| | |
| '''Pandemonium''' is a [[Theme deck (preconstructed)|theme deck]] from ''[[Apocalypse]]''. It features the [[Apocalypse#cycles|Penumbras]] [[vertical cycle]].
| |
| | |
| {{cquote|Having trouble deciding which color to play? With the "Pandemonium" deck, you can avoid the issue by playing all the colors. Your opponents will cower in fear as you unleash a variety of different threats. And with the Apocalypse set's Penumbra creatures at your disposal, the threats continue long after the cards go to your graveyard.
| |
| | |
| Playing the "Pandemonium" deck is all about being able to get the right mana. Multicolored decks can be tricky to play because you'll often draw spells of one color and lands that produce another. By using mana-fixing cards such as <c>Lay of the Land</c> and <c>Harrow</c>, you get the colors you need when you need them. <c>Gaea's Balance</c> can also fix any color deficiency, but be careful if your opponent has any counterspells. If Gaea's Balance is countered, you'll have already sacrificed five lands and you won't get them back.
| |
| | |
| In most games you won't have anything to attack with for several turns. That's okay-you'll be busy getting all five basic land types so you can play your more powerful spells. The Penumbra creatures provide early defense, and with their back-from-the-dead ability, you shouldn't hesitate to trade one for another creature in combat. Because your opponent can sometimes bring out a whole swarm before you play any threats, don't be afraid to play a card like <c>Emblazoned Golem</c> early, before you can pay its maximum [[kicker]] cost. The same is true for the "[[domain]]" cards. <c>Tribal Flames</c> kills a 2/2 creature when you have two kinds of land in play just as well as it does when you have all five.
| |
| | |
| The "Pandemonium" deck has several weaknesses. It's vulnerable to [[flying]] creatures, and it doesn't do well against decks focused on controlling the board. To give the deck some sharper teeth in the late game, as well as to help against control decks, consider adding <c>Urza's Rage</c>. If you're still having problems, try adding some more utility cards, such as <c>Allied Strategies</c> or <c>Exotic Curse</c>. Finally, if you want to get serious, think about adding a creature that will make other players jump when it hits the table. Maybe <c>Cromat</c> would get your opponent's attention.<ref>[http://www.wizards.com/magic/displaythemedeck.asp?set=apocalypse&decknum=2&lang=aa Official Deck Page]</ref>}}
