Artificer’s Intuition Deck Tech W/ Gregory Hatch from SCG Invitational

Back in my article about potential sleepers in KTK here’s what I said about Altar of the Brood:

It took a while, Amulet of Vigor ended up finding a deck and become the broken combo piece it always had potential to be and even though the deck is fringe and not very good, simply finding this tier 3 home pushed foil copies of Amulet of Vigor to over $10, where they still sit today.

I believe that eventually, this is what will happen with Altar of the Brood. Someone will figure out some janky combo, take a modern or legacy event by storm, and the price of Altar of the Brood will spike. Will this happen by the release of FRF? I have no idea, but I would be surprised if it did not happen eventually – and even if it never does, mill is another thing that makes casuals “sploosh,” so in the long run Altar of the Brood is likely a winner either way.

Thanks to Gregory Hatch designing a deck which he compares to “spending two months in his basement writing a novel” it looks like I might not only be right, but that the arrival of Altar of the Brood as a broken eternal combo piece did indeed come before the release of Fate Reforged.
