Black/Green Forced Block and Combat Damage Triggers
Hot Soup by David Palumbo
Gorm the Great and Virtus the Veiled are looking for a fight, and they’re not about to take “no” for an answer! Strike Team is all about forcing combat, blasting through your opponent’s puny defenses, and reaping value triggered by combat damage! Use combos like Thicket Basilisk + Lure or Gorm + Basilisk Collar to clear the board of blockers, or use the evasion abilities granted by Zephyr Boots and Hot Soup to dodge them.
Need a different tactic? Labyrinth of Skophos can remove blockers from combat, and the combo of Toski + Lure can keep your opponent’s blockers occupied indefinitely while the rest of your strike team leaps in for the kill. Contagion Clasp is here to give Necropolis Regent and Froghemoth a boost and offers an alternate strategy to flood the board with Hapatra’s deathtouch snake tokens while draining your opponent’s creatures with -1/-1 counters.
Go team!
