Sneak Attack-Show and Tell

Legacy Control UR (Izzet)

nvc73


I have been trying to develop a blue/red deck that revolves around 'sneak attack' and 'show and tell'. i am still not happy with the results of this, so consider this one a work in progress.

the main challenges are: 1. to effectively control quicker deck types while you build up enough mana to get sneak or show into play, 2. To make sure you get the key cards you need, and 3. to protect your sneak attack and/or your fatties once they are in play.

the control options i have chosen are a mix of counterspells, burn spells, and artifacts (puppet strings, ratchet bomb). the idea is that you deal with weenies via the burn spells and ratchet bombs, with fatties via the puppet strings, and miscellaneous threats via counterspells.

You could certainly use Nevinyrral's disk instead of ratchet bomb, though i like the latter because you can get it out early and take care of a bunch of weenies that would otherwise hurt you a lot.

the fatties i have chosen here are Emrakul and the blightsteel colossus, they are v.fat, and indestructible / untargetable by coloured spells, respectively. But be warned 'indestructible' etc. doesnt mean they cant be beaten - e.g. the colossus can still be bounced, tapped, pacified, etc..., and i think emrakul can be tapped by eg. puppet strings etc and messed with by coloured things that are in play as opposed to 'spells'.
