Deck Description

This one's all about the Chronozoa and making them spread! I've been trying to create a focused casual deck around it for years but haven't had much success. Honestly I feel like this one works.

How to Play

Obviously the main focus is finding the Chronozoa either via card draw aided by Coiling Oracle or searching for it with Elamadri's Call. Ramping up the mana is key which the palladium myr will help with. At this point it's focus is to remove the time counters and get it multiplying as fast as possible. Dust of moments will remove up to two from all creatures, paradox haze gives extra up keeps, and parallel lives will double tokens. If played right, it should get going pretty quick. The mana leaks are for early control and protection for the Chronozoa if needed.

Deck discussion for Chrono Trigger

I like this. I feel like maybe white isn't the best colour in this deck. Sure, you have Dust of Moments and white is helping you get your cards out, but I feel like maybe it's a weak link.

Humour me here... but maybe you should go black instead. Here's why: Vampire Hexmage. Play it, sac it, remove all counters. Costs 2 mana. And to fetch those Chronozoa maybe you could play Diabolic Tutor?

You've had a lot more experience with this type of deck by the sounds of it. Have you tried other colours in the past?

Hmmm I've actually never considered black at all! Haha

Vampire Hexmage is a great card for this deck, but where it's lacking is more in the late game. dust of moments will remove two time counters from all creatures as an instant for just one more in comparison. Technically Timebender is in there to do a similar duty. Play face down for one blue, then when turned face up remove two time counters. Regarding tutoring, diabolic tutor does give me the ability to search for something other than a creature, but the 2+2b casting cost is a bit of a set back. If I had some money to spare perhaps demonic tutor is a better choice.

Really cool idea though using black. I'll have to see what I've got that could work in here. Thanks :)
