Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Mana Confluence allows for a faster game, but with both a monetary cost and a life cost. Temple is cheaper, has SCRY and won't ping you for tapping it.


Triton Shorestalker - Unblockable, allows for easy and early damage.
Flamespeaker Adept - The Nivix Cyclops of Theros Block. Need I say more?
Knowledge and Power - A fun card to use. Allows for late game finish. Think of it as a two mana Shock.
Madcap Skills - The only card that does not deal with scrying other than the Shorestalker. Helps to get the Flamespeaker's damage through as well as buff other creatures attacks. (TESTING RESULT - VERY EFFECTIVE WITH EARLY GAME SHORESTALKER)

How to Play

Ideal Plan:
Turn 1: Triton Shorestalker
Turn 2: Sigiled Creature
Turn 3: Flamespeaker Adept
Turn 4: Allow shenanigans to ensue


A perfect test game...
Opening Hand: Mountain, Mountain, Island, Triton Shorestalker, Madcap Skills, Flamespeaker Adept, Titan's Strength
Turn 1: Island into Triton Shorestalker (Draw: Titan's Strength)
Turn 2: Mountain into Sigiled Skink (Draw: Sigiled Skink)
Swing with Shorestalker (1 total damage)
Turn 3: Mountain into Flamespeaker (Draw: Island)
Swing with Shorestalker (2 total damage)
Turn 4: Island into Aqueous Form (Draw: Aqueous Form)
Was saving Madcap Skills for Flamespeaker, but Aqueous Form came through.
Aqueous Form on Flamespeaker, Madcap Skills on Shorestalker
Titan's Strength on whatever makes it through potential removal.
Swing with the team (3 scry. Assuming Skink is blocked: 15 more damage.)

You've dealt Eighteen Damage by turn 4.
Hopefully you've scryed to a Magma Jet or Bolt of Keranos!

A bit bulky at 3 CMC. Sideboard? I would say that a swan song might be better... allows for more mana for combos and can help to deal with removal if you are unblockable... I didn't give counterspells too much thought. It does have scry and all... if anything sideboard.

2 questions:
1. Does Flamespeaker only trigger once per instance of scry, or would scry 3 give it +6?
2. Would thassa not be completely awesome in this build?
