Ladies and Gentlemen we have here my take on Cheerios. I have wanted to build Cheerios for a little while and recently devised a mill version. With this in mind, with a 15 card sideboard I have put together a 2in1 deck that can either be played as Storm or Mill.
The Basis:The basis of both decks revolves around all of your 0 cost equipment, Cheerios, and Puresteel Paladin or Sram, Senior Edificer. Basically those two cards are your draw engines and your Cheerios are your gas. The whole point is to through down as many equipment as possible to draw as much as possible and repeat the process with Retract or Hurkyl's Recall.
The Mill:Using the draw engines to produce gas the Mill side of this deck combo uses Sphinx's Tutelage to Mill out your opponent every time you play a Cheerio. Turn 1 play a land a couple of Cheerios and a Mox Opal to drop Puresteel Paladin.Turn 2 another land and drop your Sphinx's Tutelage.Turn 3 land and Cheerios, Retract, and let the mill storm begin.
The Storm:Use your draw engines to produce gas, Retract, dump your hand again, draw more and swing with Grapeshot.Turn 1 play a land a couple of Cheerios and a Mox Opal to drop Puresteel Paladin.Turn 2 another land and drop more Cheerios and Retract, repeat until your Grapeshot can deal lethal.
Some of the Card Why?sRetract, pull all of your Cheerios back to hand so you can cast them and draw more.Noxious Revival allows you to move a Retract to the top of your library for free from the graveyard to keep the combo alive.Paradise Mantle extra mana if you need it, Free to equip with Puresteel Paladin,Swan Song cheap protection, and we don't care if they get a bird, usually used to prevent removal or prevent a cancel.Elixir of Immortality , This is for the Mill deck, you can make an infinite mill loop with this, Mox Opal and Retract, also the 5 life can help if your combo is going off late.
The whole point of this deck build was to achieve 2 different decks in one. I figure you start the match with Storm, then ,game two, change the dynamic to a Mill deck that can go off quick. Hopefully keep your opponent confused and win out.
Suggestions greatly welcomed, this is my first Major Deck Build, would love some input.
