Minu'thi-Ra

[Essence]

Minu'thi was an ancient Egyptian falcon-god of war. His name, meaning nomad, was originally a manifestation of the scorching effect of the sun-god, Ra, and as such often appeared under the epithet Minu'thi-Ra. The destructiveness of this characteristic led to him gaining characteristics of a warrior, and eventually becoming a war-god.

In Elements, a falcon-god of the scorching sun turns into this:

Minu'thi-Ra is a mad rush FG that relies on the indestructability of Minor Phoenixes and the heavy hitting of Crimson Dragons and Diving Wyrms -- but carries a few extra tricks up his sleeve.  A flaming sword and Wings to keep him away from his enemies, and a few big bombs to drop for the finishing blow.   All around, a decently fast rusher that will require a variety of defenses -- and multiple of them, with his Explosions -- to survive.

Very nice. I like the theme and I like the deck.

Sort of like a mixture of Eternal Phoenix and Octane, but it's definitely original. GJ.

I like this too. Not unbeatable since he has no CC (ok, there's UG...), but definitely strong.  duo with Otys and Firestorm could make a good counter. Add good healing (6x SoG?) and some deflags, you should be ok... if you survive the first rounds.

With a killer rush, 6 UGs, perm control and shields, this could be very hard. I would go entropy with BE for micro abominations, antimatter supported by SoGs and dragons to bypass wings. Splash mirror shields and maybe other cheap light cards and it should be all.
