counterburn - boréal

IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?

Similar to lion-dib-bolt, it's a "12-bolt deck". Bolts are good because they're bimodal spells: they can control the board or go face, depending on your role assessment at a given time. If you're in the business of beating The Deck, 12 bolts decks give you the best odds. ​

​

Some people use Ironclaw Orcs instead of Flying Men, which is probably smart given how obviously soft to Bottle this deck is otherwise.

MEMORIES FROM PLAYING IT?
