Primespeaker Super Bug

Standard*

PeterBloomingdale


Sideboard


Standard BUG deck. This deck is midrange/controlish and is very powerful. I feel that this deck is not fit for the current meta, but it has the potential to see play if the right cards are printed in the following two sets.

The plan is to stall out the game with removal, until you can resolve a desecration demon followed by a primespeaker of zegana. The planeswalkers make the deck a lot of fun and can spiral out of control if they are not dealt with early. Jace is a staple of the deck, seeing how it is the only source of card draw. Vraska is still underrated lol. Ashiok, the new dimir planeswalker in theros, is questionable. She (or He?) is a lot of fun to play with, but she is either really really good or just god awful.

This deck is favorable against other midrange decks, such as selesnya/naya/grull/BWR. However, the deck can easily lose to aggro, if aggro has a good start, because I don't have access to supreme verdict. Also it is unfavored against monoblack devotion. I have yet to play against esper control, but I feel that the matchup would be pretty even.

Pros - Access to a lot of good removal - Incredible dig (Scry lands + Reaper + Dissolve + Jace) - Strong against selesnya/grull midrange

Cons - Poor card draw - No life gain - Not strong in the current meta. (Hard to win against Monoblack)
