StopShot on I’d like help building a …

1 month ago

All my bracket 3 matches have been feeling like bracket 3.9 matches lately, because game ending plays are starting to hit the table at times more in line with bracket 4 than bracket 3. (They insist they’re playing bracket 3 because they only use 3 game changers.)

I’m building in mardu colors as I won’t have to spend money on a new manabase and I want to build a new deck that excels in slowing/jamming up the early game rather than speed up all my tier 3 decks. I want to keep this new deck in spirit of bracket 3’s policy of “no mass land denial,” so no Armageddon or Blood Moon. I don’t want to lock players out of their resources, but I do want to starve their resources enough so that turn 4 wins occur more on turn 6 and that my opponents are usually short a mana or two from ending games, but still have enough mana to play interaction.

To achieve this I’m thinking about building a deck with lots of cheap group discard effects, tax effects, and cards that excel at blowing up turn 2 mana rocks as a means of putting strain on my opponents’ mana bases. The commander I’m thinking about running is Kelsien, the Plague as an answer to mana-dorks as well. The deck is in early development so I don’t have a deck list, but I’d like to hear if anyone has any card recommendations, deck lists I could take inspiration from, and/or primers/guides on how I should build this deck archetype that I should consider. I’m also a bit lost on what wincons would work best as I do want this to be a deck I can win with. (I’m not interested in winning faster as I do like playing the role of janitor, cleaning up other player’s threats before utilizing my own.)

I feel like this is solid, but you are missing just some nicely cards that are budget. And combo better than stuff you have.

Lotus Petal is a nice early game card but trash honestly, for a deck like this. A Prototype Portal being bounced would serve better. Add in a Seat of the Synod with Portal and now you're putting out your regular land, plus an artifact lands each turn. I know Lotus is quick but it's paltry compared to Portal, especially for mid game decks. Lotus is pretty much worthless to Urza decks once he's out.

Imagine cloning Isochron. CEDH is fast but when you start dropping extra Sol Rings for 2 or 3 turns, bounce, then do some Etherium Scultpors... Prototype Portal is so very underrated. Your aim is mid game and since you do graveyard denial, exiling stops most opponents from touching your graveyard.

Another swap I'd suggest is Memory Lapse over Pact of Negation. One, SUPER budget friendly. Two? Pairs with Isochron and you now lockdown the table by stopping opponents from drawing anything new. Free for a possible game winning jam up is nice. 2 cost for guarenteed game jamming is better. And Pact is an all in that leaves you down the following turn if someone manages some BS, and only for one opponent. Memory Lapse not only does the same counter for 2, but has extra value of hurting the opponent's draw. Plus, you aren't SOL if someone plays a Demolition Field or Armageddon.

Just a few thoughts.

Oh and if you want to be super nasty with Winter Orb, Karn, the Great Creator+Mycosynth Lattice is game over for most pods. Just thoughts and the Why behind the thoughts.

Sephara, Sky's Blade gives you some redundancy with your commander, and you very likely can cheat on her mana cost given your fliers.

There are a few more wraths you could add - Day of Judgment and Armageddon come to mind.

White struggles with card draw, so Esper Sentinel is a pretty solid choice.

Also, just a personal pet peeve, the title of your deck properly should be Revelation 16:16 - using the plural “Revelations” is a pretty common mistake.

Cool Build. I have a pretty mean Kaalia myself but its rather competitive. Yours looks fun to play I just tested it a few times. Love the Sneak Attack as a backup. Feel free to take a look at mine if you'd like. My only real suggestions after seeing your maybe list is to tune the creatures a bit more and sell that Alpha/Beta D-Tutor ... buy a Chrome Mox. Would leave you with a few $$ to really deck this thing out. Id also be running all 3 Talismans. A revised Demonic tutor is Rather affordable. I run Gamble Demonic Tutor, Enlightened TutorGC, Vampiric TutorGC, Grim Tutor, And Imperial SealGC. More tutors and maybe Steelshaper's Gift to get the Greaves out fast. Diabolic Tutor works just fine to go get an Avacyn or something and get the whole table salty Lotus Petal is clutch too and chronically slept on IMO, especially when it comes to Kaalia... Im pretty sure Jeweled Lotus is banned in EDH now so maybe let that one go too. Necropotence is stupid good in a Kaalia deck, especially if you can get a Reliquary Tower out. As soon as i focused more on tutors, mana rocks, and a few board-wipes Wrath of God Day of Judgment Damn She started going off quick and dirty.Sensei's Divining Top is super helpful too. I wouldn't sleep on Dark Ritual if you're short a Jeska's WillGC. I slip a Dark Rit in mine from time to time depending on where I'm playing. I also run Armageddon and Catastrophe. Sometimes Winter Orb ...locks everyone down once I have Her out. I Cant tell you how many times Steel Hellkite has won the game for me. Blows up all dorks and keeps opponents rocks at bay. Plus you can grab him with Enlightened tutor. Dragon Mage could work in this to help load up youre Kaalia drops without needing a Wheel of Fortune Solid build!! Ive been tuning mine for years now.

Cut all of the sorcery speed Stone Rain effects. Numot does twice the work for the same cost.

Lavinia, Azorius Renegade really good alongside land destruction.

Impending Disaster the cheapest Armageddon in the game.

The deck needs more mana rocks to nullify the land destruction. Gilded Lotus is great for one tap Numot activation.

Ink-Spewer Dragon {5}{W}{B}

Creature - Dragon

Flash

Flying, vigilance

When you cast Ink-Spewer Dragon, you may change some of the text of target spell you don't control. You may change any of the following:

• The player or players
• The spell type and / or subtype
• The listed color and / or colors
• What zone a permanent or permanents are moved to
• Type or types of counters

4/4

---

A few examples,

You can change it so that Cyclonic Rift only affects one player, even if that player was the caster of the spell

You can choose how Rolling Thunder delivers its damage

You can choose to make Armageddon only destroy Islands or nonbasics

You could make Path to Exile return your creature to the battlefield instead of exiling it. Or force it to exile someone else's creature. Or hell, make it exile their land if you want

You could make Decree of Savagery put four stun counters on creatures you don't control

---

The rules for this card would be a nightmare to sort out, and the jank that could be pulled in some convoluted combo, especially in Esper, is likely unfathomable and insane

---

Anyway, wildcard

Great theme deck! My personal recommendations of cards to stick to theme would be Canyon Jerboa to represent the kangaroo mouse Muad'dib and potentially an Armageddon to represent Paul threatening to nuke the spicefields

Sidar doesn't need mana to take over the game, especially with Smothering Tithe. Play magic as richard garfield intended. play Armageddon Winter Orb and Cataclysm *list*. You'll thank me later. Here's my list, no big surprises: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/sidargeddon/
