A Viable Color for Manifest

Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 18, 2015, 3:33 p.m. by Runlue

This has been a pressing question to me recently. The two color combos I feel would do wonderful with manifest would be Bant (G/U/W) and Temur (R/G/U). Both have their perks (Ashcloud Phoenix, Rageform for Red, Master of Pearls, Lightform for White) and can get seriously fun. One perk to this whole thing is that you can pay morph cards for a LOT cheaper thanks to manifest, so red is a very fun idea, but white adds more opportunities for useful spells (removal, boardwipes, etc.). You can see my dilemma here. I don't want to go 4-color either, as that would be hectic. Any ideas as to what should be better guys? Thanks!

Run bant. Bant gives you answers, control options, draw, etc. Green is for Wildcall and Hooded Hydra. I wouldn't run that many Lightforms, or Cloudforms, maybe two of each. red gives you Anger of the Gods, but not much more. White gives you Master of Pearls, End Hostilities, etc.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into the situation, I'll mention Black as a viable option. Qarsi High Priest, Sultai Emissary, Grim Haruspex, and removal form a pretty nice foundation, and they mesh well with Whisperwood Elemental, Trail of Mystery, Hooded Hydra, and other Manifest staples.
