Watch my hilarious new video wherein I make someone very sad by playing a ridiculously busted deck! 🤣
The Aegis of the Innocent should be renamed the Aegis of the Guilty- Guilty of making a card so good it completely invalidates any deck that does damage in chunks of 2 or less. (See: All aggro decks)
Light-Lock, as I used to call it, was pretty nutty and powerful in the past. With the Aegis, you now only need to reduce cards' strengths down to 1 instead of to 0 to lock a board! That means you now need 6 less strength reduction to lock a board AND even if it's not completely locked, you are barely taking any damage whatsoever as you plod along towards 6.5 mana where you will unleash hell on Earth, AKA, Blessed Ibis.
This deck was silly good before (and hard countered by certain decks, so it's still somewhat a meme) and now with the addition of Aegis, sheesh.
Look out, world! Here Ibis comes!
