Brace Yourself

by ForOhForError on 14 August 2014

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

A deck focused on the infinite combo of tapping and untapping multiple creatures. Ideal win is on turn 4.

How to Play

Get out either Aphetto Alchemist or Seeker of Skybreak, as well as the Illusionist's Bracers, possibly with Muddle the Mixture to find it. In addition, a Screeching Sliver, Cathartic Adept, or Rootwater Hunter is required.

Use the untap ability on the Alchemist or Seeker (whichever's on the board) , copy it to untap any of the four previously mentioned creatures. This will allow you to mill an opponent to death, or ping them to death.

You need better Tims:
Thornwind Faeries over the Hunter. IT has flying.
Suq'Ata Firewalker over the Spellcaster. IT has protection from red.

And Curiosity, that is what everyone runs with Tims to draw cards. It can draw you cards or make your opponent draw all of his cards.

Fair enough with the Firewalker - the protection from red (essentially) is pure upside. However, the flying isn't as relevant, so the faeries won't make the cut, especially with them being greedier on mana.

So, It does run pretty good, but if i were you i'd toss out 2 Zuran Spellcasters and 2 Cathartic Adepts, replace them with maybe 2 Palladium Myr, and use a Helix Pinnacle, Its not exactly a must, but its just another Win condition, in case you are going against a deck that you may have trouble milling. Since you can already go Infinite with several combos, Why not have one more?

I'd love to have better wincons, but the cheapest that aren't mill are in red and black (for damage and loss of life), and I'm not sure the manabase can take too much of that and remain fairly reliable. And I'm skeptical about taking it from a 3-card combo to a 4-card combo, especially with only 2 copies of what I need :/

I could go the route of adding some Birds of Paradise, some mana elves, and go infinite mana, but that pushes the wincons to 4-card combos. Maybe sideboard that whole strategy, in case the mill comes against one of the Eldrazi reshufflers?

You have multiples of the untappers and wincons, but maybe some Muddle the Mixtures to find the Bracers?
