Description

That feels a bit better I think... (DONE)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n-----------------------------------\nWhat's the upside of adding counters for more mana instead of just using equipment aside from it bypassing removal?\n\nIf the board is wiped whilst skullbriar had 20 counters, you can punish the player that's open by instakilling them on your next turn as Skullbriar has haste. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n-> The goal of the build then becomes getting Skullbriar to 20 +1/+1 counters as quickly as possible while controlling the board in other ways. Other counters help but mostly become required if players aren't open as frequently. At that point, combining deathtouch and trample would be a good way out. Other evasion works too but can be hard to come by.\n\n--------------------------------------------\nConsider the fact giving skullbriar lifelink is a form of survivability too!"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nBit of a problem: If Skullbriar loses his abilities through enchantments or humility, and dies, all of his counters are gone. You essentially start from square one again... You can largely prevent this by making it un-enchantable through bog-bonder (humility isn't run in our pod)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n---------------------------------------------------\nTargets for graveyard tutors:\n\nDaring Fiendbonder:"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The most usefull target. Get this guy if you can spare the extra 2 mana on the turn you tutor him to the grave. Indestructible is super valuable!\n\nIncreasing Savagery:"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The most powerful target, offers the potential of adding 10 counters for 7 mana. Really good if you are struggling with finding enough counters or have a counter doubler in hand.\n\nVisions of Dominance:"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Mostly there as a target when the other 2 are already gone. Definetly not as good but can work when mana flooded.\n\n-----------\nConsider running Jared, Golgari Lich Lord if Skullbriar reliably achieves 20+ counters. This card becomes an insta-win at that point and can be tutored through the graveyard for increased accesability.\n\n-------\nPROBLEMS THIS DECK HAS:\n\nThere needs to be more consistent card draw. I'm not sure how to achieve that given our colours and game plan. Maybe that opportunist card could be an interesting include?"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThere are not enough ways to give Skullbriar enough counters early on in the game."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThere are too little evasion options that stick on Skullbriar when he dies (trample tokens for instance)."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nEnd result: you run out of gas before Skullbriar even has the chance to become lethal. When he's killed, you have no way to push through either...\n\nNot sure how to adress this. Kinda feels like commanders such as Uril just handle voltron a lot better. They just get hexproof for free on top of built in +2/+2 buffs, meanwhile we're here slowly building up counters whilst bleeding cards out of our hand.\n"}]}
