Deck Description

This was a Deck i Brainstormed 5 hours before an FNM. I Took it to Compete, and Took Straight Sets Every Round. Other Then The Jace, The Mind Sculptors, The Deck Is Reletively Affordable.

The Basic Idea Is To Ramp And Counter Your First Few Turns Using Explores/Mana Leaks/Deprives. Yes. Deprive. Why, You Ask? The 4x Oracle Of Mul Daya let you blow out your opponent on usable mana sources while you wait on your Finishers or Posession Spells.


Here Are The Decks I Played And The Finishings On Each Game During The FNM

Round 1

Red/Black Mimic Vat

I Knocked the Player off of Red Mana with tec edges and spreading seas, They Cast Grave Titan During 1 Game and Wurmcoil During The Previous Game, I Reined them Both and Rite Of Replicated Them for The Win.

Round 2

Kuldotha Red (AKA Red Deck Wins)

This Deck I know from experience runs maybe 20-22 Lands so i cast a Ratchet Bomb and blew up their tokens, Spreading Seas Their Mountains and Jace -1 On Their Creatures Making Them Unplayable. Then i Kicked Rite of Replication On My Frost Titan For The Win Both Games.

Round 3

G/B Infect

Possibly The Scariest Matchup i Had All Night. Went 3 Games, Being At 9 Poison Counters when Winning Games 1/3. I Actually Didnt Kick Rite Of Replication For Wins this time around. i jace -1 and countered their creatures after surviving the early game. Then i spreading seas their green sources and swung with 2 frost titans on back to back turns.

Round 4

U/W Control

I Lost Game 1 To Being Mana Screwed On Turn 7 i had 3 lands into play which really Sucked. But Rebounded Games 2 and 3 To Win The Tournament By Using Volition Reins On Venser, and Acidic Slime To Remove Lands from A Land Screwed Opponent.


The Sideboard Is Pretty Easy, Often When this Deck Plays the Juggernaut of the World Meta That Is B/R Vamps, Pelakka Wurm Is An Allstar, Its Not Hard For This deck to Get To 7 Mana On turn 5. And With Early Game Seagate/Ratchet Bomb, Your Almost Guarenteed to Be Still In It and the 7 Life is Always To Relevant. Plus Its a MAJOR Stomp on a Vamps players nuts if you Kick a Rite Of Replication on them. 42 Life and threatening 42 Trample Damage Is No Fucking Joke. The Stormtide Is For Most Aggro Decks, If You Dont have the wurm drop a leviathan and you get board advantage by not letting them attack while you search for the Wurm. Domestication and Vapor Snare are just So Relevant Aswell, Vapor Snare is a HUGE UP when Most Decks are Defined by how powerful their titans become when their decks go off. Domestication is for more of a Steal And Pitch as Early as Turn 3. I might actually cut domestication in favour of another wurm. Terastodon Is Also just that Relevant when another half of the Meta is Ramp Decks. When you have mainboard ratchet bombs and you terastodon Valakuts or Eldrazi Greens Lands, Their Not So Good. Garruk Is Mostly For Heavy planeswalker Decks, Being able to threaten a 3/3 every turn for 3 turns after a Day Of Judgment or just for Chumping to keep jace around is VERY good and Extremely Relevant against Aggresive Decks.

Please, Comment And Rate. And if your Looking For Something New To Take To Your Local FNM, I Suggest giving This a Try, i also suggest getting a few test games in vs some friends so you get the feel of how it plays before you blindly run in with it.

If You Got This Far Reading Your a Champ.

Deck discussion for U/G Control

I really like the idea of this deck, although, being that I dont have a playset of TMS, or any for that matter I dont know how well it would work. I think I am going to give it a try in some form though as I am very intrigued by it.

Depends on your local meta-game. Most decks in my area are Titan Based Control Decks or Aggro. I gave this deck a try to see how it would play out and it worked fine. most decks cast titans to win now. so being able to steal the titans, and then Replicate them is just sickening. If most your local meta is AGGRO decks, i would test this extensively before going to local FNM. Its good times though. very fun and very unexpected.

Probably not. Thats the WORST thing you could do. Mitotic Slime doesnt do enough and Rite Of Replication is how you win games. So removing 1 of the decks 2 Win conditions is highly non-ideal.
