600 Pts Suicide Black "At Any Price"
I won the Gencon AotP tourney this year, here's the army that I played.
Ob Nixilis, Demon of Spite 385 Ghoul Vanguard 100 Restless Zombies 60 Eldrazi Scions 55 Decklist Barter in Blood 5 Dark Harvest 15 Duress 15 Alter's Reap 25 Bone Splinters 10 Corrupt 10 Killing Wave 40 Rise of the Dark Realms 25 Painful Truths 20 Liliana's Caress 5 Despise 10 Ever After 20 Here's the opening - Turn one, summon ONLY Restless Zombies. Summon 1 next to Ob Nixilous & the other two 5 spaces towards the opponents starting zone. Next, use Ob's "At Any Price" ability to destroy the zombie summoned next to Ob & draw a card. Then, move Ob next to the other two zombies you summoned. Turn two, activate Ob & use "At Any Price" to destroy another zombie & draw another card. Then, if possible, cast "Painful Truths" on the other zombie to kill him & draw two cards. With this opening you should have drawn 8 cards as the starting player, 9 as the drawing player. With this kind of card advantage, you should have no problem crushing the opposition. Thoughts? |

It must work if you won.
How many people were in the tournament. I was going to enter that one but ended up in another game at the same time. |

Re: 600 Pts Suicide Black "At Any Price"
Nice work! Seems like a pretty good strat. Card advantage is nearly as powerful in AoTP as it is in MTG.
I'd love to see a battle report of your tourney run if you have some time / remember the matches enough. Did you happen to face any Eldrazi Ruiner teams? How much weight were your Scions pulling? They seem a little lacking in synergy but they're really not a bad squad for the points as-is. |

The nice thing about the Scions is that if you are facing Blue cards, it is not as bad when your opponent Mind Controls the Scions compared to some of the other available squads.
I would have ran either Blue/Green or Red/White with four squads to hopefully win by attrition. |
