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

The main idea of this deck is to use the infinite myr mana combo to pump out artifacts like Lux cannon, Contagion Engine, and Grindclock as quick as possible. If you can proliferate 3 times in a turn you can fire your Lux cannon each turn. Tap it when it first comes out to give it one charge counter then use proliferate for three more. That gives you four charge counters on it when you tap it to destroy something you will be left with one allowing you to proliferate to reload it rather quickly. And while you are proliferating why not mill the heck out of your opponent using the same principle but with grindclock. Of course this combo will take some time so counter spells play a key role in protecting yourself. Using cards with scry will help you to get what you need. Jace also allows you to draw through your deck quickly and with the potential of a big mill. And then the dissipation field buys you even more time by returning creatures that damage you back to their owners hand and giving you another chance to counter them. Any ideas on cards or card balance are welcome...do mind though I would like to keep this in the standard format... if i went back through other sets I could make this much better with cards like fabricate.

I like the counters, but I think it may rely on too many moving parts to work well. If anything happens to your myr the turn you play them, you're a sitting duck with ~ 1 counter a turn.

I use a Thrummingbird/Tumble Magnet combo myself, wonder if it might be good in this build as well? Looks like a lux cannon is a great addition...
