Tempo Build: Tweaking

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on July 19, 2015, 4:34 p.m. by buildingadeck

In standard, I am a big brewer of decks. My history includes a very unsuccessful UW Control, a 2nd place finish with a U-Tempo deck (only played it twice in FNM), and numerous top 4s with a BUG FogWalker deck.

I am now trying to build UGb Morph/Tempo, and i have come to a dilemma on card selection. Here is my decklist.

My questions are:

1. Does this deck need a draw engine? If so, should I swap out an Obscuring AEther and a Trail of Mystery for Secret Plans or should I find a place for a playset of Anticipate?

2. Turn to Frog vs Reality Shift? While my creatures die to a manifested card when they are still morphlings, I can use their morph as a combat trick to kill the token. However, I can block a creature with Turn to Frog and kill it, but it goes to the graveyard, and can be revived with Tasigur, the Golden Fang and the other evil weapons of the Abzan.

3. Sideboard Tech: I haven't played too much standard in the past 3 months, so I could use some help there.

Thanks, guys!

PS. Shameless plug, here, but feel free to check out the other decks on my profile and leave feedback there. :)
