I'll begin by saying that I am currently testing and molding this idea and welcome any and all feedback and suggestions. Please do not be shy because, to be quite honest, I haven't gotten off to a great start with this one and I've began questioning the viability of the overall idea.
As an advid Elemental player, I was very intrigued by
Exaltation since the release of Shattered Fates. With the additional discard support,
Xar Modulator immediately came to mind and ideas started flowing.
I wanted to take advantage of
Exaltation's massive benefits by abusing
Xar Modulator's free ability. Not only was this possible, but it could possibly be achieved prematurely thanks to additional discard support also offered by the Shattered Fates Expansion. In addition, I could also further benefit from taking advantage of and abusing
Xar Modulator's ability thanks to the additional Ravager tribesmen featured in Shattered Fates. Then, when going through the card list, I realized that a dusty old armor showed great potential in synergizing with this combo.
Morphic Armor.
So the basic turn sequence would go as follows;
T1 -
T2 -
Harbinger of the Lost (Possible
Exaltation discard)
T3 -
Cleric of the Asyn
T4 -
Xar Modulator
T5 -
Falseblood Cultist, discard Exaltation, draw two cards, retrieve
Exaltation via
Xar Modulator, swing
T6 -
Morphic Armor, destroy Exaltation (boosting Cleric of the Asyn) via Ravager Zealot for haste and swing, or destroy Exaltation (boosting
Cleric of the Asyn) via Spitfire Hound for direct damage, retrieve Exaltation via Xar Modulator, swing, activate
Morphic Armor, move Exaltation to Cleric (or any other readied ally), swing
T7 - Repeat
If you were lucky enough to discard Exaltation on T2, you'll be a turn ahead.
This all sounds good in theory, but apparently the meta laughs at a T5 setup and begins dismantling the pieces before they ever have a chance to come together.
I'll start off with a basic deck list and hopefully, through discussion and suggestions within the community, this idea can finally get off the ground.
