Vampires are true Martyrs

[Hitei]

After seeing the martyr ability, I tried weird things to make the martyr stronger in weird ways.

The first try was using auburn nymphs plus gravity pull so the martyr "grew" quickly, but found out that... it doesn't really work because its super delayed so it will never have a chance to attack. then I tried feeding them crappy food so they were full of parasites but then the quanta pool was quite janky (3 elements or more)

Then I decided to just flip the table and change the parasites with old fashioned Black Nymphs, since it reduced greatly the amount of elements to play (no longer having a need for death quanta)

I suppose it could be improved, since its too slow for upped. my guess is that it would be better on a "dark control" type deck with a splash of light. (cheap effects)

Looked up what martyr decks I had, never came across a build I quite liked, cg posted https://etg.dek.im/forum/index.php?topic=866

FYI Surgeon removes the delay (Bubble shield probably does too), so something like this "works":

It's slow and bad but at least the martyrs get to attack.

Ironically the gravpulls are the weak points of the deck: yes the martyrs grow fast, but they also die fast unless you constantly supply them with BBlood. Maybe the deck would work better after all with brown nymphs.

For BB combo, instead of gp, go Equalize

I beat a champ with this once

With Sadism now having mend, Naii was finding finding this deck working as duo

Martyr change makes AA support a lot more immediately impactful
