Despite the rather low numbers of tournaments in June, there were quite a number of interesting decks present in tournaments. Two classic Presence Vote decks are among them, namely the
Lasombra Presence Vote deck by
James Messer and the
Tzimisce Presence Vote deck by
Brett Schofield. Some new aspects show the following four decks:
But this month's deck is the tournament winning deck
El traumatologo del dolor played by
Luis Fonseca (Spain). Although it looks like a typical super star deck, the deck has some potential for enhancing
Mictlantecuhtli's sidekicks, most notably by using
Biotaumathurgical Experiments. The basic idea is to equip
Mictlantecuhtli with
Talbot's Chainsaw (preferably by using Magic of the Smith) and then start (multi-)rushing other minions. Because of
Mictlantecuhtli's special ability the deck doesn't have to worry about the damage that
Talbot's Chainsaw deals to a minion you control in the untap phase; he's just immune to weapon damage .. Another interesting fact to note is that the half combat section consists of damage prevention cards, and the other half is
Immortal Grapple &
Taste of Vitae. No fancy Animalism or Protean combat cards, as one would expect when facing
Mictlantecuhtli.
