Kiki Evolution

Modern*

Garrine


Sideboard


Kiki Evolution list. A few notes:

  • No chords. The nature of the deck has shifted towards not spewing out creatures, and running more 4 and 5 drops. It makes less of our deck searchable with this card, and even most of the time we can't search up anything more than a 2 drop. Sometimes still it becomes completely dead in hand.

  • 4x Lightning Bolt. This seems to be the new hotness with the deck, and I love it. Alongside path, 7-8 removal spells lets us survive better and control with more than just blockers. Lots of points for us vs aggro.

  • New gearhulk cards!

-Cataclysmic Gearhulk lets us keep him and another creature (and even a third if we have Courser out) and makes our opponent sac stuff. Against Affinity, Eldrazi, Zoo, and other wide strategies this is incredible value and usually does just as good, if not a better job than Pontiff usually does.

-Verdurous Gearhulk is great for our strategy because with Evolution and saccing creatures, this guy on ETB can be like a few free gavony activations for our team. He'll hardly ever be a 8/8 in that case, but the point is he is a big fatty that fattens up our team, and generates value immediately on board. There's also the trick with Kitchen Finks that feels pretty good. Sac finks to evo, he persists immediately, then you find your gearhulk, and on ETB he spreads out counters and cancels out the finks -1/-1. Sick.
