PRAISE THE SUN(NY SIDE UP)

THEY MAY HAVE BANNED THE SUNRISE, BUT THEY CAN NEVER BAN THE SUN!

We all thought Eggs was over, we all cried when our lord and saviour Second Sunrise was taken away and we could no longer praise its infinite glory, but all is not lost, with a dig through time and a bit of a Noxious Revival, Eggs and the ability to praise the gloriously incandescence of the sun is finally "viable" again.

The hay day of Eggs may be over, but those of us left in the dark by its absence still yearn for those 30 minute turns of pure praisin'. Going back to look at a time in eggs before Faith's Reward graced the format with its presence, I manage to delve into how Eggs was run with only the 4 return spells and while it may need god hand for that turn 2 victory, it seems to still be fairly consistent turn 4 - 5 with anything past that a certainty.

Win Cons are a bit more focused on killing in draw rather than Pyrite Spellbomb, which I may even remove, having Disciple of the Vault (Read Disciple of the Sun) being your best bet on a win, being able to kill your opponent without the need for all 4 Faith's Rewards. While still including Banefire as one last win con that can be more reliable in some situations to actually achieve you victory.

This deck doesn't quite meet the competitiveness of it's pre-ban version but it can still hold up quite well and I can promise you no one is going to be prepared for this at your local FNM, at least not at first.

For a primer on how to use Eggs, this one is in my opinion the easiest to understand:

Modern Eggs Primer

Bear in mind this is a pre Second Sunrise ban primer, but it will help you understand the combo.

Finally, any jolly cooperation from other Sunbros on how they recovered from the loss of their sun would be great as I am sure I missed how I can make this deck even more efficient at praisin' than it already is and if you found hope in this list give it a +1 so as to spread our suns wondrous glow to the world.

Praise the Sun! ~Solaire of Astora
