Meow here with a brand spanking new deck from a standard-banned combo! Ok, to tell the truth, it's a bit of an obvious A+B combo plus generic fair plan C to build your own midrange combo deck. Saheeli and Felidar both draw cards if you build a deck with some come into play value creatures. Stoneforge is an obvious choice because it presents such a different threat to defend against than the Copycat combo. Round it out with Snapcaster and maybe Clique that's a mediocre fair deck plus a mediocre combo deck!

Obvious FAQ time:
- Why is it better than Twin, a tier 3 legacy deck? The mana is better by not needing double red, and your combo pieces can be deployed in any order and draw cards when they come into play (as long as you have another permanent in play).
- Isn't the Stoneforge plan the only good part of this list? Maybe, but threatening to combo (potentially without having to pass the turn if you have 6+ lands in play), plus also having a respectable fair plan makes it quite difficult for opponents to correctly assign role. They have to thread the needle between anwering early threats like Stoneforge, presenting a clock, and leaving disruption for a fairly low-commitment combo.
- Can this deck beat Grixis control? No.

I feel like you missed a golden opportunity to name a deck Meow Mix.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

I went 3-1 tonight, is this deck real? 🤔 Beat Miracles, BUG midrange, Shardless BUG; lost to Burn in close games. That matchup seems favored.
Also, fixed the title, this deck is indeed Meow Mix.

This deck is the Cat's Meow.
With 12 Stoneforge Mystics, do you find yourself running out of equipment to grab? Why not Jitte main?
SoFaI is my favorite sword, but it has an awkward interaction with Saheeli. If you equip SFM (likely your only creature on board) and then drop Saheeli, you can't copy SFM due to protection from red and blue. Protection from white has the same awkward interaction with Cat. Sword of Feast and Famine is the only one that doesn't interfere.
