Sideboard


Blue + Colorless Eldrazi for Standard. I've been wanting to build this deck for years, so let's see what some aggressively costed Eldrazi can pull off, shall we?

The answer is: we shall. This deck feels a lot like Tron. If my opponent doesn't beat me there, the big creatures I play are just an inexorable tide of death, especially if I managed to drop a Blade on turn 1. It's always nice to have an extra threat of violence when you don't tend to leave up blockers.

I went 3-1 when I took it to Stanard the other day, only getting that loss from a bad block on the very last turn! That's always a bummer, but it did so well the rest of the night I really can't complain. One oddity I noticed from the TWO completely different control decks I played is that Matter Reshaper gets countered pretty often. I can understand it on one hand, if they aren't going to play a blocker anytime soon, and it does deny me my card advantage, but you can bet that's the least important creature in my deck; save your counterspells for the Seers and Smashers, folks.

In the meantime, I tweaked the manabase a little so that I get where I need to be more consistently. A couple more Shrines might not be a bad plan though.


SOI: Plans Post-rotation

As always, Ghostfire Blade, ye shall be missed. Still haven't nailed down what I'm replacing it with yet, but hopefully inspiration will strike.

For now, 1x Treasure Cruise becomes 1x Epiphany at the Drownyard and 1x Ugin becomes 1x ...something. Gonna miss Reality Shift in my sideboard, blue just doesn't get removal like that.

Still working on what's happening with this rotation, suggestions will be appreciated!
