MTG Arena - Illuna Oracle Brawl Combo

Arena Counterspell RUG (Temur) Scry Tokens

GlennTen


This is a brawl deck I've been using in MTG Arena to some degree of success mostly due to not many players knowing what the deck is trying to do and not trying to stop it effectively until it's too late. The combo centers around Thassa's Oracle which is the only creature we run in the main deck. The idea is that on 6 mana you mutate Illuna, Apex of Wishes onto a token which will tutor Thassa's Oracle to your hand. If she was in the final 2-3 cards of your deck, you win the game on the following turn provided you can protect her summon with counter-spells however this is admittedly rare. Either way we then bounce/sacrifice/chump block with Illuna so we can recast her as a mutate with 2 blue mana spare so as to empty our library and immediately play Thassa's Oracle ending the game if your opponent has no way to prevent her from triggering her ETB. This deck's most difficult match up is certainly blue control and mono red aggro that curves out perfectly. Always protect your Oracle because if she is exiled or sent to the graveyard without Once and Future to get her out, the game is over. Another way to win is if Thassa's Oracle was conveniently in the last 10 or so cards in your deck and you have a stockpile of draw spells eg. Boon of the Wish-Giver you can simply wait out the last few turn's draws to simply play her and win without the need of the mutate trigger from Illuna, Apex of Wishes The reason we run Unsummon in this deck is to protect Thassa's Oracle or if we need to recast her or Illuna, Apex of Wishes to avoid the commander tax. Many of the cards are definitely bad on paper however they work phenomenally well in this deck. Try it out and have fun!

I do not have access to the perfect control shell for this deck but I think at least the ramp and token generation is up to scratch. If you have suggestions for good control spells to help survive until the combo that would be appreciated :)

Updates Add

Dropped Rewind because it's too expensive and added Glint and Snakeskin Veil to protect our tokens cheaply. Also dropped Fling as it is most often a dead card in our hand.
