mtg bonus card burnt offering Magic The Gathering MTGNexus - Burnt Offering

(And, of course, the sweet spot is when you have very strong tribal rewards and very strong individual creatures!) Sometimes you might have to play a couple creatures that are just below the bar of normal playability, but you certainly don't want to fill your deck up with those

Although you'd probably want common Cultivate there instead and save your 5 Uncommon slots

For the flip you get two casts of something like a Mana Leak but making your opponent pay 2 instead of 3

(and year)

The real backbone for this deck, however, comes from Lorwyn Eclipsed

A mana-neutral artifact like many of the weapons in the set, whenever a creature with deathtouch blocks a creature wielding the shield, the creatures deathtouch is turned back on them and theyre destroyed
