Sideboard


This is the second Gilder Bairn deck I have built, again for the same offsite deck challenge.

So on this one I tried to do something pretty broken. Think of this like proliferation with maybe slightly more speed. The goal is to get Enlightened Tutor on Isochron Scepter and get your gilder combo. You then use the scepter to pull all sorts of things out.


In depth details and HTP. Warning, wall of text:

Lot of different ways to reach one goal here. You want to basically get to the point where you can play anything you want out of the deck for free. 1. Filigree+Astral Cornucopia+planar portal2. Oracle vault + tutor stick+filigree+Astral Cornucopia3. Oracle vault+tutor stick just play whatever you want and be constrained in the number of times you can activate each turn.4. Astral Cornucopia+Staff of Domination. You can end the game. This will allow you to play your entire deck out but in a controlled fashion so you don't mill out. Staff of domination is now in the sideboard.

Once you achieve "infinite tutoring" as it were, you play out all the nasty artifacts in here and the game effectively ends. This is because gilder is basically acting as a proliferation engine and you will inherently seek to play filigree and astral cornucopia if they aren't already in play. You now have:Infinite untappingInfinite proliferation of countersInfinite select play of any artifact in the deck. Pull it out put it on the field done.

This may seem overly complicated (and it is wew) but at this point you control everything. Your artifacts which normally depend on a finite number of counters and being able to tap only once per turn are no longer limited by either. So you can do almost anything, infinitely. It merely depends on which artifacts you want in the deck at that point. For this deck I have provided:A. Infinite tokensB. Infinite damage mill and poison counters/Infinite mill seizure of all enemy creatures in all graveyards (sideboard is Codex Shredder and Grimoire of the Dead )C. Infinite destruction of enemy permanents D. Infinite Life gain (by raising the counters on Eternity Vessel to infinite and then playing a land) E. Darksteel forge to make it harder to disrupt things.
