”Just smile and wave, Jace, smile and wave.” -Ugin, 1945. Colourized. Probably.
Sometimes I’m lazy, and I don’t want to attack the opponent. I just want to sit there until the game is over. This deck has the ability to attack, but I prefer not to.
This deck is a casual deck that
I’ve ported to Modern as best I can.
My ideal plan is, obviously, using
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
's ultimate to end the game (I didn't spend $45 on each piece of cardboard for nothing). However, I know how big of a target he is, so I've included
Wall of Denial
and some counter spells to help stave off the enemy, whether it's before or after Jace has left the battlefield. Elspeth Tirel + Herald of Anafenza
and their tokens are a back up plan, should Jace fail.
Prison Term
should help.
Idyllic Tutor
will help bring out an enchantment that’s needed, whether it’s
Detention Sphere
,
Martial Law
,
Prison Term
, or
Smothering Tithe
. These “taxes” will help slow the opponent, and will help
Azor's Elocutors
should their win-con be needed.
If you’ve ever seen Ivan Floch’s M15 Tournament performance, you’ll immediately recognize the importance of Quicken + Supreme Verdict
in my sideboard. I don’t run a creatureless deck currently, so that’s why I’ve left it in the side.
Caged Sun
is in the side in case
Sphinx's Revelation
should require more mana than can be diverted to it. Elixir is there for obvious reasons, then
Fog Bank
, and
Nyx-Fleece Ram
if more creatures are required to help defend.
