Magic The Gathering: Breakdown Precon By Doraemon on Nov 23, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

About Breakdown Precon

Breakdown is a deck centered around the fading mechanic of Nemesis. Fading is what can be called instant gratification. It gives you heavily undercosted creatures and spells but they do not last for long. It has excellent creatures like Blastoderm, woodripper and Skyshroud Behemoth. The deck also has cards likeWaterfront Bouncer and False Demise that recycle your fallen creatures.

How to beat the deck

Beating the deck can involve stall tactics like Propaganda, War Tax and Ensnaring Bridge. Once the creatures take too long, they wither and die.

The Verdict

This deck is well constructed and aimed at maximizing fading. I liked the concept and the addition of blue. This is a decent and useable deck.
