Baral control! Mono blue mono control (Obviously this needs more updating as I and testing/flipping between polymorph and not) (The maybe-board is to show the creatures and setup for the polymorph package.)

The deck is currently on the iso-rev plan after the tragic death of paradox engine. The other ‘win-con’ in the deck is stifling oracle decks for the cheesy kills. I am currently not running polymorph as I value having Baral around long term and the printing of hippocamp. I suspect my counterspells could be changed up/optimized but atm the list is what I am running/testing. 31st land is testing spot. Will change back to 30 as new cards get added.

Brief ‘guide’ for those new to the deck and the line of play I based my card choices after.

Turn 1. Rock or early baral

Turn 2. Baral or rock if early baral.

Turn 3. Clench up and try and stop the combo. Try and get the table to help here and try to not let the other combo players sandbag mana.

Turn 4-6. Stop the gitrog monster if present. Do not let gitrog have both frog and discard outlet on board or you lose.

7+ assemble combo to win.

Flash hulk-assassinate with stifle be careful around turn 3

Gitrog- turn 3-6 are annoying. Try and Steal frogger with gilded or counter him into the dirt.

Najeela- Engulf pretty good here, honestly a hard match up.
