Sideboard


I've heard a lot about this deck in the past week, and I've come to some conclusions.

The biggest problem with the original list was the consistency. It was A) 70 cards, B) essentially 5 color, and C) very janky and overall not ideal in any form. Keep in mind that that list was a proof of concept, and far from optimal. Hopefully this list takes a step or two in the right direction.

My solution to the consistency problem is to make the deck Bant. Bant offers more crossover cards between Lurrus of the Dream-Den and Yorion, Sky Nomad. My original list was focused more on playing a Lurrus deck than both decks, which was part of the problem. There were not enough ETB effects and synergies with Yorion. This list, instead of trying to play two different decks, is trying to play one combination between the two; it is essentially a deck with two companions at the same time thanks to Glittering Wish. As for the 70 card problem, I considered going to 80 cards, but that would make there really no point to even playing Lurrus of the Dream-Den as a companion at all. So, I have decided to make the deck 60 cards, and eliminate the possibility of playing Yorion as a companion. Playing four Glittering Wish is still means to having access to Yorion, without playing 80 cards.

The two cards that hold everything together in this deck are Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse and Glittering Wish. This deck really does not have all that many meaningful cards to recur with Lurrus or blink with Yorion; mostly they all just draw cards. However, this becomes a very strong ability to draw extra cards each turn when in combination with Jolrael. This generates threats and blockers every turn, all while digging for Glittering Wish. Wish can get you top end cards from the sideboard, or direct answers to threats. It lets you bypass the Lurrus restirction.
