Hey- It’s Dong Yun reporting for the weekends. I just got shredded by person with ID of Episode (when you see him, congratulate him- he is creative) and am awed by his combo. It includes – wait for it – Mycosynth Lattice and Arcbound Crusher!

 



 

These are there to prove that brokenness is possible – possibility of creating 23/23 Trampler, which gets a +1/+1 for every card played (including lands, mind you). As well as giving other creatures boost when it dies! You could put together an entire deck around these, even 4 colours if you dare. So, here is my prototype deck – Latticed Arcbound

 

Latticed Arcbound - BUW
 

Lands

Creature Spells

Other Spells

2 Mirrodins Core

4 Seat of the Synod

4 Vault of Whispers

4 Cloudpost

4 Ancient Den

2 Plains

2 Swamps

2 Islands

4 Arcbound Crusher

1 Darksteel Colossus

4 Nim Lasher

1 Leaden Myr

1 Silver Myr

1 Gold Myr

4 Mycosynth Lattice

4 Annul

4 Fabricate

3 Wing Shards

4 Genesis Chamber

3 Irradiate

2 Darksteel Ingot

24 Lands

12 Creatures

24 Other Spells

 

This is only a rough outline of the deck. There are more insane combos to be used with these cards – Dross Scorpion and Sculpting Steel for example.

 

Another great combo with Mycosynth Lattice is Annul. Everything is an Artifact – have fun rejecting is Naturalize or Shatter with Annul. Genesis Chamber for additional boost to Arcbound Crusher, And when all you control is artifact and you have Nim in your hand, they seem so much more appealing. Wing Shard and Irradiate are in there purely for control – and laughing at your opponent when you give one of their creatures -17/-17 and force them to sacrifice the other creatures. Other cards are pretty much straightforward – mana boost. Oh, and Myr's and Colossus is there to make the game fun!

 

Another great addition to this deck will be to take out Cloudpost's and put in Red. This will mean insanity + despair for your opponent (as was to me) and put in – Shrapnel Blast and Shatter. One of other budget red choice would be Krark Clan Grunt, but I find Instants far too cool to make room for goblins.

 

However, that is my decision, and your mind is yours to make up. So, ‘till next time – have fun making your opponent powerless to stop you.
