Aristocrat: Simic to Win It

by Shinza on 07 October 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Instants (1)


Enchantments (3)


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

Aristocrat deck.

Rules:
1) Decks must contain 60 cards.
2) Decks can have up to 2 rares. Of the two rares, each one must be unique. In other words, a deck can't have two copies of the same rare.
3) Mythic rares are not allowed. Ever! Yes, that means no planeswalkers.
***EDIT: Has been pointed out to me, by s0rinmark0v, that there were 5 Planeswalkers that started out Rares, and were converted over to Mythical Rares:
Aristocrat Planeswalkers (Only allowed Planeswalkers in Aristocrat Format)
- Ajani Goldmane
- Jace Beleren
- Liliana Vess
- Chandra Nalaar
- Garruk Wildspeaker
4) Decks can also have up to 12 uncommons. Like the rares, the number of copies you can include of any particular uncommon is restricted. In this case, no more than three copies of any one uncommon are allowed.
5) The rest of your deck is composed of commons, with the restriction that only 4 copies of up to three particular commons are allowed, with the rest of the deck's commons being limited to no more than 3 per unique common.
6) Basic lands are used as normal, with no particular limit on copies.
7) Sideboards are allowed and encouraged, and may include up to 1 rare and 3 uncommons, duplicating perfectly the rarity distribution of a typical booster pack. Additionally, none of the cards in the sideboard can be copies of the cards in the main deck.
8) Sideboards are allowed to have 4 copies of up to two particular commons in the sideboard.

Idea from Challenge came from:

How to Play

Rare (2)
1x Dig Through Time
1x Eldrazi Conscription

Uncommon (12)
2x Arcanum Wings
3x Invisible Stalker
3x Lorescale Coatl
1x Simic Guildmage
3x Wall of Blossoms

Common (26)
3x Arcane Denial
4x Brainstorm
4x Delver of Secrets
3x Harrow
3x Ponder
3x Preordain
4x Slippery Bogle
2x Traveler's Cloak
1x Treasure Cruise

Basic Lands (20)
12x Island
8x Forest

This deck draws cards and digs. Alot.
*Arcane Denial can either counter a sweeper or one of my own spells (if I want to draw 3 cards).
*Harrow gets lands out of my library (and fills graveyard for Delve spells).
*Brainstorm, Ponder, and Preordain, draw cards and fill graveyard
*Wall of Blossoms and Traveler's Cloak draw cards.
*Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time spend the filled graveyard instead of ridiculous colorless mana to.. wait for it...draw cards.

Delver of Secrets quickly transforms and Lorescale Coatl grows huge. Those are largely for show because the real danger is a hexproof little guy with Eldrazi Conscription.
Slippery Bogle and Invisible Stalker fill those ranks nicely...and cheaply.

There it is... the point. Get Arcanum Wings to cheat in Eldrazi Conscription. Ideally its unblockable too on the Invisible Stalker. Man, that guy's a pest...Glad he's on my side.

Whew.

Hope you like it!

Excelsior!
