This is my take on a U/B Colossus deck that just placed 47th at the SCG Open in Indy this weekend (10/1-10/2) piloted by one Brennan DeCandio and some of his fellow team members, including Emma Handy's list at 53rd. Brennan had slightly more card draw and eschewed from playing Smuggler's Copter aka Public Enemey #1. I think he may have placed higher just because his deck wasn't getting hosed as much by anti-copter cards, which seemed plentiful in the twitch streams I saw. My list plays 3 copies of Ceremonious Rejection which I feel should always actually be your turn 2 play, as it puts anyone playing copter one turn behind completely. While Elder Deep-Fiend is certainly powerful, I'm not sure why they played them, EDF doesn't synergize that well with the other creatures in DeCandio or Handy's lists. Scrapheap Scrounger is almost solely in his role to crew vehicles, and I'm really not sure if he fits into this style deck. TBD. The card I think setting my list apart from the others is Engulf the Shore (also the reason this list has a lot of islands, no swamps). It's a perfect turn 4 pass and play card, as against most aggro decks 2 or 3 islands will clear the board, while giving you increased value from Glint-Nest Crane and Filigree Familiar. Sure any vehicles will stay, but the majority of their aggression is gone. The turns before, you did stuff to advance your gameplan so turn 4 is the real pivot point in this deck. While sure you can curve puzzleknot, caravan, hedron archive into Colossus on turn 4, the main goal is to reset their gameplan at turn 4 while you just keep playing magic, so to speak. Idk, suggestions for sideboard would be appreciated.
