Rozbor Magic the Gathering balíčku Turtle Splash na PreModern
Dostal jsem tip na balíček, který i když mohl, tak vlastně nikdy v minulosti neexistoval, a vznikl až nyní exkluzivně pro formát Premodern.
Pokud se chcete dozvědět více o Magic the Gathering formátu PreModern, tak se určitě podívejte na souhrnný článek, který pro Vás připravil Zdeněk Matura.
Co je to zač?
Jednoduše řečeno – je to deck, který vám ve druhém kole může odemlít celou knihovnu ☺ WTF ? Ano!
Balíček dost pracuje se stackem – necháváme některé triggery neresolvnuté, a musíme učinit nějakou akci.
Co potřebujeme?
Saprazzan Bailiffa na stole – buď natvrdo za 5 man, anebo o manu levněji díky Gamekeeperovi.
Tzv. sacrifice outlet. Ten je zde representován Claws of Gix a Altar of Dementia (který ve finální sekvenci odemele oponenta)
Nástroje na nekonečnou manu: 2* Lotus Petal, nebo LED – Lions Eye Diamond (Který nám ovšem zahazuje ruku, tudíž také vyžaduje použití „v reakci na…“)
Animate Dead nebo Dance of Dead – aby byl Bailiff „nekonečný“
Co se stane?
Obětujeme 2 Petaly pro BB. Dostaneme na stůl Bailiffa. ETB trigger odstraňující všechny enchantmenty a artefakty z hrobů ponecháme na stacku. Merfolka obětujeme do Oltáře a vyhodnotíme dies trigger, který nám vrátí 2 Petaly. Vyhodnotíme zbytek stacku, což oponentovi semele 2 karty… Opět si dáme přes Petaly BB. Za 1B vyvoláme Dance/Animate Dead, což nám opět do hry dostane Bailiffa. Opět necháme removovací trigr na stacku a merfolka obětujeme. Tentokrát se nám vrátí na ruku kromě Petalů i Animate/Dance. Celou smyčku opakujeme v počtu potřebném na odemletí oponentovi knihovny a on prohraje v draw fázi.
Celé to lze provést i s jedním LED-kem namísto 2 Petalů. Změna je jen kosmetická: LED odpalujeme v reakci na Animate/Dance na stacku. Zároveň s LED je možno - když místo Oltáře máme na stole Claws of Gix – získat nekonečno životů.
{1}, {T}: Sacrifice Lodestone Bauble to put up to four target basic lands from any player's graveyard on top of his or her library in any order. That player draws a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep.

Rozbor Jednotlivých karet
Země:
Hrajeme cca 7 „sol-landů“ (Odvozeno od Sol Ringu. Tedy řeč je o zemích, co nám za tapnutí dají 2 many). Přes Ancient Tombu můžeme rovnou v prvním položit Oltář. Další jsou země z masek, které přijdou taplé se 2 kántry a umí poté vyprodukovat za sundání counteru 2 konkrétní many.
Dále 8 pětibarevných zdrojů – City of Brass a Gemstone Mine, neboť hrajeme 3 barvy (Ray of Revelation seslaný z ruky je dokonce barva čtvrtá. Možno zařadit ještě Undiscovered Paradise, která má ovšem zpomalující drawback…
Mix doplňují UB a BG, anebo i UG painlandy.
Kouzla:
Z potvor hrajeme pouze playset Gamekeeperů a jednoho Bailiffa.
Dalším způsobem jak tato stvoření dostat rychle na stůl je Přísaha Druidů (Oath of Druids), kdy stačí jedna protihráčova potvora a je víceméně vymalováno.
K hledání klíčových kousků – jako LED, Petals, Altars, Animate&Dance používáme poctivě plný počet Intuic.
Stejně tak hrajeme 4+4 Duressy a Cabal Terapie na kontrolu oponentovi ruky – hlavně kántrování. Terapie je taktéž další způsob obětování Gamekeepera / Bailiffa.
Pak už jen „obětovávadla“ Altar of Dementia a Claws of Gix. A na chuť jedna Bublina („To je přeci pes Rychlých šípů!“ ).
Sideboard:
Show and Tell - umožňuje nám klasický reanimátorský plán B, pokud oponent zařadí opravdu nekompromisní grave hate… Prostě položíme z ruky Symbiotického Wurma, kterého černé zabíjení jen rozloží na roj agresivních houbiček (Last of Us?) anebo blast from the past – Ihsan Shada, jehož nelze odeslat s kosou na pole (čti – nejde zacílit Swords to Plowshares).
Powder Keg – Hlavně na Tormodské Krypty a Phyrexianské Furnace.
Ray of Revelation – na Humilitu. Případně Planar Void. (Nedej bože, že by na vás někdo vytáhl Ivory Mask :o ).
Jak to hrát?
Pokud znáte základní princip, tak na tom není víceméně nic extra složitého. Snad jen mít přehled o balících, aby případná Terapka na blind měla nějakou možnost hitnout kartu, co vám vadí. Většinu her vám může vyhrát to, že oponent nebude tušit, co hrajete, čím zabíjíte… (Nečetl-li tento rozbor ☺ ) A dost často ani balíčky nemají v první hře žádnou protizbraň.
Co tomuto decku vadí?
Samozřejmě je to grave-hate typu Tormod´s Crypt, Phyrexian Furnace, Planar Void, Coffin Purge… Neboť když je jediný Bailiff removnutý z hrobu, tak je konec.
Poté samozřejmě Humilita, která merfolka vypne.
Dobře trefený Meddling Mág koupí čas, a druhý už rozhoduje. Oponent, co tuší, vás dvěma Medláři dehonestuje…
Dobrý decklist hraje v základu Ray of Revelation (na Humilitu) a Goblin Bombardment, kterým můžeme pomocí dvou Gamekeeperů Meddláře sestřelit. A Bombarďákem samozřejmě sestřelíme i oponenta, který hraje třebas maindeck:
Gaea´s Blessing – balíčky s Blessingem nedokážeme semlít.
… Taktéž nám úplně nehraje do karet, pokud G-Keeper Bailiffa otočí hned z vršku (Jirka ví, o čem je řeč ☺ ), aniž byste měli Animaci/Tanec. Protože je taky účel, že gejmkíprování do Merfolka vám nějaký počet LEDek, Petalů a očarování mrtvých potvor semele do hrobu, aby je Bailiff vrátil a bylo GG.
Finálový duel, aneb Kdo si rychleji složí skládačku :o

Jak vidno, jedná se o neobvyklý kombodeck, jaký máte možnost si zahrát. Má to snad jen lehký finanční háček. 4 Intuice už nejsou nejlevnější… Ale Lion´s Eye Diamond je ještě o několik levelů výše. Pokud však třeba již déle na Legacy hrajete Storm anebo Dredge, tak tímto nástrojem už disponujete ☺
Super článek! Bublina je v decku právě proti blessingu, solitary confinement a masce. Dost často deck vyhrává i na beat down reanimovanýma bytostma protihráče (po terapce). Každopádně pokud se jmenujete Jiří Čermák jako já, tak ten deck nehrajte. Bailiff na vás bude čekat za každým rohem (gamekeeperem).
