You wanna be able to win before letting an opponent play his first turn?

You wanna break seemingly lost games?

You wanna cast huge spells for free? Chain infinite turns? Cast all your cards in a single turn?

Only in magical christmas land!

Narset's Magical Christmas Land:

(Tmalss: Narset, Enlightened Master as a duel deck commander. Mission: ramping to cast Narset & attack ASAP to turn the free turn spells.)

Having 5 specific cards in hand + good cards on the top of library enables a win before an opponents 1st turn:

a land & Lion's Eye Diamond & Mox Opal & Lotus Petal & Dragon Breath in hand; with one turn spell per each 4 cards on the top of library disables the opponent from even starting their game.

Does it happen regulary?

No. The chance for this specific situation is like 0.

But exactly this is our direction. That's the style. This deck is focused on making this kind of situations come as soon as possible.

Is Narset's Magical Christmas Land competitive?

A possibility to win 1st turn? Yes, she can!

Ability to smash another competitive decks? Yes, she can beat anybody!

Consistentcy of winning 4-6th turn? Yeah, that s what she does...and that s why this deck is NOT competitive anymore in a strict meaning. The deck should be consistently wining 3-4 turn or disrupting another win conditions consistently to be truly competitive.

Narset's Magical Christmas Land wins 2nd turn rarely; 3rd turn seldomly; 4th turn from time to time; 5th usually; 6th turn consistently.

While another Narset builds concentrate on voltron or landdestruction or (more effectively) on countermagic, this is Narset's Magical Christmas Land. The focus is on

1.) ramping

2.) interaction

3.) win cards.

1.) Ramp

• 8pcs of Narset's magical 2-mana lands City of Traitors, Crystal Vein, Dwarven Ruins, Remote Farm, Ruins of Trokair, Sandstone Needle, Saprazzan Skerry and Svyelunite Temple make Narset's Christmas come soon.

• 4pcs of 0CMC mana "rocks"

• 11pcs of 2CMC mana rocks

• 9pcs of other mana ramp from direct Simian Spirit Guide and Rite of Flame through explosive Generator Servant and interactive Prismari Command to more solid Basalt Monolith, Coalition Relic, Component Pouch, Saheeli, the Gifted and Thran Dynamo.

Haste!

Flamekin Village; Hall of the Bandit Lord and Hanweir Battlements   are the magical haste-giving lands. Boots of Speed; Chaos Charm; Dragon Breath; Generator Servant and Need for Speed give it also.

2.) Interaction

• WUR provides the best 0 to 1 mana removals & counterspells:

(Chain of Vapor, FoW, Galvanic Blast, Lightning Bolt, Portable Hole, Pyrokinesis, Swords)

• Narset's magical interactive lands can do a lot! Destroy lands (Wasteland) or permanents (Blast Zone) / accumulate mana (Calciform Pools) / protect against counterspells (Cavern of Souls) / save Narset from dying (Access Tunnel) / create big golems (Urza's Saga) and than magically turn into fast mana (Lion's Eye Diamond), mana (Mox Opal), haste (Boots of Speed) or removal (Portable Hole)

• We want to attack with Narset ASAP. Even when she d be running into the embrace of death, there is some 30-40% chance to hit at least one instant removal and a 2-80% chance (depending on a situation) to hit the cards that are strong enough to win even after loosing Narset.

Effectivity?

With Brainstorm, Chandra, Hope's Beacon, Enlightened Tutor, Gitaxian Probe, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, One with the Multiverse, Personal Tutor, Strionic Resonator the first Narset's blow should be the decisive one. Mystic Sanctuary is Magicaly effective land.

• Inclusion of Zendikar rising MDF cards reduces the land count to make Narset's blow more effective. From the hand they usually come as lands Emeria, Shattered Skyclave   or Sea Gate, Reborn  . When turned by Narset, they come as Magical non-land bombs Emeria's Call   and Sea Gate Restoration  .

3) Win

• We want to chain enough extra turns to beat the opponent.

• There are 16 "big spells" - mostly blue extra turn sorceries.

Deck Strenghts: Good chances against creature-based decks. Opponent's targeted creature removal is uselless. Weenie & rock creatures & Less-interactive decks (Emry, Godo) are usually slower.

Deck Weaknesses: Landdestruction and other mana disruption; W stax; U Counterspells; B hand disruption & edicts; R untargeted damage; R/G artifact removal.

(Card Exclusions: Over-powered cards as Fierce Guardianship, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Vault, Moxes, Mystical Tutor, Sensei's Divining Top or Sol Ring are banned in our league and not included in this list.)
