UWr Geist of the Godhead

[Viridia]

So, i was thinking about running UR DelverMagus this weekend, with 4 Nivmagus, 4 Flusterstorm, some amount of Clout of the Dominus.

Then i thought, Geist of Saint Traft would be pretty cool to splash white for, considering it hits like a madman, especially alongside something like a 6/7 Nivmagus, considering they'll take loads of damage regardless how they block!
So when exploring this option i was thinking of something along the lines of Clout, but for Geist. Obviously i quickly came to Steel of the Godhead.

That one got me thinking. There are a fair number of awesome UW creatures nowadays, would it be possible to make some sort of UWx aggro deck that could benefit from it greatly?


This is what i came up with so far:

Mainboard (41)


15 Creatures
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Geist of Saint Traft
4 Judge's Familiar
3 Meddling Mage

26 Other spells
4 Brainstorm
4 Daze
1 Fire // Ice
4 Force of Will
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Ponder
3 Steel of the Godhead
2 Vapor Snag


This would leave room for 19 lands, with some combination of 9 Fetchlands, 1-2 basics, Karakas and 8-9 Duals.


I also thought about going -4 Ponder so you could get the 4th Steel, 2nd Fire//Ice, 3rd Vapor Snag etc.

Anyone think something like this would be playable?

There was a deck that won SCG which did kind of what you're trying to do. Take a look at this list:

Yep. And there is an interesting discussion of the Blouses archetype here:
