bravos

This week, I brought Atsadi & Surge to the ACE Week 5 tournament, where the deck went 4-1 in single-elimination for 2nd place out of 22. The deck The last time I played this deck. The deck has the same philosophy as last time: you can afford to play fast and loose with your resources since Atsadi’s hero ability will help you recoup the cards and then some. If you’re able to ramp enough, you can use your mana advantage to pass priority and play your large characters once your opponent is unable to react. ...

It’s been a while since I’ve played Bravos, so a new Dracaena (U) seemed a great excuse to bring Basira to the Monday A.W.O.L. weekly. I ended up finishing 3-3 for 18th of 47. The deck The last time I played this deck. This build is very similar to my last one. I haven’t been playing the deck much, so I can’t vouch for all of the cards I’m running. ...

The deck While Bravos might be playing too fair of a game compared to the other factions, what Basira & Kaizaimon have going for them are mana ramp, Haven, Bravos Bastion (R), and a robust set of commons. This deck tries to double-down on the explosive openings when you can ramp into a position to get maximum value out of your Havens. Bravos Bladedancer (C), Red (C), Ratatoskr (C), and Chiron (C) are staples that make filling out the 21 common slots unusually easy. ...

The deck By offering passive card draw to a go-big deck, Atsadi & Surge allow you to liberally play characters and spells that ramp you but put you at a card disadvantage. Where Mana Channeling (C) can leave other heroes out of steam if their large characters are dealt with, Atsadi & Surge can continue deploying threat after threat once they accumulate enough mana. Since Atsadi’s characters are expensive and his hero ability will draw him into plenty of them, he can afford to shore up his ramp-heavy starts with high-tempo but low-value plays. I’ve included full playset of Bravos Tracer (C) for a boost of fleeting stats and Issun-bōshi (C) to make your first gigantic character an even stronger play. ...
