Ran a league and got a 4-1!

Basically the list above but trimmed aminatou, prophecy, courts, and oath for 4 tymarets blessing plus 2 sevinnes reclamation. Tymarets blessing is not as strong as...

It was a curve thing, but I am not sure 1 mana is worth card disadvantage. Yah without the mana of enchantress I probably can't afford the upkeep on remora.

It got me a bunch of wins in my 5-0,...

Draft list post banning:
Sanctuary and cottage are unreliable to enable vs decks that attack your mana, relegated to sideboard. Slightly upped curve and land count because no more good 1 cmc blink...

I’m really would rather not play a card that isn’t worth a full card to blink if possible, and can’t be used by estrids... medomai’s prophecy lets you do similar things but card positive instead of...

Not sure how to progress after labe ban.


The miracles version relied on it quite a bit to make mystic sanctuary work.

Great blink target for aminatou and yorion.
the tokens mana is...

the 5-0 got a shout out

I am feeling like the deck could use some proactive disruption. Do you think that the Confounding Conundrum plus parallax tide combo could be worth including here (upheaval...

Yah perhaps that idea was too deep and trying to make delverless delver is a bad idea. It’s hard to decide the best way to take the deck. Should it be more aggro with tokens, more prison with etutor...

I think the best direction to go for a tokens list would be an Esper delverblade shell

Compared to delver and SFM, token based threats are a bit lower power but we would be quite resilient to...

History by itself seemed iffy but if it is on top of additional token aggro stuff it could be good. Not sure how we ever beat elves/goblins other go wide without terminus or flyers.

With the list above I got one 5-0! I registered it in the challenge sat. But did terribly. Overall though the win rate is up to around 50%.

A good deal of my wins came from early sarcomancies...

Here is a list based on the 1 cmc enchantments to consistently enable estrids. Previously the mix of 2 drops and 1 drops made the curve awkward so This list has tried to max on the 1 drops to enable...

I inspired more qualified miracles pilots to 3-1 yesterday’s prelim. The list was less janky than mine: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EsvhN3xXYAAuKFC?format=jpg&name=small

Continuing with my more...

Continued testing. Etutor plus discard continues to be great against unfair decks. Yorion plus cavern has been strong vs blue soup. Got to beat Bryant cook by trading my Stoney silence for 2 of his...

These are good comments. It’s true that if I don’t put enough payoff cards in the deck, my setup cards get weaker. The problem with estrids is that labe and strix are much better than the 3rd best...

Jotting down thoughts from my own matches, the league and above:


Miracles/sanctuary/CB package was not horrible, but it introduces more low floor cards and has tension with the sorcery speed...

Fixed hyperlink

It seemed that the blink engines were the best part of the deck and the miracles part was the most iffy. Perhaps cutting the miracles/cb/sanctuary package for a most focused...

boshnroll finally posted the league

It went extremely well for a brew, and he enjoyed the games immensely.

Props: estrids, Yorion, reality acid, and Aminatou

Slops: spell Pierce, few generic...

The smaller size and damage clause makes this a lot worse vs coatl, bolt, or even flipped delver.

Also creatures earlier down the curve makes terminus more awkward. The wish is really interesting...

I realized I want a few 2 drops for sanctuary plus counterbalance reasons. Could Dovin’s Veto replace spell Pierce? It does what I want spell Pierce to do (answer some big t3 haymaker like oko OTD...

Ok, I could buy that it’s too risky to turn on opponents removal.

Etutors have moved back to the SB just to increase hate density vs unfair decks.

Great points. I agree that with so many flash flyers and haste elks terminus isn’t as foolproof at defending the monarch as it used to be. So I can’t support multiple courts without etutor and moat...

Thanks for the advice you gave me! He records well in advance so it’s recorded but not posted rn.

The floor is indeed a 4/4 vs removal and without engines. What is answering the Serra angel...

In pillow fort court of grace just seems better due to the inherent synergy with island sanctuary, moat, and Solitary confinement

The reason to play this would be the synergy with aminatou...

A new history of Benalia was spoiled. This may be better than court of grace due to its higher floor (removal + guaranteed 4/4) even if its ceiling is not as insane.

I submitted and won Brian Coval’s brewing contest with this deck.

Thanks for everyone’s help, check out how it does in a week or so.
