What Makes Bomberman Our Favorite Legacy Deck?
Modern Horizons in… Legacy?
Modern Horizons didn’t stop at just terraforming, you know, the Modern landscape with its Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis decks. Legacy is just staring to feel the impacts of this powerful new set.
Wrenn and Six is an amazing addition to Temur Delver. You thought Wrenn and Six plus Wooded Foothills was cute? Try Wrenn and Six plus Wasteland.
Wasteland puts itself into the graveyard, which is convenient for Wrenn and Six card advantage.
If you have these two cards working, the opponent will have to draw a land a turn just to keep pace. But of course an opponent who is drawing land every turn is kind of likely to fall behind, anyway. This new combo makes Temur Delver and Lands more powerful than ever.
What kind of world do we live in where there is an all-new Mono-Blue Urza, Lord High Artificer deck and it doesn’t come close to being our favorite.
Meet Bomberman.
Key Bomberman Combinations
With Auriok Salvagers on the battlefield you can play Lion’s Eye Diamond and sacrifice it for WWW.
1W of that WWW is used to retrieve the Lion’s Eye Diamond from the graveyard, netting the Bomberman one mana. You can do this over and over again, making any amount of mana.
So what do you do with all that white?
Bomberman can do this super quick, too!
Imagine this were your opening hand:
- City of Traitors
- Mox Opal
- Lotus Petal
- Lion’s Eye Diamond
- Auriok Salvagers
- [something]
- [something else]
You can play out City of Traitors, Mox Opal, Lotus Petal, and Lion’s Eye Diamond. The latter three cards (in total) give you metalcraft, allowing you to cast the Auriok Salvagers by sacrificing the Lotus Petal. So yeah, the Mox is “off” for at least a second, and Lotus Petal is gone to the graveyard.
But hey! You have an Auriok Salvagers. Now just sacrifice the Lion’s Eye Diamond and go off for infinite mana like we discussed, above. You’ll have to discard your last two cards, but if one is a Walking Ballista, no problem! You can get that back. Even a simple Mishra’s Bauble can draw you a lot of your deck, provided you piggyback off of the preceding infinite mana engine.
But yeah. First turn infinite mana. AND numerous backup plans.
