Acquisition Control

Hey there... I was curious to make a deck that has good matchups against all meta decks... I tried many deck ideas and i finally made this one... It works realy good on meta, because of its flexibility...

Mainboard Show

Mainboard

mana drops:

• Fatal Push: Strong early creature removal

• Battle at the Bridge: Lifegain removal, strong against indestractables

mana drops:

• Azor's Gateway: Helps looting in deck and discard useless cards, for the moment

• Moment of Craving: Good early removal for aggro decks, also gain life

• Search for azcanta : Helps looting in deck and discard useless cards, for the moment

mana drop:

• Doomfall: Reveal hand, exile highest threat, exile the last creature on board

• Spring: Helps mana-fixing, ramping and also a good late draw with Mind

mana drop:

• Ixalan's Binding: Exile a permanent that has more copies in opponents deck

• Vraska's Contempt: Strong creature/plainswalker removal

• Mastermind's Acquisition: Most importand card in the deck, helps you play with your sideboard

• Yahenni's Expertise: A good early clear board, allows you to cast free plenty of 3 mana spells

mana drop:

• Hour of Promise: Mana-fixing, ramping, making blocker/attackers

• The Scarab God : Best creature of the format, wins the game

mana drop:

• Vraska, Relic Seeker: Makes board, destroy non-land permanents, wins the game

Lands:

• Arch of Orazca: Late draw

• Ifnir Deadlands: Worst case removal

• Field of Ruin: Destroy flipped lands, also can be used for mana fix

• Scavenger Grounds: Disable graveyards

Sideboard Show

Sideboard

• Duress: Play around opponent's hand, remove no creature threat cards

• Wildest Dreams: Return what you want from graveyard

• Naturalize: Its obvious

• Lost Legacy: Best against combo decks

• Dispossess: Artifact hate

• Carnage Tyrant: Good against control decks

• Approach of the Second Sun: Back up win-condition

• Sandwurm Convergence: Nice finisher

Gameplay Show

Gameplay

As any deck has a plan to win... This deck wins with The Scarab God , Vraska, Relic Seeker, Sandwurm Convergence, Approach of the Second Sun or just simple 2/2 Zombies... These are very late finishers and you have to stabilize the board first... The deck has many creature removals, exile permanents, opponent's discards and board clears... You can search them with the help of Azor's Gateway, Search for azcanta by looting your library every turn or with Mastermind's Acquisition on emergency... And at the end play the finishers...

Synergies/Combos Show

Synergies/Combos

• The Scarab God is one of our big threats againt opponent... He can gets opponents creature from graveyards as 4/4 zombies and on upkeep scry and deal damage for each one... Also a nice synergy is with Hour of Promise by creating the two 2/2 Zombie...

• Yahenni's Expertise is a good early board clear, but not olny just this... You can free cast Spring (if you can't find ), Azor's Gateway or Search for azcanta to loot in your library, and even better Doomfall to kill the last alive creature or to reveal/exile a card from opponents hand...

• Mastermind's Acquisition gives the flexibility on this deck... You can get anything you want from library or sideboard, to prepare and success next turns against opponents deck... Thats the reason why we play one of each win-contition to the sideboard... To prevent to lose our finishers from Lost Legacy and similar cards...

• Against control decks, always check your opponent's hand from counters with Duress or Doomfall, before playing your finishers...

• If our finishers destroyed or countered, we can get from sideboard Wildest Dreams and return the highest threats, for opponent, from graveyards to battlefield...
