Shut It Down!!

by milfstink on 12 November 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)


Enchantments (3)


Land (22)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (1)


Sorceries (4)


Instants (6)

Enchantments (4)

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

Use Cephalid Constable to return permanents to their hands (mostly land). Use Surrakar Spellblade to draw a ton of cards. Of course Distortion Strike and Ring of Evos Isle are there to beef up these creatures, and make them unblockable, shutting down their options. Fatespinner will cause them to skip their phases, and Chasm Skulker will grow every time you draw a card. Betrayal was added to allow you to draw more cards. I'm thinking of swapping that out for Artful Dodge. What do you all think?

Deck discussion for Shut It Down!!

I like this one. I would suggest more counterspells and/or things like fog bank to stay alive till T4 when you start hitting with your unblockables. Also with the CMC 20lands should be enough.

Thanks for the input. I have a deck that's really heavy on counters and bounce, so I want to refrain from that. However, I do like the Fog Bank idea. I need to play test this, and see how it does before I mess with the land. I think 23 is a bit high, but I want to make sure that I can get my 3 cost creatures on the field by turn 3.

Nice deck man. I think you could effectively cut 1 land for a Sapphire Medallion.

That might not be a bad idea. Thanks for the input.

If you happen to have a second, I would really appreciate some feed back on a new deck of mine which I'm debating on building to take to a Legacy tournament.

I get a boner when I see Cephalid Constable in a deck.
I am not sure why he isn't 10 dollars a piece!
I guess because he has to have another card or two to really make him god like.

Haha! That's what I thought when I first saw this card! I thought, "there are so many things I can do with this card; how is it so cheap?!!" So, I decided to make a deck with him that's designed to make him shut the game down. That's why I beef the hell out of Chasm Skulker, then transfer the counters over to Cephalid Constaple with Bioshift, and make him unblockable. All of your problems are gone forever.

I have had 4th turn board swipes with Constable.
2nd turn Boomerang
3rd turn Constable
4th turn either Wings of Velis Vel or Zephid's Embrace. Attack with Constable. Bouncing 5 permanents by opponent's 4th turn will make them flip the table!

LOL That's awesome. I'm gonna build a version of that/this of my own. A friend of mine is gonna hate me for it. He already has a strong hatred for blue.

I never thought of that one, Jessie! Haha! Constable is a complete monster. I just played this deck for the for the first time, last night, and it wiped everything. I didn't even have Constable until the end, and I just used him so I could kill my opponent, and wipe the board. Lol.

It has never lost. 5-0 so far. Against a brutal mono black discard deck.

15 dollars for the entire deck.

"And it wiped everything" that felt great, didn't it? lol
I have done the same thing with Constable. It felt nice considering the deck is only 30 dollars, right?
Watching them as they have to choose which 3,4,5 permanents they return to their hand is fun!

Only Issue I see is aggro outpacing Constable.
If they are able to put several lands and creatures out fast...than Constable will not be able to bounce enough of them every turn, and you will lose.
Besides, that, it is my favorite deck that I own.

That says a lot considering the decks you have.

It is indeed my favorite deck.

Trying to get a Legacy Budget deck for every color bought.
I have the blue one (mentioned above)
I have a black one (Spudshaver's Mono black deck, it is amazing, fyi!)
I have a green one (my land destruction deck)

I need a mono white deck.
And I need a mono red deck.
Been looking around on here, may end up with Northy's white deck or one of his Red decks.
You guys have a suggestion?

Way I figure, I never get to play anyone. Occasionally my wife will play though. So, I thought, since she is a novice, to have a easy to understand/budget deck of each color. That way we could play once a week, or something like that.

Just passed my last test for this semester of school...just a few hours ago, so may take some time and try to make a white budget deck and a red budget deck.

I suck at white, period!
And Red...it seems, of all the colors, the most difficult to make budget. Just 4 Lighting Bolts along is 5 dollars! And I want the budget to be under 35. Might see what I can find/make.

As far as Mono white budget goes while staying simple to play, I would go with something like this.

A lot of fun, simple and effective.

I love Kithkin. They are probably my second favorite Tribal. Neat little guys. I have made a few Kithkin decks, I believe, and not sure if any of them were budget.
Will check out the deck posted above.
Thanks!

Here's my Kithkin deck. It is the oldest deck that I own, and it does very well. The values of some of the cards in this deck have gone up since I built it.

Jessie, what is your criteria for your Legacy decks? Any particular restrictions? I'd like to help with the budget mono white and red decks.

Oh, and one more thing, with Constable, they don't choose what gets returned; you do. He is one of my favorite cards in Magic.

Criteria. Less than 35 dollars. No banned/restricted cards.
Fun to play.
That is about it.

It isn't budget, but have you seen this damned beast?

Holy hell!!!! That is a dangerous card! What set is that from? I can tell that it is Jeskai, but is that the symbol for the second set of the block?

20 dollars, already!!
Fate Reforged, going to be released end of next month.
I surely expect 100 red/white/blue decks on here, when they see the card.

I beat everyone to the punch.
Please support it.
The card deserves it. It has me super excited again, for Mtg.

Please check it out, and I will return the favor with any of your decks.

Too bad us poor people won't be able to afford that card. Haha. I'm sure that thing is going to be expensive.

I've been so excited about this since it was spoiled yesterday. Its gonna fit great into my Delver's Jeskai Scepter deck as well as all my burn decks will now be boros and wont be that screwed when an opponent gains a bit of life.
