Deck of the Month: May 2011: Turbo Nergal

This month's deck is the tournament winning deck "Turbo Nergal" played by Tomàs López Jiménez. The deck is rather new mutation of an Turbo deck (at least this is the first time it came to my attention), this time not based on the Soul Gem of Etrius and Daring the Dawn uses the Eternal Mask and Call the Great Beast instead (with Nergal as the key vampire). The best description how the deck actually works is given by the player of the deck himself:
Nergal Bleed, Nergal call the Great Beast, Nergal activate the Great Beast (Nergal burn), Great Beast bleed, Great Beast Eternal Mask to Nergal with all the blood and daring inferior (Great Beast burn). Repeat until game win.
The only drawback of the deck is its repetitiveness (due the small number of different cards) and complete devotion to the combo, which may led to a rather boring games (even for the players). On the other hand I appreciate the original idea and the execution of the idea which led to the tournament win.

The new mutation is quite old in fact. The Eternal Mask replaced Possession + Rave of the earlier versions, but that was quite a long time ago.
I wrote an article about the turbo decks (they are legion ;) that was published in july 2010. If you read french, you can find it here:

Part 2 is written, but I wanted to add figures before publishing it, and it's not done yet.

In the meantime, you can discover some infamous ideas such as the turbo Jacob the Glitch deck (the latest addition to the turbo decks).
