Deck Description

Protein bar: just the nutrients, none of the fat

Here's the theory: 'good stuff' got a lot better once everything started being a 2 for 1. Combine that with the ridiculous dimir tempo build ideas, and you get a fast, efficient deck that out-materials opponent, out-tempos opponent, and out-topdecks opponent.

The little twist with this build is that it tries to take advantage of See the Truth, since recasting it from the grave turns it into a 2-drop 'draw 3'. Running 4 copies of Snap and 2 copies of Arcane Proxy against 3 copes of Truth and some mill off of Thought Scour and your surveil lands isn't a guaranteed combo, but this deck isn't trying to make it the win condition or even a necessary combo. It's just icing on the cake. Truth isn't a 'bad' topdeck, as it's cheap, gives you selection, and fills your grave. So, if you draw it, you're fine. Also, if you draw it, it can sit in your grave, giving you 6 cards you can draw that turn it into a hand refill at ridiculously low cost. Arcane Proxy in particular combos with Truth in a bonkers way, as it essentially makes itself a 'slow' Snapcaster Mage and Ancestral Recall. It's also good fuel for the Force of Negations that will inevitably be in the sideboard.

The rest is sleek, fast, sexy dimir tempo. Get out a sassy little critter with tempo and advantage, protect it, tap and go.

Thoughts appreciated.

Deck discussion for Modern Protein Bar-Competitive

Can't help but feel like Unearth would work really well here.

Also protein bars tend to have a decent amount of fat, it's where some of the flavor and a lot of the nutrients come from. See the Truth!

The more I think about the Unearth/Snapcaster Mage interaction, the more I think it's just busted as all hell. So many opportunities for shenanigans. I could probably get away with shaving an Edict and a Bowmasters for a set.

Unearth pulls back Snap, Snap pulls back Truth, 3 mana gets you a 2/1 and 3 cards. God damn
