Sideboard


Welcome to modern post-ban eggs. Because ...two-mana Tinker for Black Lotus is a legal play.


So how does it work? Well the main combo is Conjurer's Bauble + Faith's Reward + Pyrite Spellbomb . First you pay R and sac the spellbomb to deal 2 damage to your opponent, then you cast Faith's Reward. Next, you do it again, but you also sac Conjurer's Bauble to get back Faith's Reward. The catch is we need an empty library to do it, and we need a minimum of 2WR per iteration. Empty the Vaults and Noxious Revival provide backup for Faith's Reward. If we are making 9 mana per loop (11 if using Empty the Vaults) then we can use Codex Shredder to get back Faith's Reward to guarantee comboing out.

To draw our deck, we use things like Ichor Wellspring and Chromatic Star, combined with Faith's Reward. To make the mana, we have a few options. Krark-Clan Ironworks is the best mana engine, as it lets us sac Ichor Wellspring for that 2 colorless we need, as well as lots of other 'eggs'. Lotus Bloom is also pretty good for getting that W or R we need.

Game two, people often side in something to shut down Pyrite Spellbomb, such as Pithing Needles or Leyline of Sanctity. To get around this, we side out the spellbomb and side in Blind Obedience to 'eggstort' them to death. (Yeah, the title didn't have enough puns for one deck.)

After seeing Conley Woods' version of Eggs at the GP, I decided to make a few changes of my own:

+1 Darksteel Citadel - I wanted another artifact land for KCI and Opal +1 Codex Shredder - Good to self mill early, if I'm making enough mana per cycle, this can be used to get back Faith's Reward +1 Lantern of Insight - 1 mana egg that can sac itself and can shuffle baubled faith's rewards and help me avoid dead draws. +1 Ichor Wellspring - Best 2 mana egg in the deck, going for the full set +1 Buried Ruin - Trying it out, can get back eggs I used early for Reshape or just get extra value out of an egg mid combo -2 Thought Scour - Often don't use them, figured might as well take em out. -2 Misty Rainforest - Cut mostly for budget reasons, I plan to own the whole deck soon. -2 Prophetic Prism - One of the worst eggs, it costs 2 and can't sac itself.
