Golden-Tail, Samurai Sensei

Modern Bushido Fox Mono-White Samurai

JonathanSamurai


Sideboard


This is my attempt at making samurai great again and relevant in the meta game. The deck started of as a casual leaning flavor deck. Now, I have gotten much more serious and have tried to sure up some of the decks weaknesses by using cards like Cavern of Souls and Aether Vial that fight counter Magic and grant pseudo haste.

The creature cap is 2 cmc due to the deck needing to be fast enough to race other decks for the turn 4 win condition. In this case, it means having lethal power on board by turn 4. We accomplish this with a lot of 2 power creatures flooding the board in true white weenie style. We have adjusted the sideboard for flexibility against the more common meta decks. Keeping the creature count high, as that is the win condition, while providing some resilience against things like burn and control decks, as well as some combo decks.

The deck could use a 2 cmc lord effect on a creature, which is why we are using Honor of the Pure in the meantime. Hopefully some stronger samurai in the 1-2 cmc range will be printed in the future. Let me know your thoughts or concerns with the deck. If you like the deck, please consider upvoting and commenting on what you like about the deck. It’s time to make white weenie cool again!

2-0 against Mill 2-0 against RDW 1-2 against Skred 0-2 against UW control Last two opponents were #1&2 Lost to Stormbreath Dragon, which I couldn’t answer, and grinded UW to 5 or less life both times before Sphinx’s stabilized him.

I’m pretty happy with my results considering how unlikely it is for a budget deck to make it that far to begin with. White weenie can steal some wins though if you play well enough.
