Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hey, here is my submission to the Secret Commander in the 99 competition! My deck is called Blistering Firecatnado, since the goal of the deck is to swarm the board with a load of blistering firecats to swing for lethal!\nThis card was one of the favorites from the kitchen table my brothers and I would play growing up. It was the perfect burst of damage in all the red aggro decks we would play, especially on the occasional times it would be morphed into play and flipped up! I had so many good memories with this card, so I wanted to try to make a deck that revolved around recurring this card over and over, which led me to picking Chainer for the face commander. One big issue with the firecat is that it sacrifices at every end step\nChainer s"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"ervers two main purposes:"},{"insert":"\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"var(--light-background)","color":"var(--color)"},"insert":" 1- adding black to the color pool so I can play tutors/graveyard tutors for the deck. "},{"insert":"\n2 - Her ability that lets me cast a creature once per turn from graveyard.\nThis has my goal set as: tutor blistering firecat into my hand or graveyard, then use Chainer to cast every turn for damage. Hitting people for 7~ damage a turn is not enough for a commander game though, which is why I added two categories:\nAmplify the Cat: This category has cards that will double the damage that the cats will do, or things like sacrifice them to goblin bombardment before their own triggers to squeeze a little more damage.\nDuplicate the Cat: This is where the deck is really able to shine is with Red's temporary token cards that allow me to make extra token copies of the Firecat! Some are only one time effects, but there's a few Enchantments that are able to repeatedly make token copies when the firecat enters.\n\nMaking a strategy around a secret commander. ( Especially one that likes to kill itself) Is at risk of the deck falling apart if the creature gets exiled, which is why I had to add a few backup creatures, and a few ways to protect the Firecat if it gets targeted with any exile removal.\nBackup Beaters - This category has two very similar cards to the Firecat with Ball Lightning and Lightning Skelemental, who serve a very similar purpose and just act as extra backup copies. Also, notably, they are all elemental creature types, which works very well with the handful of kindred synergy cards in the deck\nProtect the Cat - to prevent the cat from getting exiled, I added a few ways to help prevent this. First there are redirect spells light bolt bend to change the target of a path to exile to anyone else. Second, the goblin bombardment also serves as a way to sacrifice in response to any exile effects to get them in the graveyard instead.\n\nKindred Cards - since the 3 creatures of the deck are all Elemental types, it makes all the creature type based spells very effective and will apply to any of the creatures we get into play to buff, revive, or copy them. \n\nI hope you enjoyed looking at this decklist, and thank you for looking at my submission!\n"}]}
