Sideboard


It's happening! At long last! We have Syrix, Carrier of the Flame, a Legendary Phoenix!

I had to build Syrix. I am a HUGE Phoenix fan and as soon as the spoiler dropped, I knew it had to be done.

The deck is a Tribal deck inspired by my username! Utilizing a Phoenix core and a small Ninja engine for removal and discard effects.

I'm utilising some reanimation effects as well as some cards that have leave graveyard and ETB triggers i.e. Desecrated Tomb and Warstorm Surge.

The deck will eventually be built in paper and playtested consistently from then. Once it is built I'll be working on getting a full-write up of the deck and its interactions sorted!

Any feedback and advice is always welcome, as are recommendations for tweaks to the list! Thanks.

After a lot of pondering, testing with different cards, and general thinking on how the deck should play, I've pushed this Syrix deck down from well over 150 cards at one point to a playable 100-card list. This includes a separate 15-card sideboard that has more evasion and combat-themed cards, as the main deck is a little more focussed on the GY interactions and Phoenix/Ninja triggers.

Since reaching 100 cards, I've made a minor change, which is the addition of Phyrexian Tower to the landbase, which somehow I missed. It's a phenomenonal piece of tech for the deck. I'm also mulling over increasing the land count to 35, as 33 has been a bit hit and miss.

The real test for Syrix will be building the deck in paper fully and playesting at my local store rather than just casually online via goldfishing and 'computer-randomised' testing.

As always, feedback is appreciated!
