Ah, yes. We are playing *that* deck. But it'll be fun, I promise. It's now time to teach how to not play magic.
How could you possibly conceive such an evil deck?
Its simple, really. I decided that
Stasis
decks aren't good enough. So, what did I do? Well, I made one. I just added way more "fun" cards to make the opponent not be able to do anything.
But how do we play the deck?
Simple. You play a cheep spell that holds off the opponent for a turn or two. Could be a tabernacle at pendrell vale, or maybe a Glacial Chasm (fun fact-you can only survive 3 turns with this on the board), or even a Winter Orb, and maybe even a
Stasis
. Then play your three drop no-attackers card. There are three of them. (Illuminati Confirmed) Now, begin bouncing tap down card (Winter Orb and
Stasis
, if you weren't paying attention.) So only you get to untap. Play jace the mindsculptor. Make sure the top card of the opponent's deck sucks. Mill them to death with the ultimate. If they counter all 4 of them, keep locking down, then play either Jace Memory Adapt and spam the 0 ability, or Elixir of Immortality and get them all back into your deck. Simple.
But what about the match ups?
Here:
All Delver strategies: The only deck that can sneak under Ensnaring Bridge and pay for Propaganda, but it doesn't like
Stasis
or The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale. The matchup is 50-50.
Death and Taxes: The Aether Vial is annoying, and so is Thalia, but otherwise the deck shuts it down pretty well. The matchup is 65-45.
Maverick: Creature based strategy? Shut DOWN. 70-30.
Infect: It depends on how fast their hand is, but it can really go either way. 50-50.
Burn: See above.
Merfolk: I'm sorry sir, put um, in order to do that attacking thing, yea, pay 10 mana, and uh don't untap ever, and uh, pay 5 mana every upkeep with your tapped lands. 70-30.
Stoneblade: The deck looks like a whole lotta useless junk against ours. Have fun with that Swords to Plowshares.70-30
UW Miracles: You will not get past game 1 I promise you. They can't win with angel tokens, you can't win because they can just endlessly counter your Jaces, and nothing happens. 0-0
Lands: They will get value out of Landstill. It depends on whether you draw
Stasis
or Winter Orb. 50-50
Show and Tell:
Meekstone
and Ensnaring Bridge, buddy. Also, don't attack for a couple turns. And stuff. 50-50
Storm: Bad bad matchup. I hate this deck and will have 4 Flusterstorms on my sideboard.
Elves: Dream matchup. Best deck cause you just hose everything they have. 100% of cards are good.
Now what do I do after reading that awesome description?
