Dear Bonecaller Cleric, 

<3

Two days ago I jumped into a Rabbit Hole of updating my cube that is an ode to all the great brews my friend Micha-el used to make: Mich Masters. Back in Extended Micha-el used to play a Cleric tribal deck. His favourite line was turn 1 Dark Supplicant, into turn 2 Withered Wretch, into turn 3 Rotlung Reanimator. Then he would sacrifice his 3 Clerics, getting Scion of Darkness and take over the game from there. This playpattern is also captured in Mich Masters

In this cube this was always a difficult play pattern to be fair. Because rares only have one copy in the cube, getting the Scion of Darkness wasn’t a given, that was until the 8th of July of 2022. With the release of Double Masters 2022 Scion of Darkness got an uncommon reprint. But since I hadn’t updated this cube since that time, I never moved Scion of Darkness to an uncommon slot in that cube. Until now that is.

Having access to 2 Scion of Darkness makes this Dark Supplicant line so much more potent. And during one of the many Scryfall searches I did in my time in the Rabbit Hole I found me a hidden gem. That gem is you, Bonecaller Cleric. Because you are a Cleric, and you create another amazing line with Scion of Darkness. Playing you on turn 2, Cycling Scion of Darkness on turn 3 and then activating your ability on turn 4 is a perfect sequence. Now all that is left is to have Micha-el to discover this play pattern during a draft. Because that smile on his face during these types of perfect sequences is what made me build this cube in the first place. 

With love, 

Hanjo
