GPリールのカバレッジよりスタンのサイドテク（自分用メモ）
2012年3月6日 マジック・構築 コメント (2)Sunday, 3:24 p.m. - Cool cards that people are playing
by Frank Karsten
As I walked around the venue and went through the decklists today, there were a couple of interesting cards that stood out to me as surprising, yet excellent choices for the current metagame. Here, I would like to highlight a couple of them.
You might think of Wrack with Madness as a fine removal spell in a draft deck. But several players are actually running it in their Standard decks! Amongst them is Matt Light from England, who clarified what was going on with Wrack with Madness by mentioning that he had cast it on his opponent’s Phyrexian Obliterator! Notice that Phyrexian Obliterator reads "that source’s controller sacrifices that many permanents"; and when the source is your own Phyrexian Obliterator ... well, you can imagine what happens. "He did not recover", Mark slyly mentioned.
If Zombies remains a force to be reckoned with in the future, be sure to pack some Wrack with Madness in your sideboards!
Witchbane Orb appears in the sideboards of several players here in Lille. It’s a non-traditional card, but it seems to be a very good way to protect yourself from Curse of Death’s Hold, Liliana of the Veil, and Nephalia Drownyard when playing against Blue-Black Control.
Several Humans lists have opted for Elite Inquisitor as their two-drop of choice – if you expect many Huntmaster of the Fells and Zombie decks, it is probably the best two-drop available. Be sure to keep it in mind!
Act of Aggression found its way in the sideboards of multiple Day 2 decks, and I overheard many interesting uses for it throughout the day.
The main one was relayed to me by Victor van den Broek. Suppose that you are playing a Red-Green mirror match; your opponent is on the play with a turn 3 Huntmaster of the Fells, and you return with a turn 3 Huntmaster of yourself. Your opponent then passes the turn without a play, planning to kill your Huntmaster with his flipped Ravager of the Fells (the non-active player’s flip always resolves first). But if you manage to respond to your opponent’s "transform Huntmaster of the Fells" trigger by taking control of it with Act of Aggression, you actually get the "deal 2 damage" trigger, allowing you to kill your opponent’s Wolf token and swing with two 4/4 Ravagers, completely turning the game around.
But Act of Aggression has several interesting uses as well. For instance, did you know that if you steal an opponent’s Loyal Cathar and it somehow dies that turn, you actually get the transformed Unhallowed Cathar in play? You don’t have to give it back to your opponent! (This "trick" does not work with Undying creatures however, as the Undying ability references its owner, not its controller as on Loyal Cathar.)
Finally, you could steal a game against Frites by playing Act of Aggression on their Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, immediately killing all their Birds of Paradise and tokens from Lingering Souls, and allowing you to swing in for the kill with their own Legend.
Included as a one-of Green Sun’s Zenith target in Robert van Medevoort’s Mono-Green Aggro deck, Skinshifter fills many interesting roles that you might not have thought of: it not only allows you to intercept a flyer by becoming a 2/2 Bird but it can also shut down an opposing Phyrexian Obliterator by becoming a 0/8 Plant.
特に興味を引いたのはファイレクシアのマツショー専用サイドことWrack with Madness。
除去って5個生贄強制だから実質1:6交換だもんな。
Φマナハリケーンもそうだけど採用した奴天才ですよねｗ

Wrack with Madnessはマジで天才ですねｗ
ドラフト専用の除去程度にしか思っていなかったので目から鱗でしたねー。
勝手ながらリンクさせていただきましたー。
カバレッジ見てて最初見間違えかと思って2度見しましたｗ
