Remember de Nija Erayo deck that won german nationals a couple years ago ? It was a tempo deck that wanted to flip erayo as soon as possible to stall the opponents game. It also had the "2º turn ninja of deep hours" plan going.
We can find this in a forum:
"
4 Breeding Pool
3 Forest
5 Island
1 Minamo, School at Water's Edge
1 Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
4 Yavimaya Coast
4 Ornithopter
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Erayo, Soratami Ascendant
4 Ninja of the Deep Hours
3 Higure, the Still Wind
4 Sleight of Hand
4 Mishra's Bauble
4 Mana Leak
4 Remand
3 Disrupting Shoal
4 Repeal
SIDEBOARD:
2 Llanowar Elves
3 Carven Caryatid
2 Meloku the Clouded Mirror
3 Threads of Disloyalty
4 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Disrupting Shoal
The deck used cheap cards such as Ornithopter, Mishar's Bauble, Repeal and Birds of Paradise to quickly reach the 4-spells-per-turn mark needed to flip Erayo. The 0-power flyers filled another role as well: enabling a turn 2 Ninja of the Deep Hours. A typical ideal game would go like this:
Turn 1: Ornithopter.
Turn 2: Attack, then when your opponent raises an eyebrow you swap it with Ninja of Deep Hours.
Turn 3: Play Erayo (1 spell), play Ornithopter (2 spells), play Repeal on Ornithopter (3 spells), replay Ornithopter (4 spells, flip!). Oh, and attack with the Ninja for another card.
Turn 4: Opponent scoops up cards in disgust.
The deck was popularized by Maximilian Bracht, who won the 2006 German Nationals with it."
The deck also used a strong sideboard against creature decks, normally with 4 of each Carven caryatid and threads of disloyalty.
In the time being, with tempo decks dominating the metagame (******** and even some version of landstill), and understanding that goblins would absolutely steamroll this kind of deck, can we make this a legacy deck ?
This is a scratch from the top of my head:
4 tropical Island
4 flooded strand
4 polluted delta
4 wasteland (don't know if it's a good ideia)
3 Island
1 Forest
4 Birds Of Paradise
4 Ornithopter
4 Ninja Of Deep Hours
4 Erayo, soratami ascendant
3 Higure, the still wind
4 Brainstorm
4 force Of Will
4 Counterspell (double blue ???)
* Daze
4 repeal
... and i definitely need help to get this going.
Any suggestion ?
