Sideboard


Maybeboard

Creature (1)

Land (1)

Sorcery (3)


NOTE: This is a combination of A MILLion Ciphers , Lets Break Ciphers Heroic and Lets Break Ciphers Izzet Also for a more budgeted version simply replace shock lands with guildgates or scrylands


Key interactions:

Ciphers ( Trait Doctoring , Hands of Binding, Paranoid Delusions , Hidden Strings, Last Thoughts , Call of the Nightwing)+Aqueous Form on any creature (preferably the Nivmagus Elemental)

Ciphers on a creature with Aqueous Form+Casting Triggers ( Tablet of the Guilds , Young Pyromancer, Guttersnipe)

Exiling unnecessary ciphers to feed Nivmagus Elemental

Win conditions include: Using Tablet of the Guilds to get above 100 life (sideboard), Getting Nivmagus Elemental buffed up and using either Hands of Binding or a precombat cast of Hidden Strings and swing in for kill, or overwhelm them with an army of 1/1 tokens or using Guttersnipe to kill with each successful cipher.


Perfect game

T1: Island,

Nivmagus Elemental

T2: Island,

2xHidden Strings (using them to untap the lands used to pay for them)

Aqueous Form

keep 1x Negate in hand to deal with pesky kill spells (*note at this time I only have 1 mana available but next turn I want a Negate in hand)

Ciphers ciphered on the elemental

scry 1 then swing an unblockable 1

exile all ciphers to put 4 +1/+1 counters on the niv magus

T3: Mountain

Guttersnipe

swing for an unblockable 5 (opponent at 14 now)

cast the copies for a further 4 damage off the Guttersnipe (opponent at 10)

exile 1 copy of Hidden Strings use the other to free up land to counter a kill spell while putting 2 +1/+1 counters on the elemental

T4: swing for an unblockable 6

cast the copies for the Guttersnipe to win all the while with a counter in hand.


let me know of other spells that I can use to break cipher, preferably standard legal... and +1s are always welcome

After a while away from this deck and working on a cool combo deck, I've decided to come back to making this deck better. So, what I need are some better sideboard cards and I'm considering Teleportal over Paranoid Delusions
