oath of the gatewatch II secondary objectives

snow_leopardd

I know it should be easy, but on the walker of wastes I can't seem to beat it in 4 turns. Six I can do. I have tried burn, green aggro... neither has worked. Anyone have anything faster?

Takes a SUPER fast deck and a lot of luck, but I've managed it using Nahiri filled with all haste creatures and burn spells.

Ignore his creatures and just focus on putting out as much damage as possible.

tm00

Did it with chandra 1
List:
Volcanic rambler
Reckless bushwacker
village messenger
chasm guide
Belligerent whiptail
weldfast monitor
turn againts
start your engines
uncaged fury
devour in flames.

Add stuff like the devil spell and good burn if you have it obv.
nahiri could also help with a good cascade.

That had been my approach using Chandra 1. Ill try with Nahiri.

Goldnight Castigator if you have it

I beat it in 2 turns. Granted, I got lucky. I cast Emrakul and Reckless Bushwacker with Koth on turn one.

Same here. Turn 1 Olivia + Uncaged Fury followed by another Uncaged Fury on turn 2. Obviously it was total luck of a strong hand and a great opening board.

Yvendros

Nahiri
t1: load mirrorpool, uncaged fury
t2: bushwacker, use uncaged fury (20 damage)
t3: 2nd bushwacker, use 2nd uncaged fury (28 damage)

a little luck, sure. but even without mirrorpool, that would have been 32 damage by end of t3.

I did it with a Chandra 2, due to slightly better mana gains (+5 mana for red matches, +3 for black at level 36). I think a Chandra 1 with access to at least tier 3 (gem destruction) on her first ability would be almost as good.

Cards were:

Creatures:
Volcanic Rambler
Bomat Courier
Dust Stalker
Speedway Fanatic
Village Messenger

Spells:
Furious Reprisal
Demolish
Uncaged Fury
Act of Treason

Support:
Aether Hub

- I was lucky and got my Bomat Courier out on turn 1 (total 24 damage over 4 rounds).

- I landed a Volcanic Rambler on turn 3, and cast a Furious Reprisal, giving me 4 damage on turn 3 and another 5 when Rambler attacked on turn 4 (another 9, for 33 damage over 4 rounds); I luckily also drew an Uncaged Fury.

- I cast the Fury on the Bomat Courier on turn 4 and that was enough to put me over the top.

I'm stuck on Kozilek - need the 2 ribbons objective - anyone has any idea how to deal with that one?

EDIT:
Just did that with Kiora, if anyone needs the deck:
Shrine of the forsaken gods
Harbinger of the tides
Nissa's pilgrimage
Fertile thicket
Herald of the Pantheon
Claustorphobia
Lashweed Lurker
Prism Array
Reflector Mage
Nissa's revelation (just to make sure I don't die, only charged one, copies were exiled, always disabled)

Lots of creatures and supports. Have you tried Nahiri Zoo or Jace 2 with Contraband Kingpin?

For clearing the board without spells: defenders/berserkers (they'll last longer if you can grow them - they can have built-in growth like U. Hydra or you can rely on pw skills - Nahiri's 1st and 3rd, Arlinn, J2 3rd, Koth 3rd, Dovin 3rd etc.), special skills/supports that deal damage (Wolf of Devil's Breach, Tyrant of Valakut, even Thopter Pie Network), creatures with bounce (Harbringer of Tides, Reflector Mage etc. - they'll be more reliable with lots of draw and decent mana gains that'd let you cast them fast), pw skills - both Chandras, Ob etc. Supports with Disable or Destroy can be very helpful too (Suppression Bonds or Underhanded Designs to name just two). Zombie deck with Prized Amalgam, Diregraf Colossus, Graf Harvest and some Zombie token generators can also be a decent defense.

Keeping yourself alive: lifelink/lifegain (duh). Olivia and Gisela are obvious choices, but not everyone has them, so consider using Kingpin boosted by J2 3rd or Serene Steward in Nahiri Zoo. Green with Nissa's Renewal/Revelation or Arborback Stomper can also help, if you happen to have those.

Save your spell for emergency removal or Deploy, if you have it. If you have no other lifegain options, having a single Ondu Rising and pumping a 10+ base power creature with Nahiri's 3rd skill, then giving it lifelink can save your hide.

Another Deck Kozilek:

Nahiri

Lone Rider
Gisela
Angel of Invention (or really any Lifegain)
Serene Steward
Silver Strike
Other filler (never used any but those above)

Pump with +4/+4 every chance you get. The first strikers take care of anything with berserker or defender and they will get big fairly quickly.
