![]() Sure occasionally it is awkward to have to sac Ghast to Anowon, the Ruin Sage but meh. But I wouldn't run Maskwood in this deck, not even as a token outlet, because the deck's vampire payoffs simply aren't worth the slot. That deck absolutely runs some non-vampires Reassembling Skeleton for the aristocrat memes, Sheoldred, Whispering One as a powerful finisher, Crypt Ghast for mana doubling. ![]() On the other side of the spectrum, I have a deck like Mirri the Cursed vampires. I think specifically of Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow and Atla Palani, Nest Tender - we may also see it somewhere in a deck like Kaseto, Orochi Archmage (although I think we are at a point where there are enough Sneks to make that deck work without it). As an off-shoot of the above, decks with a tribal commander where that "tribe" isn't well supported enough. This is most obviously decks like Reaper King or Morophon, the Boundless changeling and lord tribal, but to a lesser extent you could look at folks like Rin and Seri, Inseparable (make all your cats also dogs!). There is often a component of changing/adding the appropriate creature type ( Olivia Voldaren, The Scarab God), but that is relatively recent, and there are more that do not amend the type line ( Geth, Lord of the Vault, Yasova Dragonclaw).Īs everyone else has said, I personally find that Maskwood Nexus (and its color-locked precursors like Conspiracy, Xenograft, Arcane Adaptation, and to a lesser extent Unnatural Selection) are rarely good in dedicated tribal decks either you are able to field enough creatures in tribe that you don't need it, or you aren't and this isn't enough since the deck would then fall apart if you never drew these enablers. that have a strong component of copying and/or stealing opponent creatures. The term 'activation phrase' comes from the concept of sleeper agents, which are a trope of spy and thriller fiction. ![]() There are a few tribes like Illusions, Shapeshifter (see below), Vampire, Zombies (some builds - so huge this is easily avoided), etc. So if, for example, you wanted a Saproling deck that was also mostly Fungus creatures (but not all) and you wanted the Fungus Lords, Saproling Lords (and maybe some Elf Lords, since more than a few elves make saprolings) you might justify this so that you can give all of your buffs to all of your creatures.ģ) Shapeshifter/Theft decks. This includes things like k, Servo/k, k, etc. Tribal Tribal where you specifically want changelings and/or to give all creatures changeling to exploit buffs for more than 1 creature type.Ģ) Non-Type-Line tribal. That said, my experience with Maskwood Nexus has been that there are three types of tribal decks that want to consider it:ġ) All Creature tribal (e.g. I also wrote the Variant guide for Tribal EDH (See here). I build Tribal (in the true sense) almost exclusively (37 of my 40 current decks are based on creature type).
