If you can't beat them...

If you can't beat them...







As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them.


This format is proving to be
extremely hostile already, and for those of you who know me, you'll know
that I'm loving every second of it. The omnipotent Legendary Six
Samurai have already taken center stage for this format, followed
closely behind by Gravekeeper's and, more likely than not, X-Sabers. Of
course, in such a format I wouldn't dare to play anything that loses to
any of these meta decks. Hence I will be keeping Infernity as a casual
deck and a casual deck only.


So, you may be thinking, "What on
earth is Valafar up to this time?". If the image wasn't obvious enough, I
will be playing Gravekeeper's. My tastes point me towards control
decks, and Gravekeeper's are the best control deck that has seen the
light of day in years. With the ability to ruthlessly shut down your
opponent's plays and mercilessly pummel their opponents into dust,
Gravekeeper's were my deck of choice.


Whilst my second and third copies
of "Pot of Duality" will be annoying to attain, I will have completed
this deck within the next 2 or 3 months. Moving on, here is the deck
list I intend to use.

There are a few changes I may make
to the deck list. I may drop "Torrential Tribute" in favor of
"Compulsory Evacuation Device" like many other GK players. Additionally,
depending on how it tests, I may also drop the third "Gravekeeper's
Assailant".
