Oh, my bad. Did you actually want to play the game?

This deck is deteriorating to play against

I've been wanting a Cedh sultai brew that doesn't rely on graveayrd cards or something like that. And because I love artifacts and making people upset, I build a sultai stax deck with lantern and codex shredder to top it all off. Sounds fun... For me :) This deck uses infinite mana combos to do some powerful stuff, usually with Thassa's Oracle (Hence the name FISH Stax.)

If you like the deck please drop an upvote, wanna optimise this deck so feedback is GREATLY appreciated!

What this deck wants to do.

Basic Game Plan

Show

The very base of this deck is to lock out the opponents with stax like effects and some pillowfort type cards to deter them from attacking (This is a deck for multiplayer) and then assemble an infinite mana combo (there are many different ways to do this in the deck) to do a multiple of things. First option is to Walking Ballista for infinite, use Thrasios's ability to draw your entire deck and then cast Thassa's Oracle. Other ways to win without infinite mana are casting Thassa's Oracle after a Demonic Consultation to win or just have Laboratory Maniac after casting consultation.

STAX

Show

The main way of locking your opponents out but still letting you play the game is Urza, Lord High Artificer and something like Winter Orb or a stax card that stops working when it's tapped down. My personal favourite way of ruining someone's life is Codex Shredder and Lantern of Insight. I also think it works well with Silas Renn, Seeker Adept because even if they remove either of the cards or you use lantern's shuffle effect, you can get it back with Silas Renn.

List Of Win-Cons / Infinites

Show

Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle - Wins Instantly.

Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith - Infinte mana 1.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal - Infinite mana 2.

Pili-Pala + Grand Architect - Infinite mana 3.

Infinte mana + Thrasios, Triton Hero + Laboratory Maniac or Thassa's Oracle - Instant win combo.

Infinite mana + Walking Ballista - / Ballista.

Un-fun Interactions

Show

Lantern of Insight + Codex Shredder - Yea... Fun for me. Also it's 2 mana to completely lock out an opponent

Urza, Lord High Artificer + Winter Orb - Again, fun for me.

Tangle Wire + Winter Orb - Pretty much just the Urza thing.

Infinite mana + Chalice of the Void - I mean you can just win with your commander but you know... This is actually evil.

Even though this deck doesn't have too many annoying interactions it's very staxy.

Why Thrasios aand Silas Renn (Sasios?)

Show

Firstly, I love sultai and it's by far my favourite colour combination. Secondly, I love playing stax and making people upset because I'm one of those people. And thirdly, I love partner commanders but especially Thrasios. So that's how this monstrosity was born.
