Dead Guy Ale (BWu control)

Modern*

koey


This is a trial deck since the release of FateReforged. This is a deck that is evolved from my Token list which was an extension of majority of the Token stock list and based off the event deck.

This is a take on the lesser seen Dead Guy Ale B/W control deck which was running Pack Rats. I feel pack rats really need sustainable card draw for you to be able to constantly pump your board. Especially with the existence of Seige Rhino's now being run in GBw list it has made chump blocking a little harder.

Trial at Monastary Mentor in place of Pack Rat for advantage. (As a lot of the spells you cast are non-creature.)

Splashing blue to potentially pay blue for probe if needed and activate Tasigur's ability.

Testing Valorous Stance as protection and potential removal at the same time.

Sorin, Solemn Visitor for the life lost necessary due to Thoughtseize and Gitaxian Probe. Since with tokens he works really well and he is also able to trigger

Tried running a Darkblast and 1 extra Polluted Delta and 1 Flooded Strand as I was missing 2 Marsh Flat and a Valorous Stance.

Dark Blast interaction allowing you to target your own Monastery Mentor and dredge to cast either Tasigur or Tombstalker is interesting. Potential side board card against tokens or x/1 creatures.
