M14 and Angus Mackenzie

The M14 pre-release is this weekend.  I plan on attending two pre-releases because I like playing and enjoy the people and place where I usually go.
Despite that, the set itself appears pretty lackluster.  Only 3 non-basics is a bit of a letdown.  I really would enjoy filter land reprints for EDH.

Speaking of EDH.  I had a rare chance to get a hold of a copy of Angus Mackenzie, Legends Bant Fog-Master.  I have been pondering (no pun intended) in what type of shell I best want to use Angus.

First I tries a Bant midrange disaster that doesn't even appear good on paper.

I then attempted to put him in a Legacy-style enchantress shell.  I was unimpressed, it super-sucked.

I looked at my not-so-vast collection of Foil cards in Bant colors (It is well known that I fully enjoy Foil cards) and Progenitor Mimic, Phyrexian Metamorph, Restoration Angel, Angel of Serenity, etc. caught my eye.

It is time to send in the clones, in a bant control shell.

Bant has several clone effects.
-Progenitor Mimic
-Clone
-Phyrexian Metamorph
-Phantasmal Image
-Sakashima, the Impostor
-Sakashima's Student
-Vesuvan Doppelganger
-Body Double
-Duplicant

Bant also has several fun things to make copies of.
-Terastodon
-Sylvan Primordial
-Angel of Serenity
-Avenger of Zendikar
-Armada Wurm
-Mulldrifter
-Reveillark
-Thragtusk

Bant also has several ways of "Blinking" creatures.
-Restoration Angel
-Flicker
-Venser, the Sojourner

I think we can all see where this is going.

So, I think I am going to use Angus as a Fog-Engine until I can assemble an army of stupidly powerful creatures.  More updates to follow.

Until next time.
