looking for recommendations to improve to deck.
The goal of this deck is to use a combination of cheap, game prolonging artifacts and
The Antiquities War
to win. The life gain will help prolong the game. The deck manipulation with
Artificer's Assistant
and
Zhalfirin Void
will help draw artifact when you want to, or get lands when you need them.
the buddy/check lands are for
Chamber Sentry
so you can smooth out the curve usually cast for 1 or 2 but can be cast for 0 to activate our cast triggers on some of our cards.
The decks this is good against are as follows:
Dimir control: a good portion of out threats are unanswerable until it's too late because their removal is creature based or board wide removal for small creatures which all our threats are 5/5's or bigger, game 2 we side in
Sorcerous Spyglass
,
Cast Down
, and
Duress
.
Izzet drakes: most of Izzet's threats are burn cards and
Crackling Drake
, our plan is to go wide which their removal is ineffective against. Our sideboard plan is.
Lava Coil
,
Cast Down
and
Fight with Fire
.
Not as good match up's:
Golgari midrange: Our game 1 is not very good with there
Wildgrowth Walker
growing out of our 5/5's range and there lifegain can be annoying, we do have a okay side board,
Lava Coil
,
Cast Down
and
Sorcerous Spyglass
if they have
Vivien Reid
.
Selesnya tokens: we have a really bad game one against them but we have a decent game 2 and three against them, bringing in
Selective Snare
,
Lava Coil
and
Fight with Fire
.
Jeskskia control: if
The Antiquities War
gets countered we basically just got set back a few turns, we have others such as
Sai, Master Thopterist
and
Skilled Animator
.
Sideboard is
Banefire
,
Sorcerous Spyglass
and
Duress
, if they win through drakes, bring in 2
Lava Coil
if you do bring in one less
Banefire
.
