Welcome to the Bank of Sultai, would you like to make a deposit?
This a deck me and a mate has worked on. Feel free to +1 and comment if you like the idea
Originally it was a deck that was built to abuse Villainous Wealth using obvious mana ramping strategies, but when we did we failed so hard, it was tough to get mana ramping and also control the board with bounce/counter/removal as those damn mana rampers take up valuable spots
So for us to make this deck to work, it was time to think outside the box.
Firstly we had to employ a Bank Manager::
Kruphix, God of Horizons - Our Bank Manager allows us to deposit our mana and cards into a high interest savings account. Allowing us to keep more than 7 cards and banking our unused mana as colourless to use another time.
Our Mana Investment Manager::
Prophet of Kruphix
- Allowing us to untap mana to double our return on our Mana Investment strategies.
Our Stock Exchange Manager::
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver - Ashiok will use your measly 3 mana investment to invest in the market, our Stock Exchange Manager has a great portfolio for high returns on investment!
Our Assistant Manager::
Clever Impersonator - He will assist us anyway he can, whether he will protect my savings account by copying another creature, copy our enchantments to increase our savings. He will do whatever he can to help.
Our friendly staff will use our patented newly discovered strategies to ensure a solid return on any investment and high interest on any savings account.
Let's discuss some of our strategies.
Dictate of Kruphix
+
Kruphix, God of Horizons
+
Waste Not
- This interesting combo allows our Card saving account to increase rapidly, being able to draw up to 7 cards per turn (with help from our assistant manager), you will have all the cards you need for board control. Dictate of Kruphix will cause your opponents to draw too, but they will need to discard any remaining cards over 7, this is where Waste Not will turn all those discarded no good cards into gold for your Mana/Card Savings Account and we can also employ some Zombies to help manage your growing investment!
Dictate of Karametra
+
Kruphix, God of Horizons
+
Villainous Wealth
- This combo will allow your opponent to make an involuntary donation to you. Using our Dictate of Karametra to double our mana investment, we can cast Villainous Wealth for a minimum X cost of 7 + our colourless mana that we have in our savings account!
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - blue devotion mana to bank
::::::::::::::::::::::::: GAME ::::: PLAN :::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ideally in perfect conditions (over about 6-8+ turns), We would want Dictate of Karametra
+
Kruphix, God of Horizons
+
Prophet of Kruphix
On the board so we may cast Villainous Wealth for, lets just say X=29 (with enough mana left over for a couple of counter spells if they are needed). Ensuring Win Conditions.
Otherwise a combo of any of the above cards will also work.
Our other win condition is Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver to again exile cards and play the big monsters in 80% of the decks out there. Clever Impersonator can copy these creatures if need be.
So our plan is to control the board until one of the above happens
Against Control & Mirrors, I am considering siding in Mistcutter Hydra & Hydra Broodmaster for Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver & Villainous Wealth and side in more control.
Against Aggro, Siding in more Bile Blight & Drown in Sorrow
