Oops has made a comeback!

Oops! All Spells is a combo deck made possible by the double-faced lands from Zendikar Rising. Thanks to cards like Agadeem's Awakening  , other cards like Balustrade Spy don't see a single land in the entire deck, since they only see the front side of the card. The goal is to flip our entire library into the graveyard and then use some fun triggers to win the game that same turn. Can you win the game faster than your opponent blinks, and can you finesse your way around crippling hate cards? Let's find out!

This deck should combo off every time, without interaction, by Turn 3. How does it work? It's quite simple: we have to ramp into one of our 8 deck flippers.

Lands

Deck Flippers

Ramp

The Spicy Stuff

  • Now this is where it gets interesting. After flipping the entire library, we will have some triggers from Creeping Chill (4 of), narcomeoba (2 of), and Nexus of Fate (1 of). The Creeping Chills will drain for a bunch, and narcomeoba will trigger the Sword of the Meek (3 of) that we just dumped. Once those artifacts enter, we can exile any other 3 artifacts from out graveyard to return Salvage Titan to our hand, and then sacrifice the Swords or other mana rocks in order to cast it. Once we do that, the Vengevines (4 of) trigger. We go to combat, and swing in for another 16 damage. And that's that!

  • Memory's Journey’s fb cost let’s you not mill out, and you can throw Thassa's Oracle back in to win on the next draw.

Phantasmagorian is in the deck to get essential graveyard cards into the yard in case you draw them.

Turn 3 win

-T1: Land

-T2: Land + Ramp

-T3: Flipper

let me mention some things you need to watch out for:

Graveyard Hate

We straight up lose to virtually all graveyard hate. Rest in Peace, Relic of Progenitus, Surgical Extraction on narcomeoba, it's pretty tough.

Counters

Our control matchup is pretty tough. Even though our combo creatures avoid Force of Negation, it can still get our mana rocks, which lets them stall for other counters for our combo guys.

Land Destruction

Cleansing Wildfire is definitely the worst one here.

So what do we do???

This is where the sideboard plays a crucial roll. I am played many games with the deck and have been able to push through this hate, even though it may be difficult.

Against the majority of decks we have a pretty nice chance of winning Game 1. Now, the next part (the hard part) is knowing how to sideboard against their sideboard.

For Graveyard Hate

-Most graveyard hate takes form in little artifacts that we get get around with the Oracle combo. It is sometimes also really good to bring in Goblin Charbelcher (with 2 Desperate Rituals in hand and 4 mana up, including 2 red, we can splice and then cast the Rituals to get 7 mana for an instant kill).

-Abrade works as well for those artifacts and pesky creatures like Dauthi Voidwalker.

For Counters

-Against control another really good card is Inquisition of Kosilek. You get to check out their hand and take a card out. At worst, the spell will draw away a counter for itself.

-Pact of Negation

-Blood Moon is probably relevant against most control.

-Oracle combo and Belchers can be good as well.

For Creature-Based Hate

-Abrade :)

-Oracle combo

- It should be noted that the double-faced lands can be cast for their spell side! In other builds of the deck we run Emeria's Call  , and I have won games from casting that. Agadeem's Awakening   can also get back our creatures.

-The goal of this specific list is to have a consistent T3 win. After game 1, we can transform into a more interactive deck.

The other decks I've owned have been UG Infect, Hollow One, Seismic Swans combo, Twiddle Storm, and Lotus Breach. I absolutely love janky and sometimes unfair combo decks. I also really like a budget. Personally, Oops! All Spells fits my kind of deck perfectly. If you are like me, then this is definitely a deck for you! If you prefer more interaction in your games, then maybe not. Either way, it definitely is fun, and I think this deck is a wonderful demonstration of how awesomely MTG cards can work together to flip tables.

Well, there you have it folks! This is the first primer I've made, so if you have suggestions leave a comment! Also, I love the discussion so don't be shy to leave your thoughts down below. If you like the deck or if this reading was helpful for you leave a +1 as well.

MTGO Leagues — Feb. 27, 2022
Edit

My last 3 leagues have been 4-1, 4-1, 3-2

One of those was a sad and complete punt on my part. Shoulda been 5-0 :P

But basically, the deck is quite solid. Against hammer time you need to hope you’re on the play lol. Other than that, Thoracle is fantastic and wins so many game.
