Sideboard


Maybeboard

Artifact (1)


U/W Aggro aura/equipment deck with an infinite combo option. Or a combo deck with an aggro option. It's a hybrid deck.

Sram and Danitha help to keep cards flowing, putting on some early beats to force slower decks to play out their answers. Meanwhile, you assemble the Famished Paladin / Sorcerer's Wand combo. Forerunner of the Legion can tutor for the Paladin if necessary, or it can fetch Mavren Fein, Adanto Vanguard, or Skymarcher Aspirant if you've already got a Paladin. Board the Weatherlight can dig for Triumph of Gerrard, On Serra's Wings, or Sorcerer's Wand. Triumph, Wings, and Squire's Devotion can all give the Paladin Lifelink in order to go off, and they're all decent effects for buffing creatures and turning sideways. The wand lets the Paladin tap to ping the opponent, and he'll untap if he's got Lifelink, going infinite.

The combo can be disrupted pretty easily if they see it coming, which is why I built it into a deck that can push for a win even if one or more combo pieces can't be found or are shut down by Ixalan's Binding, Lost Legacy, or other such effects.

Teshar can return Sram, Danitha, and any of the vampires in the deck anytime a historic spell is played, of which there are 18 (not counting Teshar). There's 14 equipment/auras that can trigger Sram's card drawing, and 12 of them cost less when Danitha is in play. The only equipment pieces are Sorcerer's Wand and one copy of Forebear's Blade, but I'm considering adding a Blackblade Reforged, as there are plenty of Legendary creatures to hold it, along with anything enchanted by Serra's Wings.

Siren Stormtamer can help whittle away at their life total, is a wizard for Sorcerer's Wand, and can sacrifice to protect anything more important than it is -- nothing better than countering Settle the Wreckage with this guy.

The Sideboard is pretty simple. Baffling End is there to remove defensive decks' blockers, while Seal Away is far better against faster aggro decks or ramped out fatties. Revoke Privileges is an Aura for the purposes of Sram and Danitha and is pretty close to pacifism. Authority of the Consuls provides a bit more lifegain against aggro, annoys hasty creatures, and can trigger extra untaps of Famished Paladin. Negate is self-explanatory, and gives a bit more defense against spell-based attacks on our combo. Finally, Knight of Grace can sub in against decks playing black removal as a slightly better option for holding auras and equipment.

This deck is pretty budget, and I'm all ears if you've got suggestions for how to make it more consistent and/or powerful. Thanks!
