Hylda of the Icy Crown, "Sheer" (Brew Help)

Overview

Sheer is a Low-Power Budget* brew designed to control the field by tapping and Stunning creatures, while producing W/U 4/4 Tokens to capitalize on open fields.

Mana Base: Land/Ramp/Fixing

Land base meets Mana Curve but somewhat meets Color Pip requirements; too many Basics.

Ramp package is Artifact heavy and assists Mana Curve but somewhat assists Color Pip requirements.

Utility Land package lacks density and effectiveness, while not hindering Mana Curve and Color Pip requirements.

Win Condition

Reduce the opponent(s) health to zero through combat.

Junk Diver or Kapsho Kitefins + Ashnod's Altar + Opposition + Commander = Tap Opponent creatures and many tokens.

Support: Tutor/Draw/Other

No tutors. Draw power is varied and board state dependent while explosive. Few are repeatable but consistent.

Interaction

Interaction package is soft interaction dense, but Dismiss into Dream transforms soft interaction into Edict effects.

General/Commander

Hylda of the Icy Crown plays Support producing Tokens and increasing lethality while tapping creatures.

*Current Tcgplayer.com Average Price is $80USD, but it is easily lowered.

Remove

22 Snow-Covered Basic Land for ~$22USD price drop. For generic Basic Land for free.

Deserted Beach ($2.40USD) for Plains.

Additionally, Arcane Signet, Opposition, Talisman of Progress, Thought Vessel, Turnabout and Glacial Fortress are displaying more expensive variants. Price is ~$8USD less.

Keep brewing.
