Silverquill Grandiloquence

Overview

Silverquill Grandiloquence is a Mid-Power Aikido deck featuring "Keeping up with the Joneses" (Knight of the White Orchid and Smuggler's Share) and "Drawback" cards like Swords to Plowshares. It lends itself to poltical play.

Mana Base: Land/Ramp/Fixing

Land Base exceeds Mana Curve and Pip requirements, while combative against interaction.

Ramp package is Artifact, Land and Creature based, and it provides additional fixing.

Utility Land is Mass-Mana focused but few offer interaction, Mass Mana and other varying effects.

Win Condition

Getting opponents to zero. Life Drain, Combat and Commander Damage (Akroma's Will and Tainted Strike expedite the process); additionally, any Win Condition one can steal with Opposition Agent and/or Dauthi Voidwalker.

Support: Tutor/Draw/Other

Four in-format best Tutors supported by "Keeping up with the Jones" draw engines that Breena enables; such as Trouble in Pairs and Smuggler's Share. Special mention: Tymna the Weaver and orher small draw spells round out Card Advatage.

As for Other Support, the deck has Enchantment, Creature and 2-or-less permanent recursion, while Teferi's Protection spells and Holy Day help navigate combat or interaction, while Everybody Lives! prevents alternate Win Conditions or surprise losses.

Interaction

Eight Target Removal spells and two Mass Removal spells dissuades unfavorable combats and removes problematic permanents. Additionally, eight Hate Bears maintains the desired status quo. These creatures will grow and be combat ready.

General/Commander

Breena, the Demagogue is a consistent Draw source, Combat deterrent and Flying Voltron General Win Condition.

Keep brewing.
