Stick an Earthen Protector and Aeon together as soon as you can, then back them up with a Ghostmaker for the ultimate humiliation. Play your draw on T4, whether that be a Wizent's Staff or Tainted Oracle, and fill up your hand for the lategame.
#SHADOW ERA DRAW ENGINES FULL#
Follow it up with a Jasmine, Smite, Retreat, Book of Curses, whatever it is that gives you full control of what happens on the board.
The basic formula is to get threats down, preferably a T2 Puwen if you draw him. Instead, this deck has a suite of early board control options, which serve both to provide much needed tempo and also to distract from your own life total enough to get value out of Wizent's Staff, whereas in the original you often needed all that SE just to stay in the game. The old TO draw engine was powerful, but had flaws, mainly that you sacrificed a LOT of tempo to get it running, and also that by not drawing extra cards until T5 your sac choices were very difficult. Stay alive, have a two draw per turn average, and then make blowout power plays with Tidal Wave, Earthen Protector, and Ghostmaker that win you the game. However, the core of ZhannaX is the same. Tainted Oracle, one of the deck's iconic staples that finally saw play with the release of the original ZhannaX, is now trimmed from the deck, replaced with something new entirely. With this, ZhannaX as we once knew it died.īut it has been reborn. However, 1.5 changed, or rather fixed, how Kris interacted with the weapon so it would no longer be a hasty beater upon revival. There was a change due to a meta shift which put a big focus on Kristoffer Wild, which was abusable both with kp AND ghostmaker. ZhannaX 2.0, published in 1.3 era, didn't change too much from the original, as many of the deck's original cards hadn't been altered. The endgoal of 1.29 Zhannax was to survive the first ten turns of the game, while drawing enough cards to be able to sac each of those turns, and then make a huge power play with cards behind a Tidal Wave or protector.
In 1.29, this meant a Tainted Oracle attrition engine with The King's Pride to make ghosts more resilient and turn TO and Kris into lategame threats. Now, how does ZhannaX work? It's Ghostmaker control. I've changed the list to change with the times not once but twice, and today I give you ZhannaX 3.0 The deck had a fairly large following, praise varying from both from a unique play experience to a powerful, versatile list, but the game has changed in such a way since then that the original ZhannaX is rather obsolete.
