Hidden Dragon Slayer is a human with lifelink that kills a creature with 4+ power. Does that fit into the human’s deck?
Well, for it to activate the human’s abilities you can’t use the destroy function (because it doesn’t enter the BTF when it gets unmorphed), that’s kind of a backdraw.
Chaz – Every BR (vampires) deck in the SCG vs videos have gotten destroyed and looked pretty meh. I know that’s a small sample size, but I’m curious to see if you took a different approach that warrants your enthusiasm towards the deck.
Also curious about this now that we have results from the SCG tournament. Wondering if the testing results were just off, or if there’s some secret tech in the vampires decks that people missed. Seems like a good time to buy if it’s the latter.
