So as we all know Sigiled Starfish (Which I will refer to as Scryfish) is the second best card in the entire game (Storm crow being the first). I mean, come on. It's a starfish that can scry! Who would think it's bad? Who doesn't cower in fear when they see an enemy play a scryfish. In fact, Scryfish is just so amazing and awesome that it inspired me to create a deck specifically catered to what Scryfish does best. Scry.
You may wondering why Scryfish is one of the best cards in the game. Because it's Scryfish you heathen.
Now, you may think that I put red in this deck because red has removal spells that scry. If you thought that you're wrong. It has red because red symbolizes the blood of Scryfish's enemies.
The deck may appear to lack creatures and, while it sort of does, it has Scryfish, and his loyal followers, 1/1 goblins! (If you don't know why the goblins follow Scryfish into battle, read the 100% canon lore below.Scryfish, which will almost automatically force the enemy into submission, so you'll be fine. If you don't start with Scryfish in your hand, however, no worries! You'll be able to scry more than you'll even be able to do with your mortal minds! So scry scry scry until you get that Scryfish! Then scry for the next one! And along with that you can get even MORE scryfish with Fated Infatuation. Who doesn't want tokens of you're already overpowered card? That's what I thought! AWESOME!
"Oh, how can you even win with this deck?!" Some of you non-believers may ask. Well, that's why Knowledge and Power was invented, kids. With it, you can pay a measly two mana to deal two damage every time you scry! Need I say more?
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why don't you have Flamespeaker Adept in this deck!?" Well, Scryfish refuses to share the battlefield with any lesser forms of existence. Which is why we have the counter spells that we do. With these, you can counter an enemy and then SCRY! It also helps prevent against your Scryfish ever being exiled! How neat is that?
You're probably wondering to yourself, "Gee wizz, what happens if my GODLY Scryfish dies?" Well, son, I have a remedy, an elixir if you will. Elixir of Immortality will put that Scryfish right back into your deck along with all your other scrying needs so you can scry for your scryfish all over again! Pretty cool!
As you can clearly see, Scryfish is the most amazing thing since Stormcrow and we are all PRIVILEGED to be able to even play it. The minds of lesser creatures shudder when they think of the Scryfish. So go forth my fellow Scriers! Scry from the rooftops! Down the streets! FOR SCRYFISH!!!!!
So... the reason the goblins follow Scryfish is because a long time ago, Gumbo was walking down the river when he as suddenly ambushed by an Eldrazi! He was doomed, but then, he saw Scryfish, who scryed for him and revealed to him the path to divinity! Scryfish killed the Eldrazi with ease. Gumbo went home with Scryfish and preached the word of it's godliness to the other Goblins. Though, the only ones who heeded his words were 1/1's Scryfish still amassed an army of Goblin followers and now they travel the world, dedicated to spreading the word of Scryfish and his righteousness.
Okay, real talk, this deck spawned from a joke between my magic buddies and I. So, it's not really supposed to be all that great, but yeah. Enjoy the deck and don't forget to scream your BATTLESCRY!!!!
