Has anyone had any luck with a loner strategy? Putting one creature out there as oppose to an army of creatures. I do have the Solitary Fiends intro deck and i have cards like Bloodthrone Vampire , fettergeist , Lone Revenant . Not sure how it would work in duels as i have never used it, and honestly im more confident going into battle with my Goblin mob or Rakdo's deck (both argo). But i would like to try this deck some time as i do love the malicious things that black mana cards do. Wondering if i should cut my total amount of creatures in this deck to 20 and have more instants and enchantments? Or if their are any other cards that make good loners as i have only dealt with core13, RTR and Avacyn Restored
If you want to be able to with only 1 creature out, should probably look into building around Phage the Untouchable or Novablast Wurm . Phage is pretty obivious, she get's through, you win. Wurm is also pretty obivious, it attacks, every other creature get's blown up.
In Phage's case, a lot of discard to remove their answers would be in order, as well as Traitor's Clutch to have her slip past would-be-blockers.
For Wurm, you just want to ramp it out in a hurry.
Neither of these cards are in the current sets, but they should be pretty easy to get a hold of.
For Phage, your best answer to their answers is Whispersilk Cloak : Not only does it stop any spot removal, but on Phage, it says "At the end of your next combat step, you win the game."
LOL, beat me to the Cloak idea. I coulda typed faster, but was looking for a card name. The old Vampire legend that couldn't attack unless it was the only one in play, that you lost 3 life each turn, and exiled other creatures?
