[Deck] Erayo Affinity with Scars of Mirrodin

[arbor_p]

This is my try to abuse the new mox.


4 Seat of the Synod
4 Ancient Den
4 Vault of Whispers
4 Mox Opal
1 Chrome Mox
4 Springleaf Drum

4 Memnite
3 Ornithopter
4 Frogmite
4 Master of Etherium
4 Erayo, Soratami Ascendant
3 Ethersworn Canonist

4 Thoughtcast
4 Ponder
2 Preordain
4 Force of Will
3 Cabal Therapy

Sideboard:
1 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Cabal Therapy
4 Cranial Plating
3 Relic of Progenitus
3 Tormod's Crypt
3 Perish

The deck has to gameplans:

1. Flip Erayo as fast as possible and protect it while doing so. Canonist seals the deal.

2. Beatdown while disrupting your opponent.


Some words on cardchoices:

4 Mox Opal: This card is totally sick. Nearly every hand with it is really explosive. Needs to be a 4off even if its legendary. The 2nd Mox you draw in a game is mostly a dead card. Even though there are situations were you flip Erayo through the 2nd Mox you play.

1 Chrome Mox: You really never want to draw 2 of them. But one is good.

3 Ethersworn Canonist: Nearly a hardlock with a flipped Erayo on the table. Good on its own in much matchups.

4 Ponder & 2 Preordain: Helps you to setup the Erayo turn or find some action. Iam thinking about switching 2 Preordain for 2 Thirst for Knowledge, since this deck assambles 3 mana really fast. You could get rid of additional Mox copies.

3 Cabal Therapy: This card supports both gameplans. Also acts as another 0 manaspell for erayo sometimes.

Sideboard:

4 Crainial Plating: They are good against decks with much removal or when you just need more threads for beatdown. Could be moved to the Maindeck.

3 Perish: Zoo, etc

The oldschool builds played Glimpse of Nature in an attempt to cycle into Erayo. It might be better than Thoughtcast if you run more creatures. Past a certain turn, Erayo isn't as effective. You want it as fast as possible. I'm not sure Cabal Therapy has a place here.

Ive been developing this in a thread on mtgsalvation since Mox Opal was spoiled and I have tweaked the list down to a point where I would consider alternating between this and my main deck.

4 Vault of whispers
2 Tundra
4 Ancient Den
4 Seat of Synod
3 Darksteel citadel
3 Mox opal
3 Lotus Petal
3 Memnite
4 Ornithopter
4 Frogmite
4 Erayo, Soratami Ascendant
4 Ethersworn Canonist
3 Myr Enforcer
1 Salvage Titan
4 Cranial Plating
4 Thoughtcast
3 Swords to Plowshares
3 Ponder

3 Chalice of the void
3 Engineered explosive
3 Tormod's Crypt
3 Meddling Mage
2 Pithing Needle
1 Swords to plowshares

I suggest you start there and then see what works for you.

What do you guys think about the new :w: 2/2 Hawk that bounces an artifact? Bounce a 0cc Artifact, play it again...

Repeal is better. And isn't being played.

Now that I think about it more, I do like cabal therapy in this deck alot... I'm going to have to test it once my workload at school eases up a bit.

Salvage titan is very good in this archetype. If you treat it as a combo deck that seeks the perfect hand, serum powder is very strong. Cabal therapy also feels like it wants to be a four of. I'll post the list I've been testing with shortly.
