It’s of absolutely no surprise, therefore, that Faceless Menace was the deck I played and enjoyed the most of the four new precons.
Here are some brief reflections on the deck itself – perhaps slightly biased towards my preferences. I always chose to use Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer as the Commander because of its card draw and cost reduction abilities. She effectively turbo-charges the deck’s sneakier elements, which lends itself to my preferred way of playing games. Rayami, First of the Fallen seemed a bit too much of a Voltron-esque strategy which I am less fond of. I also thought having to exile my own stuff would cut down on opportunities for recursion later in the game. Volrath, the Shapestealer seemed decent, but I thought it looked much more obvious than obscure. In summary, I think the selection of Morph creatures that come with the deck is very good. There are a decent number of them, and they have a good range of different tricks to keep your opponent guessing and on their toes. The addition of cards like Ixidron and Thieving Amalgam add more layers to the possible faceless strategies. Using face-down creatures is inherently sneaky, but my favourite creatures in this deck are the ones that push that style of play even further, namely: Kadena’s Silencer, Chromeshell Crab, Kheru Spellsnatcher, Vesuvan Shapeshifter, and Willbender. Most of the instants and sorceries are generic effects that support the deck’s ability to set up mana or efficiently remove troublesome permanents.
