In keeping with the buddy-theme from this set: what better buddy duo than Buzz and Woody
Turian: One of the great things about this release is that we were creating brand new cards for these scenes, so yes, that let us customize the cards and their abilities to best fit the scene
That said, Steve Wolfman top 8ed that Pro Tour with the most unusual list among them, a Bant Ramp deck that bore a lot of resemblance to Gifts Ungiven decks, but instead of playing Gifts Ungiven, he just played Umezawas Jitte instead: Creatures (18) 4 Sakura-Tribe Elder 1 Patron of the Kitsune 1 Hokori, Dust Drinker 2 Meloku the Clouded Mirror 4 Yosei, the Morning Star 3 Orochi Sustainer 1 Myojin of Cleansing Fire 2 Kodama of the North Tree Lands (22) Spells (20) In many ways, his list really played out like a post-sideboard version of Gifts, making little decisions to try to maximize that part of the experience, rather than much around with any of the Cranial Extraction or Hana Kami stuff
At the very best, youre getting an 8/8 with trample for 5 mana, another wurm from your hand with your newfound pseudo-Phyrexian mana, and a +1/+1 counter across the board, plus another wurm off of Baru, Wurmspeaker if you can swing it
Seems like a sure fit for a mono-black devotion deck
