Notes & Combos
I’m in a small minority of people that really loves ftks so I was super happy to actually KoG with one. This deck has the 3 most important things for an ftk to actually be viable in my eyes: an answer to handtraps, something to do going second, and a backup plan. Against handtraps book of moon can protect yourself unless they handtrap the right place (which is either atlandis or crystal bell because booking them turns them off) but most players don’t know the chokepoint so book is usually able to let you play through a veiler. Some lists play 5 books but I cut 2 in order to play nagel’s protection which I found to be extremely important going second. Going second you have a few plays: you can try to boost a hound really big and attack under nagel’s for a quick otk, you can make underworld goddess and often win with just that, or you can play a really long grind game with delaunay and nagel’s. And finally the backup plan of gaia drake and one of the strongest endboard pieces in the game in the form of caesar is a very good endboard for the backup plan of an ftk after you brick or get handtrapped.
Anyway this deck will not last much longer and that is definitely for the better, it was fun while it lasted.
