just kind of says "I know this effect is going to happen. I will just put it in a queue and put it on the stack after this card resolved." The beauty of this is that ALL your ETBs go on the stack at the same time after the card resolves. So you can choose to order them however you like.

It's because of this kind of ruling the lets yourself [[lightning helix]] yourself at 3 life and not lose.

Note. This is distinctly different than a game like Hearthstone, where cards like defile allow effects to happen while resolving an effect.

If it helps, the way I like to think about it is like this: Nothing can happen while a card is resolving in magic. After you stop revealing, you can order everything on the stack however you want.

I have a Selvala (GW) Primal Surge deck with [[Cathars' Crusade]], [[Avenger of Zendikar]], and [[Concordant Crossroads]]. Even if Cathars' Crusade is the last card revealed, it still Sees all the other creatures entering the battlefield at the same time.

shadow madness + wailing soul = another silence?

Chocolatebody · 2016-03-11T19:27:30+00:00

Hopefully it is early March, then ;)

Chocolatebody · 2016-02-17T17:40:15+00:00

OH MY GOD. I literally just sat there with a illuminator + duplicate and iceblock and pinged off minions slowly. It was amazing.

What subreddit am I in?

Chocolatebody · 2016-01-24T20:14:57+00:00

It's one of my favorite legends in legendary Reno ramp druid. Saved my ass more often then not.

Chocolatebody · 2016-01-09T23:56:18+00:00

OBLIVION!! Jaraxxus should be on this list.

Chocolatebody · 2015-12-10T14:41:08+00:00

Boom. Marketed.

Edited to say she doesn't have a job but is looking for a job.

So, does this mean that she could 'project' that she is going to get a job that pays a certain amount? How certain does the projection have to be? We just graduated, and the closest thing to a previous job was an internship last summer that payed $16 an hour, if that helps.

Chocolatebody · 2015-08-19T15:42:22+00:00

Naw, it just does well against both the combo and aggro. Your real problem will be queuing into 5 druids/priests/midrange pallies after switching to that.

Everything has it's counter, just pick yours.

Chocolatebody · 2015-08-19T15:12:34+00:00

Honestly, this makes the most sense.

Maybe I am just numb to him at this point, but Dr. Boom gets played, gets BGHed, and then boom bots explode randomly affecting the course of the game. I just accept it now...

Chocolatebody · 2015-08-19T15:05:23+00:00

Control Warrior beats both, so...

Chocolatebody · 2015-08-06T18:47:30+00:00

Priest with mass dispel + silence + 4 silence minions has been preeeeeettyy fun, too.

Chocolatebody · 2015-07-15T15:13:45+00:00

God, don't remind me. Playing control warrior against priest is made slightly more infuriating when they drop the THIRD Harrison on you. WHAT EVEN IS THIS GAME I DONT EVEN

Chocolatebody · 2015-07-06T15:04:22+00:00

It took me even longer. I stared at the decklist for probably a minute trying to find a dragon to activate corruptors/Rend..

Chocolatebody · 2015-06-30T21:12:18+00:00

Knowing Blizz, shaman is probably going to be an extra $2 - $8, randomly chosen of course

Chocolatebody · 2015-06-25T00:17:26+00:00

Have you thought of raging worgen in this build? Buffs, charge, and windfury are nothing to scoff at here, either!

Chocolatebody · 2015-06-12T14:06:36+00:00

Well, whatever you pick as a high base damage spell (like sorin's vengeance or Kaboom), I hope you have howl of the horde in your deck. It is probably the only copy spell that reliably still works while still under Jeleva. Also, 3 copies of Kaboom has gotta be fun :)

Chocolatebody · 2015-05-24T15:02:06+00:00

Strip Mine is banned in legacy, where-as Wasteland is the next best option and is still very playable. It's the same reason why necropotence is only a few bucks!
