Episode Brewing Animist for Competitive Sorcery Cover

Beschreibung

Is Animist actually competitive in Sorcery? In this episode, Zac and Phil break down Zac’s latest Mono Earth Animist brew ahead of the upcoming Excalibur Events 2Ks. Instead of playing another established top-tier list, Zac wants to prove that Animist has real competitive potential — and this build might finally get there. We discuss: • Why Animist is misunderstood • Turning spells into threats • Using ordinary sites like Necromancer • Why Lady Ísold might be the key card • Gargantula, Lord of Greed, and toolbox synergies • Why Atlantean Fate struggles against this build • The tension between card quality vs card quantity • How the deck attacks the current Gothic meta Cards discussed include: Lady Ísold, Gargantula, Lord of Greed, Rolling Boulder, Archangel Michael, Queen of Midland, Holy Nova, Craterize, Cave-In, Paladins of Baazia, Autumn Unicorn, White Wing Paladin, and more. We also talk about the upcoming Excalibur Events Sorcery tournaments and why supporting large competitive Sorcery events matters for the future of the game. Use code ZAC or PHIL if you’re attending!
