This time, the Ice King and his IcyLands deck take on Marceline’s
dark and crafty Useless Swamps & NiceLands deck. The excitement is
mounting, as players speculate on the direction in which the first
all-new Landscape will take.
IcyLands Creatures are all about attacking directly. They would
prefer to avoid attacking other Creatures. One way they can find some
clear Lanes to attack down is through Frozen tokens – an all-new
addition to the game. Through various means, these chilling tokens can
be placed onto your opponent’s Landscapes. Opponents will find playing
Creatures onto Frozen Landscapes rather difficult. Where the Ice King
finds an opening, he will strike as hard as a blizzard!
Marceline’s deck is a Useless Swamps & NiceLands deck. This is
the first time that NiceLands has been paired with another Landscape
type, and the chemistry is going to burn hot! The Useless Swamp side of
the deck is themed around denial, discard, and dirty tricks. Some of the
Useless Swamp Creatures are willing victims to your dark tidings. When
they go, they leave a lot of destruction in their wake.
The NiceLands side of the deck is themed around Creatures with
exactly 5 Damage on them. This is a tweak to the NiceLands strategy as
seen in the original NiceLands deck. There, the Creatures thrived with
various different amounts of damage on them. Now the trick is to get as
many of your Creatures as you can to have exactly 5 Damage on them. When
that happens, look out!
