The Highest Rated Estrid Deck on TappedOut! —June 24, 2019

What's Up with Estrid?

This is the highest rated Estrid deck on TappedOut. With that realization came another: this is the representation of Estrid to many players, so I need to make it as competitive as possible. With input from the enchantress Discord and Reddit, the deck has been trimmed and streamlined. Helm of the Gods has been removed as it was clunky with Stony Silence and Energy Flux; Arixmethes' job was accomplished by bouncelands; Plea for Guidance cost too much mana; Counterspell is just being replaced by Decree of Silence.

Solemnity acts as a hate piece against Meren of Clan Nel Toth or Triskelion and forms a lock with Decree of Silence. Decree can also protect the deck from interaction on the combo turn. Estrid's +2 breaks the parity on Rising Waters and Stasis, slowing down the game.

Entering my watch list is Helix Pinnacle. Its purpose as an unconventional infinite mana win condition is done better by Words of Wind. It is terrible unless I am comboing, something that cannot be said of Tuvasa or Eldrazi Conscription, which win the game with Words of Wind.

As for the art, I couldn't be happier with these additions. This deck has been one of my pet projects for nearly a year and over that time I have probably seen more Majora's Mask art than anyone alive. There are many more wonderful pieces I have been itching to show off here and I hope that the MM Fanart community continues to grow. If you are one of the brilliant artists whose work I have put on display, I implore you to create art of the following and message me in the comments below or at https://twitter.com/PalPlays
