Quarantine, aka COVID Stompy

Snowko was already strong before. Now with Breach's banning, Oko decks have even less natural competition.

4C Snowko, BUG Snowko, RUG Delver Oko, BUG Delver Oko, RUG Painter Snowko, BUG Zenith Oko, 4C LoamKo, Bant OkoBlade, Snowko & Tell....

So how do we beat Oko + Astrolabe Xerox decks?
Let's punish greedy manabases, activated abilities and Xerox cantrips with CVOID (Chalice of the Void) and Suppression Field.

Card Choices:
Suppression Field: Shuts off fetchlands, Wasteland, Oko, Karn, equipment, and many other things

Chalice of the Void: Shuts off cantrips, Astrolabe and combo

Cavern of Souls: Naming Soldier or Human protects most of your white creatures. Also produces colorless mana for TKS.

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben: Hates on cantrips, walkers, combo and other spell-heavy decks

Thalia, Heretic Cathar: Hates on fetchlands even more. Stops Sneak Attack and similar hasty combos. Blockers ETB tapped.

Phyrexian Revoker: More activated ability hate for Oko, Astrolabe, Karn, equipment, etc

Thought-Knot Seer: Hand control

Palace Jailer: Board control and card draw

Recruiter of the Guard: All-purpose tutor

Militia Bugler: Card draw with more variance than Recruiter but a better body

Daru Warchief: Tutorable Lord effect for ground battles. Also reduces costs

Aven Mindcensor/Leonin Arbiter: Even more hate for fetchlands. Also hates on GSZ, Prime Time, SFM and other things.

Armageddon: Tool for ramp and control matchups when they try to stockpile many lands to play through disruption.

Quarantine Field: Flavor. Pitches to Chrome Mox. Makes space to board in cards G2.



Note: This is NOT White Eldrazi/Thalia Stompy because it doesn't want cards like Eldrazi Displacer or Eldrazi Temple, instead running Suppression Field and more white cards.

This is also not Soldier Stompy as it wants to run more hate and less durdle, although it's close to Soldier Stompy. The problem with Soldier Stompy is you're forced to run 30 Soldiers to make Enlistment Officer any good and the Preeminent Captain engine is high variance. Meanwhile white has a lot of good non-Soldier hatebears.

Hahaha, this is so much fun.

With some pretty great tax effects and a higher-than-average curve, have you considered Trinisphere? I haven't tested any of this yet so I don't know how dissynergistic it would be, but it might be a fun "social distancing" card?

Yeah Trinisphere was on the list of cards that just barely missed the cut for SB (along with Thorn of Amethyst and Vryn Wingmare), opting for Deafening Silence instead. There's probably room.

Im loving it!

I'd cut 2-3 aerial responder for preeminent captain, there's enough soldiers.
