Hush: Situational card to shut down a specific combo or counter play.It is likely that going the Cataclysm route – which offers an additional removal tool along with a cheaper method to push Overwhelm damage – is allowing the deck to close out games faster than the Taric version, especially against unfavored matchups that will shut you down in the late game. Cataclysm can at the same time act as your finisher – if played on one of your Overwhelm units, especially Pantheon.Īt the time of writing this article, Mono Pantheon is performing better than Taric Pantheon on the competitive ladder. The main difference between the two builds is that Mono Pantheon prefers Cataclysm over Golden Aegis, which acts as a removal tool, usually played to target your opponent’s key units. With Taric out of the deck, Pantheon is your main win condition, the multiple keywords he’ll gain will make it difficult for your opponent to kill him. Zenith Blade makes use of those high-statted units and turns them into win conditions. Usually, here you’ll find yourself leveling up your Pantheon faster than in the Taric version – by turn 7 or 8 you’ll already have a leveled-up Pantheon ready to dominate the board.īoth versions of the deck have a similar play pattern early on in the game, developing your Fated units, Saga Seeker and Wounded Whiteflame, and working on increasing their stats through the game. Instead of working towards setting up Taric on the board, you’ll just focus on targeting one of your units once per turn for a speedy Pantheon progression. Mono Pantheon omits Taric completely to enable a higher-tempo game plan. Blinded Mystic: Provides a buff on one of your units along with a Fated + Pantheon level-up trigger, but its ability to Silence followers might not find any use in some matchups.You can cut 2 Guiding Touch from the deck for Screeching Dragons. Screeching Dragon: Challenger 5 mana unit, allows you to kill pesky units on the board that help progress your opponent’s game plan.Hush: a situational card that can be useful in the mirror matchup to shut down Wounded Whiteflame or Pantheon.You can cut Guiding Touch for Bastion but I wouldn’t advise running more than one. It’s a heavy mana commitment for a midrange deck that might not find a use in some matchups.
Bastion: a protection tool to keep your win condition unit alive.Once leveled, Pantheon turns into the main win condition, demanding an immediate answer from your opponent. The Barrier allows for a defensive play to shut down your opponent’s attack plans, and playing Pantheon early on also allows you to work on activating the Fated keyword and increasing his stats.
In some scenarios, you might find yourself playing our Pantheon before level-up. If one of your Fated units has the Overwhelm keyword, those chump blockers won’t even matter much. The additional attack puts immense pressure on your opponent, especially if they don’t have enough chump blockers. Relentless Pursuit or Golden Aegis on Taric will trigger a second Rally effect once you start an attack with Taric supporting another unit. Additionally, Taric can act as a win condition in himself, as his level 2 can be incredibly problematic for your opponent.īut what makes Taric truly shine is his interaction with Rally cards. For example, Zenith Blade played on Taric can set up for a solid swing with both Taric and the supported unit gaining the Overwhelm keyword. Taric acts as a support champion early on, allowing you to maximize the effect of a buff spell played.
Your goal is to progress the level-up condition of Pantheon while also buffing up units with the Fated keyword. On each turn, you’ll be trying to target one of your units with cards like Gems (created by Mountain Goat), Chain Vest, Pale Cascade, or Sharpsight. Let’s start off by talking about Taric Pantheon! The archetype existed as Poppy Taric in the past, but after the Magic Misadventures expansions added Pantheon to the champion roster, players quickly included him in the deck along with a couple of new cards.Įarly game you’ll be looking to play your cheap units like Saga Seeker, Mountain Goat, or Wounded Whiteflame.
