Spells / Re: Pacify... What for?
« on: February 11, 2016, 10:22:56 AM »
I run a priestess that uses pacify to support a divine intervention rush. Turn 1 I bring out Sir Corazin and Ring of Asyra. Turn 2 has him in my opponents zone attacking (via Divine Intervention) and my priestess double moving. Turn three my priestess moves and drops one face up pacify and a mongoose agility on sir corazin. Another pacify or two can follow on turn 4 depending on number of creatures. From there I adjust my strategy depending on how opponent reacts.
I like the combo because it leaves the opponent with difficult choice. They can attack Sir Corazin for 2 mana a pop knowing he may just defend it. Or he can move his creatures to go after my priestess while leaving his mage to deal with a double-striking Sir Corazin. The guarding option is eliminated due to mongoose and if they stay to attack it is 2-6 mana that the mage won't have.
There are certainly ways to counter this strategy but I found it to be an effective way to gain momentum.
