Sideboard


Maybeboard


This is a deck built around Isperia the Inscrutable and her ability to tutor flying creatures from the library. It’s the remnants of an old 60-card Blue/White Skies deck that I had and a few extras from my collection.

To aid Isperia’s effect, I have incorporated many “eyes” with which I can peek at my opponents hands, cards like Glasses of Urza and Gitaxian Probe. Another fun combo that in here is Sphinx of Jwar Isle and either Conundrum Sphinx or Djinn of Wishes to allow for some card casting advantage.

It’s still a work in progress, so please feel free to drop some suggestions in the comments!

***Note: the "sideboard" cards are cards that I have in my MTGO version of this deck. Wash Away replaces Cancel, Windstorm Drake replaces Ethereal Investigator, and the 5 lands are there to substitute Celestial Colonnade, Prairie Stream, Shimmering Grotto, Terramorphic Expanse, and Transguild Promenade.

After looking carefully at the deck list and seeing what was working, I decided to double down on a few synergies that were apparent in my build.

The biggest one was flying synergy: I opted to add more cards to pump out fliers that Empyrean Eagle, Kangee, Sky Warden, and Favorable Winds could beef up.

To that end, I added Emeria Angel and Ethereal Investigator. I like how landfall will usually trigger every turn (even twice a turn sometimes), so that seemed like a good strategy. Despite being off-theme, I like the way Ethereal Investigator works: its ETB effect can be abused with Venser, the Sojournerfoil or Galepowder Mage, but it keeps on giving even if you can’t blink it in and out (because I have some other card draw capabilities).

I also decided to add a Sphinx sub-theme with Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign to help keep costs down and with Alhammarret, High Arbiter for more control and to peek at opponents’ hands.
