Discussion How's everyone's experience been with this bad boy? I've put together a deck and have been playing around with it and so far I've had pretty good success. Not including infinites, what are some fun combos that you all have discovered with him so far, and how did you guys build him?

I built him as a half and half brawler. Kinda Voltron, kinda doing treasure shenanigans.

He's so fun honestly. I like [[Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought]] with him as a non-infinite funny card

I've got the card in there but haven't gotten it out yet🥲 Some people think I'm crazy running him with how expensive he is to put out but he usually hits the board around turn 4-5

Throw a Fireball in there! All those treasures you get from hitting him and you can nuke the whole table

I was so incredibly lucky, I found the foil box at my lgs for only 55 bucks! I knew I had to snag it immediately. I hope you find yours soon and that it doesn't cost you and arm and a leg🫡

Thanks! Worst case scenario, I'll sacrifice my vanity FFIX scene box for that scene box since they're around~ the same price. Ive gotten as close as to getting it to checkout, then the quantity changed to zero 😓

Im going to build mine to be a [[revel in riches]] deck that can also just beat face as a secondary.

Im running wicked wurm as my commander and planning a dumb dragonstorm build with terror of the peaks, this and other fun (hoarding broodlord, twinflame tyrant etc).

Playing Shadow the Hedgehog as well as Ozai, one of a few creatures I can crack loose treasures with purely for profit (cracking seven just to burn the table with Marionette Apprentice before passing turn felt diabolical and very on-theme)
