Maybeboard


Hello! Welcome to my Blue Braids list. It should be fairly evident, but if not; the gist of the deck is that it's an artifact-centric control list that abuses Braids' in one of two ways:

A) Prevent anyone else from getting an upkeep trigger via cards like Riptide Laboratory, Miren, the Moaning Well, Tidespout Tyrant etc.

B) Line up abusive plays with things like Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, or Spine of Ish Sah and Master Transmuter.

The deck has several infinite combos - but most of them revolve around Palinchron and Deadeye Navigator. Initially, I was not going to include combos - but after a few games where everyone was forced to grind out advantage or fight over a stolen eldrazi I decided I needed a faster, alternate way to end the game.

I'm moving more into the artifact theme and considering the inclusion of Muzzio, Visionary Architect...but I haven't quite made it all the way there.

Removed Curse of the Swine and Capsize for Darksteel Forge and Nevinyrral's Disk.

Curse of the Swine seems very good, but often was just a 1-for-1. It's still in the maybeboard because I can imagine putting it back in, as there were games that it was necessary to win and it plays nicely with Braids, Conjurer Adept and opponents' free creatures from her triggers.

Capsize was only ever really good with infinite mana as a soft win condition. And the deck already has better ones than that, and can do the same thing with Venser, Shaper Savant.

Darksteel Forge and Nevinyrral's Disk are pretty obvious, but disk also plays well with the indestructible fatties.
