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

My entry into Create Your own Card Contest - Future Sight.
Here's my card:

Name: Æther Veil
Cost: 2UU
Type: Enchantment - Aura
Rules Text: Enchant creature
Enchanted creature is unblockable and has shroud.
Aura swap 1U
Rarity: Rare

Aura swap's rule:
Aura swap {X} ({X}: Exchange this Aura with an Aura card in your hand.)

The idea of this deck is to attack with one of the unblockable / flying creatures while it's encjanted with Æther Veil or Arcanum Wings and Aura swap into Eldrazi Conscription, Elder Mastery or Celestial Mantle.

So I'm using 4x Æther Veil in this deck

I'm using the following cards from Magic 2011 as well:

4x Augury Owl
4x Preordain

Name: Augury Owl
Cost: 1U
Type: Creature - Owl
Pow/Tgh: 1/1
Rules Text: Flying
When Augury Owl enters the battlefield, scry 3.
Illus. Jim Nelson
Rarity: Common

Name: Preordain
Cost: U
Type: Sorcery
Rules Text: Scry 2, then draw a card.
Illus. Svetlin Velinov
Rarity: Common

Deck discussion for Aura Swapping

Wow, very nice use of Aura Swap there. This is a powerful combo I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of.

I love Arcanum wings. such an interesting card. I don't know of any other card that has aura swap. I have a deck design based around it as well, called Arcanum what?, and I think it is pretty fun.

There isn't any other card (yet) that has 'Aura Swap'. It was a future Sight thing along with a few other Future Sight cards that are the only ones with their ability.

Yeah, I kind of figured that. Still, it is a fun card that allows for some out of color shenanigans. I have an infinite attack phase combo using it. Not competitive but certainly interesting. This is the only other deck that I have seen to even USE arcanum wings.
