Description

This Goldspan deck is very straight forward, you get treasures, and you play Goldspan Dragonimage. We also have Old Gnawboneimage in there as another big boi dragon we can find using Magda, Brazen Outlawimage's ability!

Another thing we are doing in this deck is stealing the opponents creatures with Price of Loyaltyimage and/or Shackles of Treacheryimage, swinging in and doing damage, and then sacrificing them with either Skullport Merchantimage, Deadly Disputeimage, or Village Rights.

We have Kalain, Reclusive Painterimage in this deck as a good way to make our Goldspan Dragonimage or Old Gnawboneimage bigger so we can hit for more damage! Xornimage also made the list since making more treasures is extremely beneficial.

Lastly we have our own small creatures than can be easily sacrificed such as Eyetwitchimage, Shambling Ghastimage, and Plundering Barbarianimage. This allows us to still get value from our "sacrifice and draw" cards even if we don't have treasures or steal the opponent's creatures.

This deck is great in principle, and idea, but it simply did not perform well. I need help to see what could make it better, as I think it has potential, just not much effectiveness as of now. I think maybe Lolth, Spider Queenimage can be considered in the deck since we are always sacrificing creatures, and it buys time if the opponent has flyers and we don't.

I ended up playing this on my YouTube channel to showcase how the deck works, and it did not go well, but if you'd like to see how it works, check it out thru the video/link provided with the deck! Have a freaking fantastic day!!


About SleepyJoeMTG

Hey what's up guys - It's your bro Joe and welcome to my Aetherhub! I have had a few YouTube channels in the past posting new, exciting decks for Magic the Gathering and MTG Arena. Recently I have started a new, and main, channel called Sleepy Joe (@imsleepyjoe). While I plan on posting content other than MTG Arena on that channel, I will have nearly daily decks coming out on my new favorites in Standard as well as other formats (probably...). If that is something you are interested in, you can go check me out at Sleepy Joe on YouTube. If that's not your thing, no worries! You keep having fun playing Magic :)
