This is a deck that I built around
Strixhaven Stadium
from the newest set. I am a sucker for alternate win-cons so I had to build it when I seen it and I am very pleasantly surprised. Stadium gets a counter all by its self every turn and ramps you. The mana it produces is sneaky useful and the counters on it add up so fast. I have been testing it for quite a while now and it can win pretty quickly pretty consistently.
Brimaz, King of Oreskos
,
Geist of Saint Traft
,
Grateful Apparition
and
Thrummingbird
can basically all give 2 counters when they attack/land thanks to the proliferation and the extra attacking tokens. Even when you cant stop your opponent from hitting you, most of the time once their creatures are tapped you can attack and add twice as many counters as they took. So sometimes it makes them have to leave back blockers and attack less, Which is still great for the deck. I found that I was able to straight up race creature based decks and win. It also preys pretty hard on control decks that don't have many creatures.
Hangarback Walker
is there as an alternate threat that works well with proliferation as well as being able to be sac'd to
Throne of Geth
to get counters and then makes more artifacts to sac when he dies.
Fog
,
Ethereal Haze
,
Ghostly Prison
and
Settle the Wreckage
are all there to make you take as little damage and lose as little counters as possible and the fogs are really good against a lot of decks to my surprise.
Snapcaster Mage
is there to flashback the fogs and
Twiddle
. I was unsure if I wanted twiddle at all at first but I love it in the deck. It has done work in a lot of areas. I have used it to untap throne of geth to sac multiple things a turn, untap
Strixhaven Stadium
to tap it for another counter and mana, tap down opponents attackers prior to combat or untap my things after attacking, tap an opponents land before combat so they cant pay for ghostly prison taxes and even to tap an island, cast twiddle, untap a forest and play a fog. It does a lot.
If for some reason the counter plan does not work just the pillow fort style and fogs with your creatures and exalted is enough to get there all by its self.
I have been having a hell of a lot of fun playing it and thinks its pretty good. Let me know what you guys think of it or how it does for you if you play it.
