Xmucane and Xpiacoc Maize Origin is a Devotion Prophecy Avatar. This is a Sacrifice deck that utilizes trading your Champions in for greater benefits with the intention of bringing them back for greater value. This deck has a high curve but utilizes Influence manipulation to make it feasible through different phases of the game. For instance Xmucane and Xpiacoc’s Avatar Power is “Sacrifice a champion. The next champion you summon this turn costs X less to summon where X is the sacrificed champion’s influence cost”. Further playing into Influence manipulation Xmucane and Xpiacoc’s RUSH Ability is “Choose X allied players. Each of those players gain an exerted influence from their influence deck.” This is the first time a permanent ramp effect has been introduced in Rush of Ikorr.

Furthering the trend of Influence manipulation are cards like Sap of the Severed Head and Xquic Blood Maiden allowing you to gain Influence for sacrificing Champions. The Grim Calabash Location card reads “ACTION – Sacrifice a champion: Refresh X where X is the sacrifice champion’s influence cost.” This will help get higher costing cards out sooner in the game, while allowing you to more deliberately plan the Champions you are going to sacrifice. Stargazer will gain you 1 Influence for the turn at no cost and no regret as it is an ideal card to sacrifice.

Cards that use the power of Reanimate to recoup the costs of sacrificing champions are a key component to this deck. Bennu Brilliant Return and the Enduring Spirit Infusion card are a few that we have included in this deck. However, get the Royal Necropolis Location into play and all allied Champions gain Reanimate. With two Locations to choose from in this deck we’ve added in Kukunochi Towering Grove to add protection to those high-cost Champions on the battlefield. Utilize Curse of the Defiler to “Summon target champion from your graveyard. It Gains Swift. During the end phase, destroy it” to get your other sacrificed Champions out of your graveyard.

Since this deck is primed with Influence manipulation you can get the heavy hitter Fabled Champions out earlier in the game. We’ve included cards like Ammit Soulgorger, Polyphemus Blind Devourer, Chaac Rainbringer, and Thousand – Armed Kannon to finish off the last bit of hope of victory your opponents had.
