Welcome to my Glissa Tempo Stax deck!

I would like to coin the term: "Marbles" deck because A. It keeps on rolling. and B. because there are a lot of sphere cards in the deck. (Think Static Orb)

The deck aims to lock out the early- and mid-game, then finish opponents with a combo. I want to focus on the tempo aspect of playing a proactive control deck in a 4p game.

Key strategies:

• Annihilate tempo advantage
• Shit on ramp-players
• Generate expendable bodies
• Targeted discard
• Generate value through breaking stax parity

Below I will explain the reasoning behind the cards in the deck, and try to highlight some key matchups and how to handle them; what to tutor for, and how to win.

Tempo Limiters. The marbles:

• Static Orb
• Winter Orb
• Sphere of Resistance
• Torpor Orb

• Trinisphere

• Tangle Wire

• Strip Mine
• Wasteland
• Tectonic Edge
• Dust Bowl
• Rishadan Port

Destruction

• Grave Pact

Resource Limiters

• Smokestack
