A casual Tutelage deck.
Introduction
I originally made this deck as a B/U mill deck, but I found that I couldn't get a good defense built up in time. Then someone gave me an Ornithopter and thus began my love of thopters. This deck has been through alot of tweeks before finally adding it to this site. Hopefully you enjoy it and leave me you feedback in the comments.
This Deck
Amazingly enough, the mill is not the reliable win-con with this deck. I have won more games with Jace's Phantasm at 5/5 due to the fast mill or 2 1/1 Thopter Tokens each equipped with a Ghostfire Blade with my Ghostfire Blade
+
Ornithopter
holding my defense as a 3 colorless 2/4 flyer.
MILL
The Mind Sculpts and Hedron Crabs are reliable methods to get the opponents graveyard to 10 to trigger Jace's Phantasm's ability. The Brainstorm
+
Sphinx's Tutelage
can be a devistating combo, milling 6 cards at a minimum for 1 mana, and drawing that second Brainstorm is a delight. Talent of the Telepath has great synergy with this deck since it mills, get's help from the instants and sorceries in the graveyard, and let's me steal one or 2 of there instants and/or sorceries. It's also a great feeling when your pull one of their Talent of the Telepaths and you do it again.
Thopterness
Ornithopters are a great way to throw out some fodder ealry in the game. Add the synergy between thopters and Ghostfire Blade and you get a defense that can punch back. Thopter Spy Network Works off the other cheap artifacts in this deck that to get those chump blockers out each turn. attach a Ghostfire Blade to one or 2 of these and you get a 3/3 flyer. not much else to it than that.
Artifacts
Profane Memento is a key card to get out early in the game, but depending on your play style, you can wait till you build your defense. Once you start milling though, this card will give you the few extra turns to mill or build up your attacks. Chief of the Foundry is a good way to let your thopter's come in with as 2/2's or 1/3's. Alchemist's Vial I have found very useful to delay your opponent's attack, or to keep them from blocking with that 6/6 so your 1/1 thopter can deal damage to your opponent to trigger Thopter Spy Network's draw which will trigger Sphinx's Tutelage's mill.Add Alhammarret's Archive to the board and things speed up VERY fast. Unfortunately it is expensive to put out so I only include one in this Deck.
