I’ve been working on this deck for a while now and its starting to rise in power. After building at least 10 different versions of the deck I finally came up with this build.
The way to the list was rather hard.
I dropped the green (It used to be G/U/W) and with it life from the loam disappeared from the list. This gave me some extra problems to deal with. I had to be able to keep my solitary confinement in play on more than one way then squee, goblin Nabob. That made me add in Mikokoro, Centre of the Sea. The white and blue as the only 2 colours did allow me to throw in enough counter, meddling mage’s and removal to survive past early game and build myself a way towards the lock. The lock obviously isn’t a win (sometimes it is) so I threw in 2 nice pro B/R creatures for 3cc mystic crusader and 2 ]Meloku the Clouded Mirror’s.
I guess most of the other cards are rather obvious why they are in the list, if you wonder why something is in there just ask.
The deck has proven rather strong before sideboard, after sideboard it becomes really hard to win the game because of all the enchantment/grave/land hate people tend to have on sideboard. The sideboard that is on the current list is the sb that was played on the last tournament. (the deck finished really bad on that tournament, but it was piloted by a player who made way to many mistakes)
I’ve been thinking about building a surprise sideboard filled up with beaters like exalted angel for example. Then just side out the whole lock and aggro for the kill. This hasn’t been tried nor playtested yet. It will be after the weekend most likely.
This is the list from the last tournament
Mainboard
4 counterspell
4 force of will
4 solitary confinement
4 impulse
4 brainstorm
2 pithing needle
3 enlightened tutor
4 swords to plowshares
29 spells
3 meddling mage
2 mystic crusader
2 Meloku the Clouded Mirror
4 squee, goblin Nabob
11 creatures
4 flooded strand
3 tundra
1 Seat of the Synod
4 adarkar wastes]
3 Mikokoro, Centre of the Sea
2 gemstone mine
1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
1 Plains
1 Island
Sideboard
3 chill
3 seal of cleansing
3 tormod's crypt
2 pithing needle
2 null rod
2 jester’s cap (it was used as a kind of a test to get rid of all the hate at once)
I can’t give the stats on the meta because those aren’t accurate, and those that were are missing…
Please tell me what you guys think of the list and the general idea behind it
(Is it possible to use card tags on this forum?)
