Pauper: I Spy

by CiaranMadgrin on 20 January 2016

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.

VERY slightly edited version of the deck above. An interesting deck idea that seems like a helluva lot of fun. Personally edited Exclude for Memory Lapse, and a preordain for a teachings because it can pull 2 combo pieces from the deck. No sideboard yet until I can see how it works in the meta. The list runs REALLY tight so sideboarding might not even be possible. Enjoy!

UPDATE:

Thanks to DedWards for the changes to make this modern legal! Changes for modern:

Preordain -> Serum Visions
Counterspell -> Stoic Rebuttal
Memory Lapse -> Remand or Delay (Prefer Delay for price reasons)
Seat of the Synod -> Darksteel Citadel

How to Play

THE COMBO

3 Artifacts out
Mirran Spy/Battered Golem
Tooth of Chiss-Goria
Banishing Knack/Retraction Helix

So With Spy out (preferably) and 3 other artifacts, you play Tooth for free, then play Knack/Helix targeting Spy. Proceed to bounce and tap Tooth for infinite.

Everything else is self-explanatory. Teachings is just a great card in this list, Counterspell helps deal with threatening cards, and Lapse pulls double duty, countering a card and denying a draw. Artifacts are either for affinity or draw.

Good point. If you want to try it in modern go for it. Only thing I need to know is what is Delay, never heard of it

huh. it's interesting. Yeah, you can totally go modern with it, however this was primarily built for Pauper. I'll update the info regarding this though. Thanks for your input!
