Aurelia becomes a curve topper and a game ender, and our early game curve becomes quite similar to the one I run in Kassandra, Eagle-Bearer, a Bracket 4 Equipment deck that seeks to combo out as fast as possible
In the right deck, it can be online potentially sooner than Traverse the Ulvenwald, making this the better card for the job
Journey into Nyx Standard | Michael Yee Creatures (16) 2 Archangel of Thune 4 Courser of Kruphix 4 Nyx-Fleece Ram 4 Sylvan Caryatid 2 Obzedat, Ghost Council Planeswalkers (1) 1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion Spells (20) 1 Ultimate Price 1 Devour Flesh 2 Bile Blight 3 Hero's Downfall 4 Abrupt Decay 3 Thoughtseize 3 Banishing Light 3 Underworld Connections Lands (23) 2 Mana Confluence 2 Temple of Malady 3 Overgrown Tomb 4 Godless Shrine 4 Temple Garden 4 Temple of Plenty 4 Temple of Silence Sideboard (15) 3 Blood Baron of Vizkopa 2 Deicide 1 Devour Flesh 1 Doom Blade 3 Duress 1 Erebos, God of the Dead 2 Golgari Charm 2 Sin Collector This is a Junk Midrange deck that actually started out as a fun, casual idea since I love synergies between my cards
So, how am I gonna feel good about playing down some totally normal, average, everyday trainer knowing that next turn Im gonna get hit with THIS
