    List?

    can you explain a little bit your sideboard choices? Especially the Baneslayer and the Nahiri?
    What do you think of Mistveil Plains?

    Also, do you have any Tournament report/video?

    Sadly no videos. I think I did some reports on salvation.

    I think I posted my primer list so blasts seem fairly obvious. Lot of blue decks that don’t care about some of my prison pieces and gives more protection.
    Leyline is mainly for storm. It’s more a way to slow them down. Most games that play at the parfait pace means we win.
    Elspeth is another win con when needed. Also punishes people for boarding out creature removal.
    Timely reinforcements is great against aggro decks. A life buffer plus speed bumps.
    Aura of silence good against artifacts in general and the big decks.
    Cannonist is basically storm hate plus a clock.
    Councils for any random permanents.

    Baneslayer is a super efficient win con that is castable. Firststrikes most common problems while giving a life buffer. Not really sure what else to say other then adding a creature to a creatureless deck creates hard boarding options for opponents.

    Nahiri obviously gives us card filtering which pairs nicely with tax. Secondly a permanent source of removal. Thirdly, and not really important, but a win condition tutor.

    I should find my deck because I don’t think I updated the sideboard here.

    Looking through my deck I have another copy of rip in the board as well as a phyrexian revoker. That appears to be the only change I have missed. Hope that helps.

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    So I went 2-2 with a UW list similar to the 10th place SGC list last week at the store with only 4 Daze in the main as stack interaction. It just seemed wrong to establish massive card advantage and then have to sit there and watch Elves dump their deck and kill you. Is Force of Will the greedy? Daze is cute and plays with Land Tax sure, but past that it's typically a do-nothing card, just playing 4 copies of Oboro, Palace in the Clouds would have the same result in a majority of cases. Any UW players left to discuss?

    Reasons I love orims chant right there. It really is underrated.

    Not that I’m playing uw, but I think I would go chants main and some number of force board. I generally lean towards white as the main colour so whatever colour x is probably would be better to side in.

    Re: [Deck] W/x Parfait (Tax/Rack Control)

    Orim's Chant always pulled me more into a Quinn-ward direction, but I can see the value you're suggesting. With the new EE land I was musing a Standstill variant to turtle-counter-turtle until the win is guaranteed, but it ended up being nothing but 2 & 3 copies of everything and had no consistency, much too greedy.

    This week I think I'll trim the Dazes down and fit mainboard Force. Having E-Tutor for whatever bullet you need is the same amount of cards, but having the clean answer, especially after swapping out your whole hand in response to something, I'm just more comfortable with that. I'll update my thoughts after the fact.

    Will you also test a playset of Oboro MD?
    How many E-tutor do you play?
    Anyway, good luck with your tests! Tell us how it went.

    The Oboro was more a joke how Daze returns a land but affects little else in a normal course of the game. I wouldn't seriously consider them in any list.

    Yeah, I assumed you were joking, but I genuinely thought you were gonna test them anyway.
    2 Tutors doesn't seem a lot, but I guess it's fine with the cantrips of the blue version Modifier

    Disappointing 0-3 with the deck.

    Deck really felt like I was playing Pox: I played general hardships for my opponent, but never a clock. Further it played like it was essentially a Sorcery speed deck, so when they did land something I cared about, there was nothing I could do but hope to remove it, then eating a Force then slowly watch my locks get removed until the was over.

    Gonna toy around with some different UW shells, maybe pivot back to Parfait in a few months.

    Sorry it wasn't a better report

    for whatever reason Parfait came to my mind today. i recall playing it in vintage in the early 2000's, with Sacred Mesa and such. It was a riot. I am glad to see it has a following still, I plan on remaking it now.

    DO IT!
    I'm personally in the process of foiling it.

    i read through the entire thread over the past couple hours. Its interesting to see the progression of the deck. I have been out of MtG for a while but im jumping back in building legacy decks that i always liked. Since Parfait is pretty poor in vintage I will build for legacy instead. Does the mono white version still have game or is a splash required? I was pretty hardlining on mono w back in the day but i understand things change. I would rather play blood moon over Jace.

    Great to hear. For what it’s worth when I first posted my list someone from k-runs group reached out to me so it got a vintage check mark as far as I’m concerned. The version I champion is similar enough to the vintage build/play style. Red is the preferred splash to help with blue hate and greedy mana while also helping in a secondary belcher win con. It very much plays a prison game with a combo finish. The deck is effectively mono white though so that should feel familiar. Hope that helps you out some. If not, question away.
