Deck Description

This is a post-rotation experimental deck. I named it Area 51 because it explores an alternative win condition made possible by Azor's Elecutors. With the disappearance of poison and infect, Azor's Elecutors take on increased significance. This deck is a rotation safe standard blend.

The deck is very much in it's early stages of developments. I have not even tested a side-board yet and given the cards in blue/white there are certainly many directions to take in a sideboard.

The point of this deck is basically to stall your opponent and win with the filibuster counters. Interestingly enough, the Azor's Elecutors can become formidable attackers with the right equipment. Protecting the Azors will be critical to any chance of success.

Update: So it went 2-2 at my FNM with the following sideboard. (L 1-2,L 1-2, W 2-0, W 2-1).

Detention Sphere costs too much money. Besides, the real beauty of this deck won't be realized until I make a modern version substituting Viral Drake for Hoverbarrier and Contagion Clasp for Rain of Blades. I actually went with Blustersquall in the version I ran in case someone ran Entreat the Angels or had some crazy populating going on...
