Topic: Just for grins...
So I'm in the process of building my Krenko/Talrand pairing deck... but the thought came to mind that I might enjoy playing with those two fellows in decks that perhaps are a little less serious.
The first one is here: http://deckbox.org/sets/216935 - it borrows the Rootbound Crags and Strangleroot Geists from my Heroin Hero and Momm! He's Touching Me decks; the Krenko's Commands, Goblin Chieftains, and Krenko, Mob Bosses come from the Krenko/Talrand deck.
The goal here is simple, I can win one of two ways, I either drop them via an overrun of tokens (but what fun is that?) OR, more amusingly, I attack enough times with those tokens/Geists to charge Druids' Repository enough to win via Door to Nothingness. Four Rummaging Goblins help me burn through the deck to find what I'm looking for. 2x Elixir of Immortality allows me to dump things that might be useful later for the sake of getting it rolling, as I can cycle back to get them later.
My gut feel is that this would get destroyed at FNM, but I think the better question is, does anyone think I would be able to pull off at least 2-3 DtN wins? Because I really think that would make it worth losing a fair bit. Or, if you have thoughts as per to how to make this competitive, I'm game.
The second deck is here: http://deckbox.org/sets/216944
The second is another dual win-con deck. This one plays off Talrand, Sky Summoner and his merfolky and drake buddies to either beat the opponent to death; OR, I can mill my opponent to death via Mind Sculpt, Archaeomancer and Ghostly Flicker. I can flicker two Archaeomancers to get back two Mind Sculpts and cost the opponent another 14 cards.
I actually think this could be mildly competitive, but I would imagine I need to include some more counter-magic to really get to that point. I'm game to snag some Mana Leaks or Negates from other decks, but would want to know what to drop to make room. Realistically here, I just want to actually win a few games via mill, because, well, that'd be sweet (not quite DtN sweet, but fun nonetheless).
Again, the idea here is just to have a little fun with some cards I'm already looking to acquire for some more serious decks. But if either one strikes you as having some promise, by all means, let the discussion for how they could be good commence.
