Deck Description

I remember clearly my 4th grade experiences with Zendikar and Alara. And right next to memories of pondering how exactly is Misty Rainforest better than Terramorphic Expanse, are memories of Bloodbraid Elf cascading into Lightning bolt. The unbanning, as annoyed as I am by it, gave me an opportunity to take a different angle - one that does not cost a thousand $ - to making people hate me. Ever since I got into competitive-ish magic I always loved annoying people. Some deem turn 3 infect wins fun, I deem turn 4 Death Clouds for 4 fun. This is almost that, except more viable.

Yes, I am aware that Utopia Sprawl can suck, and will suck when Bloodbraid pulls it, but turn 2 stone rains are not to be underestimated.

How to Play

The plan is quite simple, kill lands on turns 2, 3, hopefully 4, 5 and maybe even 6. The point is that people need lands to play magic. But we all know, if they had them, they would likely prevent you from playing. So why not shoot first?

Few decks can survive having their lands attacked whilst being beaten down by any combination of 3/2s and 4/4s. The ones that can are either taken care of by Relic of Progenitus, artifact hate, or a combination of lfegain and removal. All things that our friend Bloodbraid can help us get.

PS: Fuck tron
